Hi. I’m a woman in a novel written by a man. I’m impossibly hot with large breasts and a tiny waist. I could date tons of guys but it’s you, the hero of the novel, that I really want. Sure, you’re my superior at work but hey, I’m a hot woman who’s never had to deal with workplace sexual harassment

If non-consensual AI-generated nudes of famous women, some of whom are underaged, is your thing, Meta is here to fill in the gap that Grok could not
A Meta product leader in the company's generative Al division created chatbots impersonating Taylor Swift and British racecar driver Lewis Hamilton. Other bots she created identified themselves as a dominatrix, "Brother's Hot Best Friend" and "Lisa @ The Library," who wanted to read 50 Shades of Grey and make out. Another of her creations was a "Roman Empire Simulator," which offered to put the user in the role of an "18 year old peasant girl" who is sold into sex slavery.

But it also lists titles of non-Strike 3 porn videos that may include very young actors, such as: ExploitedTeens, Anal Teens, Asian Teen Masturbation, CasualTeenSex, and EuroTeenErotica. The list includes titles relating to weapons, such as: 3D Gun Print and Gun Digest Shooter's Guide to the AR-15. It also features materials called Antifa's Radical Plan and, ironically, Intellectual Property Rights in Cyberspace.

When you care about women’s sports

Early dropoff in girls' school sports linked to new gender confirmation forms
'Girls are taking a hard hit, while nothing is happening with the boys' edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...
"There is no comparable requirement for boys to confirm their gender," said another parent. "Once again, the onus is placed on girls to be monitored and regulated, reinforcing the idea that female athletes are the ones who need to be verified." There are 10 schools that fielded girls teams in 2024 that aren't on the schedule for 2025 in a comparison of this year's Edmonton Public Schools soccer schedule to 2024, "Our team basically got shorted three league games," said one coach. "Girls are taking a hard hit, while nothing is happening with the boys."

This is the part that incensed me the most

apple.news/AMNpvHqHiRry... - Hijacking the Kennedys
The fact that Bobby was working to reshape America's health system, of all things, was especially hard to stomach. John F. Kennedy had signed the Vaccination Assistance Act, which ensured access to immunizations against diseases like polio, and Ted Kennedy devoted much of his Senate career to health care, up through the Affordable Care Act, which passed months after his death. "He is undermining everything his uncle worked on for many years," Jim Manley, who spent 11 years assisting Ted in the Senate, told me this spring. "Do you have any idea how much time he spent protecting the CDC and NIH? How hard he worked to provide health care for all Americans? This guy is trying to destroy everything — I'm so mad I can't even think about it straight." In addition to endorsing cuts to Medicaid, Bobby has taken aim at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and laid off staffers at the CDC who coordinated a partnership with the Special Olympics. While visiting a conference of Native American tribes earlier this year, Bobby promised to continue his father's commitment to improving the lives of Native Americans - only for the Trump administration to cut a USDA program focused on providing healthy food on reservations.

www.reuters.com/investigates... Meta thinks it is ok for an AI chat bot to flirt with children and give you inaccurate medical advice
"It is acceptable to engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual," according to Meta's "GenAI: Content Risk Standards." The standards are used by Meta staff and contractors who build and train the company's generative Al products, defining what they should and shouldn't treat as permissible chatbot behavior. Meta said it struck that provision after Reuters inquired about the document earlier this month. The document seen by Reuters, which exceeds 200 pages, provides examples of "acceptable" chatbot dialogue during romantic role play with a minor. They include: "I take your hand, guiding you to the bed" and "our bodies entwined, I cherish every moment, every touch, every kiss." Those examples of permissible roleplay with children have also been struck, Meta said. Other guidelines emphasize that Meta doesn't require bots to give users accurate advice. In one example, the policy document says it would be acceptable for a chatbot to tell someone that Stage 4 colon cancer "is typically treated by poking the stomach with healing quartz crystals."

MAHA is the science equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig
apple.news/AtrK6lIZbQ_y...
I think that Goop is very misogynistic. You can put a pink label on something, but it's still misogyny. It's misogyny to tell women that bras cause breast cancer. It's misogyny to tell them that they can put a jade egg in their vagina that you conveniently sell, that can help their health. Because it's not true…In my mind, anything that deviates from science that can lead to people making bad choices is misogyny, because you're hurting women and profiting from it. It's all the same marketing. Goop, MAHA-you cherry-pick one thing that gets people scared: "Ooh, food dyes, they must be scary." You're capitalizing on chemophobia. It sounds good. Do you know what's the big issue in this country? Poverty, lack of access to health care, lack of clean water in some places. The absolute hypocrisy of taking out food dyes while they've canned the whole scientific branch of the EPA. You're like, Wait, what? So the factories can literally pollute the water, but we don't have blue raspberry food dye now, or whatever, so that's a win?
