Complete horseshit that a film made with AI can mysteriously pull ahead towards the last stretch. 100% bot-behavior.

Go find a *human-made* film that looks interesting to you (specifically Olivia's), vote and share it around!

You cant spell LIAR without AI.

So let's blow them the fuck out.

Just fucking leave twitter already.
Users are noticing Twitter/X has added a Grok-powered AI image editor that lets anyone edit any image on the platform, including other people’s artwork using text prompts.

Artists warn there’s no opt-out or consent, raising concerns over unauthorized edits and misuse.

Get off Twitter. And destroy AI.
Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Literally having trouble thinking of an institutional sector — journalism, education, government, health care — that ISNT being run by people who actively hate the work it does
Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

AI consumed as much water as the water bottle industry this year.

It also created as much carbon pollution as New York City, according to a new study.

"[Elon probably] knew it would be horrifying to others. But he decided that it was a better approach to shut it down, fire everybody, shut them out, and then go rebuild."

A test of whether the U.S. can recover its moral health after all this is whether we hold Elon Musk, genocidaire, accountable.
This is horrible. Trump and his crew shut down USAID, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and they had no idea what they were doing or what would be the consequences. Completely immoral.

Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Open industry secret: most political non-fiction books get purchased by foundations or non-profits to be given out with giftbags at events. 100,000 people aren't buying a book by Lauren Boebert on the future of America. GOP operatives are and giving them away for free as "gifts." BEST SELLER!

In January, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services will roll out a pilot program that will use AI to review Medicare patients' requests for care.

91% of Somali-Americans are citizens

They’d have a significantly better chance of finding non-citizen immigrants if they just went to the mall and grabbed random people
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
