AI Writes Code, Judges Write Burns | Tech News of the Week
Description
Another week, another tech reckoning! In this episode of Tech News of the Week, we dive into Microsoft's AI coding claims, password security doomscrolling courtesy of Hive Systems, Meta's courtroom drama, and Apple getting absolutely obliterated (again) in the Epic Games case. It's a smorgasbord of corporate shenanigans and judicial sass.

đ Appleâs greed gets them held in contempt, and weâre here for every delicious legal dunk. https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/01/read-the-juiciest-bits-from-the-apple-epic-court-ruling/
We wrap things up with a reminder that you should stop being greedy, be better about your passwords, and that nobodyâNOBODYâshould try to merge Excel, Word, and PowerPoint into a productivity chimera.
