Police tried to predict crime just like Minority Report. The AI it used bombed badly
A software developed to predict crime had an accuracy of less than one percent. After putting a dent worth thousands of dollar in a police department’s account, the company that built it is now shutting down. Touché!
Musk's dollar-shitting car company is apparently a pretty darn racist place
As per a federal lawsuit, black employees were often referred to as “monkey,” “boy,” and “black b*tch.”
Iran thinks the AI will help Mullahs with issuing fatwas. Lord, save us all.
AI has a proven track record of acting like a racist, sexist, and murderous piece of techy shit. Let's hope an AI fatwa doesn't end up causing a nuclear war.
Alexa is getting a glow-up, fr fr, thanks to ChatGPT-like lewk
Amazon's not-so-smart smart assistant is finally moving out and getting ready to face the real world with generative AI capabilities. But it's new-found intuitiveness and ingenuity may cost you some bucks.
Apple now owns Godzilla, too!
Just in case you weren’t paying attention, Apple is the new video streaming behemoth on the block. Shows like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Prehistoric Planet, and Foundation (must watch!!!) are already the talk of the town and winning awards.
The company recently ordered a Lionel Messi film to its pipeline. This happened merely days after the football wizard signed up with an American club and started scoring goals like a machine, while the matches are streamed on Apple’s platform.
You can now add Godzilla to the list of Apple entertainment properties, too!

Google Search will spoon-feed you long articles as a short summary
Everyone in the tech industry has gone mad over AI. Google, the lord of our entire digital existence, is no exception. The latest from its lab is a new feature called “SGE while browsing,” which presents a short summarized version of a long, complex article. Here’s how Google describes it:
“On some web pages you visit, you can tap to see an AI-generated list of the key points an article covers, with links that will take you straight to what you’re looking for directly on the page. We’ll also help you dig deeper with “Explore on page,” where you can see questions the article answers and jump to the relevant section to learn more.”
Here’s the feature in action:
The feature is rolling out inside the Google app for Android and iOS. It will soon arrive on Chrome for desktop, too. However, it’s an experimental feature, and can be enabled after you sign up for the Google Labs. Unfortunately, Google Labs is currently limited to the US market, and there is no timeline for an international expansion.
