White nationalist talking points and racial pseudoscience: welcome to Elon Musk’s Grokipedia World’s richest person wanted to β€˜purge’ propaganda from Wikipedia, so he created a compendium of racist disinformation

New from me this morning, a deep dive on Elon Musk's Grokipedia-- the forthrightness of the white nationalist and eugenic advocacy in many entries surprised me and the experts I spoke to www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I had to unfollow Wired because it feels like that publication is just all in in AI boosterisim now. This feels recent and I am curious of there was an ownership change or an editorial leadership change

Latino US citizens racially profiled by federal immigration agents in Chicago: β€˜I felt like a piece of trash’ The Tribune spoke to U.S. citizens and green card holders who have either been questioned or detained during Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. β€œI felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.

2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to β€œheadcount issues”.

Bill Clinton was the most powerful man in the world, and Monica Lewinsky was an intern and his subordinate, and in any other workplace that would be called sexual harassment, and if you don't take power dynamics into account when you talk about things like this, you don't actually understand consent

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

The President Who Cried β€˜Hoax’ Republicans went after Epstein only when it was politically useful.

The β€œEpstein Files” saga shows that Republicans were only ever interested in using sexual assault as a pretext to smear political rivals and deprive LGBT people of their constitutional rights www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are notβ€”whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Video game leaders telling people they’ll get left behind if they don’t embrace AI aren’t people worth listening to or respecting. They aren’t interested in quality _and_ if they lead a successful studio, they’ve fully misunderstood why their studio was successful in the first place.

Elon Musk: With Optimus, we might be able to stop putting people in prison.

β€œIf somebody's committed a crime, we might be able to provide a more humane form of containment of future crime. You now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime. Other than that, you get to do anything; it's just going to stop you from committing crime. That's really it. You don't have to put people in prisons and stuff. It's pretty wild to think of all the possibilities, but I think it's clearly the future.”

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page:

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
