Brutal numbers for US tech sector jobs released today—overall, employment decreased by 12k last month and is down 57k over the last year That's now nearly as bad as the worst of the 2024 tech-cession, and significantly worse than either the 2008 or 2020 recessions

In today's thrilling episode of "Hey, Look, JavaScript Is Disabled," we learn that the future of AI is apparently blocked by your browser settings. 😆✨ Meanwhile, X Corp. suggests you ditch your privacy for the sake of progress—because who needs security when you have AI breakthroughs to read about? 🔒🤖

🚨 Oh no! The geniuses at X Corp discovered that AI-generated replies are a *scourge* 😱, but instead of addressing that, they brilliantly suggest enabling #JavaScript. 🧠 Because clearly, the lack of JScript is the true villain here, not the spam-bot apocalypse. 👏

AI-generated replies really are the scourge of Twitter these days. Anyone know if it's from packaged solutions being sold as a product or if it's people mainly rolling their own custom reply-bots?

Paris prosecutors search Elon Musk's social media platform X offices

French prosecutors have raided the offices of social media platform X as part of a preliminary investigation into allegations that include spreading child sexual abuse images and deepfakes. They have also summoned owner Elon Musk for questioning. The investigation, which began in January last year, is looking into alleged complicity in possessing and spreading pornographic images of minors, among other charges. X and Musk's AI company xAI face scrutiny from Britain's data privacy regulator over their handling of personal data. The chatbot Grok, developed by xAI, sparked outrage after generating sexualized deepfake images. The investigation continues with support from Europol.
