Tennessee grandmother spent nearly six months in jail after AI facial recognition mistakenly linked her to a North Dakota bank fraud case

This was one million percent written by AI.

The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community

AI is out there telling people to put garlic in their buttholes. Just thought you'd want to know.

This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.

BREAKING: Grammarly is pulling down its explosively controversial feature that impersonates writers without their consent futurism.com/artificial-i...

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

things are going great for the AUSA with fabricated cites and quotes in his filings

This has always been the point of ai being absolutely crammed down our throats. It allows CEOs, policy makers, military officials and people at the top to deflect blame for anything decision they make.

Bluesky - You won’t believe what the UKs defence attaché to the UAE is?? Sandy Sandilands! They send him to the land of sand!

The decline of Facebook, as seen in the percent of @LibraryThing members who sign up using Facebook button—15.6% to 1%, 2014–2025.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google. My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence! go.bsky.app/8cn1XfT

Corey Lewandowski to begin affair with Markwayne Mullin

NOEM TAKING QUESTIONS - DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW SHE WAS FIRED

I definitely don't remember the episode of Gundam where everyone got super religious.

happy 10-year anniversary to this razor-sharp political prognostication

Comin' out of White Base And I've been doin' just fine

Why is this Pikachu cosplaying as Curtis Sliwa?

in 2012, it was six. now it's four.

AI slop is everywhere on Amazon, but especially in children's books. I was looking for something else when this popped up in the sponsored books. 1/

Something something SkyNet something

I imagine it was extremely disturbing

Not sure if this was a phonics thing or if library people were just sassy in the 1980s.

Outlook should have a "wtf" reaction. It would make work emails so much more fun.

This episode is on TV right now, except for some reason they have a weird version where it's his brain that they're worried about. www.tumblr.com/sweartrek/16...

A federal judge, in a published order, so very much on the record: “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

This isn't specific to the current situation and ICE. But it has extra importance now. This is part of basic digital security. DO NOT SCAN QR CODES IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GO.

I have two cats: one who hates being touched and one who headbutts me out of love. I'm not sure if an in-between exists.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

A silly thing about another episode is Kirk says they can install a booster to increase the sensitivity of an auditory sensor by a factor of one to the fourth power. You know, 1 * 1 * 1 * 1

There was a piece of mail in my mailbox postmarked 5 weeks ago that's not even for me. It is for someone at a similar address in a different state.

People didn't take that Access Hollywood tape seriously and now Trump is doing it globally

Never forget that an episode of Star Trek cited Elon Musk as a visionary... and the character who said that line was later revealed to be from the Mirror Universe.

Some days you write good code, and some days you accidentally change the year to 2082. 🤷

Setting a New Year's resolution to not respond to emails while I'm in the middle of something completely unrelated. Starting now.

When you get an email that reads: “Team Snack Sign Up”

About 18 seconds into this news story the reporter says the police AI report writing software erroneously wrote that someone turned into a frog. Yet this is the headline they’re going with.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

you can run the list of all the atrocities DHS and ICE are committing and my rage will rise; but when you get to “cut off aid to Catholic Charities,” well, as someone trafficked away from my family by Catholic Charities I guess I’ll sit on my hands over that one

I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but Google News (for me) often struggles to match the headline and photo from The Daily Beast.
