rave reviews from a Facebook reader

Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez framed their brief space tourism flight on a centibillionaire's rocket as path-paving feminism. (It wasn't.) Neither woman mentioned the ongoing attacks on — and literal erasure of — women and minorities across the American space sciences. futurism.com/katy-perry-r...

I once saw a guy get fired at a pizza place I worked at for giving a customer 8 breadsticks instead of 6, and it actually fucked up his life pretty badly. And yet these guys can just light enormous piles of money on fire and they’re still the most powerful and influential people on the planet 🥴

Lousiana is using an algorithm to deny inmates parole, a horrifying reminder that the purpose of a system is what it does

Not to worry, this will all be addressed during the upcoming congressional hearing on Islamophobia

Man Who Bumped Tesla While Parallel Parking Sentenced To Death

In this News Brief, "Dem Leaders, Free Speech Warriors Mostly Shrug as Trump Disappears Dissidents," we detail political and media responses to Trump deporting Gaza protestors––ranging from support to indifference to hilariously qualified, tepid opposition

Thinking about these guys

Poetic that a crashing memestock would ring the bell to open one of the darkest days in American financial history

Wow the exact thing genAI creators intended, for their users to become psychologically dependent and chemically addicted to their product, is happening, who could have seen this coming futurism.com/the-byte/cha...

"You’re going to kill somebody" is a wild quote to highlight given US airstrikes killed 79 people in Yemen over the last week

Absolutely brutal coverage on CNBC about CoreWeave. This is a negative shift against the AI bubble. The words "red flag" used multiple times, suggesting their accounting is questionable. "...is this the straw that breaks...something" youtu.be/4tYDennhEgo?...

The funny thing about the 23andMe bankruptcy is it was always going to happen. Business model has zero repeat customers. Anyone interested buys once and never deals with you again. “Hey wonder if my DNA changed from last year” So if you did it, your shit was always gonna get sold eventually

Check out this insane story about the lengths one Uber driver had to go to get his account reactivated:

What happens when #BigTech decides you’re disposable? An algorithm determines if you can work & chatbots make appealing hard. It seems like a distant tech dystopia, but Uber drivers live it. Our new report reveals how Uber uses #AI to fire drivers & evade responsibility. bit.ly/4iBAsoX

excited to announce a short film I wrote, edited, produced and composed the soundtrack for is world premiering at the Oscar-qualifying Florida Film Festival in April. It's about a Chinese guy who changes his name to Roberto Ferrari For more updates u can check out: www.instagram.com/yumejihousep...

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry. If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

NEW: I spoke with Megan Garcia, the mother of the teen who died by suicide after using the chatbot site CharacterAI, about her lawsuit against CAI, its founders, and Google. "I want [parents] to understand," she told me, "what their kids have given up." futurism.com/character-ai...

Today, we released new research on the impact of Uber’s AI terminations on rideshare drivers & how drivers are fighting back. Futurism got the exclusive.

In a new exclusive, I spoke with Uber drivers who found themselves cut off from their livelihoods due to vague violations, forced to navigate an endless loop of AI chatbots and call centers in what labor researchers are calling a 'deactivation crisis'. futurism.com/uber-ridesha...

cwa, which represents over 2,000 workers across companies like microsoft, is launching a new games industry-wide union that anyone can join, even laid-off workers. with legal frameworks for organizing under attack, it's a return to tactics that predate those systems aftermath.site/uvw-cwa-vide...

For @futurism.com, I talked to the inventors of a Tamagotchi-like digital pet that dies if its owner stops vaping: futurism.com/neoscope/vap...

things seem dire but at least Radiohead hasn't suggested upcoming activity by forming a new legal entity

I wrote about a major moderation change that Reddit announced last week, its immediate effect on the site's already-suppressed discussions around Luigi Mangione, and the backstory that involves Elon Musk, anti-Palestinian conspiracies, and right-wing tech media: slate.com/technology/2...
