Missouri Substitute Teacher’s OnlyFans Income Surges After District Firing

Sheena Sittner, a 42-year-old substitute teacher in the Parkway School District near St. Louis, was removed from her assignments after the district discovered her OnlyFans account. While the district cited her role working with minors as grounds for dismissal, Sittner argues her First Amendment rights were violated. Since the news of her firing spread, her adult content business has seen a significant increase in subscribers and revenue. Sittner, who had worked with children for decades, stated that the financial gains from her online platform now far exceed her previous teaching salary, which was approximately $140 per day. She maintains that the backlash intended to ruin her life has instead boosted her financial stability, allowing her to support her family more effectively than her previous job did.

Lawsuit alleges Meta used AI to select layoff victims, including disabled and on-leave employees

Lawsuit alleges Meta used AI to select layoff victims, including disabled and on-leave employees

A 26-person lawsuit in the Northern District of California claims Meta used internal AI systems—such as Metamate, 'second-brain' agents, keystroke monitoring, and AI-driven ranking—to score and select employees for layoffs, disproportionately affecting workers on protected medical or disability leaves. Meta says layoff decisions were made by people, not AI. The plaintiffs allege the tools did not neutralize inputs for protected leaves or accommodations and seek an injunction to preserve employment status, an independent audit of the selection process, and preservation of related data; the layoffs are set to begin July 22, and the suit is not a class action, with arbitration expected for plaintiffs.

Connecticut Sets AI Hiring-Decision Transparency Standard

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont signed SB 5, mandating that employers disclose to employees and applicants when AI tools influence hiring decisions, including what data are used and the sources; notices must cover tools deployed on or after Oct. 1, 2027 and may be provided by the developers; the law requires notifying the Labor Department if mass layoffs result from AI/automation; it updates anti-discrimination rules to allow bias testing as evidence of steps to prevent discrimination; it also tightens minors’ social media use and expands state AI/quantum workforce efforts, including a UConn unit to study AI’s impact on the workforce.

Delaware Court Reinstates Subnautica 2 Founders, Reversing Krafton's Control Takeover

A Delaware judge ordered Krafton to reinstate Subnautica 2’s leadership at Unknown Worlds, ruling Krafton wrongfully terminated the co-founders and chief executive without cause and improperly seized control. The decision directs restoration of their operational authority and access to the game’s early access launch and Steam, while Krafton says it respectfully disagrees and may pursue damages. The ruling follows prior disputes over a $250 million bonus tied to Subnautica 2’s release and related actions, including Krafton’s handling of the executives and internal decisions; the enforcement path remains unclear for the game's release.
