We didn't go down that route, because even slightly rephrasing the request allowed us to directly get a pic of the iconic Charles Schultz character. "Generate a cartoon image of Snoopy in his original style," we asked - and with zero hesitation, ChatGPT produced the spitting image of the "Peanuts" dog, looking like he was lifted straight from a page of the comic-strip.

In a joint statement between the AI company and the King Estate, the parties wrote that they "have worked together to address how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s likeness is represented in Sora generations. Some users generated disrespectful depictions of Dr. King's image. So at King, Inc.'s request, OpenAI has paused generations depicting Dr. King as it strengthens guardrails for historical figures."

Facebook has taken down a "large group page that was being used to dox and target [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents in Chicago," U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on X Tuesday.

Senate Commerce Committee Chair Ted Cruz (R-TX) was one of a handful of Republicans to speak out against the "mafioso"-like comments Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr issued ahead of Jimmy Kimmel's suspension last month. Now, he's hoping the liberal outrage over government censorship will fuel bipartisan support for a new bill letting Americans sue over speech violations. Cruz plans to introduce the bill in the coming weeks, he told The Wall Street Journal in an interview.

The filmmaker could not get Tiggy the alien to cooperate. He just needed the glistening brown creature to turn its head. But Tiggy, who was sitting in the passenger's seat of a cop car, kept disobeying. At first Tiggy rotated his gaze only slightly. Then he looked to the wrong side of the camera.

It's becoming increasingly clear that OpenAI put staggeringly little thought into the rollout of Sora 2, its latest text-to-video generating app, a "move fast and break things" approach that has resulted in plenty of drama. Last week, the Sam Altman-led company released the TikTok-style app that churns out endless feeds of low-rent and mind-numbing AI slop. It's an " unholy abomination" that intentionally encourages users to generate deepfakes of others,

Meta has been getting content moderation wrong for years, like most platforms that host user-generated content. Sometimes it's a result of deliberate design choices-privacy rollbacks, opaque policies, features that prioritize growth over safety-made even when the company knows that those choices could negatively impact users. Other times, it's simply the inevitable outcome of trying to govern billions of posts with a mix of algorithms and overstretched human reviewers.

Without directly naming SafetyCore, Google explained that the optional setting can blur photos that may contain nudity and display a warning before you view or share them. Sensitive Content Warnings appears to use SafetyCore to analyze images locally on your device. Google has emphasized that SafetyCore runs entirely on your phone -- images don't leave your device, and Google doesn't know if nudity was flagged.

Google appears to have blocked AI search results for the query "does trump show signs of dementia" as well as other questions about his mental acuity, even though it will show AI results for similar searches about other presidents. When making the search about President Trump, AI Overviews will display a message that says, "An AI Overview is not available for this search":
