I really can't emphasize enough that OpenAI is, as Dr. Gilliard has described in the past, a social arsonist enabling racism, and I urge colleagues in education using OpenAI's products - including ed-tech platforms that incorporate its products like Khanmigo and MagicSchool - to stop.
Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.
Racist Influencers Using OpenAI's Sora to Make it Look Like Poor People Are Selling Food Stamps for Cash
Folks looking for evidence of SNAP recipients as welfare queens have no shortage of AI generated schlock to use as justification.

ICE agents are seizing more people from jails in the Austin area, sometimes visiting the facilities multiple times per day as the Trump administration ramps up immigration enforcement nationwide.
ICE is removing more people from Austin’s jails. Sometimes coming twice a day.
Data shows a growing number of people in Travis County jails find themselves facing deportation after sometimes routine run-ins with the police.

Shout out to the NBA for charging me $300 per season for one of the worst apps possible. No ability to click on any button/link to actually watch the game. It says to watch on ESPN…which is blacked out in Australia. The whole pre season was a mess too. Get it together NBA.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.
I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.
Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”
