Why ads are coming to your favorite AI bots and you've only got yourself to blame

Bloomberg Intelligence Most consumers don't want to pay to chat with a chatbot, according to a recent poll by Bloomberg Intelligence. That means advertising -- rather than subscription-based services -- will be the route to monetizing large language models.

As Trump Comes for Your Social Media, It’s Time You Consider What’s Worth Sharing

Agents of the Trump administration are increasingly using social media posts to crack down on immigrants, tourists, and even some U.S. citizens.

Last year, a former quality manager at Boeing warned that the factory that made the 787 Dreamliner—one of the company’s newer models of airplane—was plagued by shoddy work practices and poor oversight.

Simulink (Matlab) Copilot
