This 4chan Board Became a Factory for Explicit AI ‘Deepfakes.’ Nobody Is Stopping It. - Open Measures Open Measures builds accessible and transparent products to contextualize the spread of harmful online information that impacts public discourse and global events.

NEW: One of the most active hubs for sexually explicit AI "deepfakes" is hiding in plain sight. My latest takes a hard look at a 4chan board that's acting as a factory floor for online sexual abuse — where its users have victimized untold numbers of women and girls.

Oil prices are going parabolic. This is insane.

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care’ Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s ‘arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: “Because they lie all the time.”

Video + interview with her and her daughter:

Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.

More questions than answers. That's for sure.

I want to think that it's simply the # of unidentified remains, but the prior reporting seems to dispute that. If so, why were these remains not exhumed when the others were? If not, where did the number come from?

🤯

That feeling when you owe 53,173,939 refunds, with interest ...

But, in another twist, the above article from 2018 says "nearly 400 sets of remains" were exhumed from this same cemetery three years prior, in 2015.

Why were these 88 not exhumed then? Or were they and were interred again?

So much for "rest in peace" 🙅‍♂️

Remains of Pearl Harbor sailors return home after 77 years HONOLULU (AP) — More than 75 years after nearly 2,400 members of the U.S. military were killed in the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, some who died on Dec. 7, 1941, are finally being laid to rest in ...

According to AP's previous reporting, linked-to in the above article, these unidentified remains may have been buried as recently as 2018.

This is an oddly specific number of servicemembers to exhume.

Could there only be this specific number of unidentified bodies? Sure. It's possible. The reporting doesn't say how many there are in the cemetery.

Context without linking to the ADL:

"88" is often used to substitute "Heil Hitler," as the letter H is the eighth letter in the alphabet.

That it is

How many 🤨

First they came for the journalists.

We don't know what happened after that.

A massive scandal in any normal information environment. As it stands, if anyone even bothers asking Trump about it he'll just say he has didn't know anything about the guy and that'll be good enough.

Another $5.6 million from ICE to Palantir, in part for its continued work on ELITE (Enhanced Leads Identification & Targeting for Enforcement), which we revealed in January to be the Palantir tool ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid

Of course, as The Washington Post's great tech reporter
@drewharwell.com said in a TikTok last night, "this has been a meme presidency." And sometimes the trolling is the point. The outrage is the goal. Because it all translates to attention.

Left can't resist being on wrong side of a war Whether it's Jeremy Corbyn or Zack Polanski, their foreign policy stances terrify voters outside core supporters

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.
