This summer, a strange spate of posts popped up in neighborhood Facebook groups: “Found a parrot in south philly,” one post said, “… anyone missing it? Singing its little heart out.” “Lost bird!” said another. Then another: “Please get this parakeet back home!” In the last few months, the number of these posts — alerting people to loose or lost exotic birds, like parrots, parakeets, or budgerigars, throughout Philadelphia — has seemingly, anecdotally, increased. One person on Reddit noticed this trend and wrote, “WTH is with all these lost birds around Philly? Did a pet store close and just let a bunch of birds loose?” No official entity could confirm or quantify this phenomenon: The Pennsylvania Game Commission deferred questions to local animal welfare groups.

The state of New Mexico asked a state judge to order Meta to pay between $35 billion and $40 billion in civil penalties, following a jury verdict that found the tech giant repeatedly misled users about consumer privacy on Facebook. The request was made during a penalty hearing stemming from the fallout of the Cambridge Analytica controversy, as per a report by news agency Reuters. The British political consultancy, which worked on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, harvested personal data from up to 87 million Facebook users via a third-party application without their explicit consent.The Santa Fe jury reached its liability verdict on September 25. State District Judge Francis Mathew, who presided over the proceedings, will determine the exact financial penalty Meta must pay.

Mark Zuckerberg was busted fighting back a laugh as President Donald Trump tore into a female reporter in front of a group of billionaire men. The scene unfolded as Trump stepped outside the West Wing after meeting with tech leaders on Tuesday, flanked by Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, among others. Mark Zuckerberg appeared to hold back a laugh as the president insulted a CNN reporter doing her job. Newsmax After Amodei finished answering a question about his concerns about AI, reporters peppered him with follow-ups. CNN Senior White House Correspondent Kristen Holmes called out to ask Amodei if he thinks “self-policing” by AI companies was enough to keep AI risks in check. Trump, 80, cut her off. “Hold it, hold it, hold it,” he said, leaning forward and pointing his finger at the 40-year-old Holmes. Trump’s all-male entourage wore mischievous grins as the president lashed out at a female reporter.

Jess Weatherbed is a news writer focused on creative industries, computing, and internet culture. Jess started her career at TechRadar, covering news and hardware reviews. Tech YouTuber Matt Robb says that Muse gave out his home address to a total stranger this weekend, after authorizing the bot to handle his Facebook Marketplace account. That’s despite Meta placing great emphasis on the security features of Muse when it launched the personal AI agent earlier this month as it tries to catch up with competing AI providers like Anthropic and OpenAI. “Just found out it told people my address and agreed a lowball price and then they showed up without it even telling me until late tonight that it messed up,” Robb said on Threads, providing a screenshot of Muse’s admission. “ didn’t tell me any of this until after the guy had left (luckily I’m in an apartment with security),” he added in a follow up post. The incident appears to have been caused by the way Muse was prompted to run Robb’s Facebook Marketplace page.  » Read More
