Digital Media Marketing, and Technology News
Original analysis on AI, digital marketing, and technology for small businesses
News analysis for business owners: what changed in AI, platforms, and the tools your business runs on, and what to do about it this week. Every story is original DMMT analysis that links to the primary sources we used.
Researchers decoded 315,320 “encrypted” AI thinking blocks from public agent logs and pulled out live API keys and passwords. The geopolitics got the headlines. The part you can act on didn’t.
Scientists are growing human neurons that play Pong. The real story is not a computing revolution — it is a working lesson in separating what AI can do today from what its promoters need you to believe about tomorrow.
A Nature Genetics study flagged 766 schizophrenia-linked genes and the coverage credits AI. The actual method is statistical genomics — and that gap is exactly where businesses overpay for AI they do not understand.

One interview crossed a language barrier and a whole new audience decided what it meant. That is context collapse, and it is the same mechanic behind every small business post that travels far and converts nothing. Here is what it costs and what to build instead.
New York City’s click-to-cancel rule takes effect October 1, 2026, and the city is shipping the complaint app on the same day. Fines start at $525, phone-only cancellation is out, and jurisdiction follows the customer, not your office.
