Meta earns $3.5 billion every six months from showing Faceboon and Instagram users 15 billion “higher legal risk” scam ad impressions a day, internal documents state. That haul vastly exceeds how much the company expects regulators To fine it for running scam ads. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Denmark eyes new law to protect citizens from AI deepfakes Denmark plans to give citizens copyright over their likeness to ban and force removal of nonconsensual deepfakes (images, video or voice), targeting rising AI-generated abuse and misinformation.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

Just look at those teeeeeeeny weeny little baby red arrows. Can you even find all four?

Call it Operation SNAP election 😉😂

Any Democrat precinct captain or party leader not looking into recall processes and GOP targets of opportunity in their districts today at local, state, & federal levels is a foolio. Roll fast, roll hard, and pin them at the ropes.

Good morning of a setting moon!

SInce many search engines incorporated AI-generated summaries for virtually any request, I have a couple of questions: - AI summary is not a reliable source, so why it is given first, in larger font and with no or hidden warning? - how much energy is being wasted for generation of this nonsense?

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Show me what democracy looks like! THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!

This needs to be interpreted in light of the very smart argument that “nationalizing” regional elections explains the struggles of the Democratic Party. Unlike Republicans, Democrats are *diverse* and should be able to be congruent with their locality— as long as they don’t exclude anyone.

Me to all the rich people saying they would leave NYC if Mamdani got elected:

Everyone is hope scrolling now

What we know, 10:20pm —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, *and* AG —BIG Dem gains in VA House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani wins —Dems keep PA supreme court —Larry Krasner & Bragg win — GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices —JD Vance’s half-brother loses Cincy —Dems sweep Orlando council —ME anti-mail vote measure loses

Bill Ackman gotta be on the third draft of a tweet longer than Middlemarch right now

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

these exit polls are WILD.

Starving people to bend them to your will is pure villain. So villain this is a war crime in international conflict: www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/sites/defaul...

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.

WE HEAR HE'S A FUN GUY! #IRegretNothing You can attend in person or via Zoom! #EvMed

As I am one of the climate scientists he is referring to here - and I am a scientist who decided to dedicate her life to working on climate precisely because of how unjustly it disproportionately impacts the poor and vulnerable - let me clarify my rationale and thoughts below. 🧵

Christ, he is supernaturally good at this.

Excellent paper. I'm increasingly convinced that students are not dedicated to GenAI junk, but if they're being drowned in it, some may feel like they have no choice but to use it. It was the players who ultimately got steroids out of baseball; students will need to help get GenAI out of education.

“The researchers aim to show that the ‘inevitability’ of AI is just a marketing frame perpetrated by the industry and that pushback is a lot more possible than we often see.” Yes!

This is a great resource in precarious times. Tried it for my city and it pulled up all the things I know about + more I didn’t. It finds food pantries, but also stuff like legal help and housing assistance. For those of us more fortunate, great way to find volunteer and donation opportunities.

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

Hey AP headline writer dipshits- the EXIT isn't the crisis, the decades of protection & prestige for Andrew was the crisis.

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI! This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

"And when you're lost in dire need Who's at your side at lightning speed? We're friends of every creature Comin' down the pike In fact we've never met an animal we didn't like So you can see We're friends in need And friends in need, and friends indeed"
