“An artist or artists should be there,” David Lynch’s daughter wrote of the newly on-the-market Los Angeles home of the famed artist and filmmaker who died this past January. In a Reddit thread under the mantle thatjenlynch, Jennifer Lynch, herself a filmmaker and the author of the Twin Peaks–affiliated book The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer, wrote, “the details around the property speak of Dad and his amazing eye.” Lynch and her three siblings wish they could keep it, she wrote, but evidently David Lynch included a stipulation in his will: “Immediately sell the compound as a single property and…
An artwork by Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez that decorated a crosswalk in Coral Gables, Florida, has been removed according to a new directive issued by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) that prohibits public artwork “associated with social, political, or ideological messages or images.” The statewide memo issued June 30 by the FDOT targeted “pavement or surface art – or any markings not directly supporting traffic control or public safety – on crosswalks and travel lanes, including pavement surface art.” Related Articles In 2017, during that year’s Art Basel art fair, Cruz-Diez presented a public artwork in Coral Gables titled…
Reddit and Google are discussing a new partnership that would weave Reddit content more directly into Google’s AI products, Bloomberg reported. Why we care. If Reddit and Google tighten their AI ties, more Reddit content could surface in AI Overviews and other Google products – potentially shifting visibility for brands and SEOs. If Google and Reddit strike a new deal, user-generated discussions will likely carry even more weight in shaping AI-driven answers and referral traffic. What’s happening. Reddit is exploring dynamic pricing, where payouts from Google or OpenAI could rise as Reddit’s data becomes more central to AI answers. The…

Tesla is making a big change to its Full Self-Driving doghouse that drivers will like. The doghouse is a hypothetical term used to describe the penalty period that Tesla applies to drivers who receive too many infractions related to distracted driving. Previously, Tesla implemented a seven-day ban on the use of Full Self-Driving for those who received five strikes in a vehicle equipped with a cabin camera and three strikes for those without a cabin camera. It also forgave one strike per week of Full Self-Driving use, provided the driver did not receive any additional strikes during the seven-day period.…
Google is circulating a revamped 26-page pitch deck for AI Max, its AI-powered ad suite for search campaigns, after an earlier version left advertisers more confused than convinced. How it works.

Marketers worry about brand safety, with some fearing AI could pull misleading or legally risky claims, such as skincare clinical data tied to the wrong product. Others have flagged accuracy gaps, noting that the tool often misinterprets sector nuances, pulling…
Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) is ruiningthe internet. During a recent interview, he said that the days of search engines being “the dominant interface of the web” are “long gone.” Speaking on the WIRED Big Interview Podcast, Prince expressed his concerns about a near-term dystopian AI scenario. He said: “Now, if you run a search, it gives you back an answer at the top of the page. It doesn’t give you a treasure map. Instead, it provides you with what they call an AI Overview, which has taken a whole bunch of content, smashed it…
The competition in intelligent electric vehicles has shifted from a battle of electric versus fuel power to a game centered around artificial intelligence. With the global rise of generative models and the spread of assisted driving technology in the domestic market, artificial intelligence is reshaping the automotive industry and will influence the development patterns of every car company.Since the beginning of this year, several automotive companies have made strides in the field of intelligent cockpits. However, most remain at the preliminary stage of simply integrating models, only improving the response speed and execution volume of the in-car systems. The new…
Five members of the punk art collective Pussy Riot have been sentenced to prison in absentia by a Moscow court, per the Art Newspaper. Maria (Masha) Alekhina, Olga Borisova, Diana Burkot, Alina Petrova, and Taso Pletner were sentenced to periods ranging from 8 to 13 years for “spreading knowingly false information containing data about the deployment of the Russian Armed Forces,” according to the court.
