50% of Consumers Prefer Brands That Avoid GenAI Content

Slashdot reader BrianFagioli writes: According to the research firm Gartner, 50% of U.S. consumers say they would prefer to do business with brands that avoid using GenAI in consumer facing content such as advertising and promotional messaging.

The survey of 1,539 Americans, conducted in October 2025, also found growing skepticism about the reliability of online information, with 61% saying they frequently question whether information they use for everyday decisions is trustworthy... Gartner found that 68%

Nobody teaches you that class isn’t about income. It’s about which mistakes are survivable. A rich kid’s DUI becomes a learning experience. A poor kid’s missed rent payment becomes a credit score that follows them for seven years. Same species, different physics.

Class isn't defined by how much you earn — it's defined by what happens when you stumble. The same mistake that becomes a growth story for one person becomes a seven-year penalty for another, and the difference is structural, not moral. Read more

I’m 37 and I’ve spent my entire adult life being told I’m ‘too sensitive’ or ‘reading into things’ — but the truth is I notice when people’s tone shifts, when they avoid eye contact, when their kindness feels performative, and I’m exhausted from pretending I don’t see what I see

The first time someone told me I was “too sensitive,” I was maybe twelve. I’d pointed out that a family friend seemed upset at dinner even though she was smiling. My mum told me I was reading into things. The family friend called two weeks later to say she’d been going through a divorce. That ... Read more Read more

Quote by Robin Williams: “I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone”

There was a stretch in my life where I’d come home every evening, sit across from someone I was supposed to be closest to, and feel completely invisible. We’d talk. We’d eat dinner together. We’d go through the motions of a shared life. But something fundamental was missing. And the strangest part? I couldn’t even ... Read more Read more

System76 CEO Sees 'Real Possibility' Colorado's Age-Verification Bill Excludes Open-Source

Phoronix reports that the System76 CEO met with the state Senator who co-authored Colorado's bill, and then posted on X.com that the Senator "suggested excluding open source software from the bill."

America's First Large-Scale Offshore Wind Project Finally Finishes Construction

It's America's first large-scale offshore wind project, reports WBUR — enough clean energy to power 400,000 homes in Massachusetts from 62 offshore wind turbines generating 800 megawatts. But it took a while... The plant's first construction delay happened back in 2019, they point out — and then "Just three months ago, when the project was 95% complete, the U.S. Interior Department issued a stop-work order."
