Maybe! We've touched on that a little on the podcast, but not for a while.

It's a personal work that includes conversations with researchers, reporters, and people who feel they are experiencing real relationships with AI. It aims to shift away from morally judging the individuals involved, to scrutinize the tech companies actually MAKING these products.

New: Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI support chatbot to change the email associated with the account they want to steal. Shockingly easy, terrible flaw associated with offloading support to AI: www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

NEW: In September, we sued ICE for documents related to its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware for remotely hacking phones and accessing encrypted messaging apps. Now, we have some documents, they owe us more, and basically everything has been redacted.

The podcast @tangoti.bsky.social did a whole episode on why AI uptake is lower among women & this was one reason - women in the workplace intuitively know our use of AI will be read this way & will diminish us in the eyes of our peers. Depressing but important to see research-based evidence of this

TANGOTI News Roundup for the week ending Friday, March 27 (part 1/2)! Here are some stories you might have missed.

Chappell Roan backlash was fueled by bots. A viral controversy about a bodyguard and a soccer star's daughter got Chappell Roan banned from a concert by Rio's mayor. Researchers found bots were behind 23% of the posts about it online. Photo of Chappell Roan.

AI couldn't tell the difference between Erika Kirk and Druski. Comedian Druski did a parody skit of "conservative women in America." When people showed Grok a photo of Druski in character, it confidently identified him as the real Erika Kirk. Photo shows side-by-side of Erika Kirk and Druski in costume.

Elon Musk loses big in court. Elon Musk bought Twitter, ran off the advertisers, then sued them for leaving. A judge threw out Musk's lawsuit accusing advertisers of illegally boycotting X - and said it can't be refiled. Photo of a sad, pouting Musk.

Hollywood won't greenlight a Black filmmaker until an unrelated Black movie proves Black audiences exist. Black filmmaker Nina Lee said execs told her they're waiting to see how Halle Bailey rom-com "You, Me & Tuscany" performs before greenlighting her projects - showing how Black filmmakers are forced to prove the market exists over and over. Image of the movie poster for "You, Me, and Tuscany".

TANGOTI News Roundup for Friday, March 20, 2026 (part 2) Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Jeremy O. Harris called Sam Altman the wrong war criminal. Award winning Slave Play playwright Jeremy O. Harris compared OpenAI's Sam Altman to a Nuremberg convict at the Vanity Fair Oscar's party. Then corrected himself and said he actually meant a different war criminal.

The editor who buried his friend's child abuse story just got hired by the New York Times. Former Rolling Stone editor Noah Schactman rewrote his reporter's story - while her mother was dying - to protect a friend who has now pleaded guilty to crimes against children. Schactman was just hired at the New York Times.

Zuckerberg finally killed the metaverse. Facebook renamed the company "Meta" to bury a scandal about knowingly harming young girls. Spent $80 billion on a virtual world nobody used. Now it's gone, too.

The internet was chaotic this week. Here's what you missed.

Afroman wins free speech lawsuit. Cops raided his house, filed no charges. Afroman made music videos from his home surveillance footage mocking them. They sued for defamation but the jury sided with Afroman.

The Buffy reboot was killed by one Hulu exec. Chloe Zhao was directing. Sarah Michelle Gellar was ready. The Hulu exec in charge bragged that he'd never watched the show.

Nicole Kidman upstaged Jeff Bezos at the Vanity Fair Oscars party, every camera followed her in. Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were sidelined on the red carpet (and tried to look unbothered about it).

Ring Cam IS the police. Wendy Osefo, from Real Housewives of Potomac, just got charged with fraud. Evidence included footage from her own Ring Cam. Ring readily gives access to police without a warrant and without your consent. Do you really want that in your house? youtube.com/shorts/egLnJ...
