New: 404 Media obtained footage of investigation and arrest of a cop who used police surveillance databases and license plate cameras to surveil and stalk a woman. "We’ve told them over and over again 'You see a hot chick, you don’t look them up in a database.'" www.404media.co/i-saw-a-shin...

'I Saw a Shiny Thing': Cop Explains Why He Used License Plate Reader to Stalk Woman

Body camera footage shows police surveillance abuse is common: "We’ve told them over and over again: 'You see a hot chick, you don’t look them up in a database.'"

I cannot stress enough: the AI bubble has already popped it is just being kept on life support by corporations trying to squeeze even a dollar more out of their shit investment, and tech bros doing the same before abandoning their shit company startups. keep hating on AI, you're winning

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

Wasn't this a controversial "radical Left" position like 6 months ago? Make no mistake: Progressives did this. This is their win. Celebrate. You deserve it. Then keep fighting for Supreme Court reform, abolishing the filibuster, and Medicare for All.

BREAKING: the Democratic National Committee just unanimously approved a resolution calling for the abolition of ICE! After terrorizing our friends, families, and neighbors, ICE has no place in our nation. I'm grateful @democrats.org agreed. Now we're onto the hard work to make that happen!

Hannah MacLeod is looking for work@macleodholdfast.bsky.social · last wk.

I feel like we need a reminder sometimes, so there is no amount of extra hours you could've worked to keep from getting laid off. Seniority, company loyalty, importance to the project - none of it matters when you're a number on a spreadsheet. Anyone telling you different is selling something.

Everyone involved has made a choice to endanger trans people. Many of us make moral compromises in our work and lives, but this is direct and unambiguous evil as the effects of making her wealthy directly translate to cruelty.

Sam Adams@samadams.bsky.social · last wk.

Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

Hi, your local disabled person who survived DV and stalking here—this is really bad! “Repeat calls” does not indicate the danger is less. Sometimes it’s more. (Especially the more stalkers get away with stuff, the bolder they get.)

“The new tool is called AI Emergency Call Triage, offered by a company called Carbyne. Its function is essentially to triage incoming calls to dispatchers, bumping high-priority emergency calls to humans, and automatically handling repeat calls related to ongoing incidents…”

Gavin Newsom is trying to sneak through an SCE-sponsored bill that aims to make it impossible to sue your utility company when they burn your house down. It also adds a $100/year "pay for the next fire we inevitably start" surcharge to your power bill. www.latimes.com/california/s...

L.A. fire survivors say Newsom is trying to help utilities reduce their wildfire costs again

Survivors and the insurance industry slam purported last-minute bills to shift wildfire costs away from utilities.

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

This is a pretty good summary of why this stuff has zero appeal to anyone who actually enjoys making anything, and there will never be anything Ai companies can do about that. (Green absolutely torching his own credibility is just an astonishing unforced error. Write your own words!)

New from 404 Media: Apple's 'Private Relay' is exposing users' real IP addresses. Private Relay is supposed to protect all your browsing in Safari. But researchers found a bunch of issues that are exposing real IPs. I verified they do. Not fixed, a live issue www.404media.co/apples-priva...

Apple's ‘Private Relay’ Is Exposing Users' Real IP Addresses

Researchers found a group of issues that mean Private Relay isn't actually protecting users' real IP addresses. 404 Media verified the issues do expose IP addresses.

Devs, pay attention to who is actually, practically offering support to our laid off colleagues. It’s not the companies, it’s not the ESA, it’s the union, it’s us.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.
