Playboy just named its first openly gay editor-in-chief. He wants to change the brand's pornographic reputation amid a 'sex recession'

Microsoft schiet Anthropic te hulp in strijd met Pentagon over militair gebruik van AI

Als je ruzie hebt met een grote jongen, helpt het als een andere krachtpatser achter je gaat staan.
