Only one Olympic pair, the Czech brother-sister pair of Daniel Mrázek and Katerina Mrázeková, skated to AI music. But they ran into a problem — the first time they asked AI to spit out a 1990s song, it plagiarized the lyrics to an actual awesome 1990s song, “You Get What You Give” by the New Radicals. (A true banger, maybe my favorite 1990s song, tbh.) The video is STUNNING, I have no idea how they thought they could get away with it. For the Olympics, they swapped that one out for a new AI song, which also sucks but isn’t directly stolen from anybody.

wild AI story from the Olympics
ice dancers were told to use songs "in the style of the 1990s." One Czech pair tried using AI to pump out a song to skate to, but their AI bot fully plagiarized "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals and they had to change it

ooooof

Here is the Czech pair dancing to their AI rip-off of You Get What You Give, replaced for the Olympics by an AI song with “original” lyrics that sounds pretty much the same

“Please put this pedophile issue to rest so we can work with you“ is mealy, good-faith garbage that would be shocking from anyone but the guy who said “Let’s stop this impeachment proceeding because I want to go home for Valentine’s Day.”

ICE says it's going after "criminals and terrorists." Listen to an imprisoned Irish citizen with a valid work permit describe the ICE concentration camp he's been thrown into.

Rep. Thanedar asks Lyons and Scott if they think Trump will pardon them and Noem.

Scott: "I don't need a pardon from anybody."

Thanedar: "You better hope so because you will be held accountable for the absolute disregard of the law your agencies have shown over the past year."

Q: Did Alex Pretti deserve to die?

Scott: "I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation."

Q: Did Renee Good desrve to die?

Lyons: "I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation."

Todd Lyons, Trump's ICE chief, is testifying this morning in a House hearing.

Lyons will say in his opening remarks that ICE is somehow the victim of ICE's reign of terror and violence in Minnesota, not the immigrants too traumatized to go outside or the American citizens ICE/CBP have killed.

I'm grateful that Kyle surfaced all these extraordinary opinions slamming the Trump administration for the illegal detention of immigrants. This one leaps out in part because the judge is warning us that abuses being inflicted on immigrants now are a preview of what could be unleashed on citizens.

U.S. Boat Strike Kills 2 in Pacific, With One Survivor

“A broad range of legal specialists on the use of lethal force have said that the U.S. strikes are illegal, extrajudicial killings because the military cannot deliberately target civilians who do not pose an imminent threat of violence, even if they are suspected of engaging in criminal acts.”

The strike in the eastern Pacific, the third on suspected drug trafficking boats this year, was the second authorized by Gen. Francis L. Donovan, the new head of the Southern Command.

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

Pardoned insurrectionists commit crimes at a higher rate than immigrants.

I don’t understand either.
