AI Firms Can Limit Military Surveillance of Americans. What About of Everyone Else? The framing around limiting the US military’s use of generative AI for domestic surveillance should unsettle the rest of the world, writes Kristina Irion.

The framing around limiting the US military’s use of generative AI for domestic surveillance should unsettle the rest of the world, writes Kristina Irion. Countries seem woefully unprepared to respond to AI-enabled mass surveillance by another state.

AI companies have shipped products linked to suicides for years. Now a lawyer says they appear in mass casualty cases: the safeguards were never the priority, the growth metrics were.

Scale first. Bury the bodies later.

About Time For A Disclosure The background of a TIME magazine journalist may put their latest cover story into question.

Breaker reports Time did not disclose that a coauthor of its cover story on Anthropic was a Tarbell fellow, funded by effective altruism AI cultists. I've been cautioning young people tempted by its journalism fellowship to research the funders. #TESCREAL

Sigh.

Bernie has gone full on "super intelligent AI could become smarter than human beings" and "pose an "existential threat to the entire human race."

Literal quote from him. Dude was supposed to be the guy against Silicon Vally CEOs not the one who parrots their propaganda.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI β€˜Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academicsβ€”without their consent.

The complaint comes as Superhuman has already decided to discontinue the feature amid significant public backlash.

YES!

Go get them and have them admit their unethical behavior, issue apologies and compensate everyone!

If you still think what Grammerly is doing is β€œenshittification β€œ and recent but not committed to the long history of slavery, women’s ghost writing , colonialism and anti DEI

that’s why they did it

And will continue to until they learn

UP Women’s Volleyball Team fell to 3-3, tied with UST and AdU, after losing 3-1 to UST. Surely, they miss the services of Dongallo. UPWVT needs to adjust quickly before facing AdU next. #UPFIGHT #UAAPSeason88 #UAAP

AI-powered apps struggle with long-term retention, new report shows | TechCrunch AI can drive stronger early monetization for apps, but sustaining value remains the challenge, RevenueCat's latest report finds.

"AI integration is not a guarantee of long-term retention. Instead, AI-powered apps struggle to retain subscribers, with people canceling their annual subscriptions β€” a metric known as churn β€” 30% faster than non-AI apps, at the median, according to the report." techcrunch.com/2026/03/10/a...

Tumblr: gutted. Bandcamp: gutted. Flickr: gutted. Goodreads: abandoned to rot. Every community platform that actually worked got acquired, optimized for extraction, and left for dead. VC doesn't fund good things. It strip-mines them.

Tech bros are lying to you about the MacBook Neo Apple’s new MacBook Neo has generated a torrent of opinions, and many aren’t based on facts.

Sound off in the comments if you're as angry as us at the MacBook Neo lies spreading on social media.
