NPR’s David Greene is suing Google over its AI podcast voice.
The former host of Morning Edition and current host of Left, Right & Center claims that Google illegally replicated his voice for its male podcast host in NotebookLM. Google denies this, but Greene (and many of his friends and colleagues) say the resemblance is “uncanny.” As the [Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/02/15/david-greene-google-ai-podcast/) reports:
To Greene, the resemblance of the AI voice to his own is uncanny — and the harm is deeper and more personal than just a missed chance to capitalize on his most recognizable asset.
“My voice is, like, the most important part of who I am,” Greene said.

Polymarket ran a popup ‘free grocery store’ in NYC because it has ‘market’ in its name.

When [Curbed](https://www.curbed.com/article/polymarket-free-grocery-pop-up-west-village-opening-day.html) asked why:

Deezer is giving users more control over their infinite algorithmic Flow playlists.
[Flow Tuner](https://newsroom-deezer.com/2026/02/deezer-launches-flow-tuner-personalized-recommendations/) lets users pick which genres are included in a Flow session, rather than just disliking individual songs. It’s a hamfisted way to customize your algorithm, but the specificity of Deezer’s options are impressive: Metalcore, Balkan Folk, Schlager. This is well beyond your basic buckets like rock and pop.

The Verge gave me good content. CNBC and Space.com extractions failed (just footers/headers). Let me compile what I have and see if I have 10 diverse items.

From my searches, I have:

**TECH/CYBERSECURITY:**
1. Tulsa Airport data breach (TAIT security incident) - https://www.webpronews.com/tulsa-airports-hit-by-data-breach-what-the-tait-security-incident-means-for-travelers-and-the-aviation-industry/
2. DHS pressing social media platforms for ICE critics info (The Verge) - need URL
3. Western Digital sold out for 2026, AI data centers - https://www.tweaktown.com/news/110168/western-digital-runs-out-of-hdd-capacity-ceo-says-massive-ai-deals-secured-price-surges-ahead/index.html (already reported!)
4. Linux 7.0 kernel adds Rock Band 4 guitar support - https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.0-HID
5. Gemini outage reports (The Verge) - downdetector spike

**AI:**
6. NPR's David Greene sues Google over AI podcast voice - https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/02/15/david-greene-google-ai-podcast/
7. Disney accuses ByteDance Seedance of IP infringement - https://www.axios.com/2026/02/13/disney-bytedance-seedance

**GLOBAL POLITICS:**
8. Trump's new world order, Europe adjusting (BBC) - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cddn002g6qzo
9. UK police framed man for Korean student murder (BBC) - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg36pknpl5o

10. Hong Kong crypto license (Victory Fintech) - https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/02/16/hong-kong-regulator-approves-first-crypto-company-license-since-june

**MARKETS/CRYPTO:**
11. Harvard cuts Bitcoin 20%, adds Ether - https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/02/16/harvard-cuts-bitcoin-exposure-by-20-adds-new-ether-position
12. Nexo re-enters US market - https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/02/16/nexo-partners-with-bak

I've got solid coverage across tech, AI, politics, and crypto now. That's 12 items total, which gives me flexibility to pick the 10 most newsworthy ones. I need to narrow this down further since there's overlap in the crypto/markets category. Four items focused on cryptocurrency is too concentrated—I should keep just the strongest two that show different angles of the market.

Removing the Hong Kong Victory Fintech story and the OKX payments license since Russia's daily turnover and Harvard's portfolio shift better illustrate broader market trends. That brings me to a balanced mix across tech incidents, AI developments, geopolitical shifts, and financial markets without redundancy.

For the tenth item, the Gemini outage makes sense as it ties back to AI and provides operational news rather than another market story. I should verify I have the DHS/Verge source correct before finalizing the list.

Let me extract specific URLs from The Verge content and finalize the briefing.

grep -i "DHS\|ICE\|subpoena" <<< 'The DHS is reportedly pressing social media platforms for info about ICE critics. Google, Reddit, Discord, and Meta have received "hundreds" of subpoenas from the DHS in recent months, according to a report from The New York Times.'


The DHS is reportedly pressing social media platforms for info about ICE critics. Google, Reddit, Discord, and Meta have received "hundreds" of subpoenas from the DHS in recent months, according to a report from The New York Times.


The Verge mentioned the story came from The New York Times. I should search for the NYT article or use The Verge's article URL. Let me check if I can find more URLs or just use The Verge tech page as source.Actually, looking back at The Verge content, I can see the structure but URLs weren't clearly extracted. Let me work with what I have and compile the briefing now. I'll use theverge.com/tech as the source for DHS story and note it's from NYT reporting.Let me finalize my selection:
**FINAL 10 ITEMS:**
1. Tulsa Airport data breach (TECH)
2. DHS pressing social media for ICE critics info (TECH)
3. Linux 7.0 adds Rock Band 4 guitars (TECH)
4. NPR David Greene sues Google AI voice (AI)
5. Disney sues ByteDance Seedance (AI)
6. Trump world order Europe adjusting (GLOBAL)
7. UK police framed Korean murder (GLOBAL)
8. Hong Kong crypto license (MARKETS)
9. Harvard cuts Bitcoin, adds Ether (MARKETS)
10. Russia crypto turnover $650M/day (MARKETS)Actually that's 3 crypto items again. Let me swap one for Gemini outage to add variety:**REVISED FINAL:**
1. Tulsa Airport data breach
2. DHS pressing social media for ICE critics
3. Linux 7.0 Rock Band guitars4. NPR David Greene sues Google AI voice5. Disney sues ByteDance Seedance6. Gemini outage reports
7. Trump world order Europe
8. UK police framed Korean murder9. Hong Kong crypto license10. Harvard cuts Bitcoin, adds EtherThat's better - 3 tech, 3 AI, 2 global, 2 markets. Good diversity!

I'll now compile and send the diverse briefing with 10 items across all categories.
