A small text panel says “and the”. There is an arrow pointing to the bottom of the words with a correction box that reads: “Text is slightly misaligned. Please fix”

Panel 2 is titled “Client feedback (2026)
Red Guy is slouched on chair typing into his phone. His phone screen shows a panel of text that is complete gibberish. This time the correction reads “not alphabet but who give a fuck”

Mystery Solved! Turns out it is "Webinar.tv" whose disgusting and unethical business model is: register for a zoom call under a fake name and email address, record it without consent and put it on a public website with genAI summary and everyone's names and faces and then charge for access. WTAF.

Help us report: How are journalists in Ireland using AI these days? We're curious what you're using it for, and what you think about that.

Will you help us report by filling out a short survey? If you're a journalist working in Ireland, we're curious what you're using AI for (if anything), and what you think about that.

I was in Kaldero last week and was pleased with the vegetarian options they had. Only a few dishes but they were all delicious.

I run into more of this kind of thing on Windows as well these days. I was helping a friend who just had to use a restore point to get his laptop going again and it took days for us to figure this out. On my work laptop the sound driver regularly crashes at random and needs a full restart.

It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice

For Earth Must Die, VValak was super easy to design. I knew what I wanted, he was sort of a pastiche, it was no issue. @2dforever.com conjured up some faces and some robes, and it was all locked in pretty quickly.

His sidekick Milky, however, was a CONSTANT MASSIVE PAIN.

Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.
