According to The Information, Meta is considering using its competitors' models to improve its own apps' AI features. The report said that leaders at the Meta Superintelligence Lab have looked at integrating Google Gemini into its Meta AI chatbot to help it provide a conversational, text-based solution to its users' search questions.

The Default Trap: Why Anthropic's Data Policy Change Matters

Read the terms of service. Don’t make assumptions. Don’t pick defaults. Yesterday, Anthropic quietly flipped a switch. If you're a Claude user, your conversations are now training data unless you actively say no. Not when you give feedback. Not when you explicitly consent. By default, from day one. Here's what changed: Previously, Claude didn't train on consumer chat data without your explicit thumbs up or down. Clean, simple, respectful. Now? Everything you type becomes model training fodder

What Tech Jobs Don’t Drug Test? That Might Depend

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-25 14:20:51

Workers who live in states where cannabis is legal often face a conundrum. Can they continue using a substance deemed by lawmakers to be fit for public consumption, even if they may have an employer who might drug test? Or do they avoid it all together, because they don’t know what their employer’s drug policy is? And does that policy include only “hard” drugs like cocaine, opioids or methamphetamines, or does it test for cannabis too? These days, the answer is a lot more flexible than it was

Antarctica Is Changing Rapidly. The Consequences Could Be Dire

Seen from space, Antarctica looks so much simpler than the other continents—a great sheet of ice set in contrast to the dark waters of the encircling Southern Ocean.
