It’s been almost a full week since the Super Bowl LIX lineup was set: AFC champions the Kansas City Chiefs will face NFC champs the Philadelphia Eagles. If that roster sounds familiar, it’s because it’s a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl, where the Chiefs edged out the Eagles 38-35. Will the Eagles get their revenge this year, or will the Chiefs go where no NFL team has gone before: an unprecedented three straight Super Bowl wins. 

Super Bowl LIX will be played at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA on Sunday, Feb. 9 with a 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff. The 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show will feature Kendrick Lamar, who recently confirmed that SZA will be joining him. The championship game will be broadcast nationally on Fox this year and will be available on platforms like DirecTV and Fubo. Looking for a free way to tune in? The Super Bowl will also be livestreamed on Tubi — in 4K, no less!

Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the Super Bowl.

The 2025 Super Bowl will be held on Sunday, Feb. 9.

Super Bowl LIX kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.

Super Bowl LIX will air nationally on Fox and stream live on Tubi.

Tubi will be livestreaming Fox’s coverage of the Super Bowl this year — the first time the free platform has done so. It will also be available in the Fox Sports app on mobile platforms. Beyond that, you can also sign up for free trials of DirecTV Stream, Fubo, YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV, each of which carry Fox in most locations. Two important caveats: Verify that your locality includes a Fox stream by inputting your ZIP code on their respective sites. And if you don’t want to pay, make sure you cancel before the trial subscription ends — they can be as short as three days, so plan ahead.

The Tubi option above is the easiest go-to starting point for free Super Bowl streaming — but no one knows how the service will hold up under what’s certain to be its most intensive influx of concurrent users. There are plenty of worthwhile backups, each of which offer more comprehensive options for cordcutters beyond the game itself — say, watching SportsCenter on ESPN before or after the game. And most of our picks for best live TV streaming services offer free trials, so you can check them out risk-free. If you time it right, your free trial can include the Super Bowl broadcast, too. 

The 2025 Super Bowl will be held at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The venue has been host to seven previous Super Bowl games.

Kendrick Lamar is headlining Super Bowl LIX, with a guest appearance by SZA.

AFC champions the Kansas City Chiefs will play NFC champs the Philadelphia Eagles.

Thanks to the wide array of streaming options detailed above, you’ll be able to watch the Super Bowl on nearly any current device with a screen. There are plenty of Super Bowl TV deals ahead of the game if you need to upgrade that aging 40-inch screen with the dead pixels in the corner. And for as little as $40 or less, a new Roku or Fire TV device will ensure that you have all of these apps (including Tubi) if they’re not already built-in to your screen. See our list of best streaming devices for the full range of options.

OpenAI's o3-mini is here and available to all users

Posted in: Today's Chili

OpenAI’s latest machine learning mode has arrived. On Friday, the company released o3-mini and it’s available to try now. What’s more, for the first time OpenAI is making one of its “reasoning” models available to free users of ChatGPT. If you want to try it yourself, select “Reason” in the message composer to get started. 

According to OpenAI, o3-mini is faster and more accurate than its predecessor, o1-mini. In A/B testing, the company found o3-mini was 24 percent faster than o1 at delivering a response. Moreover, set to its “medium” reasoning effort, the new model can come close to the performance of the more expensive o1 system in some math, coding and science benchmarks. Like OpenAI’s other reasoning models, o3-mini will show you how it arrived at an answer instead of simply responding to a prompt. Notably, the model works with ChatGPT Search out of box, enabling it to comb the web for the latest information and useful links. OpenAI says it’s working on integrating search across all of its reasoning models.   

“The release of OpenAI o3-mini marks another step in OpenAI’s mission to push the boundaries of cost-effective intelligence. By optimizing reasoning for STEM domains while keeping costs low, we’re making high-quality AI even more accessible,” OpenAI said. “his model continues our track record of driving down the cost of intelligence—reducing per-token pricing by 95% since launching GPT-4—while maintaining top-tier reasoning capabilities. As AI adoption expands, we remain committed to leading at the frontier, building models that balance intelligence, efficiency, and safety at scale.”

With today’s announcement, o3-mini will replace o1-mini in the model picker. Additionally, OpenAI is tripling the rate limit for Plus and Team ChatGPT users from 50 messages per day with o1-mini to 150 messages per day for o3-mini.  

When OpenAI first previewed o3 and o3-mini at the end of last year, CEO Sam Altman said the latter would arrive “around the end of January.” Altman gave a more concrete timeline on January 17 when he wrote on X that OpenAI was “planning to ship in a couple of weeks.”

Now that it’s here, it’s safe to say o3-mini arrives with a sense of urgency. On January 20, the same day Altman was attending Donald Trump’s inauguration, China’s DeepSeek quietly released its R1 chain-of-thought model. By January 27, the company’s chatbot surpassed ChatGPT as the most-download free app on the US App Store after going viral. The overnight success of DeepSeek wiped $1 trillion of stock market value, and almost certainly left OpenAI blindsided. 

In the aftermath of last week, OpenAI said it was working with Microsoft to identify two accounts the company claims may have distilled its models. Distillation is the process of transferring the knowledge of an advanced AI system to a smaller, more efficient one. Distillation is not a controversial practice. DeepSeek has used distillation on its own R1 model to train its smaller algorithms; in fact, OpenAI’s terms of service allow for distillation as long users don’t train competing models on the outputs of the company’s AI.

OpenAI did not explicitly name DeepSeek. “We know [China]-based companies — and others — are constantly trying to distill the models of leading US AI companies,” an OpenAI spokesperson told The Guardian recently. However, David Sacks, President Trump’s AI advisor, was more direct, claiming there was “substantial evidence” that DeepSeek had “distilled the knowledge out of OpenAI’s models.”

WhatsApp claims that 100 journalists and activists were the targets of Israeli-made spyware

Posted in: Today's Chili

WhatsApp has claimed that some users were “possibly compromised” by spyware, according to a report by The Guardian. The Meta-owned messaging app went on to allege that nearly 100 journalists and activists were targeted in the attack. Additionally, the platform says it has “high confidence” that the Graphite spyware came from Paragon Solutions, a company founded in Israel that was recently acquired by a US investment firm. 

Hacking experts allege that this was a “zero-click” attack, meaning that the targeted users wouldn’t have had to click on a nefarious link to get infected. This is a similar method to another large-scale WhatsApp hack, in which spyware called Pegasus infected over 1,400 devices. Once a device is infected by something like Pegasus or Graphite, the spyware operator has total access. This even includes the ability to read messages sent via encrypted applications like WhatsApp and Signal.

WhatsApp says it has informed the 100 or so users of the potential attack, but has declined to disclose where they are based and who they are. It did say that it disrupted the alleged attacks back in December, though it’s unclear how long the targets may have been under threat.

“This is the latest example of why spyware companies must be held accountable for their unlawful actions. WhatsApp will continue to protect people’s ability to communicate privately,” a company spokesperson said. WhatsApp has sent Paragon a “cease and desist” letter and says that it’s exploring legal options.

As for Paragon, it recently entered into a controversial $2 million contract with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department. Wired reports that the one-year contract tasks Paragon with providing a “fully configured proprietary solution including license, hardware, warranty, maintenance and training.” The company has yet to respond to the allegations from WhatsApp.

Sonos speakers and soundbars are up to $250 off right now

Posted in: Today's Chili

If it’s your turn to host a Super Bowl party this year, you might be looking to beef up your sound system before all of your guests turn up. Perhaps with something like that in mind, Sonos is running a sale on its speakers and soundbars on both Amazon and its own website. One of its products, the Era 100, has dropped to an all-time-low price of $199. The speaker will typically run you $249.

The Era 100 is our pick for the best midrange smart speaker and we gave it a score of 88 in our review. It delivers great audio and can reach loud volumes, while Bluetooth and line-in support are certainly welcome. With the Era 100, Sonos has simplified its Trueplay tuning feature by making use of built-in microphones to optimize audio output for the room the speaker is in. On the downside, while the Era 100 works with Alexa and Sonos’ own voice assistant, it doesn’t support Google Assistant.

Like other Sonos speakers, the Era 100 can be used as part of a whole home audio system. So you’ll be able to set up units in other rooms so that even when they’re away from the TV, your guests can still hear all of the action at the same time as everyone else.

It’s also possible to set up two Era 100 units as rear speakers in a home theater setup. If that’s the route you wish to go down, you might want to have a soundbar in place too. As it happens, several of Sonos’ models are on sale.

The original Arc soundbar is down to $649, which is $250 off. As for the Beam Gen 2, that can be yours for $100 less than usual at $399. We reckon the Beam is the best midrange soundbar. However, the Arc Ultra, our recommendation for the best premium soundbar, isn’t on sale this time, unfortunately.

Meta Safety Advisory Council says the company's moderation changes prioritize politics over safety

Posted in: Today's Chili

The Meta Safety Advisory Council has written the company a letter about its concerns with its recent policy changes, including its decision to suspend its fact-checking program. In it, the council said that Meta’s policy shift “risks prioritizing political ideologies over global safety imperatives.” It highlights how Meta’s position as one of the world’s most influential companies gives it the power to influence not just online behavior, but also societal norms. The company risks “normalizing harmful behaviors and undermining years of social progress… by dialing back protections for protected communities,” the letter reads. 

Facebook’s Help Center describes the Meta Safety Advisory Council as a group of “independent online safety organizations and experts” from various countries. The company formed it in 2009 and consults with its members on issues revolving around public safety. 

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the massive shift in the company’s approach to moderation and speech earlier this year. In addition to revealing that Meta is ending its third-party fact-checking program and implementing X-style Community Notes — something, X’s Lina Yaccarino had applauded — he also said that the company is killing “a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse.” Shortly after his announcement, Meta changed its hateful conduct policy to “allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation.” It also removed removed a policy that prohibited users from referring to women as household objects or property and from calling transgender or non-binary people as “it.”

The council says it commends Meta’s “ongoing efforts to address the most egregious and illegal harms” on its platforms, but it also stressed that addressing “ongoing hate against individuals or communities” should remain a top priority for Meta as it has ripple effects that go beyond its apps and websites. And since marginalized groups, such as women, LGBTQIA+ communities and immigrants, are targeted disproportionately online, Meta’s policy changes could take away whatever made them feel safe and included on the company’s platforms. 

Going back to Meta’s decision to end its fact-checking program, the council explained that while crowd-sourced tools like Community Notes can address misinformation, independent researchers have raised concerns about their effectiveness. One report last year showed that posts with false election information on X, for instance, didn’t show proposed Community Notes corrections. They even racked up billions of views. “Fact-checking serves as a vital safeguard — particularly in regions of the world where misinformation fuels offline harm and as adoption of AI grows worldwide,” the council wrote. “Meta must ensure that new approaches mitigate risks globally.”

Uber files racketeering suit against New York groups alleging car crash fraud

Posted in: Today's Chili

Uber has filed a racketeering suit against a group of legal firms and medical professionals, claiming they staged car crashes and performed unnecessary surgeries to commit insurance fraud, Bloomberg reported. The group allegedly recruited passengers involved in purported or minor vehicle collisions and provided “medical unnecessary… [sometimes] invasive and painful surgeries like spinal fusions,” according to the federal suit filed in Brooklyn yesterday.

Driving the alleged racket is New York’s no-fault insurance, particularly as it applies to cab and rideshare chauffeurs. The city forces those workers to carry personal injury coverage up to $200,000, four times that required for individual drivers — providing potential scammers with lucrative targets. 

There are other issues behind the claim. New York City’s largest taxi insurer, ATIC (American Transit Insurance Co.), which insures about 60 percent of the 120,000 for-hire vehicles in the city, recently went insolvent. Uber sued ATIC last year, saying that its “unreasonable practices” spawned 23 lawsuits against Uber, forcing it to deal with the claims itself in court. 

On top of that, ATIC itself filed a $450 million racketeering suit in December last year, also seeking damages from doctors and others for insurance fraud. That has left New York with a big mess around the availability and pricing of for-hire insurance, so Governor Kathy Hochul recently proposed legislation to make it easier for insurance to adjust commercial car insurance rate. 

Uber has been pushing for insurance and tort reform in multiple states to address rising insurance costs that have hurt its business. The company recently agreed to a $328 million settlement with New York rideshare drivers who were underpaid between 2014 and 2017.
