Fair warning: this MIT Tech Review history / explainer on all things AI is humungous and complicated. But in the vein of Bloomberg’s great “What Is Code?” and “The Crypto Story,” this is as good an all-things-AI opus as I’ve seen yet. Bookmark it, read it, take notes.

Watching the intro to today’s Galaxy Unpacked event, I’m reminded of this great David Imel video answering the most important question of our time: why did everyone decide that the official logo of AI is ***sparkles***?
Ticketmaster does some pretty wild (and user-hostile) stuff in the name of stopping scalpers and bots from getting all the good tickets. And the scalpers and bots seem to always have another move. Case in point: those rotating barcodes on your ticket.
If you’ve bought a ticket, this token can be extracted from within the Ticketmaster app (or, in some cases, from Ticketmaster’s desktop website), exported to a third-party platform, and tickets can then be generated on that third-party platform.
