Here's a non-paywalled link to an article published in the Washington Post a few days ago. It's great to see this kind of thing getting some mainstream attention. Young children have not made an informed decision about whether they want their photos posted online.
At our place we only share photos of the kids with grandparents/aunts/uncles via group chat. They’re the only group that “necessarily” needs to see the kids.
She said she was then advised to withdraw money from her bank accounts and deposit it through a Bitcoin machine, where it would remain in an account for safekeeping until the investigation was over.
That poor woman. Even if she hadn’t seen all the other red flags, this was the flare gun shot in the night sky.
The film is “set decades before the original 2009 Star Trek film.” Toby Haynes (Andor, Black Mirror “USS Callister”) is directing based on a screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith (The Lego Batman Movie), with J.J. Abrams returning as producer.
[…] the origin story movie is set to start filming by the end of the year. There are no details yet on the plot, specific time setting, or cast. If Paramount can move fast enough they could get the origin movie into theaters by 2026—in time for Star Trek’s 60th anniversary.

Government House leader Steven MacKinnon said Thursday those amendments were “robo-amendments created by AI.”
[Conservative Leader Pierre] Poilievre now will have to have his members come here and vote for as long as it takes on a couple of hundred amendments that survived that robo-amendment process that they admitted was undertaken by artificial intelligence, by robot caucus members and robot parliamentarians," he said.

I mean there’s the wasted cost of feeding extra cows, processing excess milk, and probably throwing out that percentage that is not being drank as well. Let’s see if/how prices accommodate the change.
