The NZ Govt is supporting Trump's attempts to circumvent UN governance of the international ocean floor. They are doing this by allowing the Govt owned vessel Tangaroa to work for US mining companies seeking to start mining without UN approval. NZ should be supporting international law.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Trying to remember two (sorta trippy) documentary films I saw in the 2000s(?) by a NZ filmmaker based in Japan. They both dealt with the emergence of a kind of animist digital culture: the internet as a spirit world & other weird fascinating ideas. Anyone know these films (or who made them)?

A chunky green van with a big segmented windscreen is driving fast away from a floating drone that fires a bolt of blue energy past it. The landscape is full of broken concrete.

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.

Post from "The Rundown"

July 18 at 5:30 PM

DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online.
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery.
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material.

A nice piece. At the beginning they aren't sure you even know what a thrift store is. If they haven't already, the feels kick in during the last half, as the selling and buying reasons are a jumping off point for musing on the changes life takes us through. #reuse #recycle #NHK
