This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

The Soviet Winnie-the-Pooh is a wonderful thing. And its version of Pooh himself is one of the great animated characters. The artists didn't take from Disney's version. They aimed for an "absolutely new bear" -- and they pulled it off. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-absolu...

May 18, 1980 | 8:32 a.m. The ground shudders. A M5.1 quake hits beneath Mount St. Helens. Weakened critically, the north face bulge collapses outward. Within seconds, a pyroclastic density surge bursts through the disintegrating slope. The clock strikes zero.

A 24-team CFP is the AI of college football: We didn't ask for it, and we're told it's inevitable despite massive unknowns. I wrote about the impact of expansion and ditching conference title games. We don't have to do this! Four rounds and Flex Weeks: the way forward. www.espn.com/college-foot...

My latest. "No amount of explanations about how the Met Gala is for charity and costumes can erase the ennui of it all, and a dark fact: our current crop of tech titans wants to design a frictionless world that will be tasteless, odorless, and soulless." open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...
