"I didn’t realize, in the hours before his name was released to the public, that the man millions of people had seen lying facedown on the pavement from multiple angles of eyewitness video was my childhood best friend."

D.C.-based 1863 Ventures, a nationally recognized backer of startups from Black and brown founders, is shutting down. https://t.co/o8q4tNnNPF

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

While interns across Greater Washington were staring into broken blue screens, I was lucky enough to write about the outage and its impacts on the region.

Trump is GUILTY of all 34 felony counts of falsification of business records.

[Alex Griswold @HashtagGriswold]

Absolutely wild story. A Baltimore County principal was seemingly caught on recorded audio making blatantly racist and anti-Semitic comments.

After investigation... the audio was fake. AI-generated, in a plot by the school's former athletic director. https://t.co/s2fX9njF7y

Everyone who reads this thinks they would never fall for a scam like this, but the truth is you would. You just have no idea how you will react when your emotions are toyed with to this level. Everyone is capable of being abused, manipulated, and scammed.

Scams will get better. Evasion odds will not. That's reality. Only fools think they're too smart to be scammed. But scammers will never know your "family password" that you only whisper to your loved ones upon establishing it and then change once it's ever used out loud.

[Nate Doughty @NateDoughty]

This will sound silly but everyone needs to have a "family password" that only a small group of people know, especially in an era where AI-generated content is becoming more difficult to discern from reality.

But in this story, a "family password" would've helped a father realize his son wasn't actually going to jail, a scenario the father was led to believe based on an AI manipulated phone call featuring his son's voice. This tactic will become more common.

*professional news* - Next month, I'll be covering the tech startup and innovation scene in and around D.C. I'm super excited to get started but will always cherish the start of my career in my native Pittsburgh. More from me on this here: https://t.co/syHifSDmJq

Very proud of this cover story for the @PghBizTimes, which reports on how the workforce's tech tango with AI, robotics, and automation is dancing into a science fiction-like future that's now here. What this means for workers is hard to predict, but the impact is only growing.

[Pittsburgh Business Times @PghBizTimes]

Pittsburgh's workforce dances into a future of AI and robotics. https://t.co/LMTyLLHWyd
