Been sitting in this stupid ass airport because of gov’t shutdown related FAA issues. Sad sandwiches with wilted vegetables (if any) and $3.95 canned water as far as the eye can see. So glad to be back in this fuckass country. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Facial expressions common to all humans! 🙃

PainChek is one of these behavioral models, and it acts like a camera‑based thermometer, but for pain: A care worker opens the app and holds a phone 30 centimeters from a person’s face. For three seconds, a neural network looks for nine particular microscopic movements—upper‑lip raise, brow pinch, cheek tension, and so on—that research has linked most strongly to pain. Then the screen flashes a score of 0 to 42. “There’s a catalogue of ‘action‑unit codes’—facial expressions common to all humans. Nine of those are associated with pain,” explains Kreshnik Hoti, a senior research scientist with PainChek and a co-inventor of the device. This system is built directly on the foundation of FACS. After the scan, the app walks the user through a yes‑or‑no checklist of other signs, like groaning, “guarding,” and sleep disruption, and stores the result on a cloud dashboard that can show trends.

There's obviously racism baked into this but I just don't understand how even if there were facial expressions that could definitively identify pain they would not be able to tell you the pain tolerance of an individual. The average man's expression of pain is so much more dramatic than a woman's.

Please prepare your rapid response networks. Print a metric asston of whistles and "How to Report ICE" zines. Build community with day laborers at Home Depots, car washes, street vendors. Create walking buses for schools. Set up databases for tracking abductions and license plates. Get lawyers ready

It’s been said but it bears repeating: in addition to the people being abducted, all Chicagoans are being psychologically terrorized. Seeing feds driving/walking around and videos of violent attacks in places you know and love will fuck you up. Get ready, it’s coming to all of America soon.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

ICE spotted near Kenwood Academy today.

Dear Kenwood Parents and Guardians,
The safety of our students is my top priority, which is why I am writing to address a situation that occurred near our school this morning. We have received reports of federal law enforcement activity in the neighborhood near our school building today.
We immediately shared these reports with the CPS
Office of Safety and Security, and this team reached out to the Chicago Police Department (CPD) for more information. All members of our school community are safe. Today's school day proceeded smoothly and as planned.
I want to emphasize that school is the best and safest place for our students. Our staff is well-versed in the proper protocols for keeping our students and school community safe in case federal law enforcement representatives attempt to enter school property or interact with students or staff. As a reminder, our school and CPS WILL NOT coordinate with federal representatives, and we WILL NOT allow ICE agents or any other federal representatives access to our school unless they produce a criminal judicial warrant signed by a federal judge. I also want to remind you that CPS created a resource packet (English I Spanish) that includes guidance on the following topics:

Let it be known that the Denver city council voted 12-0 to BLOCK funding for surveillance devices from this particular torment nexus. Mayor Johnston simply dropped the requisitioned amount from $500K to $499K, below the threshold for a vote, and pushed it through anyways

Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 18h

“Flock is the $7.5 billion company whose cameras capture license plate data for Denver Police and other agencies across the nation. It has drawn criticism because immigration enforcement agents have tapped into its national network.”

Denver Police has a contract with Flock for drone first responders

The company’s surveillance cameras have drawn civil rights concerns.
