I partnered with @geoffreyfowler.bsky.social to test a bunch of AI editing tools, and something ~very interesting~ happened.

We asked Gemini to generate a professional photo of an actor crying at the Oscars. It did — including a fake copyright notice from a real AP photographer.
AI-generated image Zoom in on the lower left, which reads AP PHOTO/CHRIS PIZZELLO

Happy to talk to @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social at @404media.co about this issue of Instagram adding weird sometimes inaccurate headlines and summaries for Google searches. I find it troubling. www.404media.co/instagram-is...

It's flu SZN, people
Ok so its one of those dept of health posters you find in bathrooms. The poster is 13 little comic book scene style squares displaying hands in various stages of hand warshing with music lyrics under each one to help you, the filthy hand warsher, know how long you should spend warshing your filthy, disgusting hands. The top of the poster reads, "Hand washing technique with soap and water." And the music that reads under each square is as follows, "(1) It's been a long road, getting to there from here(2)It's been a long time but my time is finally near(3)And I will see my dream come alive at last(4)I will touch the sky, and they're not gonna hold me down no more(5)No, they're not gonna change my mind(6)'Cause I've got faith of the heart(7)I'm going where my heart will take me(8)I've got faith to believe-I can do anything- I've got strength of the soul(9)And no one's gonna bend or break me(10)I can reach any star(11)I've got faith(12)(I've got-I've got-I've got) I've got faith,(13)FAITH OF THE HEART"

Anyway please enjoy this pumpkin I saw yesterday
A jack-o-lantern on someone’s porch steps. The pumpkin is old and starting to rot in such a way that it looks like an old man with no teeth, making a grumpy expression, with the top also falling in. This pumpkin has seen some stuff.

Getting our December makerspace prepped… it’s a Gift Making & Wrapping station!

I tried it for the first time last year & it was a big hit so I’m trying it again this year. It will be a fun thing for kids to come back to after thanksgiving break!

🚨 Yet again Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise are trying to sneak in a moratorium on state GenAi legislation.

If passed states can no longer enact laws for transparency, child safety, privacy, environmental protection etc.

We got 3 days to stop this. Call now!

📈 Data can be presented in a variety of ways, some of them misleading.

🚩 See below for 3 common data visualization red flags to watch out for, & get more resources to help students on our health & wellness page: newslit.org/wellness

Illustration of a bar chart with an arrow, surrounded by question marks. Text reads "3 Signs of Misleading Data Visualizations." Tone is informative. Infographic titled "Inconsistent Labels" with text urging clarity in visualizations. Includes an image of a bar graph with uneven axis spacing marked with a red X. Infographic titled 'Zoomed-In Views' warns against misleading data visualizations. It shows a line graph with a zoomed-in section misrepresenting trends, highlighting overall trend distortion. Illustration titled 'Inaccurate Proportions' shows a pie chart with segments labeled 67%, 35%, and 20%, totaling over 100%. A red 'X' indicates the error. The text explains how misleading data visualizations can occur when proportions exceed 100%.
