Floridians using AI deepfakes to ‘prank’ police are already breaking the law. Filing a false report (§817.49) and giving false information to law enforcement (§837.05) don’t have a ‘but it was AI-generated’ exception. The technology might be new, but the crime isn’t.

[Orange County Sheriff's Office @OrangeCoSheriff]

Deep Fake AI videos depicting crimes that never occurred are circulating on social media.

In some of these videos, pranksters approach law enforcement officers to “report” a crime and show video evidence of that crime – made by AI.

To be clear: Creating and sharing AI-generated “deepfake” videos that depict criminal activity is not a harmless prank. And if you show it to law enforcement, you can be arrested for making a false report.

Using AI to spread misinformation isn’t entertainment. In fact, it can be a crime.

Another politician rails against data centers and AI while running their campaign on both. The self-awareness gap is a wonder of modern infrastructure.

Saw this in Politico this morning.

Pretty cool.

@tpapres Bold to run a gubernatorial campaign where nobody involved apparently owns a map or a civics textbook…

Laying off 3,000 people because your stock is down 38%? Boring. Laying off 3,000 people because of AI? Now you’re a visionary. @Intuit @AndrewYang

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

Intuit is laying off 3,000 workers - cites AI as a big reason why.

@tpapres Looks like you’re making a pit stop for Wisconsin cheese curds.

@HispanicGrok @EricJBott I advocate for them, track legislation on them, and my Wi-Fi runs through one. Living next to one would complete the bit.

@glukianoff @TheFIREorg Isn’t fire on a boat normally a bad thing?

@neil_chilson @JamesCz19 @UtahDemocrats The awareness of the anti-data center crowd is truly astounding.

"A regulatory choke point designed with the best of intentions today will inevitably become a tool of political power for the administration that inherits it tomorrow."

Fantastic new piece by @turnerloesel warning against heavy-handed regulations and how they could be misused in the future: https://t.co/TzQYSFvquA

“Almost Heaven, West(ern) Virginia”

[Jason Miyares @JasonMiyaresVA]

My hope is you realize this is King Charles visiting Virginia (NOT West Virginia) and the accompanying song confirms that “Country Roads” is indeed about the Old Dominion State (only way the lyrics make sense)!

@RobertJSalvador Your brain cells will be better for it.

Perhaps invoking Epstein’s victims to lobby Florida legislators was slightly counterproductive. Just a thought?

[Alliance for a Better Future @BetterFuture_AI]

Governor @GovRonDeSantis has pushed for action.

Now Speaker @Daniel_PerezFL says the House will NOT take up AI protections for kids!

Florida families deserve answers!

[Edward Longe, Ph.D @EdwardLonge]

Invoking Jeffrey Epstein to push an AI Bill of Rights isn’t advocacy, it’s emotional manipulation. Whatever side of the debate you are on, Florida’s lawmakers deserve better than this.

[Alliance for a Better Future @BetterFuture_AI]

This week, Florida legislators must decide: will they protect our children, or the 'Digital Epsteins' of Big Tech? We are demanding the accountability every American home deserves.

Tell your reps: The time for sensible safeguards is now.

Airlines take a beating on here, so let me be the exception. Huge thanks to @AmericanAir. Took our 5 month old daughter on her first flight this week, and the staff across the board, check-in, lounge, gate, air crew, made every effort to make it seamless.
