Nothing quite like the shame of having to explain to a radiographer why you got a microchip implanted in your hand so you could buy a KitKat from a vending machine in Wisconsin for a story 10 years go

February, truly the asshole of months, is vanquished for another year.
OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

Sam Altman picked a hell of a day to basically urge the world to trust the morality and legal restraint of the Department of Defense
NEW @bloomberg.com feature on Stake: the world's largest crypto casino. Our year-long piece dives into Stake employing superstar influencers such as Drake and Adin Ross to livestream gambling. By @cecianasta.bsky.social @oliviasolon.bsky.social and myself: www.bloomberg.com/features/202...
Stake says influencers like Drake and Adin Ross don’t win more than the average gambler. We ran the numbers, and guess what :)
Here's our year-long data investigation into Stake and Kick's influencer empire, with @oliviasolon.bsky.social and @leonyin.bsky.social: www.bloomberg.com/features/202...
There is a lot to find darkly comic in the Epstein files. What struck me in this @oliviasolon.bsky.social piece was the way he accesses the top intellectual echelons, pioneers in AI, physics. Yet spends so much time grubbing around with "SEO experts" and grifters. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It’s depressing to see women try to claw back control of their images by imploring a chatbot not to misuse their photos.
Posts like these are reminiscent of the copyright declarations you used to see on Facebook. Totally understandable but unlikely to have the desired effect.
So much interesting in this (and good work on @caseynewton.bsky.social documenting it). One thing to note though, Google's watermarking identified the image of the badge as created by its AI tool. Other image generators haven't bothered implementing anything similar, why? (Looking at you, Sora.)
Great work from @caseynewton.bsky.social and an illuminating case study in how journalists authenticate allegations/sources in an age of generative AI

Nudify apps have been around for ages, but it's wild to see a mainstream platform like X effectively become a revenge porn machine, generating AND publishing non-consensual intimate images of women
For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.
aw. Jealous! Say hi to @tomasstatius.bsky.social
This thread chimes with my experience on so many fronts. Whether it's conspiracy theorists, freelancers pitching stories, or people applying for jobs it's so hard to filter based on writing quality. Weirdly I end up trusting the typo-strewn, clearly-dashed-out-by-a-human-in-a-hurry emails more now.

Houthi missile attacks on vessels in the Red Sea has created huge delays to several subsea cable projects, throttling the supply of internet capacity.
