The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm
A digital illustration of the character Ralsei from Deltarune. He is wearing an outfit consisting of a black suspender skirt with buttons, a white dress shirt with short frilly sleeves, and a large straw sun hat. He is sitting on a rock in a beach environment with the ocean and distant land masses behind him. The sky is blue with whispy white clouds. He has one hand on his knee and the other holding his hat in place. His eyes are closed as he tilts his head, grinning happily.

Age verification vendor Persona left frontend exposed, researchers say
To demonstrate the privacy implications, researchers took a closer look and found a publicly exposed Persona frontend on a US government-authorized server, with 2,456 accessible files. You read that right. According to researcher "Celeste" the exposed code, which has now been removed, sat at a US government-authorized endpoint that appears to have been isolated from its regular work environment. In those files, the researchers found details about the extensive surveillance Persona software performs on its users. Beyond checking their age, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks, runs facial recognition against watchlists and politically exposed persons, screens "adverse media" across 14 categories (including terrorism and espionage), and assigns risk and similarity scores. Persona collects —and can retain for up to three years —IP addresses, browser and device fingerprints, government ID numbers, phone numbers, names, faces, plus a battery of "selfie" analytics like suspicious-entity detection, pose repeat detection, and age inconsistency checks.
According to The Rage, Discord has stated it will not continue to use Persona for age verification. However, other platforms reported to use Persona include: • Roblox: Uses Persona's facial age estimation and ID verification as the core of its "age checks to chat" system. • OpenAl / ChatGPT: OpenAl's help center explains that if you need to verify being 18+, "Persona is a trusted third-party company we use to help verify age," and that Persona may ask for a live selfie and/or government ID. • Lime: The ride-sharing service deploys custom age verification flows with Persona to meet each region's unique requirements.

Persona, the age verification company used by Roblox & Discord was hacked.
And despite the company & platforms claiming Persona utilised “zero knowledge” methodologies to verify age, they are gathering user data.
Palantir is one of Persona’s main investors.

Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now).
This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5
Red Dead Redemption 2 Ultimate Edition being two different prices on different accounts with context being the game being made cheaper on a users wife's account in effort to get her to pay for title
Apparently the price gauging thing PlayStation was gabbing about is already live for some and being implemented exactly how you'd expect
This shit needs to be outlawed ASAP
The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced
Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!

Baa-diction
ELIZA's creator was so alarmed by the fact that people mistook the chatbot for a sentient being that he wrote an entire book about why this implementation of computer technology was a huge problem and it is a staggering achievement
I think this piece from when we were all drawing Ashley as a mouse is still pretty good

fuck off if your website or platform does this

Spent the last month or so working on this new (and very important!) area for ABYSS X ZERO!
Haven't worked on an area like this since the Downtown from UNSIGHTED, so it's been very nostalgic to create these urban/city assets.
A lot of WIP elements here still!

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)
