#Tech giants are significantly increasing their #AIinvestments, with Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon collectively expecting to spend over $380 billion this year. While Amazon and Alphabet saw positive investor reactions, Microsoft and Meta faced challenges. Despite the #optimism surrounding #AI’s potential, #sceptics worry about the #sustainability of these high spending levels and the ability to realise AI’s promises. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/31/tech-ai-google-meta-amazon-microsoft-spend.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

why do we not habitually highlight the discrepancy bw right-wing assholes who question climate science and vaccine safety?

does she understand how her iphone works? is it friendly relay spirits in the sky how the fuck does she get off throwing shade on vaccine science if she's not terrified of being at 30,000 feet

this is the job of journalism surely

Perks to being Ciadish.co.uk ed: getting sneak previews of AMAZING books. Just read the outline for @swilua.bsky.social's #YA fiction debut. I am SO excited to read the book: #fairies + #fungi + #sceptics + #psychics. I'm thinking this is a title that will be VERY popular when it finds a #publisher.
