    How big tech is force-feeding us AI
    https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/how-big-tech-is-force-feeding-us
    I do not think it will shock anyone to learn that big tech is aggressively pushing AI products. But the extent to which they have done so might. The sheer ubiquity of AI means that we take for ground the countless ways, many invisible, that these products and features are foisted on us—and how Silicon Valley companies have systematically designed and deployed AI products onto their existing platforms in an effort to accelerate adoption. It also happens to be the subject of a new study by design scholars Nolwenn Maudet, Anaëlle Beignon, and Thomas Thibault, who looked at hundreds of instances of how AI has been deployed, highlighted, and advertised by Google, Meta, Adobe, SnapChat, and others, and analyzed them for a study called “Imposing AI: Deceptive design patterns against sustainability.” They also present the results in a handy guide, with illustrated examples called, aptly: “How tech companies are pushing us to use AI.” (It’s translated from the French, hence the sometimes awkward phrasings.)

    9 New Orleans inmates who broke out of jail plead not guilty to escape charges
    https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article/9-new-orleans-inmates-who-broke-out-of-jail-plead-not-guilty-to-escape-charges/
    Nine men accused of breaking out of a New Orleans city jail in May after slipping through a hole behind a toilet and scaling a barbed wire fence pleaded not guilty to escape charges on Wednesday. Officials have repeatedly pointed to video surveillance of the brazen escape, one of the largest jailbreaks in recent U.S. history, and vowed to bring the inmates to justice. A 10th inmate, Derrick Groves, a convicted killer, is the lone fugitive still on the run. “Everyone is entitled to due process. But there’s a video of these detainees running out of the jail in the middle of the night. They were not heading to court hearings,” Attorney General Liz Murrill said on Wednesday. ”We will continue to hold everyone accountable for the escape.”

    Just in from the Shit That Surprises Nobody Department... Support for Donald Trump is linked to darker personality traits, including increased psychopathy and decreased empathy, new research finds. The study also connects conservative political beliefs to lower benevolence, suggesting personality may shape how people engage with politics and ideology.

    If you think electric bikes are bad, there’s a much bigger menace hitting our roads
    https://electrek.co/2025/07/20/if-you-think-electric-bikes-are-bad-theres-a-much-bigger-menace-hitting-our-roads/
    Electric bikes are a menace. They go almost as fast as a car (if the car is parking), they’re whisper quiet (which makes them impossible to hear over the podcast playing in your headphones), and worst of all, they’re increasingly ridden by teenagers. By now, we’ve all seen the headlines. Cities are cracking down. Lawmakers are holding emergency hearings. Parents are demanding bans. “Something must be done,” they cry at local city council meetings before driving back home in 5,000 lb SUVs. And it’s true – some e-bike riders don’t follow the rules. Some ride too fast. Some are inexperienced. These are real problems that deserve real solutions. But if you think electric bikes are the biggest threat on our roads, just wait until you hear about the slightly more common, slightly more deadly vehicle we’ve been quietly tolerating for the last hundred years.
