Children CAN NOT seduce, or entice adults. YOU are thee adult. It is YOUR job to understand what’s inappropriate and act a-fucking-ccordingly. Kids are learning themselves, their bodies, and their emotions. Your grown ass knows better.

U.S. police kill civilians at a rate nearly incomparable to other wealthy democracies. It's not just "a few bad apples."
Graph showing that U.S. police kill civilians at a much higher rate (33.5 per 10 million) than Canada (9.8), Australia (8.5), The Netherlands (2.3), New Zealand (2.0), Germany (1.3), England & Wales (0.5), Japan (0.2), Iceland(0.0), and Norway (0.0).

This is bad journalism. It cannot be overstated how much harm has been caused by lumping "LLM driven toxic bullshit" in with the traditional understanding of AI as a computer science discipline. The tools and techniques described in this article have nothing to do with LLM-based systems.

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist".
In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house."
In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep."
In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house.
In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Second person says "No, you haven't."
First person says "How do you know?! I challenge you to find an error in my math!"

Another platform where Black folks and the sauce they bring are exploited, until they yet again become digital refugees fleeing from harassment and violence because of the lack of access to safety tools that prioritize them. Black folks deserve a culture of digital safety. It’s time for change.

I mean yeah, a decade of no one holding Trump accountable for his much more obvious crimes, combined with both Nazi and Confederate rehabilitation projects on the right, was always going to lead to “actually we’ve never done ANYTHING wrong and you guys owe us apologies for every check on our power”
