‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

I confronted a tech boss about my sister’s suicide. I don’t know why I bothered Aimee died at 21 after going on a notorious self-harm forum. But when I approached a tech CEO to talk about online safety at a Davos debate, I was threatened with removal, writes Adele Walton

Recent street art finds from Brick Lane and the surrounding streets.

Who are the idiots who actually green-lit this atrocity in the first place?

Universal basic income could be used to soften hit from AI job losses in UK, minister says Lord Stockwood says people in government ‘definitely’ talking about idea as technology disrupts industries

Many people claim AI is “hype,” but the fact is it—along with the algorithms and machine learning they rely on—is potentially more dangerous than nukes to humanity.

Campaigner launches £1.5bn legal action in UK against Apple over wallet’s ‘hidden fees’ James Daley says anti-competitive behaviour led to additional charges that have pushed up costs for millions

I bought iPhone 17 Pro, why? For the camera.
I turned off Siri and Apple Intelligence.

Oh, great, now the rest of Apple is doomed because of AI too TSCM has found a new best friend and that's bad for Apple.

Oh what nonsense. Who, at the consumer level, is actually buying AI with good old fashioned money? It's a bubble, and guess what happens to bubbles ...

AI will transform the ‘human job’ and enhance skills, says science minister Patrick Vallance says robots would take away ‘repetitive’ tasks, but Sadiq Khan warns AI will usher in ‘new era of mass unemployment’

Well, at least Sadiq gets it. But Vallance outs himself as slop. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It’s hard to justify Tahoe icons Looking at the first principles of icon design—and how Apple failed to apply all of them in macOS Tahoe
