The company behind Snapchat is laying off 1,000 workers (16% of its workforce) citing rapid advancements in AI which will save the company $500M per year.  —  Jack Dorsey's layoffs at Block were a new triggering event for tech layoffs similar to Elon's at Twitter in 2022.

Snap CEO Evan Spiegel says the company plans to lay off ~1,000 full-time employees, or 16% of its global workforce, to cut costs and achieve profitability

Imagine being one of those CEOs who laid off thousands over “AI efficiency” only for the AI to get dumber than a pile of bricks weeks later.  —  Given how tokens work, you're paying more for a worse product.  It now takes 5 minutes to be wrong which took 30 seconds for a right answer a few weeks ago.

Global smartphone shipments were down -4.1% in Q1 2026 due to AI data centers driving up demand and thus prices of memory chips.  —  This mainly affected cheaper phones leading to Apple and Samsung who make premium devices to be the 2 of top 5 smartphone OEMs who've seen sales growth this year.

Global smartphone shipments fell 4.1% YoY in Q1, the first drop since mid 2023, amid memory constraints; only Samsung and Apple grew shipments, at 3.6% and 3.3%

Limited memory supply and record high memory prices increase pressure on smartphone OEMs to reduce shipments and increase prices that dampen demand.

The idea that data centers are now politically toxic is so wild to me.

Voters in Festus, Missouri, last week ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection, just days after the council approved a $6B data center

The rout of half the Festus City Council was fueled by a surge in voter turnout and widespread frustration with the data center approval process.

The problem with OpenAI saying the solution to AI taking all the jobs is to raise taxes on corporations and the rich to pay for benefits for the unemployed is that they literally spent millions of dollars getting Trump elected to do the exact opposite.

OpenAI's new economic agenda is oddly socialist, wildly hypocritical, and largely undermined by OpenAI's support for Republicans who attack welfare programs

The AI company released a set of highly progressive policy ideas.  There's just one small problem.

The EFF is finally leaving X. It looks like I'm a trailblazer because I did this way back in 2024 and deleted my account.

EFF says it is leaving X, as “X is no longer where the fight is happening” and an X post now gets less than 3% of the views a tweet got seven years ago

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn't a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue.

From a survey of 1,572 people aged 14-29:  —  • Hopefulness regarding AI has dropped from 27% to 18% over the past year, while excitement fell from 36% to 22%.  —  • Anger toward AI increased from 22% to 31%, while anxiety remains flat affecting 42% of Gen Z.  —  I don't blame them, it's a bleak world.

OpenAI announces a Safety Fellowship program for external researchers, engineers, and practitioners to study the safety and alignment of advanced AI systems

A pilot program to support independent safety and alignment research and develop the next generation of talent

Nate Silver pens an essay about how social media is dead as a way to build an audience because Twitter is now a right wing cesspool where Catturd gets more engagement than the New York Times.  —  Weird that it never occurs to him that Twitter is the problem and there's more to social media l. 🤷🏾‍♂️

How social media became a “freak show”: X punishes external links and most top accounts, such as Catturd, are low-quality but get more engagement than the NYT

The ecosystem is unhealthy, especially on Twitter, and that's producing some strange beasts among the most influential accounts.

That the premise of this article is “we interviewed 100+ people to determine if Sam Altman is a liar and a sociopath” is wild.  —  The animation of the image in the article is also quite unsettling.
