like consider policy written to protect women from online harassment. When someone goes, “but how will we differentiate between intent to harm a woman and free speech!!” We can simply say, well, was the intent to harm a woman? And actually be fucking real about it? Why does that seem so far fetched?

Men dox women bc they fear them; because very likely, they too have done something in the past they worry will come to light whether it be bc levels of “acceptable” misogyny are always changing or bc they are simply bad people, likely both, and the look bc threat of justice always hangs over them

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.
Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

The Heritage Foundation laid out how they were going to rescind Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, by first targeting trans people's participation in sport. Capitulating on the human rights of transgender people is catastrophically falling at the first hurdle.

🤖 Meta has signed an AI content licensing deal with Newsmax, giving the tech giant access to the right-wing network’s current reporting and more than two decades of archived material for Meta AI and search features across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

🔹The financial terms were not disclosed but Newsmax shares rose following the July 28 announcement. The deal expands Meta’s push to license real-time news from outlets across the political spectrum, following agreements with CNN, Fox News, USA Today, the Daily Caller, the Washington Examiner and others. 

🔹The partnership has raised concerns because Newsmax repeatedly broadcast false claims that voting technology companies helped rig the 2020 election. The company later paid $40 million to settle Smartmatic’s defamation case and another $67 million to settle with Dominion. 

🔹Critics warn that feeding material from outlets with documented records of spreading misinformation into widely used AI products could give false or misleading claims new reach and an appearance of authority.

HR 9720 is the latest in a pattern of attacks from Congress trying to destabilize DC's finances. DoorDash is supporting the bill because the company doesn't want to pay TWENTY CENTS to restore food access programs for low-income households. DoorDash's revenue in the last 12 months was $14.72B.

For the last year and a half, DoorDash has been silent as delivery drivers in DC have been hunted in the streets and even killed by ICE and other federal police. Now, the company has come out in support of #HR9720 — the blatant attack on DC Home Rule — just so it can earn more money.

fields. Instead, he apparently laced into the company. According to the Financial Times, Eggers told the staff:

“The effect of ChatGPT on educators’ lives is catastrophic. Whether you intended to do it or not, you’ve made every teacher’s life infinitely more difficult than it was two years ago. So, just let that settle in… If students are using it to compose, which is the biggest tragedy of all, they’ll never learn to write. And their voice is stolen from them. They’ll never have the ability to say their truth and tell their own story. And that’s silencing an entire generation or two.”

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.
