'In many ways, Meta and OpenAI’s new platforms (AI-generated content is already rife on TikTok and YouTube) are a fitting endpoint for social media’s warped evolution from a place where people swapped updates with friends and family, to one with less and less human-to-human interaction.'

ICE deteve a diretora brasileira durante entrevista para obtenção do green card: "Ao final do que nos disseram ter sido uma reunião bem-sucedida, o policial usou a desculpa de uma copiadora quebrada para enganá-la e fazê-la se afastar do nosso advogado. Uma vez separada de seu adv, ela foi presa."
Finally Barbara’s story is getting national attention. New update from her gofundme: she is now in a Louisiana ICE processing center after three days of travel in shackles. She’s sleeping on the floor and has been denied care for her medical condition.
