People who had previously felt paralyzed by their NDA’s began to talk. Helena, the conflict-avoidant moderator of the Mercor subreddit, worked overtime deleting furious rants from aggrieved workers who delighted in dropping names of the “secret projects”—something explicitly banned by the non-disclosure agreement every tasker must sign before being hired as an Independent Contractor.Elsewhere, on another project, Handsome Swede was not faring well. Felled by Covid, he told his team leaders he could not make the minimum weekly requirement and was swiftly fired. He entered the melee once again to find yet another project.The wages were dropping week by week.…

Starting today, eager customers of the US pizza restaurant chain Papa Johns living in one corner of southern North Carolina will have the opportunity to receive their food from the sky, thanks to a new collaboration with Alphabet’s drone company, Wing. But Papa Johns’ signature pizzas won’t be on offer. Instead, drone-loving North Carolinians will have to choose between three kinds of sandwiches, a newer product for the fast-food chain: Philly cheesesteak, chicken bacon ranch, or steak and mushroom varieties.Drone deliveries are popping up in more communities across the US and the world. Questions about the long-term economics and regulatory…

Tim Schafer, head of Double Fine, didn’t really work much on Kiln. He was, as he says, “right next to it,” giving “ideas and stuff.” But apparently, he inadvertently gave the game its name, a fact he didn’t realize until he watched the Double Fine documentary on its internal game jam, Amnesia Fortnite. From it, Schafer unlocked his own memory of Kiln project lead Derek Brand pitching the game to him, and Schafer suggesting he call it Kiln, “like you’re killin’ it.” “Smashing it” would probably be more accurate, but less punny, and we’ve already got a game with that…

A major oil company is seeking a state tax break in Texas worth hundreds of millions of dollars to build a massive power plant. The energy won’t be going to residential customers, though. Instead, the gas plant will be used to power a data center whose eventual tenant could be Microsoft.Chevron subsidiary Energy Forge One has filed an application with the State Comptroller’s board to obtain a tax abatement for a power plant it’s building in West Texas. In late January, the comptroller’s office made a recommendation to support the application’s approval—the first such approval under the program for a…

Are you still debating whether you should pick up the two-month-old Pixel 10a mid-ranger (at a reduced price right now) or “settle” for last year’s cheaper and humbler practically identical Pixel 9a? Why not add the Pixel 9 to that debate… and instantly close it in favor of the 2024-released high-ender?Yes, the Pixel 9 packs the exact same Tensor G4 chipset as the 9a and 10a, which might suggest that its high-end label is no longer warranted. But in terms of build quality and camera performance, there’s really no comparing that older model with the younger a-branded bucks, and the…

High-profile gaming leaks in recent times seem to have become primarily the province of Nintendo, which has appeared incapable of putting out a big-name game for the Switch 1 without it running on PC before it’s ever sold on Switch. But stand aside Mario, because Microsoft’s massive May release, Forza Horizon 6, reportedly appeared online to download and run over the weekend, nine days before its official launch. As observed by VGC, multiple parts of the internet are reporting the news of the Forza Horizon 6 disaster, with word that the leaked version has already been cracked to run independently of Steam…

A fresh take on the traditional concours arrives this summer. Set against the elegant backdrop of Wilton House, the inaugural Concours des Légendes promises something far richer than polished bodywork alone. Instead of static displays, this new event shifts the focus to the people who shaped automotive history. As a result, visitors can expect insight, storytelling, and rare access to industry icons. A Concours with a Difference Concours des Légendes runs from 19-21 June 2026. However, it breaks away from the usual lawn-lined format. Rather than simply admiring cars, attendees will hear directly from the drivers, designers, and engineers behind…

Forgive me for starting with a cliché, a piece of finance jargon that has recently slipped into the tech lexicon, but I’m afraid I must talk about “moats.” Popularized decades ago by Warren Buffett to refer to a company’s competitive advantage, the word found its way into Silicon Valley pitch decks when a memo purportedly leaked from Google, titled “We Have No Moat, and Neither Does OpenAI,” fretted that open-source AI would pillage Big Tech’s castle.A few years on, the castle walls remain safe. Apart from a brief bout of panic when DeepSeek first appeared, open-source AI models have not…
