Elon Musk’s xAI is suing Minnesota to stop a ban on apps that create sexualized deepfakes without consent. The law—the first in the US to prohibit nudification technology—goes into effect in August. Watchdog groups estimate xAI’s Grok has generated millions of sexual deepfakes.
“…the most intriguing aspect of this new tool being developed by the CS team at UC Riverside is its goal not only to determine whether a video is fake, but also to help identify which AI system created it.” It’d be nice to have a way to reveal training data as well.
Can AI-generated videos be traced back to the tools that made them? nofilmschool.com/ai-tracing-too…
The opponents of this jet runway scheme want to build vast numbers of homes in the single most walkable, transit-rich & job-dense part of the entire country. It's supporters wanted to cancel homes & permanently stunt the core because it might get in the way of their private jet.
Canada wants to pretend it’s a serious country but then shuts down a major downtown airport expansion in our largest and most economically relevant city. Not what a serious country does!
Perplexity and Copilot are now citing a network of zombie websites that were paid for by israel. The websites, including a "Pallywood" style website dedicated to genocide denial in Gaza, are setup strictly to influence chatbots.
3. Drop Site tested major chatbots. When Perplexity was asked whether closer US-Israel military cooperation benefits America, it answered: “Yes.” Its top source was Allyvia.org—one of ten websites created by Parscale’s firm on behalf of the Israeli government.
Fringe group (pictured) announces that they are planning the next photo-op to convince everyone that expanding the airport is a good idea. News at 11. #onpoli
Chris Alexander used forged documents to accuse long-time Ottawa Citizen defence reporter David Pugliese of being a Russian spy, an allegation he curiously hasn't repeated outside the confines of parliamentary privilege. I do hope he'll be asked about that on the campaign trail

The Skills Development Fund scandal keeps on giving.
NEW: National Bank is seeking a court order to remove a company involved in the Skills Development Fund scandal from its executives' control. The bank claims Keel Digital Solutions has defaulted on millions of dollars in loans. thetrillium.ca/news/politics/… by @CharliePinkerto and me
There needs to be more accountability & transparency around datacentres.
A massive data centre in Cambridge leaked an undisclosed chemical for days, possibly into local water, and the public still hasn’t been told what the chemical was. We’re expected to trust that everything is fine while the cleanup happens behind closed doors. These facilities
This is wild.
Thank you @democracynow for featuring my report on the assassination of the prosecutor investigating US strikes & torture. Bravo was shot dead in Manta, where US troops have been operating with blanket immunity since Dec 17 under Ecuador’s martial law. We’re still seeking answers
What a strange thing to say
JUST IN: Sam Altman reveals he’s “a little surprised” the rogue AI agent’s hacking spree didn’t provoke a stronger public reaction.
Just shows how much I pay attention to this app that I’m just now realizing this feature change. I guess I gotta make more quippy quote tweets?
reposts not being on your main page is another way to silence information from spreading. every change on this app is about disrupting the flow of information and breaking down community. i’ve been saying this since day one. this isn’t about aesthetics

Its not really here nor there, but people should probably note how few cities have downtown airports, and that those that had them have largely gotten rid of them. Its not a normal thing.
Canada wants to pretend it’s a serious country but then shuts down a major downtown airport expansion in our largest and most economically relevant city. Not what a serious country does!
Imagine if you mailed the IRS a check to pay your taxes, but they left their mail unopened for years and then arrested you for failure to pay taxes. That’s effectively what ICE is doing to increasing numbers of people now; people out of status only because of GOVERNMENT delay.
This includes people who came here legally on a visa, applied for another form of status, and are just waiting for the US government to decide their case. Some are people who haven’t done a single thing wrong; the only reason their visa expired was because of government delay.
Corporate America is amazing because you can give 76,000 people cancer and not spend a day in jail
MAJOR: Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay $5.5 billion to resolve lawsuits that alleged the company’s talc products caused ovarian cancer. This settlement is less impressive when considering that 76,000 plaintiffs have been in litigation for a full decade, bearing the costs of
It’s fun that these guys just like to say things without anything to back it up. There was no business case presented for Billy Bishop, especially considering the Pearson updates. Whereas Ontario would benefit from a railway solely dedicated to passenger trains.
The sad irony here is that there is no business case for Alto and there is a strong one for Billy Bishop. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Ontario may be home to the largest share of AI data centres in Canada, and proposals for new ones in the GTA are piling up, but the Ford government has yet to unveil the rules governing which projects get approved & which get rejected. My exchange with Energy Minister Stephen Lecce here:
