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

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 109 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Not even pretending to give a shit anymore.
“Generative AI can assist our journalists in uncovering the truth and helping more people understand the world. Machine learning already helps us report stories we couldn’t otherwise, and generative AI has the potential to bolster our journalistic capabilities even more…” editorial guidelines say.
New York Times goes all-in on internal AI tools
The company said it was greenlighting a number of AI programs for editorial and product staff.

Democrats moved more swiftly to undermine to college students protesting genocide than Trump’s second administration.

They don’t even have a communication strategy in place! Which is wild because comms is the only lever they have to pull until at least midterms.
“We’re obviously in a bit of disarray,” a Democratic senator told Semafor. “I don’t think people are really completely sure about what lesson is to be learned in this election.”

“Give us a little time,” Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin also said. “This is brand new.”

Nancy Pelosi campaigned AGAINST AOC in favor of Connolly for this position.

It’s not incompetence, it’s open hostility. Having no strategy is a decision.
Trump fired 12 inspectors general last night. Meanwhile the top Democrat in charge of oversight, 74 year old Rep. Gerry Connolly, hasn't done a media hit in over 2 weeks

Please remember that President Carter appointed more minorities and women to the bench than all previous presidents combined. He was the first President to embrace the concept of bringing racial diversity to the federal bench. A key aspect of his legacy.
