    GBI arrests Thomson mayor, takes him away in handcuffs
    https://www.wrdw.com/2024/08/14/gbi-arrests-thomson-mayor-benji-cranford-takes-him-away-handcuffs/
    On June 6, the Thomson Police Department requested that the GBI conduct an investigation into an allegation that Cranford gave alcohol to inmates on June 4, according to the GBI. The case was presented to a McDuffie County grand jury, and a grand jury arrest warrant was issued for Cranford. According to the indictment, Cranford drove to Rimpy’s Store and bought a 750 milliliter bottle of Seagram’s Extra Dry Gin and left it in a ditch along Cobbham Road in the path of a work crew of state prisoners from the Jefferson County Correctional Institution. We spoke to one of the workers who says Cranford is a regular. “At least twice a week? Sometimes it might be three, but usually, at least twice a week,” said Ivie.

    Deepfake sex crimes widespread among teens in South Korea
    https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/deepfake-sex-crimes-widespread-among-teens-in-south-korea
    Recent progress in video technology has had some alarming effects in South Korea, as a growing number of tech-savvy youngsters are using deepfake technology to produce sexual images of people, often their own peers, without their consent. A recent report showed that there were 180 criminal cases related to deepfake images in 2023. Of the 120 people punished for those crimes, 91 – or 75.8 per cent – were teenagers, according to a report compiled by Representative Cho Eun-hee of the People Power Party, which used data provided by the National Police Agency.

    ‘Megalopolis’ Trailer’s Fake Critic Quotes Were AI-Generated, Lionsgate Drops Marketing Consultant Responsible For Snafu
    https://variety.com/2024/film/news/megalopolis-trailer-fake-quotes-ai-lionsgate-1236116485/
    Lionsgate has parted ways with Eddie Egan, the marketing consultant who came up with the “Megalopolis” trailer that included fake quotes from famous film critics. The studio pulled the trailer on Wednesday, after it was pointed out that the quotes trashing Francis Ford Coppola’s previous work did not actually appear in the critics’ reviews, and were in fact made up. Sources tell Variety it was not Lionsgate or Egan’s intention to fabricate quotes, but was an error in properly vetting and fact-checking the phrases provided by the consultant. The intention of the trailer was to demonstrate that Coppola’s revered work, much like “Megalopolis,” has been met with criticism. It appears that AI was used to generate the false quotes from the critics.

    This is painful. This is horrible and feels a bit like a betrayal. But I have no choice. Bobby Kennedy Jr. was my friend and co-author. We wrote stories together for Rolling Stone. Bobby introduced my New York Times bestseller and wrote a chapter for Billionaires and Ballot Bandits.
