tomshardware.comAmazon is Regretting AI
Amazon's AI strategy is backfiring, with AI becoming the objective rather than a tool. When AI tools lack oversight, they can lead to significant mistakes. Is this the beginning of the bubble bursting?
FYI: Changes to Animal Care and Control Bylaw come into effect May 19
On May 19, the City of Edmonton will be implementing its new Animal Care and Control Bylaw 21244.
What is Changing?
- Public Safety: The new Animal Care and Control Bylaw introduces heightened restrictions for owners of vicious dogs. This includes required signage to alert visitors that a vicious dog is present, higher fines (including doubled fines for repeat convictions) and mandatory behaviour training. Any dog involved in an attack will be subject to a scaled system of fines.
- Animal Welfare: Increased focus will be put on animal welfare. Bylaw 21244 aims to protect animals from harm and life-threatening situations, including pets left in vehicles in extreme weather or pets left in a yard without access to shelter. Leaving animals unattended in potentially life-threatening situations could result in a fine. A new addition to the bylaw is also the requirement to ensure that when travelling with your animal, it is secured inside the vehicle. If an animal is not secured in the bed of a pickup truck or a flatbed, the owner could be fined.
- Accessibility to Services: Seniors and residents who receive income support will have access to discounted licensing fees for any additional pet(s) in their household. Not-for-profit animal rescue organizations have the opportunity to apply for excess animal permits to allow for more animals to receive care in foster homes. These animals will require a licence, but the licence fee will be waived
- Licensing and Urban Farming: With growing interest in urban agriculture, the bylaw expands on the Urban Livestock section, providing clear regulations and licensing expectations for backyard hens, bees and rabbits. It also introduces a limitation on the number of rabbits for 1 household to 4, as well as requirements for outdoor enclosures.

politico.comDon’t let AI steal our culture.
I HATE HATE HATE when people anthropomorphize AI, it doesn't have feeling, it is incapable of having "interests," it's a SLOP machine.
>These workers are training AI to take their own jobs.
>There’s a hidden workforce powering the rise of ChatGPT, and nearly 1 in 5 of them have fallen into homelessness.
>We investigated America’s AI sweatshops, and found a new gig economy run by Big Tech.
(Battlepass) Completed all weekly challenges, 6 levels left in last path, am I cooked?
All my challenges are done, still got 6 more BP levels to go to get the last 200 coins. I played for an hour last night, experimenting different modes, only got 0.6 of a level (6 BP points).
The math ain't mathing y'all, am I cooked?
I heard casual breaktrhough gets BP points the fastest, any other tips?
Maybe there'll be a 2xp for BP weekend tonight?
>What's the deal with Gen Z vs Millennials? As a Zillennial, I've spent my whole life being too cringe for Zoomers and too ironic for Millennials. So I did what any reasonable person would do: made yet another unnecessary video essay about it. This is a deep dive into why these two generations annoy each other, through the lens of the modern age and cultural apocalypse of 2012.
>Finding an ultra low profile cooler in the sub-50mm category isn't easy but in this buying guide and roundup, we take a look at 9 different models from companies like Noctua, Scythe, Thermalright, ID Cooling and more to see which is the best low profile cooler in 2026. The answer might come as a surprise.
>The backlash against workplace AI is no longer theoretical.
Gen Z workers are not simply resisting a new tool — they are pushing back against a corporate power structure being built through automation.
>New survey data suggests many Gen Z workers are actively undermining company AI strategies rather than quietly adopting them.
Excitement and hope around AI are falling, even among daily users who understand the tools firsthand.
Executives admit many AI strategies are performative, disappointing, or failing to produce measurable productivity gains.
Workers cite job insecurity, poor implementation, and weak leadership as reasons for resisting mandated AI adoption.
Unapproved chatbot use is creating serious security risks as employees enter proprietary data into public systems.
Universities are facing the same crisis, with students warning that AI is degrading learning rather than improving it.
The deeper conflict is not technology versus people — it is workers recognizing when innovation becomes surveillance, control, and replacement.
>This is not a generation afraid of technology.
It is a generation that grew up inside algorithmic systems and learned to recognize when “empowerment” is really a transfer of power upward.
>New gas projects linked to just 11 data center campuses around the US have the potential to create more greenhouse gases than the country of Morocco emitted in 2024. Emissions estimates from air permit documents examined by WIRED show that these natural gas projects—which are being built to power data centers to serve some of the US’s most powerful AI companies, including OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI—have the potential to emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year.
