Tech Tidbits: Facebook and Nvidia Beg Supreme Court for a Break, Election Speculators Gamble, French Families Sue TikTok, and Bezos Backs AI-Powered Robots

November 5, 2024

Hey there, Noodle Networkers! It's time to boot up and log in to today's digital diary. The tech world is buzzing with new developments, and we're here to decode these bytes for you. So, let's dive into the silicon soup of today’s tech tales!

Facebook and Nvidia to Supreme Court: “Please, No Fraud Lawsuits!”

Facebook and Nvidia have taken a rare stroll to the U.S. Supreme Court, pleading to be saved from securities fraud suits. They’re basically asking the justices, “Can you let us do our jobs without all these pesky fraud allegations?” Both companies argue that investors shouldn’t be allowed to sue over mere market hiccups, but Wall Street’s like, “No hiccup feels like a $10 billion loss.” If the Court agrees, tech giants everywhere might finally get some legal breathing room—or at least fewer calls from their lawyers at 2 a.m.

Cryptoverse Election Fever: The Prediction Markets Go Wild

As the U.S. election looms, political speculators are flooding into prediction markets to bet on the outcome. It’s not Vegas, but it sure feels like it. The prediction markets are buzzing with bets on who’s winning, who’s losing, and which candidate’s Twitter might implode first. For those who’ve had enough of sports betting, wagering on election results is the new thrill. At this rate, we’ll probably see prop bets on which politician will say “fake news” the most times in a debate.

French Families Sue TikTok: The App That Just Won’t Stop

Several French families are suing TikTok, accusing the app of failing to remove harmful content. Imagine if Les Misérables were remade with parents and teens fighting an algorithm instead of a revolution. These families argue that TikTok’s endless stream of questionable challenges and edgy videos is putting kids at risk, and they want the platform to actually follow through on content moderation. TikTok’s lawyers are bracing themselves for battle, probably while practicing the best “we’re very serious about safety” face.

Physical Intelligence Startup Raises $400 Million: Robots Just Got a Big Allowance

Robot AI startup Physical Intelligence just raised a staggering $400 million, with Jeff Bezos and OpenAI among the backers. If you’ve ever wondered when robots would finally get their PhD in flexibility, the answer is: soon, and they’re doing it with a huge budget. Physical Intelligence’s robots promise to be a little less clunky and a lot more “human-like,” which means your future personal assistant might actually handle your coffee mug without spilling. Bezos is clearly excited, and let’s face it, he’s probably testing these bots out at his house as we speak.
