My iPhone just updated itself. I keep turning this off then get endless messages to update it and an irritating red circle on the screen. Now this has appeared. Since when is it law to prove your age to use your own phone???? Way beyond your remit now @GOVUK

🚨NEWS: UK iPhone users must now prove their age or lose full internet access "It is absolutely outrageous that, overnight, Apple has put a chokehold on Britons' freedom to search the internet, access information and use apps unless they provide sensitive ID documents. This means 35 million Brits who have paid hundreds or even thousands of pounds for Apple tech suddenly now have a child's device unless they comply with invasive demands for personal information that go far beyond what UK law requires. Apple has crossed the Rubicon with this software update which is more like ransomware, holding customers hostage to ID demands that are invasive, exclusionary and unnecessary. Children's online safety is vital but requires better parental controls and thoughtful tech responsibility - not sweeping, draconian, shock demands by foreign companies for all of our IDs and credit cards." - Silkie Carlo [@silkiecarlo]

Google has invested $1 million into an AI studio that creates videos for kids Animaj's channels had a reported 22 billion views last year

Microsoft's latest Copilot update opens any link you click inside the app in a built-in side panel powered by Edge, bypassing your default browser entirely, along with its extensions, passwords, and settings. Microsoft says it keeps conversations and web content together for better context, but users get no opt-out choice.

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced HODIO, an AI-driven tool to monitor and quantify hate speech on social media. This “tool” will allow the government to track the presence, amplification, and impact of hate speech online.

JUST IN: UK will remove Winston Churchill from banknotes, replacing him with "creatures like hedgehogs and badgers."

@reverienoo this happened

why do so many ppl use chapgpt??? like what happened to just googling things you don’t know

@leafumn yeah i'm done with slopgpt

If you don’t use chatgpt respond here I don’t use it, at all And I want to see if that in itself is uncommon now and its just me

@richxee95428 @Dexerto yeah most likely you won't get banned but the thing with twitch is that there ads are hard to block as they are built in streams

@theanalystC @Dexerto Is it safe from bans? I thought about getting an ad blocker but I was worried about getting banned so I paid the membership

Rapper Doja Cat was disappointed after finding out Twitch wouldn't let her turn off ads for her viewers She then decided to limit her ads to the bare minimum

@qualityslop @Dexerto of course not but they have quick response to youtubes blocking of adblockers workarounds

@theanalystC @Dexerto do you seriously think ad blocking extensions are exclusive to Brave?

@TheAIObserverX easiest decisson i've done

Holy cow! #QuitGPT updated stats: numbers are striking! #keep4o Just woooow 👀

Altman Reportedly Tells Staff OpenAI Wants Another Classified Contract. This Time with NATO

@papatou15 @Dexerto i searched this issue and you can make a custom filter to block twitch ads but not sure if it works

@theanalystC @Dexerto Doesnt work for twitch, at least not for me

🦔 Reports suggest Windows 12 will launch later this year as a modular, AI-focused OS. Microsoft's Copilot will be a core part of the system rather than optional. Some features may be locked behind a subscription model for "advanced AI services." The OS will also require a dedicated NPU (neural processing unit), which would lock out millions of PC owners whose hardware doesn't have one. Windows 10 support ends around the same time. My Take This is enshittification taken to its logical conclusion. An operating system you've been using for decades is now going to require a subscription for features, mandatory AI integration, and new hardware just to keep using it. Microsoft is betting that most people won't switch because switching is hard and they've spent years building dependencies on Windows. I wrote about this cycle a few weeks ago. A product starts out serving users, then starts extracting value from them once they're locked in. Microsoft has 1.4 billion Windows users. They're not worried about losing a few million to Linux because most people won't bother. The NPU requirement is particularly frustrating because it forces hardware upgrades for AI features a lot of people don't want in the first place. You're buying a new computer so Microsoft can run Copilot on it. Linux is better than it's ever been and switching is more viable than most people think, but Microsoft is counting on inertia winning and historically that bet has paid off. Hedgie🤗

xQc says GTA VI should cost $800 due to the amount of high-quality content it will provide "I know it will never cost $800, but in the current industry standards, with the amount of content you get and quality, it's an $800 product"

They just blocked ChatGPT from the computers given to us by the school and I’ve never seen so many people panic in a group chat before

An estimated 2,500,000 people have stopped using ChatGPT as the 'QuitGPT' movement has gained traction.
