had a feeling they'd back down from this (because they love to troll, shock, and demoralize decent people, and they are *also* liars and cowards who care about almost nothing); of course they will never admit how disgusting it was to suggest livestreaming an execution in the first place

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

any interest I could have in AI as something cool (I have been on computer since the 80s, online since the 90s) has been swiftly eclipsed by its corporate purveyors’ strip mining of what I love (writing, reading) and how I love to do it (good labor conditions for all)

I don’t imagine a Hispanic man who spent years in San Quentin is pro police/pro ICE but that would require even 5 seconds of critical thinking which the internet hates

Character.AI, which was valued at more than $1b in 2023, is bankrupt. CAI's founders once argued that they were building superintelligence. The startup went on to face wrongful death lawsuits, safety concerns, financial struggles, and user-hated platform changes: futurism.com/artificial-i...

Character.AI is a fascinating case study of the early AI era. It was the first company to face allegations of psychological harm and wrongful death to users, claims that other major players in the industry are now battling too. Yet in attempting, eventually, to make its freewheeling platform safer, it also made it unusable and deeply frustrating for much of its userbase — suggesting that the qualities that allegedly made its platform so dangerous to some young users were the same features that made it compelling.

At the same time, despite immense investments, it struggled to do something that, from a business perspective, is pretty important: make money. And unfortunately for the broader AI industry — and the American economy — that specific issue isn’t unique to Character.AI.

You may have seen a viral picture of actress Mia Goth seemingly referencing her recent divorce filing. It was posted by an Instagram page w/ 1M+ followers and a blue checkmark. It was AI. Here's a story about multiple systems of verification/trust failing: www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

“Mia Goth does not have ownership of, nor does she engage in social media on any platform. We have filed multiple complaints with Instagram to remove the verified fan account which continues to post counterfeit, AI images of Mia Goth,” Christine Tripicchio, a representative for Goth, told The Verge in an email. “The fact that this fan account meets Instagram’s criteria to qualify for a ‘blue check’ is disconcerting on a fundamental level. Beyond that, it is incomprehensible that Instagram evidently prioritizes the dissemination of forged and manipulated images over the protection and integrity of a public figure’s likeness.”

Reading Brianna Nofil’s fantastic book “The Migrant Jail” & this is what she has to say about immigration detention already in the first half of the 20th century

Towns and cities throughout the United States recognized detained migrants as a racialized source of financial capital; working with the immigration service became a way to bankroll carceral expansion without requiring the approval (or even the tax dollars) of voters.

Wall Street Journal reported on a 2024 New Year’s Eve celebration where Ken Paxton partied in Dubai with two fugitives and a woman who wasn’t his wife www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

"As fireworks exploded over the Burj Khalifa skyscraper to welcome 2025, Paxton and his girlfriend Tracy Duhon watched from a luxury high-rise balcony full of people, according to a video of the gathering reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, details of which were contained in court filings and confirmed by people familiar with the matter.

Among those at the event with Texas’ top law-enforcement official were two Americans who had been indicted months before on federal healthcare-fraud charges but failed to return to the U.S., Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, according to the court records and people familiar with the matter. Ahmed, a healthcare executive, had donated $190,000 to Paxton, campaign finance records show, including $25,000 days after he was indicted."

Happy Columbo day to those who celebrates.

Life-sized bronze statue of Columbo, portrayed in his signature disheveled trench coat, standing and scratching his head in a thoughtful pose. In front of him, there is a smaller statue of his loyal basset hound, sitting and looking up at him. The statues are placed on a sidewalk in an urban area with trees and parked cars lining the street.

What Cage has done for literally the past decade is exactly this, he finds a weird eccentric script by a first time filmmaker, signs on, his name brings in clout, he makes the film, and sometimes it's not very good. But it's still artistic as hell. This is why I *love* Cage.

After seeing MUSK yesterday, it's a tad bizarre to drive by Crockett Center (or whatever the building off 290E east of 35 is called now) and see the lot packed full of new/unsold Tesla cars. Guess it's being used as an overload lot 🤷‍♀️

‘14th’ Review: Ava DuVernay’s Birthright Citizenship Documentary Flounders “may as well be necromancy, forcing digital dimensions upon the dead and turning them into simulacrums” Really disappointing to see filmmakers use AI at all, let alone this way www.thewrap.com/creative-con...

Twitch streamers. It's nothing if not self-defeating, much like the movie's use of old photographs of enslaved and newly emancipated African Americans, which it grants three dimensions and even movements through eerie digital effects. The desire to view the dehumanized with the human familiarity they deserve is a noble aim, but this sort of manipulation - by generative A.I. studio Asteria - may as well be necromancy, forcing digital dimensions upon the dead and turning them into simulacrums. It's uncomfortable at best, but at least it's a minor issue by runtime, compared to the movie's larger structural problems.

Being a sentient person in 2026 means arguing in public for issues you never thought you would have to articulate out loud: "Read to your children yourself instead of outsourcing it to a robot!" "Don't televise executions!" Things like that.

I don't want to dunk-quote on this person, but actually, this is a perfect illustration of the problem. we can't become accustomed to or expect or concede constant monitoring from armed troops as we go about our business. it should always make us recoil. there's danger in it becoming unremarkable.

screenshot of a post that reads "Not to be all "you're getting sold" National Guard troops spend all day standing in out of the way corners of DC. Not great that they're standing in front of a ballot drop box, but c'mon, people, use some common sense. They're not stopping anyone from dropping something off." it is a quote-post of a post from the DC Council that says "this is clearly not acceptable" and features a photo of national guard members standing around a ballot box in Foggy Bottom
