In Kenya, we spoke to the data labelers powering U.S. AI companies. They include someone who had to watch porn all day, annotate it, then had to flirt and sext with people over an AI chatbot. The users thought they were sexting an AI. It was actually a person.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: https://www.404media.co/i-watched-6-hours-of-doge-bro-testimony-heres-what-they-had-to-say-for-themselves/

New from 404 Media: Flock exposed some of its AI-powered cameras to the internet. We know because we tracked ourselves with them. These cameras zoom in on passersby, sometimes so close we could read a random person's phone screen. Required no login to view cameras

This is a wild hack. a16z gave a million dollars to startup called Doublespeed. They use a phone farm to flood social media with AI generated influencers and ads. A hacker remotely broke into the phone farm, unmasking the AI influencers/fake accounts, gave us the data https://www.404media.co/hack-reveals-the-a16z-backed-phone-farm-flooding-tiktok-with-ai-influencers/

Here is the video for our latest FOIA Forum, where we told you how to get information about Flock from your local agencies/government. Includes network audits, which are the files that show why exactly cops are using the cameras (helping ICE, for example): https://www.404media.co/heres-the-video-for-our-seventh-foia-forum-flock/

New: the airlines (Delta, United, American, etc) will shut down a program in which it sold hundreds of millions of your flight records to government agencies, including ICE, FBI, ATF, more. Comes after intense lawmaker-pressure and 404 Media's months-long reporting

A legal filing provides pretty good insight into ISIS' graphic design process: "The text on the top needs effects as well … shining … blood spots or a line surrounding it, etc." Doing graphic design for ISIS was the passion of a 28-year-old Houston man https://www.404media.co/graphic-design-for-isis-is-his-passion-fbi-alleges-in-filing/
