Threads and Instagram will recommend political content after all, Google can automatically make a podcast based on your Discover feed, and Sam Altman's sister is suing the OpenAI CEO

from Engadget News + Next · host Engadget

Meta is continuing to overhaul its moderation and content rules. Instagram head Adam Mosseri posted today that Instagram and Threads will start including political content in recommendations. It's a reversal from the policy the two platforms adopted last year, which made political content something users had to choose if they wanted to see.  Also, Google knows a lot about you and your interests, and it uses that information to try and get more of your time and attention. A new Search Labs experiment called "Daily Listen," for instance, can turn your Discover feed into a professional podcast. Annie Altman, the sister of OpenAI founder and CEO Sam Altman, has sued her brother accusing him of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor. In a complaint filed this week with a Missouri federal court, Annie Altman alleges her older brother committed “numerous acts of rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse, molestation, sodomy, and battery” from 1997 to 2006, with the abuse starting when she was only three years old.
