FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating:

*foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets
*foreign and domestic terrorist threats
*crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)

Do you feel safer?

“The schools that thrive with project-based learning have one thing in common.

“They build internal capacity.
They create systems where teachers learn from teachers.”

The Lies We Tell Ourselves About AI There's a particular species of dishonesty that emerges when humans confront something that threatens their self-conception.

The Supreme Court said it will review Ghislaine Maxwell’s bid to overturn her 2021 conviction for federal sex trafficking at its September 29 conference, where justices take up cases submitted over the summer break.

Be especially wary of:
* Brand deals that appear too good to be true
* .exe or .scr files (expect .pdf or .docx files)
* Public email domains (e.g., @mail.ru) or domains with misspellings of legit brand names
* Encrypted or password-protected files disguised as contracts.

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order directing states to criminalize and institutionalize people experiencing homelessness, addiction, and mental health disabilities.

Sounds about right.

The best way to unravel a Trump scheme is to start with the lie that always forms its foundation: the same (repeatedly discredited) canard that elections are rife with fraud, including votes from undocumented immigrants. https://trib.al/7T0UdBD

Don’t get sucked in by the White House’s AI “action plan.“ The regime is not only not supportive of education, it’s actively hostile toward it. It mentions platforms and AI tutors, but says nothing about funding the actual human beings who will be required to implement anything like this. #EduSky

In recent layoffs, AI's role may be bigger than companies are letting on As companies use terms like reorganization, restructuring, and optimization in job cuts, AI may be at work more than they want employees to know.

"Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities."

I include treating one “badly“ in my presentation about AI, to illustrate that predilection.

We don’t need ChatGPT to tell us that humans are ready to anthropomorphize pretty much anything. How many people do you know who refer to their automobiles by gender or name? I actually have trouble *not* being polite to an AI in a verbal interaction.

This has always been the case. Access journalism is their Achilles heel.

What does it show that might lead people to think it was fake?

Stop Pretending Chatbots Have Feelings: Media's Dangerous AI Anthropomorphism Problem When AI causes harm, headlines blame the bot instead of the billion-dollar companies that built them. This anthropomorphic coverage is tech journalism at its worst.

Today's newsletter: The Wall Street Journal says ChatGPT had a "stunning moment of self reflection." NBC says Grok "issued an apology." This lazy language isn't just bad writing — it's helping tech companies dodge responsibility for real harm. www.readtpa.com/p/stop-prete...

Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance Ring founder Jamie Siminoff is back at the helm of the surveillance doorbell company, and with him is the surveillance-first-privacy-last approach that made Ring one of the most maligned tech devices....

Amazon Ring is introducing a new feature that would allow police to request live-stream access to people’s home security devices.

Helllll no. If you have one of those things, get rid of it. Kill it with fire
