                From yesterday. Warning: this isn't a movie stunt.

                This happened after a resident left an external battery charging in the bedroom.

                "While outside, the resident heard a sudden noise from inside their home. In a set of videos provided to the local fire department, home security on the main floor picked up signs of danger in the bedroom above. Red flashes of light flare and is joined by a sudden pop of sound. Four concerned dogs come sprinting downstairs, glancing back worryingly. Soon after, a small fireball rolls down the stairs, a flaming chunk of Meta Quest debris spooking these adorable pets further away."

                  This story about from Wired is brutal.

                  Apparently 6500 employees were “drafted” (i.e. given the choice to agree or quit) to form an AI training squad, and they were required to make software puzzles for their AI to solve, over and over again. It looks like the mind-numbing work was so brutal and meaningless that an employee hijacked an internal meeting to curse executives out in front of thousands of internal viewers.

                                EL PAÍS in English | Frances Haugen: ‘We are worse off today than when I leaked the Facebook documents’ by Manu González Pascual

                                AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

                                Frances Haugen, the former Facebook engineer who leaked 21,000 internal documents that revealed the platform’s harm to teens, says Meta may be “worse off today” than when the leak sparked a wave of lawsuits, class actions and state‑level suits after the 2021 Wall Street Journal exposé. While Meta initially bolstered safety teams, subsequent industry shifts—spurred by Elon Musk’s dismantling of moderation at X—have led to reduced accountability, and recent jury verdicts in New Mexico and Los Angeles found the company liable for child exploitation and addiction. Haugen now runs the NGO Beyond the Screen from Puerto Rico, urging stronger enforcement of the EU’s Digital Services Act and broader regulation of AI “digital friends,” which she warns can exacerbate self‑harm among minors. She predicts future legal battles over AI-driven harm, stresses the need for consensus across political lines to protect youth, and is hopeful that emerging platforms offering safer, anonymous spaces could give the next generation real choice over where to connect.

This is of course behind the back of the person who left. So if you think about it, there's no harm in everyone withdrawing, or being forced by top-down governmental policy not to go: Facebook can just automate a believable experience of a platform using AI, even though it's actually a ghost town full of AI "phantoms". Facebook covers their butts, and covers their reputation with a believable facade, so there are no losers (granted no fraud occurs, and of course there will be) considering that they have their interests protected.

Tech corporations are building more and more huge Al data centers, consuming lots of internet bandwidth, energy, water and other valuable resources, increasing scarcity, prices and emissions, degrading the already fragile environment.
