Canva apologizes after its AI tool replaces ‘Palestine’ in designs

I suddenly feel so much better about every embarrassing typo I’ve ever made. | Original Illustration (left) by Agathe Singer One of Canva's new AI features has been caught replacing the word "Palestine" in designs. The Magic Layers feature - which is designed to break flat images out into separate editable components - isn't supposed to make visible alterations to user designs, but it was found by X user @ros_ie9 to automatically switch the phrase "cats for Palestine" to "cats for Ukraine."

Can't subscribe to Pro for a week, payment fails, support is a bot loop, and I'm owed €68 I can't use

Hey everyone, For over a week now, I've been trying to re-subscribe to the Pro plan from a free account, and I keep hitting the same wall: "*Payment failed. Please try again later.

The AI-designed car is taking shape

The auto design world is full of advanced 3D visualization tools and VR sculpting platforms, but your average new car still enters the world as a sketch. Those sketches traditionally see endless iteration and refinement from all angles before being turned into 3D models by hand, some dying in the digital world, others sculpted into clay to better visualize lines and profiles. That's just the beginning of a design and development process that often takes a half-decade or more. That means many new cars hitting dealerships this summer were first sketched in 2020 or 2021, initiatives kicked off w...

GPT-5.5 is lowkey blowing my mind

Just spent the whole morning testing GPT-5.5 in ChatGPT and the jump in agentic reasoning and complex task handling is ridiculous.It plans multi-step workflows, uses tools properly, checks its own work, and actually gets stuff done instead of hallucinating halfway through. Feels like the first time a frontier model is truly useful for serious knowledge work and coding without constant babysitting.Anyone else playing with it yet? What's the coolest (or funniest) thing you've made it do so far?
