Last month, nearly 11,000 UCS supporters called on NERC to establish strong reliability requirements for large data centers. NERC is the organization responsible for developing and enforcing reliability standards for the US power grid. 💡Why does this matter? 🧵

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

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.

People are showing up to court in Massachusetts for minor issues and being kidnapped by ICE. I hope the legislature moves quickly on several pending pieces of legislation that will limit ICE's ability to operate in courthouses, including expanding virtual hearing access.

$Jeanneth’s husband walked into Lynn District Court last September to dispute a minor civil infraction — a light out on his car. As he left his hearing, he video-chatted with Jeanneth. That’s when she saw four immigration agents detain him. There were four more outside. “I saw the security officers at the court, then the ICE officers, and he said to me, ‘Please, take care of the children.’ And then they took away his phone,” she said.$

He was detained at Plymouth, transferred to Louisiana and Texas, and eventually deported to Guatemala. Jeanneth says he has no previous criminal record or charges, and had a notice to appear. in immigration court, standard practice for immigrants. He had a special immigrant juvenile visa for immigrants who come to the U.S. as a youth, and had a pending immigration court hearing to adjust his status.

To everyone out there who defends and encourages reliance on generative AI: I want you to explain to me how software systems that do this is not just defensible but something good and to be encouraged. Go on. Explain it to me, right now. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Seeing the same burial image on social media, others turned to X’s AI assistant Grok to check its veracity. Like Gemini, Grok will breezily assure you the photo is not from Iran at all – although it lands on a different date, disaster and location. The image is “from Rorotan Cemetery in Jakarta, Indonesia – a July 2021 stock photo of Covid mass burials. Not Minab,” it says.

In both cases, the AI answers sound sure: they don’t equivocate, and even provide “sources” for the original image, should you choose to check them. Follow the thread to examine those, however, and you’ll begin to hit dead ends: either the image doesn’t appear at all, or the link provided is to a news report that doesn’t exist. For all their impression of clarity and precision, the AIs are simply wrong.

The cemetery image, it turns out, is authentic. Researchers have cross referenced the photo of the site with satellite images that confirm its location, and it can be cross-referenced again with dozens more images taken of the same site from slightly different angles, and again with video footage – none of which experts say show signs of tampering or digital manipulation. The “factchecks” by Gemini and Grok are just one example of a tidal wave of AI-generated slop – hallucinated facts, nonsense analysis and faked images – that are engulfing coverage of the Iran war. Experts say it is wasting investigative time and risks atrocities being denied – as well as heralding alarming weaknesses as people increasingly rely on AI summaries for news and information.
