This morning, Ms. Rachel and I visited District 2 Pre-K Center, where we sang and read with the wonderful students and educators. We also discussed universal childcare - and how we're making it happen for NYC!

I think it's a bad sign that every major news media outlet has spent days asking whether or not murder is bad and how much child porn is an okay amount

Between Fortnite and Roblox , we should probably be worried the dudes making the biggest games for children right now both seem unbothered with child exploitation 🧐🧐

The double whammy of Discord moving towards an IPO and sending out a survey to see what sort of AI garbage they could get away with sends a pretty clear message about where they want to go.

This survey was very easy to answer, I recommend you fill it out and let Discord know how you feel about AI.

As someone who has reported on deepfakes for years now, I’ve had a few moments while reporting on Grok where I feel sick to my stomach thinking about the continued escalation of sexual abuse with this technology and where it’s going. We’re not ready for this. And it didn’t have to be this way.

This is explicitly the case with Tim Sweeney and Epic and you can just kinda assume with any other publicly traded company/company looking for investment that investors all just want the AI bubble inflated

We live in a world where men like Tim Sweeney can advocate for protecting consent-free, child-inclusive porn generators under free speech without paying an economic cost for it, but a teacher talking about how they spent their weekend on their private Facebook can be blacklisted from her profession.

“Technology is moving too fast” is such a bad excuse. I’ve been discussing issues in LLMs & image gen since 2018/19. Twitter/X is 20 years old! Scholars, think tanks & even industry have been warning about these issues for *years*. It’s not “too fast,” it’s that you haven’t been listening!

From 30 years of being an adult leftist: there is no amount of polite respectability that will keep centrists from saying you’re being rude to them by existing and no amount of overt Nazi shit from the right that will make centrists agree to even moderate concessions to the left.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?

It’s clear that what Grok and X have done goes against a multitude of EU and Irish regulations and maybe even criminal law, as reported in recent days, writes Adrian Weckler. But do we, as a political and civic society, have the courage to follow through on enforcing that law?

Adrian Weckler: Why aren’t we doing more to stop Grok’s virtual pornification?
As you read this, thousands of images of women and girls – maybe people you know – are being virtually undressed by Grok, Elon Musk’s AI engine that operates publicly on the social media platform, X.

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.
