Starting January 1st, California will mandate that any use of AI-altered real estate photos in listings be disclosed, and that a link to the unaltered image be included.

It will be a criminal offense to fail to make this disclosure.

Do you want lower rates of "crime"?

Do you want increased childhood development and well-being?

Do you want lower rates of homelessness?

Do you want to reduce overdose deaths?

Do you want these things cheaper than ever?

Then give people housing, food, schooling, medicine, and support, for free.

I hope seeing Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive will convince some of you to stop preemptively declaring people dead. I know it comes from a place of fear, but cynicism and pessimism can demobilize people and lead folks to give up before a fight is lost. Let's not seed that attitude.
