Matthew Prince Wants AI Companies to Pay for Their Sins

wired.com Katie Drummond 2025-09-27 21:00:00

My evidence that we're onto something is we've seen a handful of content deals, and the company that has gotten the best deal by far is Reddit. We know from their public filings that last year they got close to $140 million a year from Google and OpenAI. Hmm. If you compare that with a similar deal that was done for The New York Times, they got about $20 million. So Reddit got seven times more than The New York Times. Why? Well, maybe it's crazy … I think I know where you're going, and I'm go

AI Not Affecting Job Market Much So Far, New York Fed Says

news.ycombinator.com Sept. 2025-10-14 11:47:45

By Michael S. Derby NEW YORK (Reuters) -Rising adoption of artificial intelligence technology by firms in the Federal Reserve's New York district has not been much of a job-killer so far, the regional Fed bank said in a blog on Thursday. "Businesses reported a notable increase in AI use over the past year, yet very few firms reported AI-induced layoffs," New York Fed economists wrote in the blog. "Indeed, for those already employed, our results indicate AI is more likely to result in retrainin

New York Takes Zelle to Court Over Alleged Fraud on the Platform, Claims $1 Billion Lost

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-11-21 03:10:23

Arguably, the entire selling point of Zelle as a platform is that it is owned by big banks that ostensibly are invested in making sure that your money is safe. Turns out security was not the priority that you might imagine, according to New York Attorney General Letitia James. In a lawsuit against the money transfer, the top prosecutor for New York State claims that customers have lost more than $1 billion to fraud on Zelle, which was enabled by a lack of sufficient protections.

More than a decade after Hurricane Sandy flooded the East Coast and killed over 200 people, a new study has revealed the storm’s lasting impact on mortality risk among older adults.
