LA couple slapped with automatic $293 parking ticket — but their dashcam tells a very different story
Things like this piss me off because 1) NO $300 ticket should be issued from cameras. Zero. A real police officer, seeing it in real time, with their own eyes. No automatic tickets from cameras and not from the officer who sits on their butt at a desk, randomly giving a photo returned by a flock or other camera a 2 second glance then signing off on it. Nope. And 2) they HAVE a dashcam video. This should be common sense that one officer or person says "You are right. We were wrong. Dismissed and erased." It should NOT TAKE 8 MONTHS FOR THINGS LIKE THIS. Come on people... we can do better. Go back to good old common sense.
Fake California women’s festival used ‘AI slop’ ads to trick vendors into paying $185
This is standing out right now but soon... it's going to happen so much it won't make the news.
‘Hot garbage:’ Trader Joe’s fans spot telltale signs of ‘sloppy’ changes to beloved in-store experience
As AI grows, and little mistakes like the 6 fingered gnome are better made by AI slop... we won't be able to tell. AI was a slippery slope that we are already on and there is no stopping it now. Too many people have their hands in it and you can't take it back.

California Dems left sex assault complaint unanswered for months — then endorsed accused candidate
San Francisco Democrats built a system to hold politicians accountable for sexual misconduct — then failed to check the inbox set up to receive complaints, leaving one claim of sexual assault unanswered for nearly four months.
The breakdown began March 3, when a political organizer lodged a complaint to the “first-of-its-kind” reporting system set up by the party to field reports of sexual misconduct, NBC Bay Area reported.
The organizer, Brad Chapin, accused San Francisco Board of Supervisors candidate Manny Yekutiel of sexually assaulting him at a house party in 2020.
Chapin alleged Yekutiel cornered him, reached into his pants and grabbed his testicles. He told the outlet that attempts to pull away prompted Yekutiel to tighten his grip.
Chapin said he decided to report the alleged encounter after learning Yekutiel was seeking the District 8 supervisor seat, which covers the Castro, Noe Valley and parts of the Mission District.
When the San Francisco Democratic Party finally reviewed the accusation months later, it dismissed the complaint on jurisdictional grounds and endorsed him the very same day.
The endorsement eventually unraveled after two more men accused Yekutiel of sexual misconduct and the once-promising candidate suspended his campaign.
