I had a great conversation with Paul Bouchaud at @aiforensics.org about their research tracking the proliferation of Grok-generated deepfakes across the internet, which disproportionately impacted women. Check it out in the most recent of AWO's newsletter here!

Meta's new computer vision model was trained on three times more military equipment than sports and medical combined, but don't worry—their license says you can't use it for military purposes.

AgeGO:
• Collects the exact video URL before consent
• Sends webcam streams directly to Amazon
• Forces users to give an email via an unskippable step
They are trying to erase trans people and doing it in the open....

@NetflixFR ran ads excluding users interested in the French far-right party, "FN, Front National, RN"
Similarly, @bp_Deutschland excluded users interested in "trans, transgender, gender transition" from their ads, as well as "al islam, quran, sunni, shiite, shias"
The oil company @TotalEnergies ran over 80 ads shown 86 million times, carefully excluding all users with an interest in Green politicians (Marie Toussaint, Yannick Jadot,...) as well as those interested in "Kosher, Casher, Mahomet"
"Conversation topics" curated by X for advertisers. Among those we find "political affiliation - Rassemblement National" alongside other parties
