This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets.

I try to be empathetic and understanding about how challenging it is to accurately report on AI stuff in 2026 but whoever wrote this headline is small-child-level credulous in the old fashioned way

Pleased for wii.i.am that he's still getting tech brand deals to be associated with. I remember going to a gig he did for Motorola Razr and then a year or so later a Blackberry event.

I’m sick of the silence on this issue and I won’t be quiet: pain au choclats are getting smaller and it’s an outrage

😈 yes.

In fact, there is a beach scene in it which includes a brief run in with Anthony Albanese
The one book I really need to get stuck onto from my "to read" pile is Conspiracy Nation by @arielbogle.bsky.social and @cameronwilson.bsky.social .

A good beach side read I hear?

something funny i noticed: I have a burner X (nee Twitter) account for testing and it's been prompted to verify its age. I've ignored the prompt and ... it's just lets me keep using the platform with no restrictions.

Non-exhaustive list of family holiday tasks for “young” (relative to everyone else) male relatives:
- carrying groceries from the car
- opening jars
- setting up tech-related gifts
- getting something from the outside fridge
- retrieving object from high shelf
- torrenting 90s film to watch

My favourite source of tech news (and critique), with a guest familiar to many of us here in so-called "Australia"!

Our home-grown social media ban on the chopping block today.

@parismarx.com , @cameronwilson.bsky.social looking forward to this one!

The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

Last report of the year (maybe) on the teen social media ban
The first look at how the teen social media ban is working has been delayed
Following the Bondi terrorist attack, the government has pushed back reporting on the number of TikTok, Instagram and other social media accounts were deactivated on day 1 of the ban.

A last minute stocking stuffer from me: the first look at how the teen social media ban has been delayed in the aftermath of the Bondi terrorist attack.

Meanwhile, signals about interest in the ban (and in ways to circumvent it) suggest that people have moved on. thesizzle.com.au/p/t...
