This week my city council voted to expand an urban highway, further destroying historically Black neighborhoods in the process. Their justifications relied on intentionally misremembering the brutality of urban renewal and urban highway projects.

Yes, the Andreessen Horowitz-backed big tech boarding school that takes students as young as 16 is, in fact, advertising Tyler Cowen - he of the "if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances" creep article - as faculty.

Let's recall that apparently Sam Altman was in a Discord with a 13 year old in 2020

I have a theory about how Eric Zhu was getting into AI group house parties at the age of 13, per the recent New York Times piece: he says he was in a Discord group chat with Sam Altman (and others) at that age.

“ In a letter to the US Senate Judiciary Committee, Flock CEO Garrett Langley said that it’s “possible to search for humans in images taken by Flock cameras.”

Which contradicts everything on Flock’s website. Huh.

How do you solve a problem like Flock?
In a statement to Tech Brew, Flock says that “it’s possible to search for the presence of people” but “not a biometric template.”

Once again, the Supreme Court prioritizes imaginary harms done to Trump by not allowing him to indulge in his conspiracy theories, as opposed to the very real harm done to citizens who may lose the ability to vote in this case.
🚨 BREAKING: In a major loss for voters, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump administration to initiate voter roll purges using a flawed database involving Americans' private data.

The ruling will disproportionately impact naturalized citizens who've been wrongly flagged in the system.

Cops put this woman in solitary for three days on the strength of Flock "evidence" that she had killed people in a hit and run. Her car, meanwhile, had zero visible damage. But cops told her the "damage" was consistent with the accident. They believed Flock over their own eyes.
Lindsey Isaacs was wrongly held in solitary confinement for 3 days after Flock cameras falsely flagged her car.
