Holy fuck! On 27th of July 2026, BMW put a FULL SCREEN ad on all their cars at startup time for Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026). Not loan cars or demo, on cars people had already purchased and fully paid for. https://consumerrights.wiki/w/BMW_Spider-Man_in-car_advertising

Meta Muse AI reportedly read Mac Messages without consent

In a completely unsurprising turn of events, Meta's Muse AI is stealing Apple Messages, past and present, and uploading the contents to its cloud, even if explicitly told not to.

For a few years FB has had single-click bday wishes so you can fake giving a shit about others on their birthday.

Now FB has AI generated responses to posts that you can do with a single click.

Soon there’ll be AI generated replies to these.

Soon you won’t need to post on or even visit FB at all!

Or wants real person opinions not SEO'd / paid reviewer opinions / (these days) genAI generated opinions. Or "go to your local professional". The person probably wants some level of info ao they don't sound too ignorant when they do that.

It always intrigues me when someone departs a bus, where the only reason the driver stopped was because people at the stop flagged it down. Nobody on board pressed the next stop button. What would they have done if nobody at the stop flagged the bus down?

For years people have defended Hanson saying calling her racist is just stereotyping and lazy. Then her press club talk was exactly fitting of the lazy stereotype. Now saying abolishing White Australia Policy was a mistake. Don't ever try to tell me again she's not racist. #AusPol https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/jul/17/afternoon-update-friday-ntwnfb

Worst is burger & pizza places that use stock images. Can tell so much from looking at their food if it’s what you want or not. Stock may as well be no image at all.
