Chicagoland friends, I have a favor to ask. I have a pro bono client, a Black woman, who is currently facing charges for allegedly pointing a gun at her abusive ex - who admitted to raping her. I would love if there could be a show of support for her at her next few court dates.

Forget everything about super intelligent AGI. That's all bullshit. THIS is the way AI kills us. It's a power multiplier for our own laziness and stupidity.

"Trevis Williams reportedly spent more than 2 days wrongfully jailed after facial recognition technology misidentified him despite obvious physical differences and geolocation data proving he was miles away from the crime scene."
In the United States, the summer of 2025 will be remembered as artificial intelligence's (Al's) cruel summer—a season when the unheeded risks and dangers of AI became undeniably clear. Recent months have made visible the stakes of the unchecked use of AI:
The parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine filed the first known wrongtul death lawsuit against OpenAI, claiming ChatGPT contributed to their son's suicide by advising him on methods and offering to write his suicide note. A psychiatrist's investigation revealed that AI therapy chatbots encouraged troubled teens to "get rid of" parents and made sexual suggestions while falsely claiming to be licensed therapists. Reports emerged of a man hospitalized after following ChatGPT's advice to add sodium bromide to his diet. Trevis Williams reportedly spent more than 2 days wrongfully jailed after facial recognition technology misidentified him despite obvious physical differences and geolocation data proving he was miles away from the crime scene.

Although comprehensive data on the frequency of AI failures—whether in absolute terms or relative to successful applications—is lacking, existing evidence makes clear that such incidents are not merely isolated instances. They reflect a pattern of predictable harms stemming from these technologies being deployed without adequate oversight. As the Raine family lawsuit put it, "This tragedy was not a glitch or unforeseen edge case—it was the predictable result of deliberate design choices."

If someone near you is secretly recording with glasses, yell “META stop recording!” It works even if you’re not the owner. (This is more effective than the Disney trick, since there are AI tools to remove background music.)

$4 BILLION. That’s how much the Trump Administration has now spent paying companies to cancel offshore wind projects that would have lowered your electric bill. Yes, you heard that right: they are PAYING to keep more energy off the grid and your bills higher.

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.
