Unverified users only need to worry if they’re making more than 50 original posts and 200 replies per day, compared to the previous limit of 2,400 daily posts. This move is presumably trying to tackle bot accounts, since 50 posts is far more than most people will use.
After launching for iPhone last year, Firefox users on Android can now shake their device on any webpage under 5,000 words to get an AI-generated summary of its contents. You can disable the feature entirely, or select “Summarize Page” under “More” in the three-dot menu if you prefer tapping.

The New York Times and Reuters report that a memo was sent to Meta employees on Monday reassigning 7,000 of them, and said that “As org leaders worked on the changes, many of them incorporated AI native design principles into their new org structures.”

The L4S technology that’s supposed to help keep your internet connection feeling faster, especially during things like online gaming or video conferencing, is coming to Spectrum internet customers. We’ve seen companies like Apple and Nvidia implement support, as well as Comcast and T-Mobile.
Charter Communications says the upgrade is already live in “the Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas; Reno, Nev.; Rochester, Minn.; and St. Louis, Mo. areas,” and rolling out nationwide at no additional cost.
Public opinion of the AI industry is already sinking. A parade of untrustworthy executives makes it look worse.
