Grammarly's 'expert review' is just missing the actual experts | TechCrunch
Launched in August 2025 as part of a broader set of AI-powered features, Expert Review appears in the sidebar of Grammarly's main writing assistant, allowing users to bring up revision suggestions 'from the perspective' of subject matter experts. Wired noted that this Grammarly frames this feedback as if it was coming from well-known authors, whether they're living or dead. In some cases, according to The Verge, it can even appear to come from tech journalists at The Verge, Wired, Bloomberg, The New York Times, and other publications. Of course, I couldn't help but wonder: What about TechCrunch' I copy-pasted an early draft of this post into Grammarly in the hopes that that I might see some tips from my TC colleagues, but I was instead told to add ethical context like Casey Newton, 'leverage the anecdote for reader alignment' like Kara Swisher, and 'pose the bigger accountability question' like Timnit Gebru. Anyway, to state the obvious, none of these figures appear to be involved in Expert Reviews or to have given Grammarly permission to use their names. Alex Gay, vice president of product and corporate marketing at Grammarly's parent company Superhuman, told The Verge that these experts are mentioned 'because their published works are publicly available and widely cited.'...

Private equity investor Brydell backs '75m bulk home purchases from Vistry ' Private Equity Insights
The deals took place between 2023 and 2025 as Vistry navigated a weaker housing market and a period marked by profit warnings. Brydell acquired the properties at discounts of up to 15% to open market values. Under the structure, Vistry sold the properties to Brydell and leased many of them back for two to four years to operate as show homes. The arrangement generated rental yields of about 9% for Brydell. Bulk property sales have become increasingly common across the UK residential sector as developers seek faster capital recycling in a subdued housing market. Selling units to institutional investors can also reduce marketing costs and mitigate development risk on large sites. Subscribe to our Newsletter to increase your edge.

Meta sued over AI smart glasses' privacy concerns, after workers reviewed nudity, sex, and other footage | TechCrunch
Meta is facing a new lawsuit over its AI smart glasses and their lack of privacy, after an investigation by Swedish newspapers found that workers at a Kenya-based subcontractor are reviewing footage from customers' glasses, which included sensitive content, like nudity, people having sex, and using the toilet. Meta claimed it was blurring faces in images, but sources disputed that this blurring consistently worked, reports noted. The news prompted the U.K. regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office, to investigate the matter. Now, the tech giant is facing a lawsuit in the United States, as well. In the newly filed complaint, plaintiffs Gina Bartone of New Jersey and Mateo Canu of California, represented by the public interest-focused Clarkson Law Firm, allege that Meta violated privacy laws and engaged in false advertising. The complaint alleges that the Meta AI smart glasses are advertised using promises like 'designed for privacy, controlled by you,' and 'built for your privacy,' which might not lead customers to assume their glasses' footage, including intimate moments, was being watched by overseas workers. The plaintiffs believed Meta's marketing and said they saw no disclaimer or information that contradicted the advertised privacy protections....
