This spring, as the world readies not for florals but for the film’s sequel, questions around toxic work cultures—and how to handle them—are resurfacing.Fresh discourse on the topic was sparked during the upcoming movie’s press tour, when Emily Blunt—who plays the English, overworked but fashionable first assistant to the editor-in-chief of a magazine—revisited one of her character’s most iconic scenes.In the scene, Blunt’s character (also named Emily), who is wearing Valentino and an early-aughts smoky eye, dashes…

Taylor Swift recently filed a series of trademark applications designed to protect the star from AI-enabled impersonations. Swift already holds a wide array of trademarks, but these latest filings, at least one intellectual property firm suggests, serve a new purpose: protecting the timbre and character of her voice itself through what is known as a “sound mark.”In two recent filings, posted April 24 by Swift’s company, the celebrity applied to trademark two recordings. In one, she says, “Hey, it’s Taylor,” and in the other, “Hey, it’s Taylor Swift.” The recordings themselves are not particularly novel, but that is likely beside…

The European Union accused Meta on Wednesday of failing to stop underage users from accessing Facebook and Instagram, in violation of the bloc’s tough digital rules that require social media sites to protect minors.The EU’s executive branch said Meta Platforms lacked effective measures to prevent children younger than 13 from signing up, and that it was not doing enough to identify and remove children after they had opened accounts.Meta’s own minimum age to open an account on Facebook or Instagram is 13.The problem is not just that children are getting access. The European Commission said Meta is also inadequately assessing…

It’s hard to imagine now, but Elon Musk and Sam Altman were once happy co-workers. The power duo co-founded OpenAI in 2015 to build artificial intelligence safely. Now they’re facing off in a bitter $134 billion lawsuit that went to trial this week. Here’s what the trial is all about: Musk left OpenAI’s board in 2018 and sued the company, Altman and president Greg Brockman in 2024, alleging they broke their commitment to keep the AI lab a nonprofit. Musk claims he was “assiduously manipulated” and “deceived” by promises to “chart a safer, more open course than profit-driven tech giants.”…
