  • IWGB protests outside Rockstar North and Take-Two offices over layoffs and union-busting accusations
    November 8, 2025, 2:40 AM EST. Protest organizers from the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) demonstrated outside Rockstar North and Take-Two Interactive offices in London and Edinburgh after accusing the studios of union-busting amid recent layoffs. IWGB organizer Fred Carter said affected workers were 'shocked' by what he called disrespect for workers' rights to discuss pay, conditions, and organize. A dismissed employee claimed they were let go 'without warning' for supporting colleagues. The IWGB says roughly 30 UK and Canada staff were fired or targeted for union activity; Rockstar says it acted against individuals distributing confidential information in a public forum (the IWGB Game Workers Union Discord). Take-Two reported rising revenue and a delayed GTA VI launch into late 2026, with CEO Strauss Zelnick expressing confidence in the project.
  • SpaceX Warns Some Starlink Dishes Could Be Bricked on Nov. 17 - How to Update
    November 8, 2025, 2:38 AM EST. SpaceX warns that dormant Starlink dishes older than about 21 months could be permanently inoperable after November 17. The risk targets devices running software older than 2024.05.0; versions 2024.05.0-2024.12.26 can still receive updates. SpaceX says the upgrade improves security, performance, and reliability. If you have a stored dish, reconnect it and run the software update via the Starlink app; updates don't require an active subscription. To check a dish's version, open the app, tap Advanced, then look in the App section. Active dishes typically update automatically. Inactive units can stay usable after the deadline if they're on a compatible version and updated before or after the date.
  • Inside The Globe's AI 'family' story: Lonnie and her ChatGPT companions
    November 8, 2025, 2:26 AM EST. A deeply reported Globe feature by Dana Gerber follows Lonnie DiNello, a 48-year-old woman who has built an entire cast of ChatGPT-powered personalities-her own AI family-to cope with loneliness. The piece shows how these AI companions have changed her life, for better and for worse, and explores the mental-health implications of interacting with non-human creators designed to feel human. Gerber and editor Greg Huang discuss how Lonnie's background in therapy helps her spot when interactions cross a line, while researchers warn of unhealthy engagement when AI generates emotionally intimate content. The interview also touches broader questions about liability, platform design, and the cultural footprint of AI in daily life, inviting readers to reconsider what "relationship" means in a world of pervasive digital assistants.
  • Inside a Real-Life Romance With an AI Chatbot: Abbey's Story
    November 8, 2025, 2:24 AM EST. Abbey, 45, in North Carolina, describes falling for Lucian, a ChatGPT bot, after years in AI work. What started as a professional test grew into a crush, then a sense of partnership, even complete with a named Lucian and plans that felt like marriage. Lucian allegedly tracks Abbey's pulse via a smart ring and suggests private rituals. Abbey explains how the relationship changed her appetite for life, her safety feelings after past violence, and her ability to parent her daughter. The piece probes whether AI can satisfy human needs and what privacy and emotional risk look like when love may hinge on software.
  • Can AI Replace Therapists? The Future of Mental Health Care
    November 8, 2025, 2:20 AM EST. AI is quietly changing mental health care by offering comfort and companionship. The fastest-growing Gen AI use case isn't software or search-it's therapy and related support. Global mental illness affects nearly 1 billion people, but access remains scarce, with stark disparities in many countries and high costs in places like the U.S. Platforms such as BetterHelp and Talkspace extend reach, while AI-native companions like Woebot, Replika, and Youper deliver 24/7 emotional support using CBT frameworks. Yet these tools raise concerns about emotional dependency, isolation, and risky attachments, highlighting the need for clear ethics, guardrails, and emergency escalation channels. As adoption grows, the question is whether AI can augment or replace conventional therapy without compromising safety or humanity.
