Electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, and the shifting landscape of entertainment are currently reshaping industries, according to recent reports. While the EV market sees a surge in competition and AI models revolutionize coding, the temporary relocation of WWE's "Smackdown" highlights the dynamic nature of media consumption.
The electric vehicle market is experiencing significant shifts. Last year, Tesla lost its title as the world's largest EV maker to China's BYD, according to Wired. Automakers, including luxury brands, are racing to release their own EVs, but some are scaling back production plans, raising questions about the market's future. Wired will host a livestream to discuss the future of EVs, including the build-out of charging infrastructure and the potential obsolescence of gas-powered vehicles.
Meanwhile, the tech industry is undergoing rapid transformation. OpenAI and Anthropic recently launched powerful new coding models, GPT-5.3-Codex and Claude Opus 4.6, respectively, as reported by Fortune. These models can write, test, and debug code with minimal human intervention, potentially disrupting traditional programming. According to Fortune, these advancements have led developers to question the future of traditional coding. Marc Andreessen's 2011 prediction of software "eating the world" has largely come true, but artificial intelligence is now poised to disrupt the software industry itself, challenging even the most optimistic forecasts, according to a multi-source article in Fortune.
In the realm of entertainment, WWE's "Smackdown" will temporarily move to the SyFy channel for two weeks due to the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Variety. The show typically airs on the USA Network.
Artificial intelligence is also impacting personal relationships. One user, Esther Yan, formed an online marriage with her ChatGPT companion, Warmie, highlighting the emotional connections users have formed with AI, according to a multi-source article in Wired. The recent discontinuation of GPT-4o, the model powering Warmie, caused significant distress among users who view the chatbot as a companion, leading to widespread disappointment and protest.
