Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

"Get away from me right now," King, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in Iraq and earned both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, can be heard telling the three male guard members in the video as they approach her on the bench. "You have absolutely no authority to detain me."

A veteran was detained by the National Guard in her front yard. Now she's suing

Military veteran and D.C. resident Anna King has filed a $3 million lawsuit against the Idaho National Guard, saying three guard members assaulted her while detaining her in front of her home.

Trump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."

"Flock cameras are just one part of a vast ecosystem," @lastweektonight.com's John Oliver warned his audience last night. "Check out resources like the EFF's Atlas of Surveillance, which catalogs each of the technologies used in your area." www.atlasofsurveillance.org/

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

I am not saying the economy is backwards but... I have a friend who makes 6 million in profit a year for his company. He is currently looking to find a second job. His pay is shockingly low.

The Trump family said they were “debanked” for political reasons after Jan. 6—and used that to justify going hard into crypto. Turns out Capital One flagged them for money laundering. And then Blanche wrote the memo shielding the Trump family from IRS audits? Hm.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

We could've made this montage of liars an hour long but you get the point

Can feel like shouting into the wind a bit but: I’m open to freelance writing and editing assignments! Interested in reviews, news, etc. If you have a project/assignment you think I’d be a good fit for, DMs are open!

Apparently Google wants to do the thinking for me. They think it's a great idea to send my boss a selfie.

AI Companies Are Trying to Hide a Staggering Amount of Debt

AI companies are pouring tens of billions of dollars into enormous data centers. They're being built on top of a mountain of hidden debt.

Despite its success, Electronic Arts rewarded some of those who made Battlefield 6 by laying them off. It's a different story for EA CEO Andrew Wilson.

After laying off Battlefield 6 developers, EA pays its CEO $38 million because Battlefield 6 did so well

That's an $8 million raise over 2025.

We still have the cultural image that actual Nazis were defeated in the 1940's, and the remaining Nazis are either unemployed basement-dwellers or fringe militias in Idaho. There is still a reluctance by media and business leaders to say openly that the world's wealthiest person is a Nazi.

Ukrainian intelligence confirms what many laypeople on BlueSky had already suspected: Russia is using satellites to help Iran target American bases in the Middle East. And Donald Trump will do *nothing* about this because he cares about Putin far more than he cares about American troops.
