This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

Something about corporate life that is never advertised is you are not up against malicious actors. You are not defeating some malevolent force.
Your opponent is their life without you. Wholly they don't know.
Good luck being a demeaning dipshit to accountants, young colt. I'm sure you'll do fine.

*Do* remember that even a criminal defendant who beats the charges still goes through a traumatic and potentially impoverishing process.

I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"

Odd to see completely AI-generated ragebait like the below now being aimed at American libs, and wonder who's making it and why? Right wing hoaxers? Liberal fantasists? Or just some listless clickfarm in Albania that knows X content will get Y amount of engagement, and churns it out no matter what?

Hiya, this is AI. There are no news reports about this anywhere, nor any confirmation whatsoever from Boston Police Comissioner Michael Cox himself.
There are so many real racist obscenities happening right now that it can be hard to tell what's authentic, but this particular one has been faked.

1/ The 160-page opinion of Judge Jeffrey Brown (a Trump appointee) of the US District Court for the Western District of Texas striking down Texas' mid-decade redistricting includes this hellacious takedown of the memo from Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General (for) Civil Rights.
![It’s challenging to unpack the DOJ Letter because it contains so many factual, legal, and typographical errors. Indeed, even attorneys employed by the Texas Attorney General—who professes to be a political ally of the Trump Administration54—describe the DOJ Letter as “legally[] unsound,”55 “baseless,”56 “erroneous,”57 “ham-fisted,”58 and “a mess.”5](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oaghntcihvzqkirfcn4faarb/bafkreiflauj475wvumldc2lteii4jpuqxubybfw2ebb7fqlnkamfkajbta@jpeg)

There is an ironically fitting level of math illiteracy involved in saying that loosening of math standards in the past few years is why more college students are purportedly unable to do middle school math. When were new college students in middle school, gang?

You may have a misunderstanding from common culture, that computer hacks are novel.
A company reliably patching all their endpoints and operating under even 50% of security guidance are essentially invulnerable.
Few people even hacking them have deep IT skills whatsoever.

In Cinematography interview Tobias described Mensah as the emotional anchor for the show and I agree. I loved her so much, it was so good to see a mature aged woman take co-lead role in a scifi. Noma was amazing in every scene and especially with Murderbot. Again, please #murderbot @marthawells.com

seen some people doing the "do not comply in advance" quote today without understanding that the words 'in advance' refer to something being optional. you can't disobey a court order. that's not complying in advance, that's legal compliance you would be stupid to ignore.
Y'all know that websites comply with subpoenas, right?
That's why it's called a court *order*.
And if you think they don't, yeah they do. They often don't have to tell you they've even done so.
