NEW: Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit, AI-generated child sexual abuse material in recent months. Some as recently as this week. "These are ads that were reviewed, approved, and allowed to run by Meta, never encountering interference while the company collected the ad dollars."

Republicans hate women. They hate their healthcare. They hate them having choice. They hate their children the moment they are born. Abortion restrictions are about only one thing: removing women's autonomy. Divorce, financial independence, and the vote are next.

if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.

It keeps happening... It'd be great if these companies could spend a little bit more time on network security and a little less time vibe coding.

if you want to see if a company has any solidarity with workers, start talking to your coworkers about their salaries at the office and see how it goes.

If you work for any studio of any size, your loyalty should never lie with a company. Instead, your loyalty and solidarity should always be with your fellow worker! We deserve better than this! YOU deserve better than this! PLAYERS deserve better than this!

if it's layoffs on ship no matter what, never pay that company for anything. why would you. your money will never reach anyone who worked on what you bought, or respected those people. you'll not be investing in anything in any sense software is on the honour system and these people have no honour

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

This is just rank Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, based on the bigoted idea that there is something inherently scary about a president with the last name "El-Sayed." It is incumbent on all of us to call it out.

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

It’s a direct attack on rule of law from the highest levels, aimed at permanently ending US Constitutional democracy and imposing a dictatorship. Always has been. Anyone who tries treating it as something else—as if they’re dealing with mistaken impressions rather than lies—gets egg on their face.

It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

Trump's approval is worse than Bush in 06, Obama in 10, Biden in 22, or Trump's own in 18, and the House has flipped every single one of those times. Kristol puts Senate control at slightly better than 50-50 for Democrats. The fundamentals still apply. Keep calm and carry on, apparently.

The fundamentals still apply after Tuesday night’s primaries. And they look good for Democrats.

I am still utterly gobsmacked by companies who want to pass themselves off as author-centric thinking that being "AI"-friendly is a good thing. Even the *perception* of being "AI"-friendly is enough to make actual authors avoid your services like the plague.

I recall we had a period of time where the response of Starmer and Cooper to concerns about these groups was ‘I like flags’

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has one of the most "marked for death" guys I've ever seen right at the beginning, it's hilarious. "Well I haven't seen this guy in the promotional material, so he's probably plot fodder." 2 minutes later: "I'm putting in for a transfer so I can make it to retirement." LOL.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
