Top Story
- Anthropic has pledged to give 5% of its shared to a public benefit fund. (CNBC)
By which they mean trying to buy off the communists, who hate them and want them dead.
- Elon Musk meanwhile plans to give a share in SpaceX to every child in America. (CNN)
Some of whom aren't communists or at least could grow out of it.
Tech News
- People are using AI to dumb their smart TVs. (Tech Crunch)
Good.
- Amazon is funding the development of twelve small nuclear reactors at a decommissioned coal-fired power plan in Indiana. (Tech Crunch)
Also good.
- Hackers breached something to do with Microsoft 365 via an old third-party backup service. (Bleeping Computer)
Not directly Microsoft's fault so far as I can tell.
- But maybe you should use an open-source alternative like Nextcloud instead. Oh. (Bleeping Computer)
Maybe not.
Anime Roundup
Red River: You got 90s isekai in my fall 2026 season! Again, literally. Like From Far Away this is not just a throwback to that art style, but an actual 90s manga previously unadapted. In this case the other world is not a fantasy land of sorcery and strange gods... Uh, mostly... Sometimes... But the Hittite Empire of the 14th century BC. I do like how the empire is depicted as not particularly impressive to the modern eye when viewed up close.

"If these "dumb TV” hacks become more popular among everyday consumers, they have the potential to disrupt the smart TV ad industry, which profits from selling viewing data to advertisers or using it to display personalized ads on their own interfaces."
Oh no, it would just be horrible if people adblocked smart TVs.
