Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, β€œI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

BREAKING: @aoc.bsky.social just came out swinging in the House E&C hearing against dangerous & misguided "age verification" legislation (aka online ID checks) that would force everyone to upload government ID or get a face scan before accessing content or posting online.

Video incoming. This is big

A montage of black and white midcentury advertisement art including: a skull wearing a crown, a little girl praying, a woman putting a finger to her lips and making a thoughtful expression with a ? next to her head, and another woman making a very frowny face while holding in front of her a mask of her own face making a very manic expression. A speech bubble coming from the little girl contains mismatched typography reading, β€˜Maybe it will happen today’. This is all on a toned paper background and make to look crumpled and worn.
