Ok so you know that thing where Facebook shows your friends ads with pictures of your face inserted with AI based on scraping your old photos, well here's the process to opt out of it, which is absolutely insane us.norton.com/blog/ai/how-... you fill out a form from a link buried 3 levels deep

Relevant Prompts
I didn't enter any prompts. Muse used my face in an Al generated ad shown to my friends. I assume this came from photos I uploaded in the past to Facebook or Instagram as I have not posted anything in years.

Screenshot of response
Attach one screenshot that shows yo response from an Al at Meta model, f must be less than 4 MB and saved as WebP file.

Additional context
My friend did not take a screenshot because they were too creeped out.

El BOE nuestro de cada día @elboenuestrodecadadia.es · 30/09/2026

Os dejo por aquí el resumen en imágenes, pero todo está mejor explicado y con más detalle en el texto completo (podéis ir a ver solo las partes que os interesen, que están ancladicas): civio.es/el-boe-nuest...

Un decreto ley, decenas de medidas

La anunciada prohibición de compra de vivienda a fondos buitre tiene muchas excepciones. Cualquier empresa puede comprar muy por debajo del precio de mercado si firma un Código de buenas prácticas con “las autoridades competentes”.
Establece tres tipos de suspensiones de desahucios: si demanda una empresa especuladora, se suspende sin compensaciones, hasta final de 2030; si no lo es, un nuevo sistema estructural obliga a las administraciones a dar alternativa o pagar el alquiler de personas vulnerables para evitar el desahucio; en el resto de casos, y solo si quien demanda tiene tres o más viviendas, se suspende y se les compensa, al menos de forma temporal, y hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2030.
Valida la prórroga de dos años de marzo y aprueba una nueva, que se puede pedir si tu contrato acaba desde mañana hasta diciembre de 2028.
Pone tope a las subidas anuales de renta hasta que acabe 2027: si el alquiler está por encima del índice del Ministerio, no pueden subir nada. Si está por debajo, un máximo del 2%.
Por regla general, y también para contratos anteriores, el tope en la revisión ya no es el IPC, sino el IRAV. También en contratos posteriores.
Regula contratos temporales, que solo pueden serlo si está justificado, y de habitaciones, que entran en la LAU.
Prohíbe las indemnizaciones al casero si te vas antes de que acabe el contrato.
Delimita los gastos que pueden obligar a pagar al arrendatario y nunca se le pueden cobrar los impuestos sobre la casa.

Establece un sistema para obligar al casero a que acepte un presupuesto o proponga una alternativa en casos de desperfectos que afecten a la habitabilidad.
El derecho de tanteo y retracto sigue vigente aunque la vivienda se venda en bloque con otras propiedades y no se podrá renunciar a él en el contrato de arrendamiento.
Bonificaciones fiscales a los caseros, aunque alquilen a precios desorbitados o multipliquen los precios. Si alquilan a jóvenes y es su primera vez, pueden deducirse el 85% poniendo el precio que quieran.
Bonificaciones de una parte del alquiler para quienes cobren menos de 33.000 euros. De un 10% y como máximo, para quienes cobren menos de 23.000, de 1.600 euros al año.
El IVA de los alquileres turísticos sube el 10%.
Préstamos sin intereses para pagar la entrada, pero sin aclarar quiénes podrán acceder.
Permite a los ayuntamientos subir el IBI a los alojamientos turísticos hasta el 150%.
Las SOCIMIS pagarán más impuestos si no dedican el grueso de su parque a vivienda asequible.

excellent community service work here, ladies

Since joining the tech company in 2025, Gary has noticed that naming his employer prompts brutal reactions from prospective paramours. One woman, he says, called him the devil; another asked how he lives with himself. “Sometimes people would just straight up stop talking to me,” he says.

Recently, Gary’s buddies requested he not mention Palantir on their nights out together so as to not tank the whole group’s chances of getting laid. “I get nervous now. I don’t bring it up,” he says. (Gary, along with the other daters in this piece, have been given pseudonyms to protect against professional, if not romantic, repercussions.)

Here are some facts about "watermarking" LLM text. It's impossible to watermark text in a way that would perfectly discriminate between AI and non-AI text because that is just not a function of the text. A person or an LLM can conceivably produce any text. You can only make probabilistic guesses.
