From Rolling Stone Article: Cliff Steinhauer, Director of Information Security and Engagement at the nonprofit National Cybersecurity Alliance, tells Rolling Stone that he sees the disturbing image edits as evidence that xAI prioritized neither safety nor consent in building Grok. “Allowing users to alter images of real people without notification or permission creates immediate risks for harassment, exploitation, and lasting reputational harm,” Steinhauer says. “When those alterations involve sexualized content, particularly where minors are concerned, the stakes become exceptionally high, with profound and lasting real-world consequences. These are not edge cases or hypothetical scenarios, but predictable outcomes when safeguards fail or are deprioritized.”

more birds from central park today
A flock of pigeons are caught mid-air as they all flap in the sun in central park. The photo is black and white and you can see the V-shape of several dozen birds' wings against the sky and the dark trees in the background. Eight finches sit perched in a row atop the backs of a long, curved park bench. There is a beam of sunlight on one finch, in the middle. She's ready to solo A bluejay sits perched on a branch which has been snapped in one location. The jay is holding a chestnut in its beak. Its feathers are vibrant blue and white. A large red-tailed hawk sits on a winter branch in Central Park, looking left, over its shoulder, toward the sun. Light shines on its golden, deep-set eyes. There are diamond brown specks on the front of its white and brown coat.

Again, from Michael Grynbaum, here is Sharyn Alfonsi's full email.

It must be read:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

The New School is a beacon of higher education thanks to the labor of its faculty & staff. 

I strongly urge @thenewschool.bsky.social to extend the deadline for faculty to consider separation packages, engage in good faith & protect the programs that make New School a globally renowned institution.
