Developer Dan Horwitz told Gizmodo his anti-Grammarly is indeed satire. But it’s also still a functional Chrome extension that promises to banish the emdash, erase annoying phrases that are dead giveaways of AI, and even introduce some typos. But maybe you should just write that email yourself to begin with.

The criminal inquiry into Federal Reserve Chair Powell is widely perceived as retaliatory. The DOJ’s decision to end the investigation is also potentially politically motivated, as Senator Thom Tillis was blocking a vote on Trump’s choice to succeed Powell, Kevin Warsh, unless it was dropped.
Organizing playlists into folders was introduced in 2010, but only available on the desktop app. Now it’s reportedly rolling out to mobile users. Tap the + icon in your library, and you should see a new “folder” option. You can even play an entire folder of playlists, or shuffle them.
Launch, Ascent, and Vehicle Aerodynamics (LAVA) is the tool NASA uses to model reentry, aerodynamics, and fluid dynamics for Mars landers and the SLS (Space Launch System) that launched Artemis II. And now it’s available for researchers and commercial aerospace companies, even those without a supercomputer:
Aerospace engineers rely on “scale-resolving simulations” to capture high-fidelity renderings of phenomena that can have profound effects on missions, including pressure waves, turbulent swirls, and acoustic signatures. Those were once resource- and time-consuming. Now, LAVA runs them on modest computing resources, making them readily available and easy to produce, even for novice users.
The hosting platform provided a new update on the recent compromise. It named Context.AI as the vector for the attack, found more customer data that had been stolen, and said it discovered that some accounts had been broken into during an earlier incident.
First, we have identified a small number of additional accounts that were compromised as part of this incident. Second, we have uncovered a small number of customer accounts with evidence of prior compromise that is independent of and predates this incident, potentially as a result of social engineering, malware, or other methods.
The original from 2006 stands out like a sore thumb, but after that, it’s just flattening and tweaks to the font. To celebrate its anniversary, the service is taking a victory lap and talking design. It’s also shared all-time most-streamed lists. No surprises there — it’s Taylor Swift and Joe Rogan.
After announcing in September it was working with industry group DDEX on a standard for disclosing when AI is used in a song, AI credits are launching with DistroKid as the first partner. Unfortunately, even if the rest of the industry gets on board, voluntary labels likely won’t be enough as AI uploads threaten to overtake humans.
Sources told Axios that the agency was among the roughly 40 organizations granted access. This, despite the Pentagon arguing that Anthropic is a threat to national security. The NSA has reportedly been using it primarily to identify vulnerabilities in its own network, but considering its track record, it’s understandable if you’re wary.
