Pete Davidson is speaking publicly about his famous exes, his history with Ye, influencer culture and artificial intelligence, drawing wide reaction online. Commenters are weighing in on his candid remarks about past high-profile relationships and his take on celebrity and technology, keeping the comedian at the center of social media conversation.

PewDiePie is pushing for free, open AI models, framing OpenAI as hostile to that goal. The former YouTube star's foray into artificial intelligence debates is drawing big attention, with commentary about whether major AI companies should release their models openly. The clash between open-source advocates and closed-model firms is fueling discussion online.

Proton founder Andy Yen says nine out of ten people prefer his company's version of the internet to Google's, in a wide-ranging interview covering age verification, Big Tech's dominance, artificial intelligence and the future of digital privacy.

The New York Times has published an opinion video asking whether artificial intelligence should be viewed not as a revolutionary force but as 'normal technology' — a tool that, like electricity or the internet, will be absorbed gradually into everyday life. The piece challenges hype on both sides, questioning predictions of either transformative upheaval or existential risk, and inviting viewers to reconsider how disruptive A.I. really is.

Commentary from The Philadelphia Inquirer argues that the United States' failure to adequately regulate AI could repeat the mistakes made with the internet in the 1990s. The piece points to a '90s law intended to rein in the online world as a clue to what may happen if policymakers again fall behind fast-moving technology. It joins a broader debate over how, and how quickly, governments should regulate artificial intelligence.

Reports circulating online claim leading artificial intelligence companies are privately running scenario exercises for a public and political revolt following a catastrophic AI-related event, most likely a cyberattack that disrupts financial services, internet access, or power and water supplies. The claim draws a comparison with the Defense Department's decades of war-gaming, saying many top AI firms are now doing similar internal planning.
