bluesky introducing age verification for UK users via Epic Games toolkit makes me happy that in Mastodon British users don't need to sign up on UK-based instances 
(on the other hand I'm worried that eventually Ofcom will come for British instance owners and there will be further avalanche of shutting them down)

Elon Musk's AI Grok made antisemitic comments and threatened to assault a political commentator this week. According to Musk, it's coming to Tesla next week. The billionaire announced this on X today (Thursday). @Techcrunch reports that while poking around in Tesla's firmware, a hacker known as "green" found that drivers can choose between certain "personalities" including argumentative, conspiracy, therapist, sexy and unhinged. Musk said recently that Grok will be the voice and brain of robot Optimus. What could possibly go wrong?!

One of the things I don't see talked about at all with regard to people using AI for everything instead of thinking themselves, is the cognitive function decline due to repeated covid infections (and probably undiagnosed long covid).
And, of course, AI is driving these cuts!
Indeed and Glassdoor are cutting more than 1,000 jobs
Bluesky is rolling out age verification in the U.K. in an effort to comply with the country's Online Safety Act. The platform will use Kid Web Services, an Epic Games-owned tool, and users can verify their age by scanning their face, uploading an ID or entering details for a payment card. If users don't want to verify their age or are under 18, they will be able to have an account with limited features. Here's more from @theverge.
