But Microsoft and Google released their chatbots anyway, driven by a race to control what could be the tech industry’s next big thing. Researchers said Microsoft and Google were taking risks by releasing technology that even its developers don’t entirely understand. But the companies said that they had built sophisticated filtering systems to weed out hate speech and content that could cause obvious harm.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are on their first tour together in seven years.Nina Westervelt for The New York Times 7. Live music is roaring back, but fans are reeling from sticker shock.

The once simple act of buying a concert ticket has morphed into a frustrating mess of high prices, anxiety-inducing presale registrations and pervasive scalping. Acts like Springsteen, who built his reputation as a man of the people with his bargain rates over the years, shocked fans with “dynamic pricing,” which sends prices skyrocketing when demand spikes.

Christopher Payne for The New York Times 10. And finally, a real-life Willy Wonka experience.
