now why are you doing my boy dirty with this headline?

Stock price chart showing the 64% decline over the last six months for duolingo

Duolingo announced it was going “AI-first” just over six months ago. Since then its stock is down 64%.

I love companies being punished for replacing workers with AI. Gimme more

Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.

Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.

This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

An anonymous Japanese game studio is making applicants draw in front of them during interviews to prove they don't use generative AI 🎮

“Only human creators can produce compelling characters and graphics from scratch”

Caleb Hearon on AI: "They're in the process right now of manufacturing consent for this technology and when ... they offer you hundreds of thousands of dollars to do an ad deal for them, they are doing that because they need your help to manufacture consent for this."

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Tucson residents fought back against Amazon’s secretive plans to build a data center in the desert — and won.

But now, in a blatant attempt to override the City Council and the will of the people, Amazon and the project’s developer is pushing ahead anyway.

It is always ethical to bully Amazon.

AHHH! It's Deal #13!

Wondering about the alternate timeline where he's called relish instead of mustard and hotwiring my own mental breakdown.

Screenshot of a tweet from Jampzey on X.com that says “today I learned.” Below is a Reddit comment by user Jack_Brutal saying: “If you have a VPN, connect to Albania server. It is illegal for YouTube to have ads in Albania.” The comment shows upvotes, downvotes, and reply counts.

And suddenly Albania VPN use is through the roof. (I understand there are a number of other countries that also ban ads…)

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Buying this for someone who asks for a tv for christmas.

Starting January 1st, California will mandate that any use of AI-altered real estate photos in listings be disclosed, and that a link to the unaltered image be included.

It will be a criminal offense to fail to make this disclosure.

Air Riders is fun, guess my favorite character

Woah!

Ontario passed a law starting Jan 2026 that it is illegal for companies to ghost you.

If you have interviewed for a job they are legally required to inform you if they hire someone else or close the position.

The law also requires salary transparency on listings and disclosing use of AI

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

#Dispatch devs have no interest in using AI for game development 🎮

"AI feels like a production solution, not a creative one. Maybe it's a creative one if you aren't creative"

"Whatever we're building, it has to connect. It's got to be made by people. It's got to connect to people"
