AI Hijinks, Google Gaffes, Uber Shuttles, Musk’s Brain Chips, iPhone Payouts, School Rules, and AI Job Snatchers: A Week in Tech with a Twist
This week in tech news, we’ve got a slew of stories that will have you laughing, gasping, and maybe scratching your head. From AI drama to Google faux pas, and Elon Musk’s latest brainchild—literally—here’s your dose of humor-laden tech updates.
In a plot twist that sounds straight out of a sci-fi movie, actors are suing an AI voiceover company for allegedly stealing their voices. It’s like the plot of The Little Mermaid but with fewer mermaids and more lawyers. These actors are not just mad—they’re suing to get their voices back. Who knew voice theft could be a real thing? Looks like Ursula’s got competition in the tech world.
In a blunder that would make even the most clueless intern blush, Google Search’s AI recently declared that Barack Obama is a Muslim. Cue the facepalms. In response, Google is now turning off some results to avoid further embarrassment. It’s like putting a muzzle on your overly chatty friend who can’t stop saying the wrong thing. Better luck next time, Google.
Uber is taking a page from the “let’s make life easier” playbook by allowing riders to book shuttles to the airport. It’s like carpooling, but fancier. Now, instead of dealing with the stress of finding a ride or navigating airport parking, you can sit back and let Uber do the work. Next stop: the stress-free zone. Just make sure you don’t leave your luggage at home.
Elon Musk is at it again, and this time he’s looking for a second person to test Neuralink’s brain chip. It’s like trying to find a volunteer for the ultimate science experiment—one that involves sticking a chip in your brain. Who’s up for becoming a cyborg? If you’re feeling adventurous (and a bit tech-savvy), this could be your chance to make headlines and maybe even read minds.
In a rare win for the little guys, some iPhone users are eligible for a $349 payout due to a lawsuit over audio issues. It’s like finding money in your couch cushions, but a lot more satisfying. If you’ve been cursing at your iPhone’s faulty audio, now’s the time to cash in. Consider it a small compensation for all those times Siri didn’t understand you.
High schools across the country are putting the kibosh on AI, worried it’s making students lazy. It’s like banning calculators in math class, but with more existential dread. Teachers are concerned that AI tools are doing too much of the thinking for students. So, it’s back to the old-fashioned way: using brains without silicon assistance. Sorry, kids—no more AI-generated homework.
In his usual cheerful style, Elon Musk has predicted that AI will take all our jobs. Great. Just when you thought you were safe from robot overlords, here comes Musk to remind you that your job is next on the chopping block. But hey, at least we’ll have more free time, right? Time to brush up on those hobbies and maybe learn to code—before the AI does that too.
Wrapping Up the Week in Tech with a Smile
From AI stealing voices and Google’s search blunders to Uber’s new airport shuttles and Musk’s brain chips, this week’s tech news is anything but boring. Throw in some iPhone lawsuit payouts, high schools battling AI, and Musk’s cheery job predictions, and you’ve got a week full of laughs and head-scratches. Stay tuned for more tech twists and turns—because if you can’t laugh at it, what’s the point?
