I just watched two interviews with Tristan Harris.
One with Steve Bartlett on DOAC and one with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show.
Oh my god. What are we going to do about this dystopian AI future?
I’m glad that there are people like him out there sounding the alarm but I can’t say I’m hopeful.

Maybe this is happening everywhere, but in Iceland there is an ad agency, I don’t know which one, but there are a series of ads on YouTube for Icelandic companies which seem to have been made wholly with AI.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

A 16-year-old minor from Houston, Texas, who is a U.S. Citizen was beaten, tackled, and choked by ICE as he was heading for school. They used racial slurs against him and his father. The officers did not identify themselves or show any badge.

Yay! I did it! 🙄
I'm totally going to take all my music off Spotify as soon as I get a chance.
This is a crappy company that is making it more difficult to be a musician every single day.

Not only can states prosecute felonious federal officials, it is a tactic that has been championed by some on the right, as I discuss here.
States can step into the breach
Just because Pam Bondi won't hold Trump's thugs accountable doesn't mean they're above all laws.

I’m in the US for a couple of weeks.
So my stepdad had the tv on and an ad came on for Ram trucks that made me feel afraid for the republic.
No more US tv for me.

Most of my “screen time” is between here and YouTube.
I’ve noticed an uptick in AI videos on YouTube that are actually really well done… I hate to admit.
The one’s I’m seeing are of the quasi-scientific persuasion, which means we should be really worried because no one is fact-checking this slop.
