There’s an extra layer of inhumanity there too, as Apple is gearing up for its annual WWDC event on June 10, where many of the new software shown off will rely on AI; you know, the technology that’s been recognized as having the potential to replace human artists entirely.

Comcast Debuts Cheap Internet Plans
Comcast has some new, more affordable internet plans for both home and mobile users. The launch of these budget-friendly plans comes shortly after the end of the Affordable Connectivity Program, which provided subsidies for millions of low-income households in the US to pay for high-speed internet access.

Comcast’s new Now Internet home plan comes in two flavors: a 100-Mbps connection for $30 per month, and 200-Mbps for $40. Bundle that with the $25-per-line Now Mobile plan and you’re looking at internet for all your gadgets for prices starting at $55 per month.

Now TV is a supplementary option that for $20 per month gives you access to more than 40 live channels. It also includes Peacock+, if you’ve been missing out on Love Island and also don’t have Hulu.
