Meet the "journalist" who "uploads press releases or analyst notes into AI tools and prompts them to spit out articles that he can edit and publish quickly," according to the Wall Street Journal.
"AI-assisted stories accounted for nearly 20% of Fortune's web traffic in the second half of 2025." And most were written by 42-year-old Nick Lichtenberg, who has now written over 600 AI-assisted stories, producing "more stories in six months than any of his colleagues at Fortune delivered in a year."

I’ve always been suspicious of the idea that smart people make better decisions. Not because I think intelligence is useless, but because I’ve spent enough time around very intelligent people to notice something uncomfortable: they don’t make fewer bad decisions. They just make bad decisions that sound more convincing. I first noticed this pattern in ... Read more Read more ›

Hundreds of theatres are now showing a new documentary called The AI Doc: Or How I Became An Apocaloptimist. Variety calls it "playful and heady,"edited "with a spirit of ADHD alertness." The New York Times suggests it "tries to cover so much that it ends up being more confusing than clarifying, but parts are fascinating."

Сходил на выставку «Фотоника» (31.03–02.04.2026), взял каталог оборудования Т8 — посмотреть, до чего современная технология доросла. Ради интереса выбрал модель агрегатора и попробовал рассчитать трассу. А потом вспомнил свой опыт строительства и эксплуатации магистральной сети. Правильный расчет — еще не всё. Для конкретной трассы нужно учитывать внешние факторы: логистику, климат, вандализм, доступ к опорам, затраты на эксплуатацию. Не каждый расчет, верный на бумаге, годится для реальной линии в труднодо Read more ›

There were no new major launches in the US, so we will focus on the recently released Galaxy S26 series. Meanwhile, the previous generation Pixel phones have resurfaced. The S26 flagships are in an intermediary period – they are too new for straight discounts, but it has been a month since they arrived, so they need a sweetener – the top dog, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, is paired with...

Широкое внедрение технологий искусственного интеллекта (ИИ) обещает коренным образом преобразовать практически все розничные процессы — от бэк-офисных операций до взаимодействия с клиентами и даже самого подхода потребителей к совершению покупок. McKinsey прогнозирует, что один только генеративный ИИ может принести розничным продавцам от 240 до 390 миллиардов долларов добавленной стоимости. «В сочетании с ценностью негенеративного ИИ и аналитики это может превратить миллиарды долларов в триллионы», — говори Read more ›

28 марта состоялась, с одной стороны, довольно камерная встреча небольшого круга специалистов: Backend-разработчиков Java. Разумеется, на встрече были и фронтэнд-специалисты, и фулстек-программисты, но когда залу задавали вопросы, кто есть кто – максимальное и максимально доминирующее количество рук было именно от специалистов бекенда.Как это было. Я пришел на час позже, не в 12 обеда, но в час дня. Сразу попал в зал на лекцию, где рассказывались не суперсложные вопросы, но затрагивались... Read more ›

"It's time to charge for access," argues a new opinion piece at The Register. Begging billion-dollar companies to fund open source projects just isn't enough, writes long-time tech reporter Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: Screw fair. Screw asking for dimes. You can't live off one-off charity donations... Depending on what people put in a tip jar is no way to fund anything of value...

Yes, this week YouTube and Meta were found negligent in a landmark case about social media addiction. But "it's still far from certain what this defeat will change," argues The Verge's senior tech and policy editor, "and what the collateral damage could be." If these decisions survive appeal — which isn't certain — the direct outcome would be multimillion-dollar penalties. Depending on the outcome of several more "bellwether" cases in... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the BBC: Sweeping job cuts at Big Tech companies have become an annual tradition. How executives explain those decisions, however, has changed. Out are buzzwords like efficiency, over-hiring, and too many management layers. Today, all explanations stem from artificial intelligence (AI). In recent weeks, giants including Google, Amazon, Meta, as well as smaller firms such as Pinterest and Atlassian, have all announced or... Read more ›
