Top Story
- A tech-worked backed PAC is spending $5 million to fight a multi-trillion dollar industry. (Tech Crunch)
Or blatantly stealing the money while serving the goals of communists foreign and domestic. One of those.
- Speaking of which did my old job only exist because of fraud? (It's not about code)
Always awkward to realise this is a possibility. Something of a comfort to realise that the answer is... Probably not.
Tech News
- Sony's Xperia 1 VIII is a pretty good phone. (The Verge)
One would hope so for $1850.
It does have a headphone jack and a microSD slot, but so does my Motorola phone which cost a tenth of that.
- Viewsonic has a 24" 4k monitor. (Notebook Check)
With a 160Hz refresh rate and coverage of 95% of DCI-P3, but the main selling point is its size. 24" 4k models are rarer than you might think.
- TikTok shows three times more AI slop than YouTube. (Search Engine Journal)
Yay.
- Polymarket ads are ads. (MSN)
In that nothing they present is real.
This has got to break at least a dozen laws.

AI slop news site reports AI slop videos. Now we just need AI to read and watch all those things.

Perfect: let AI close the loop and then we can ignore all this crap.

"A grassroots movement is forming among everyday tech workers"
"Democratic operatives Shaunna Thomas and Leah Hunt-Hendrix launched the Guardrails Alliance on Thursday with backing from tech employees, labor unions, and other groups"
Ah, yes, classic "grassroots" merging Democrats, labour unions, and "other groups" (like World Can't Wait, and Open Society). Quite the innovative development in grassroots organizing.
