Google’s AI Mushrooms Could Have ‘Devastating Consequences’
Google is serving AI-generated images of mushrooms when users search for some species, a risky and potentially fatal error for foragers who are trying to figure out what mushrooms are safe to eat.
I would trust a dusty old field guide from the 1800s before I trusted Google for foraging tips
WP Engine sends cease and desist to Automattic
The plot thickens 👀
Start auditing and controlling the AI models accessing your content
I don’t use Cloudflare anymore but I think this is pretty cool. They have a new thing where you can filter and block AI crawlers and even, somehow… charge them for the data you allow them to use?
Site owners will have the ability to set a price for their site, or sections of their site, and to then charge model providers based on their scans and the price you have set.
Half of it kinda sounds too good to be true and the other half just sounds like an ad for a new Cloudflare product but I’m intrigued 🤔
Caffeinated ramen in a squeeze tube…
Boost Noodle is a new kind of ramen for players who “want to eat easily with one hand while playing games,““not get their expensive and important gaming equipment dirty,” and “want to eat something closer to a meal rather than a jelly drink or beverage.”
We are living in the dumbest possible timeline. Or the smartest. I’m not sure anymore 🤷
A Bay Area boy was kidnapped from a park in 1951. He’s just been found alive.
Whoa. You always hear about cold cases like this but never ones where they actually find them
Researcher reveals ‘catastrophic’ security flaw in the Arc browser
Arc has a feature called Boosts that allows you to customize any website with custom CSS and Javascript.

This kinda stuff is why I stick with Safari and Firefox
Squid Game Season 2’s First Clip Brings Bullets, Fire, and Fresh Meat
Netflix has shared a tantalizingly brief look at what to expect when the smash hit series returns in December.
Don’t even care about the trailer tbh. Just stoked to hear it’s finally coming back in December!
Documentary about the largest cave system in the world, Son Doong in Vietnam. I’ve gotta find a way to watch this! There’s live showings at a few theaters but streaming is only in the UK right now
YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads
YouTube claims that the pause ads are actually designed to let the company offer you a “less interruptive” experience, but it didn’t tell us that its normal ads will appear any less frequently as a result.
I watch YouTube more than any other streaming service but it’s unusable if you don’t pay for Premium. Or have uBlock Origin. Premium is worth it to me though. I wanna support the creators in some way but definitely not through being spammed with ads every five minutes
The “Third State” That Lies Beyond The Boundaries Of Life And Death
“Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites,” Noble told IFLScience. “However, the emergence of new multicellular lifeforms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a ‘third state’ that lies beyond the conventional boundaries of life and death.”
There’s always a secret third option
