@Tantacrul @Meta In the US at least, the standard form for opting out refuses to let you submit your objection without a) quoting the prompt from Meta AI that elicited a response including your data and b) sharing a screenshot of it! It’s beyond outrageous. @gruber

Was this always the case with @Adobe or is it new? Either way it’s unethical. In November my wife started a trial for $19.99 a month access to Acrobat. Forgot to cancel after realising she didn’t need it. Turns out there’s a sting in the tail! #Adobe #Software #SharpPractice

‘The police came because of the sea of red gore’: unseen photos from the set of The Shining.

A good primer on the economics of why Twitter’s new owner would want to run down the service so much. It’s all about the debt… Fascinating and depressing at the same time. The sooner we all escape from his mesmeric distortion field the better. https://t.co/k8BbGLAtbq

Another cultural earthquake. Iranian female basketball team removed their hijab and posted their unveiled photo on Instagram to protest against the main pillar of a gender apartheid regime.
They published the photo with this slogan;
Woman Life Freedom.

From @ZoeSchiffer and I, an account of one of the most chaotic days in Twitter’s history. We’re making it free for everyone to read because we think the whole story needs to be told.

My goodness but the new ‘Copy Subject’ AI photo function in iOS 16 is AMAZING. Works on almost any image, anywhere your iPhone can see one. I wish the young me who spent hours painstakingly cutting out people (badly) in Photoshop could know this was coming… #iOS16

Ted Cruz voted against our 9/11 responders. He also refused to help our veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits.

Queen's death threatens Biden's fragile gains with voters.

[buddhist.tech @techbuddhist]

@charlesarthur Yes. One of my first thoughts was relief that BJ didn’t get to make it all about him by seeing the Queen’s death as a burnishing moment in his career as an historic statesman and the new Churchill… 😮‍💨

@backlon Ummm. Didn’t @gruber make the genuine privacy/security issues with this fairly clear already? https://t.co/W5QqKdB3Hb

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Johnson’s government was casually corrupt. Truss’s is systematically corrupt. She has chosen a cabinet that listens to the money, not the people. Her advisers come from dark money thinktanks: covertly-funded lobby groups, promoting the interests of oligarchs and corporations.🧵

Amazing to watch Apple start by schooling men about ovulation and women’s health. While subtly sub-tweeting the Supreme Court with the privacy aspect of all this without actually saying the word “pregnant”. #AppleEvent #AppleWatch

@pandelic @asymco @ratkins They look lovely. Added bonus if you use iOS translation mode on the web page: “These bikes will give you the push you need to overcome your daily rectum.” 😮
