For his AI Killed My Job series, @brianmerchant spoke with some of them about ridiculous costume designs, whether comics might be at least temporarily immune to the technology, and cleaning up the messes of AI.

If you’re thinking of downloading images from the internet to use for your desktop background, think again. Artificial-intelligence agents — touted as AI's next wave — could be vulnerable to malicious code hidden in innocent-looking images on your computer screen. @LiveScience has more:
Vibe coding can be “a beautiful, endless cocktail napkin on which one can perpetually sketch ideas.” But dealing with AI-generated code? “Worse than babysitting.” @Techcrunch gets into it:
Hurray! 🥳

Social media users have turned to chatbots for updates on the murder of U.S. right-wing activist Charlie Kirk — and have found contradictory and inaccurate responses. A day after 31-year-old Kirk's death, the X account of Perplexity said that he was still alive. The X account of Grok said that the widely circulated video of Kirk being shot was a "meme edit" with effects added "for comedic effect." Grok also claimed that a Toronto-based man was the shooter.
