Carlson was ousted from Fox in late April, less than a week after Fox agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems nearly $800 million to settle an explosive defamation case. The network provided no explanation for the firing, but a wave of reports on damaging text messages and other statements Carlson made during his time at Fox have since piled up.

Since leaving Fox, Carlson kicked off a Tucker on Twitter series  arguing that Twitter was the only major remaining platform that allows free speech as he denounced news media. The series, which has published two episodes so far, has appeared to escalate contract tensions between Carlson and Fox.

Fox has demanded Carlson stop posting videos to Twitter, The New York Times also reported Monday as the networks lawyers accuse Carlson of violating his contract, which runs until early 2025 and restricts his ability to appear on other media outlets. Meanwhile, Carlsons lawyers have said the network breached the contract first.

A spokesperson for Fox News Media and attorneys representing Carlson, Bryan Freedman and Harmeet Dhillon, did not immediately return The Associated Press requests for comments on Tuesday.

Doubling down on the most catastrophic programming decision in the history of the cable news industry, Fox is now demanding that Tucker Carlson be silent until after the 2024 election, Dhillon said in a statement sent to Axios and the Times. Tucker will not be silenced by anyone.

Before his April firing, Carlson was Foxs top-rated host. His stew of grievances and political theories grew to define the network over recent years and made him an influential, and widely controversial, force in GOP politics.

Carlson has previously come under fire for defending a white-supremacist theory that claims white people are being replaced by people of color, as well as spreading misinformation about issues ranging from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol to Russias war in Ukraine.

Prevention over treatment has been gaining traction as a way to prioritize health and overall well being. Food is a major player in that equation, and Uber is taking note. 

Today, the rideshare service announced its healthcare divisionUber Healthwill now provide grocery and over-the-counter (OTC) delivery under the same umbrella using Uber Eats. Since launching in 2018, Uber Health has worked with providers and patients to enable transportation to medical facilities for non-emergency visits. They also provide same-day prescription delivery. Now, they aim to be a one-stop-shop for preventative health care, Caitlin Donovan, Global Head of Uber Health, tells Fortune. 

Typically, if you have food access issues, you also have transportation issues, she says. And so it makes it a whole lot easier for the patient [and] their care coordinator to navigate. 

Insurance companies, providers, and caregivers can use Uber Healths delivery services to serve their patients. 

They can actually walk through the grocery store with the patient to say, heres what you need. Im ordering you apples and Im ordering you whatever it might be thats appropriate for the patient from a dietary standpoint, Donovan says. They can request an order on their behalf, and then the patient can view the cart so they can repeat that grocery list over and over again. 

According to Ubers press release, more than 3,000 healthcare customers use the rideshare companys health care services, including Boston Medical Center and ModivCare. 

 This is entirely insurance funded, provider fundedincentivized to spend the right dollar to keep the patient healthier, Donovan says, adding the prioritization of value-based care.  

For those who are not eligible for the services, the cost will depend on the consumers needs and be comparable to other meal delivery services, Donovan says. 

As their expansion takes off, Donovan hopes the platform will become a part of an integrated health care experience where providers go beyond merely recommending a healthy diet, bur rather, help put the food on the table. 

Its what happens beyond the four walls of a hospital that can make a difference, Donovan says. 

Screenshots of a message sent to Damus by Apple show that the latter raised an objection over tips in the app called zaps, where users can send cryptocurrency directly to creators using the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Apple said in the message posted by Damus that the tips must use Apples in-app purchase mechanism, which takes a 30% cut of each transaction.

Although tips or donations may be optional, if they are connected to or associated with receiving digital content, they must use in-app purchase the company wrote to Damus.

In a follow-up tweet Tuesday, Damus said Apple had reached out to schedule a call to discuss the role of zaps in more detail.

Damus will be removed from the app store in 14 days, apple says zaps are not allowed on their platform because they *could* be used by content creators to sell digital content.

Several crypto advocates rushed to support Damus, including Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Block (formerly Square), who tagged Tim Cook in a tweet and asked the Apple CEO to reconsider the decision.

This seems to be a misunderstanding by @apple of how this feature works and what its for. Its a critical part of the future of the internet. It has the capacity to bring people around the world into the economy without the traditional gatekeepers, Dorsey wrote in the tweet.

Apple did not immediately respond to Fortunes request for comment. 

Apple has been in a continuous battle with blockchain-based applications for pushing its 30% fee onto cryptocurrencies and NFTs. In October, Apple updated its iOS app rules and welcomed NFT-based apps to the App Store but also rejected calls to exempt non-fungible tokens from its fee. 

In December, Coinbase said Apple was blocking its latest update to its digital wallet on iOS until the crypto exchange shared 30% of gas fees from NFT transfers or disabled the ability to send them. Coinbase caved, removing the ability for Coinbase Wallet users to send NFTs between each other.

Despite the conflict with Web3 companies, Apple seemed to compromise a bit in recent dealings. In April, the National Football League partnered with video game company Mythical Games to release NFL Rivals, a game on iOS that allows users to buy, collect, and trade NFTs like digital player cards. 

At the time of release, Mythical Games CEO John Linden told Fortune that the game was reviewed and supported by Apple. Theyve approved. Theyve been in discussion with us, Linden said. Theyve been playing the game, theyre definitely in this build.

Sky Mavis, the parent company of Web3 game Axie Infinity, also worked with Apple to launch the mobile game Axie Infinity: Origins, which was released last month in Latin America and Asia on the App Store. 

The game uses Axie Infinitys Ethereum-based Ronin blockchain and allows players to use NFTs in the game, even if they were purchased from third-party exchanges, Decrypt reported. Still, several parts of the games functionality, including crafting recipes, must be done on the desktop or Android versions.

The findings show the psychological impact of introducing A.I. in the workplace that companies will increasingly have to consider as they add the technology to the normal flow of business. A.I. may be just a tool, but it comes with a lot of baggage that can shake up how employees live and feel outside of work.

The report revealed that working with A.I. creates attachment anxiety, which in turn increases peoples need for affiliation, or person-to-person connection. When workplace human interactions are replaced with computerized ones, people react both positively and negatively. 

The positive outcome of peoples A.I.-induced craving for connection is that they become motivated to spend extra time with their colleagues, and to voluntarily help each other. The downside is that outside of work, people feel more isolated, which can lead to serious consequences including a lack of sleep and more alcohol consumption.  

Pok Man Tang, the studys lead researcher and a professor at the University of Georgia business school who focuses on human-nonhuman interactions at work, told Fortune that he developed the research questions behind the study during his former career as a bank analyst at BNP Paribas. 

Thats the time when I observed a lot of interesting interactions and dynamics and behavioral consequences among my colleagues, that made me start wondering, Why is it leading to this series of outcomes? Tang said. 

Tang questioned why his colleagues drank more at happy hour when they used more A.I., and later discovered that the cause was A.I.-induced loneliness. The study said that consuming alcohol helps dull feelings of isolation and provides an escape from peoples awareness of loneliness. Specifically, after-work drinking is a spillover negative effect of lack of workplace connection.

Still, Tang emphasizes that A.I.s impact on work isnt purely harmfulrather, its best characterized by tension. It can make people feel at once more collegial and more detached from their coworkers, and it also has a complicated effect on workplace self-esteem. Using the technology isnt the same as using any other tool, like a calculator or spellcheck. For some, including Tang himself, interacting with A.I. is emotional and confusing.

I had issues with A.I., personally. I experienced a lot of tensions intrapersonally while I was using itI just struggled every moment, Tang told Fortune. Its probably because paradoxical feelings are happening at the same time.

The article likens the current moment in work to the 2009 Bruce Willis film Surrogates, in which humans are completely homebound while A.I. androids complete all work and outside tasks. Humans operate their A.I. surrogates, which are far more capable than them, from the safety and comfort of their houses. 

This movie depicts a sensationalized example of which is becoming a commonplace workplace phenomenonthat many work interactions are not with human coworkers but rather with AI systems that give advice, make decisions, and increasingly are employees primary collaborators in the pursuit of work goals, the article says.

Tangs study was based on a survey of 800 workers in various fields across the U.S., Indonesia, Taiwan, and Malaysia. The findings were published in the Journal of Applied Psychology.

In previous research, Tang has found other examples of the tension A.I. engenders. In a 2022 report, he concluded that using A.I. makes workers feel more confidence in achieving their goals, but also more ambiguity toward whats expected of them.

The technology makes tasks easier, or fully automates some tasks, which can cause psychological conflict. Employees workflow benefits, but they may question their value when technology assumes many of their responsibilities.

However, Tang speculates that the negative social consequences of A.I. may wane in coming decades. Currently, the technologys integration is novel and therefore disruptive, but as A.I. becomes increasingly pervasive, people may be less jarred by its impact.  

Companies may be able to incorporate A.I. in ways that support employee wellness rather than erode it. Tang said that management style is key to a smooth A.I. transition. Tying A.I. into a shared company identity and communicating actively with employees mitigates negative consequences, added said.

I think some leaders tried to sell A.I. to their employees, as its a tool, its a machine, go and use it. I think thats not a very constructive way of incorporating it, Tang said. A better way to do that is through different kinds of intervention, training, or communication from senior leaders. They have to convey that A.I. is actually part of the companys shared vision and goal.
