These are the Daily Tic headlines for Saturday, May 16, 2026. I'm Sarah Lane. Let's catch up on the news. YouTube and Snap have reached settlements ahead of what would have been the first trial over claims that social media addiction harms students and disrupts learning in public schools. The lawsuit was brought by a rural Kentucky school district in federal court in Oakland, California, and accused major platforms of contributing to a youth mental health crisis that forced schools to spend heavily on intervention efforts. TikTok and Meta remain defendants in the case, which is still scheduled for trial in June. Replit released its first iPhone app update four months after resolving an Apple App Store dispute tied to how AI generated apps were previewed on iOS. The update adds ReKit's new Agent 4 AI coding system, support for parallel AI agents, team collaboration tools and workspace project viewing. The company didn't say what specifically changed between them and Apple. ArXiv, that's ar XIV says it will ban researchers for one year if they submit papers containing clear signs of unchecked AI generated content to combat low quality AI written research. Computer science chair Thomas Dieterich says violations include hallucinated citations, fake data placeholders and leftover chatbot prompts or Meta comments embedded in papers which undermine trust in the work after a ban. An author will also need future submissions accepted by a reputable peer reviewed venue before they can post to arXiv. X agreed to new commitments with UK regulator Ofcom to crack down on illegal hate speech and terrorist content, including reviewing at least 85% of user reports within 48 hours and blocking UK access to accounts tied to terrorist groups. The agreement follows an Ofcom investigation into whether major platforms are enforcing the UK's Online Safety act, with X also required to submit quarterly moderation performance reports over the next year. A separate investigation into X's Grok chatbot and illegal content handling is ongoing. OpenAI launched a new personal finance feature in ChatGPT, letting US Pro Pro subscribers connect bank, brokerage and credit card accounts through Plaid and ask questions about spending, investments, subscriptions and long term planning. The tool supports more than 12,000 financial institutions, including Chase, Fidelity, Schwab and Robinhood, and follows OpenAI's recent acquisition of the team behind finance startup Hero. OpenAI says more than 200 million users are already asking ChatGPT finance related questions each month. US hospital network Mayo Clinic is said to be using an ambient listening system that records patient interactions with nurses, including in emergency rooms, and then processes the conversations with AI to generate notes. The recordings are enabled by default, but patients can opt out, though there are concerns that patients don't realize they have that right. This references a study published last month in the American College of Physicians journal Annals of Internal Medicine, led by researchers at the University of Washington, which found AI generated clinical notes were often lower quality than notes written by human clinicians, Bloomberg sources say the US Federal Trade Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into ARM over concerns the chip designer could abuse its dominance in semiconductor licensing. Regulators are examining whether ARM may restrict or degrade access to CPU blueprint licenses for customers or while expanding its own chip development efforts. Reuters sources say SpaceX is accelerating its IPO timeline and now plans to debut on the NASDAQ as early as June 12th under the ticker SPCX. After a faster than expected SEC review process, the company could reportedly begin its Investor Roadshow on June 4 with Price Shares on June 11. In what may become the largest IPO ever, SpaceX has been said to be targeting evaluation of of about $1.75 trillion and could raise roughly $75 billion in this offering. New data from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests AI exposed jobs are continuing to shrink across the US workforce. Employment in eight occupations flagged as vulnerable to AI fell 0.2% between May of 2024 and May of 2025. You Even as overall US employment grew 0.8%, with customer service, secretarial and sales roles seeing the largest declines. Separate research from Goldman Sachs also found that occupations highly exposed to AI substitution are now seeing job openings fall below pre pandemic levels, adding to signs that AI tools may already be reshaping hiring patterns.
