Your chats with Meta's AI might end up on Google β€” just like ChatGPT until it turned them off Meta lets you share your chats with its AI bot to a public feed. Google can index that feed β€” and make your searchable and public.

OpenAI stopped having certain public ChatGPT posts be indexed by Google after people complained. Meta AI? They'll keep doing it! www.businessinsider.com/meta-ai-chat...

'The Diary of a CEO' star Steven Bartlett is using AI to make new podcasts hosted by a virtual version of himself The execs behind "Diary of a CEO" podcaster Steven Bartlett's company describe how he's using AI to build franchises.

I think what's most interesting here is the idea that there are people -- many, potentially -- who are perfectly delighted to watch an AI version of a podcast host pretend to interview an AI version of Richard Branson www.businessinsider.com/diary-of-a-c...

Being a millenial is so beautiful because you go from laughing at this in 2011 to sympathizing with the parents in 2025 toobigforstroller.tumblr.com

This 81-year-old still works at Home Depot to support herself and her 90-year-old husband More older Americans are working well into their 80s just to survive. Meet a couple from the Silent Generation who say they can't afford to retire.

This is a good reminder that while millennials love to complain that the 2008 recession hampered their early careers, the group that it really fucked up was people who were in their 60s at the time www.businessinsider.com/older-americ...

I changed its speech to 1.3x so this vid is faster than usual. What was weird/buggy is the voice kept changing

Rudi is meant to tell kid-friendly stories. I tested it out - it didn’t do anything β€œbad” (no mechahitler), per se. But there’s very little research on little kids and AI chatbots, and some obvious concerns

Grok has an AI chatbot for young kids. I used it to try to understand why. "Rudi" is a red panda that's part of Elon Musk's Grok app. It tells stories aimed at kids. I wondered why they'd make this, so I tried it.

Grok launched a "waifu" chatbot last week, but no one really seemed to talk about the other character companion chatbot it also launched: "Rudi", a red panda aimed at kids 3-6yo. I think.... AI chatbots for kids should be approached with more caution, perhaps? www.businessinsider.com/grok-chatbot...

Inside the 12 hours it took for an awkward moment at a Coldplay concert to go viral The video of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron ignited the internet. Here's a play-by-play of how a few Coldplay fans led to a viral moment.

This is a great tik-tock of how the kisscam CEO story spread, but frustratingly a key element is still unknown: how the identity of the guy was discovered. Pimeyes? Someone who knew him irl? We may never know www.businessinsider.com/astronomer-c...

To be honest, I haven’t trusted Stephen Colbert ever since he conveniently abandoned all his right wing views as soon as he got hired to host a network talk show

I never want to know what you did at a Coldplay concert Chris Martin, why does Coldplay have a "kiss cam," anyway? I'm not sure I want to know about what happened between two adults outside Boston.

We should all know less about what each other do at Coldplay concerts www.businessinsider.com/coldplay-con...

Why you might be the problem if you're getting the 'Gen Z stare' If a young person in customer service is giving you a blank stare, perhaps you're the one who's being unreasonable.

I think the "Gen Z" stare may be real, and because young ppl aren't socialized enough. But also... most examples were of customer service situations, and if you're getting blank stares in that situation, maybe take a long look in the mirror www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-stare-...

Gen Z doesn't say 'hello' when answering the phone. I'm concerned. Gen Z is making up its own etiquette rules when it comes to answering the phone. Some of them aren't saying "hello." They want you to first.

I have learned that Gen Z expects the person calling to say "hello" first, instead of the person answering; upending a century of phone norms. You know what? fine, I say. Phone calls aren't what they used to be anyway www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-phone-...

As a fellow millennial… I didn’t get this all in but part of the mechanism of answeree saying hello first is to signal that they have not just opened the phone but have held it up against their head. Without that, the caller has no idea when to start speaking - leading to unnecessary crosstalk

This iPhone feature is threatening to ruin my life. You should be careful with it, too. My iPhone keeps almost sending random audio recordings to people β€” and that's my worst nightmare. Here's what I figured out was going on in iMessage.

Are you constantly accidentally recording audio messages in iMessage? Has it almost ruined your life on a near-weekly basis? Me too!

Good news: you can stop this by turning off "Raise to Listen" in Settings>Apps>Message www.businessinsider.com/iphone-apple...
