Google’s carbon emissions just went up again

Google's 2025 sustainability report shows an 11 percent increase in "ambition-based emissions" to 11.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide pollution, a 51% increase from 2019. This puts Google further away from its goal of halving planet-heating pollution by 2030. The report also highlights a 12 percent reduction in carbon emissions from data centers, despite increased energy usage due to AI.

Google’s Doppl app took off my socks

Google's new app, Doppl, allows users to create AI-generated clips of themselves wearing outfits found on the web. The app requires a screenshot of the outfit and a full-body photo of the user in bright light, a natural pose, and no hat. It generates a still image of the user wearing the outfit, and users can add random animations. However, Doppl has issues with putting pants on photos of shorts and replacing mismatched socks with AI-generated feet. The app is still in testing and could be improved to better simulate real-life outfits.

AI is ruining houseplant communities online

AI-generated plant content is a growing issue in plant-lover communities, with fake images and misinformation posing a threat to consumers. Online retailers often scam consumers, and AI chatbots and apps often spread plant care myths and ID apps. Reddit communities ban AI-generated images, and some members argue it's often wrong and doesn't consider human variability. AI-generated plant content could also make real plants appear fake, potentially damaging collectors' trust.

Meta’s AI copyright win comes with a warning about fair use

Meta has won a major legal ruling in an AI copyright lawsuit against 13 authors, alleging that the company illegally trained its AI systems on their work without permission. Judge Vince Chhabria ruled in Meta's favor, stating it is entitled to summary judgment on its fair use defense. However, the judge highlighted weak points in Meta's AI efforts and Meta's arguments defending its actions as fair use. The ruling follows Anthropic's major fair use victory, which ruled that training its models on legally purchased copies of books is fair use.
