“AI is suddenly being sold to women, especially mothers and teen girls, as helpful, creative and aesthetic tools that can be woven seamlessly into everyday life. The goal is to shift perception of AI from existential risk and labor displacement towards AI as a lifestyle accessory that aids in self-expression and convenience.”

What’s Really Going on With All the Celebrities Trying to Pinkwash AI

TPM - Talking Points Memo

@jalefkowit Mmh. I think most women are too socially attuned to bullshit to trust the way agentic AI fawns over everything we give it.

(Call me paranoid -- no really, do -- but it also feels a little too close to "sell it to the female demographic, that way when the bubble bursts we can blame women for killing AI" for my liking)

Flock Safety and Texas Sheriff Claimed License Plate Search Was for a Missing Person. It Was an Abortion Investigation.

New documents and court records obtained by EFF show that Texas deputies queried Flock Safety's surveillance data in an abortion investigation, contradicting the narrative promoted by the company and the Johnson County Sheriff that she was “being searched for as a missing person,” and that “it was about her safety.” The new information shows that deputies had initiated a "death investigation" of a "non-viable fetus," collected evidence of a woman’s self-managed abortion, and consulted prosecutors about possibly charging her.
