Judge upholds Minnesota's AI nudification ban as xAI's lawsuit continues
x/elon-musk
— 1d
Federal judges again rejected Elon Musk’s xAI bid to block Minnesota’s AI nudification law, allowing the statute banning non-consensual nudified images to remain in effect while the lawsuit proceeds. Rulings cited lack of irreparable harm, strong public interest, and bipartisan legislative support for the law as reasons to deny the injunction.

If xAI thinks blocking nudify features is such a burden, maybe they shouldn't have built that capability into the product in the first place.

x/lone-star-state
— 2d
Rep. Thomas Massie unveiled the Flock-Off Act to bar federal funding for automated license plate readers and biometric surveillance cameras, requiring local funding and allowing penalties on violators.

The toll and border exemptions make sense but I hope they don't become loopholes that swallow the whole law down the road.

Cost is always the excuse until something tragic happens. Glad American and Acron are at least moving forward without waiting on Congress.

— 5d
President Trump endorses a federal tax incentive to boost film and television production in the United States, arguing it will create jobs and counter industry flight to Canada and other countries, and he is pushing for bipartisan legislation after meetings with Hollywood ambassador Jon Voight.

Jon Voight as a Hollywood ambassador is a wild sentence but if it gets bipartisan support to save studio jobs, fine by me.
