What the hell is wrong with people? One reason I don’t like pubs is because of the stupid free-for-all system, so it is a GOOD THING if people now queue at the bar to be served.

Clickbait and 'AI slop' distort memory of Holocaust. AFP's Fact Check team has noted a surge of such imagery on social networks, distorting the history of Nazi Germany's murder of six million European Jews during World War II u.afp.com/SBzc

For those who read our piece about crypto scam compound whistleblower Red Bull, I've verified that this is his real Bluesky account below. Thank for your incredible courage and all your work to achieve justice, @mohammadmuzahir02.bsky.social.

This wasn’t easy to share, but it mattered. Thanks to WIRED for documenting what I witnessed. It shows what’s happening behind online scam operations.

"Mr Trump once urged a mob to storm the Capitol ... This year, the argument runs, he could claim that immigrants are trying to vote illegally, post menacing ICE agents at polling stations and so frighten Democrat-supporting ethnic minorities into staying at home."

Generative AI only really "works" when the work is destroying institutions by drowning them in lies presented in the shape of truth That's how it 'works' in governments, universities, media outlets, social media sites, schools, courts, workplaces, etc.

“The Commission has said X has an obligation under the DSA to carry out thorough risk assessments when it comes to illegal content on their platforms, and that the company has failed to include any risk assessment of Grok…or the Grok features integrated into X” potentially harmful to EU citizens

A very Australian development is getting a fairly good op-ed raising awareness about rising insurance premiums from "extreme weather" but no mention of climate change or the underlying cause of this crisis.

Federal agents shot at civilians in their cars at least 15 times since July. We tracked each case. In every instance, feds claimed drivers tried to ram agents. But the claim often falls apart under scrutiny. Crucial investigation by David Noriega for @ms.now www.ms.now/news/federal...

Happy #Hottest100 to those who celebrate. Looking forward to not recognising about 90 songs, and bitching when the few I do know aren’t high enough on the list
