"look, if you've done nothing wrong then you've got nothing to hide" - something NSW cops say minors they're about to strip search, but not senior police, apparently.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if AI can't improve productivity of coding, then all other claims about productivity improvements are essentially horseshit. Coding was the one thing everyone was like "well yeah of course it will be able to do that faster"

The French police are so militarized they blew up a 15-yr-old’s hand and took the eye of another one. Why are grenades being used to quell student protestors who are unarmed? Now the labour unions are stepping in to protect the students

Niger’s crackdown on asexual “practices” is not isolated to the West African nation - it’s part of a greater trend of anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric worldwide

Why Niger explicitly criminalising asexuality is significant to everyone, regardless of identity
To understand Nigers asexuality criminalisation, we should see this law as part of a bigger – and growing – global trend among conservatives about 'traditional families'

i don't imagine there are news outlets that would be interested since it only affects twitch streamers and we are lower than dirt, but the new AI "content warnings" that twitch has introduced for sponsored streams are crazy. it monitors what you're saying and pings you if you say a word like "beer"

When you send a bug report to Unity, there's a heavily-recommended option to pack up and include a snapshot of the unity project. They send the whole thing, gigs of assets and all. Thinking about all the projects I sent copies to Unity over the years this way. I wonder if they were used for training

The only obituary for Cristiano Ronaldo's career should be this
"In the documents dated from September 2009 and seen by Der Spiegel, though, Ronaldo was quoted as saying “she said no and stop several times” during sex. He is also said to have apologised afterwards."

Last spring I was asked to write a piece with tips on how to suss out AI-generated images. I countered that that premise weakens democracy by promoting the idea that everyone can claim expertise regardless of their credentials, a key tenet of anti-democratic technoutopianism. What strikes me now…1/n
An excerpt of my piece for Art in America: 
At some point, every person needs to accept that they cannot claim impartiality or universal expertise: I cannot tell if a bridge is safe to drive over or determine whether my lettuce contains E. coli. So I value agencies and organizations that employ experts who can. The same goes for the sources of information I consume, including those that provide images illustrating current events, who should be responsible for doing the provenance research outlined here. That's as far as my own provenance research can go.
One model for alleviating the paranoia may be as simple as supporting news agencies and image archives that employ professionals to authenticate the images they reproduce. The Associated Press has now shown this can be done.
If this seems impractical, I have to ask: what's more impractical, strengthening journalistic integrity, or requiring that all consumers of news become their own digital forensics experts?

A 'lifelong Labor voter' just concerned about the power of the union movement and convinced the party of capital doesn't have any money. He is suck a fucking dickhead.

It's important people can protest at any time. any legislated restriction on our right to tell the government to go fuck itself is a winding back of human rights that have been enshrined in law for generations. Every social reform ordinary people have won over centuries flows from this basic right

depths of wikipedia @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
wikipedia has been ANNIHILATED with AI bot traffic for a while now (because LLMs can't get enough of it) which puts a huge burden on its tech and server costs. and now it looks like bots are making unauthorized edits to pages and trying to hack community tools diff.wikimedia.org/2026/10/05/o...
Wiki editing: We’ve identified edits to Wikimedia wikis that we believe are from AI agents operated by OpenAI. These edits were not published to pages with visibility to general readers; almost all of them were testing edits in “sandbox” areas of the wiki. It also included a few edits to the configuration for a citation tool, which we believe were potentially malicious edits that were intended to misuse this tool as a proxy for fetching data from remote services. While Wikipedia policies allow bots to edit when they are disclosed and approved by the community, none of those approvals were sought in these incidents.
Etherpad probing and use: Agents we believe to be operated by OpenAI made some unsuccessful attempts to compromise our public Etherpad, a note-taking tool we host as a community service. Agents unsuccessfully tried to use it to fetch data from other websites as a proxy. Other agents also likely operated by OpenAI took notes about their tasks, though this did not appear to turn into coordination.
Excessive data downloading: Agents we believe to be operated by OpenAI made millions of automated requests to our public APIs to access the knowledge on Wikimedia projects, crawled millions of pages (mainly from our projects Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons), and made hundreds of thousands of data queries to the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS). This traffic may have contributed to a partial outage on WDQS in May. Wikimedia’s volunteers are the ones who come in first contact with, and clean up the mess left behind by AI agents. Rising bot traffic and agentic activity is showing a real impact on the Wikimedia projects and the infrastructure that makes it available for millions of users globally. In 2025, the Foundation reported that its bandwidth usage had increased by 50% due to the surge of bot activity on its websites since 2024. At the same time, 65% of the most resource-consuming traffic on its projects was coming from bots.
