The Chinese government’s repression of journalists at home is well-known. Less visible is how that machinery now reaches far beyond its borders.

Read the accounts from Journalists who faced intimidation for reporting on human rights abuses tied to China’s ventures in African countries.

I think it would be fun if writers who love language started intentionally writing more strangely as AI flattens written "content" into a mono-voice. it would cool I think if writers responded by focusing their individual efforts on cultivating a really unique voice that's hard to copy

Siri “unintentionally” recorded private convos; Apple agrees to pay $95M Apple users may get $20 each for up to five Siri-enabled devices.

“The only clue that users seemingly had of Siri’s alleged spying was eerily accurate targeted ads that appeared after they had just been talking about specific items like Air Jordans or brands like Olive Garden, Reuters noted”

So non-prestige regional magazines are just fully AI-generated now, huh? This is a profile of a band that does not include:
-any quotes from the members

-any details about them or their music
-the members’ full names lmao

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
