Hackers Had A Live Feed Of Every ID This Verification Company Scanned. For Over A Year.

From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it "age" verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we've been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen.

Something very funny is that he looks at climate disasters on a warming planet and he's like no way, no chance, that's absurd and then he looks at grainy photos of blurs and he's like HOLY SHIT ALIENS RIGHT THERE Please watch the video to enjoy in full www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExT1...

So the "US is hiding 12 alien spacecraft" guy is calling somebody talking about climate-change related disasters a grifter? Is it just me to imagine how the world could be a much better place without all those shameless liars and billionaire propagandists like Shellenberger getting all attention?

none of the original devs and writers are on this and its being worked on with some vague AI engine, just save your money for something like Stupid Never Dies in 6 weeks or just emulate the original game with all the license music and costumes on the ps3 emulator, it's surprisingly easy to do.

Mayor Mamdani: AI is present in nearly every aspect of our lives. I am proud to announce New York City's first ever AI policy for our public schools. Children need teachers and human connection to learn and grow. This school year, we will implement a 1 year moratorium on AI from 2k through 8th grade

social media but pirates

the speed at which everyone forgets is utterly shocking to me - it's basically just a single election cycle no matter how bad the damage is george w bush ran the country into a ditch, covered it in petrol and set it on fire and two years later republicans gained 63 seats in the midterms
