Sora users trick platform into creating racist celeb videos
Because of course it does.
Guardrails? What guardrails? Naughty netizens found a way to trick the Sora 2 video generator into producing deepfakes of public figures, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and billionaire Mark Cuban, that make it sound as though they're spewing racial slurs. The trick works despite Sora's built-in filters meant to block hateful language.AI detection platform Copyleaks reported Wednesday that its review of the recently released Sora 2 app, with its improved video generation model, uncovered several videos using celebrity likenesses to recreate a 2020 incident in which a man wearing a Burger King crown was kicked off a JetBlue flight for a racist tirade. In place of the James May lookalike from the original incident, Sora users recreated the scene using Altman and Cuban, as well as popular streamers xQc, Amouranth, IDKSterling, and YouTuber Jake Paul.
Sora 2 users weren't able to perfectly recreate the incident, mind you, as OpenAI's software does include guardrails to prevent the creation of content with epithets used in the original (i.e., the n-word). However, a simple homophone can be enough to sidestep those restrictions and make it sound as though public figures, including some who've opted into Sora's Cameo feature, were uttering racist slurs, according to Copyleaks.

Reddit’s ‘AI Scraping’ Lawsuit Is An Attack On The Open Internet
I hate this timeline.
Let’s break this down, because we have to look at how crazy this is.
- They’re saying that these companies are “avoiding or bypassing” Reddit’s TCMs. But, the way they’re doing that is by not scraping Reddit. You cannot claim that it is “circumventing a TCM” to get the same content… from Google. That’s crazy.
- Even crazier is that they’re arguing that the defendants are circumventing Google’s TCM, even though Google isn’t even a party.
- They’re making this claim over content that Reddit holds no copyright over. The copyright remains with the original creator. Reddit holds a license, but a license does not grant Reddit the right to sue over that copyright.
Each one of these ideas is crazy. All three of them together is ludicrous. Reddit is claiming that these companies violated copyright law by (1) avoiding Reddit and (2) getting the content from publicly available Google searches over (3) content that Reddit has no copyright over.
And somehow that’s supposed to be copyright infringement.

The unknown unknowns are real but the way that the article focuses on the part where this approach is bad because it gives people that the author doesn't like power and prestige is pretty funny. The author would rather watch things keep getting worse while waiting for a perfect solution that he knows will never come than he is to let billionaires do something that might make people think they're the good guys.
IMO we should raise sulfur dioxide levels back to where they were before the counterproductive regulations on ship emissions reduced them. We already know that that helped mitigate warming without causing catastrophe.
There aren't a ton of things I can say I'm an expert on, but SAI is. I've done a whole research project on it (can't get into specifics). This is absolutely a bad idea, I don't care who is doing it.
Also I can see you have no idea what you're talking about, because SOx and NOx are pollutants that cause acid rain among other things and damage entire ecosystems. Ya know, the thing that all of life lives in.

NO. I've personally investigated this for one of my projects, and it's a terrible idea. Things like MCB would be better, but SAI is absolutely going to wreak havoc on the entire world, and is only a cover-up for fossil fuel companies to continue to use coal and oil. We need to attack the root of the problem, not just put some duct tape over top, which will end up suffocating the whole world.
Anyone reading, look up Termination Shock (it's a cool book too).

The Zionist entity postpones West Bank annexation bill under international pressure
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postponed the West Bank annexation bill on Thursday following international pressure and U.S. President Donald Trump's statements against approving the bill.
The postponement comes one day after the Knesset (the legislative body) approved the bill to apply Israeli law and sovereignty to settlements in the occupied West Bank , a controversial decision that was immediately criticized by Palestine and the international community. According to Israeli coalition leader Ofir Katz, the process was halted on Netanyahu's direct orders, and party discipline was imposed on those who voted in favor.
President Donald Trump made statements on the matter, affirming that the West Bank would not be annexed by Israel and that he would withdraw all support if it were to happen. Despite being classified by these mediators as a threat to the peace proposal developed by the United States, the ceasefire has not been fulfilled and Israel has continued attacks on occupied territory and blocked the passage of humanitarian aid to Gaza , so there has not yet been true peace for the Palestinian people.
The measure, however, is seen as a precautionary measure by the prime minister to lessen pressure from his main international ally and from Arab countries that value the nation's regional impact . Several countries had issued statements hours earlier condemning the law as a violation of international law and calling on the international community to take action against these Israeli attacks.
The bill was approved last Wednesday as a proposal by legislator Avi Maoz of the far-right Noam party, and was approved with 25 votes in favor and 24 against. The annexation idea does not represent a majority in the Israeli parliament, with the prime minister's party being one of those that did not vote in favor of the law.
Palestine made its discontent known through a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where it reaffirmed that the occupied territories in the West Bank belong to Palestine and that their sovereignty is the responsibility of the Palestinian people and their leaders . The Palestinian territory continues to be attacked by Israel despite the ceasefire, and hunger has remained a weapon of war , despite statements by Pope Leo XIV during the ceremony for the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

US expands facial recognition at borders to track non-citizens
A new regulation will allow U.S. border authorities to require non-citizens to be photographed at airports, seaports, land crossings and any other point of departure, expanding on an earlier pilot program.
Under the regulation, set to take effect on December 26, U.S. authorities could require the submission of other biometrics, such as fingerprints or DNA, it said.
It also allows border authorities to use facial recognition for children under age 14 and elderly people over age 79, groups that are currently exempted.
The tighter border rules reflect a broader effort by U.S. President Donald Trump to crack down on illegal immigration. While the Republican president has surged resources to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, he has also taken steps to reduce the number of people overstaying their visas.
Pentagon orders major naval deployment to Caribbean and South American waters
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the USS Gerald R. Ford and its strike group to deploy to U.S. Southern Command to “bolster U.S. capacity to detect, monitor, and disrupt illicit actors and activities that compromise the safety and prosperity of the United States," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a social media post.
The USS Ford is currently deployed to the Mediterranean Sea along with three destroyers. It would likely take several days for the ships to make the journey to South America.
Deploying an aircraft carrier is a major escalation of military power in a region that has already seen an unusually large U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean Sea and the waters off Venezuela.

New federal loan limits threaten graduate school access for millions of students
Millions of college students could face significant new obstacles paying for graduate school after federal loan limits were signed into law this summer as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Starting July 1, 2026, Grad PLUS loans will be eliminated. Those loans previously allowed graduate students to borrow up to the full cost of attendance.
New borrowers will be limited to $200,000 for professional degrees like law and medicine. Students in other graduate programs can borrow up to $100,000.
How a young tech startup was chosen to manage Texas' $1B school voucher program
When Texas chose a company to roll out the state’s $1 billion private school voucher program, it passed over more established vendors in favor of a four-year-old tech startup that said it could do it for almost half the cost.
Now, Odyssey must execute on its promises to meet an aggressive timeline while avoiding missteps that have dogged other program launches.
The New York-based company has rapidly expanded in recent years, launching programs in eight states that subsidize students’ private education costs with taxpayer dollars.
In Texas, the startup is tasked with advertising the program, running the lottery to choose the students who participate and setting up the online marketplace where families can spend their state funds on private school tuition, tutors, computers and other approved items.

Big Tech helped bankroll the East Wing destruction
Donald Trump is finishing what the British started. Despite promises that the White House would be unaffected by the addition of a $230 million ballroom, the historic East Wing has in fact been demolished. The images of the site are so jarring that the Treasury Department has reportedly ordered its employees to stop taking photos of it.
If the destruction of the East Wing is a shock, the money that’s paying for it might be even more of a scandal. The White House, eager to assure Americans that their tax dollars have not been diverted for a vanity project, has emphasized that the ballroom is being financed by individuals and major corporations. Instead of going through a process to obtain and disburse federal funds, Trump simply asked the companies his administration is supposed to be regulating to write checks.
The list of donors released by the White House includes the usual deep-pocketed Republicans, such as casino magnate Miriam Adelson and private-equity mogul Stephen Schwarzman, but also a host of companies whose leaders have huge incentives to maintain good relations with an often vindictive head of state. They include telecom giants and the railroad giant Union-Pacific—which needs the Trump administration’s sign-off on a proposed $85 billion merger with Norfolk Southern. (Union-Pacific did not respond to a request for comment.) And then there’s the tech companies—Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta.

DHS Tries To Unmask Ice Spotting Instagram Account by Claiming It Imports Merchandise
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is trying to force Meta to unmask the identity of the people behind Facebook and Instagram accounts that post about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity, arrests, and sightings by claiming the owners of the account are in violation of a law about the “importation of merchandise.” Lawyers fighting the case say the move is “wildly outside the scope of statutory authority,” and say that DHS has not even indicated what merchandise the accounts, called Montcowatch, are supposedly importing.
“There is no conceivable connection between the ‘MontCo Community Watch’ Facebook or Instagram accounts and the importation of any merchandise, nor is there any indicated on the face of the Summonses. DHS has no authority to issue these summonses,” lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) wrote in a court filing this month. There is no indication on either the Instagram or Facebook account that the accounts are selling any type of merchandise, according to 404 Media’s review of the accounts. “The Summonses include no substantiating allegations nor any mention of a specific crime or potential customs violation that might trigger an inquiry under the cited statute,” the lawyers add.
A judge temporarily blocked DHS from unmasking the owners last week.
“The court now orders Meta [...] not to produce any documents or information in response to the summonses at issue here without further order of the Court,” the judge wrote in a filing. The move to demand data from Meta about the identities of the accounts while citing a customs statute shows the lengths to which DHS is willing to go to attempt to shut down and identify people who are posting about ICE’s activities.
Montcowatch is, as the name implies, focused on ICE activity in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Its Instagram posts are usually titled “Montco ICE alert” and include details such as where suspected ICE agents and vehicles were spotted, where suspected agents made arrests, or information about people who were detained. “10/20/25 Eagleville,” one post starts. “Suspected dentention [sic] near Ollies on Ridge Pike sometime before 7:50 am. 3 Agents and 3 Vehicles were observed.”
The Instagram account has been posting since June, and also posts information about peoples’ legal rights to film law enforcement. It also tells people to not intervene or block ICE. None of the posts currently available on the Instagram account could reasonably be described as doxing or harassing ICE officials.
On September 11, DHS demanded Meta provide identifying details on the owners of the Montcowatch accounts, according to court records. That includes IP addresses used to access the account, phone numbers on file, and email addresses, the court records add. DHS cited a law “focused on customs investigations relating to merchandise,” according to a filing from the ACLU that pushed to have the demands thrown out.
“The statute at issue here, 19 U.S.C. § 1509, confers limited authority to DHS in customs investigations to seek records related to the importation of merchandise, including the assessment of customs duties,” the ACLU wrote. “Identifying anonymous social media users critical of DHS is not a legitimate purpose, and it is not relevant to customs enforcement.” As the ACLU notes, a cursory look at the accounts shows they are “not engaged in commerce.” The court record points to an 2017 Office of the Inspector General report which says Customs and Border Protection (CBP) “regularly” tried much the same thing with its own legal demands, and specifically around the identity of an anonymous Twitter user.
“Movant now files this urgent motion to protect their identity from being exposed to a government agency that is apparently targeting their ‘community watch’ Facebook and Instagram accounts for doing nothing more than exercising their rights to free speech and association,” those lawyers and others wrote last week.
“Movant’s social media pages lawfully criticize and publicize DHS and the government agents who Movant views as wreaking havoc in the Montgomery County community by shining a light on that conduct to raise community members’ awareness,” they added.
The judge has not yet ruled on the ACLU’s motion to quash the demands altogether. This is a temporary blockage while that case continues.
The Montocowatch case follows other instances in which DHS has tried to compel Meta to identify the owners of similar accounts. Last month a judge temporarily blocked a subpoena that was aiming to unmask Instagram accounts that named a Border Patrol agent, The Intercept reported.
Earlier this month Meta took down a Facebook page that published ICE sightings in Chicago. The move came in direct response to pressure from the Department of Justice.
Both Apple and Google have removed apps that people use to warn others about ICE sightings. Those removals also included an app called Eyes Up that was focused more on preserving videos of ICE abuses. Apple’s moves also came after direct pressure from the Department of Justice.
Montcowatch directed a request for comment to the ACLU of Pennsylvania, which did not immediately respond.

Capitalism evolved out of feudalism in large part due to the availability of fossil fuels. The claim is that capitalism is necessary to manage scarcity, in fact capitalism evolved in the greatest period of wealth humankind will likely ever know. Fossil fuels power capitalism. It is the system that evolved to turn fossil fuels into wealth for the richest.
We could have a currency backed by carbon emissions, which we could use to ration fossil fuel use, but, well, we won't.

“Exploring SFW Content On The Hub” — “Esplorando Contenuti SFW Sull’Hub”
Conosco da tempo immemore il famoso meme per cui qualcuno va su PornHub e assolutamente non per guardare contenuti disgustosi, signora mia, ci mancherebbe, ovviamente guardo solo roba per bene lì sopra, che però su altri siti per qualche motivo non è stata caricata, e quindi mannaggia… Eppure, io pensavo fosse appunto un meme; sapevo che stranamente lì sopra si trovano anche video non pornografici, ed esattamente da ciò sarebbe nato il ridere, ma credevo fossero comunque delle rarità… e, invece, sotto sotto, l’ipotetica scusa di cui sopra potrebbe per qualcuno non essere una scusa, ma la verità. (No, dai, non prendiamoci in giro.) 😳youtube.com/watch?v=ZsxgSk09eD…
PornHub non lo uso (anche perché mi fa paura che, come Facebook, sia fatto in PHP… e intendo PHP vecchio, col routing di merda che negli URL include
.php)… ma, di contro, su YouTube ho infatti trovato questo bel video pazzo, dove questo qui spiega le varie cose safe-for-work (cioè, video che potrebbero stare ovunque) che ha trovato proprio lì sopra, e non a caso: A quanto pare, il sito ha proprio una categoria chiamata SFW, dove vengono inserite le cose che porni non sono… e, tutto sommato, non sono affatto poche. 🤯La cosa che meno mi stupisce è che ci siano video di gaming, perché, come lui stesso dice nel video, i gamer sono praticamente scarafaggi che senza fatica infestano l’intero Internet dall’alba dei tempi — e, aggiungerei io, proprio come scarafaggi temo che riuscirebbero a resistere anche se una bomba atomica virtuale si abbattesse sull’intera rete togliendo di mezzo tutti gli altri — però fa comunque impressione… Soprattutto se il motivo è che su PornHub, contemporaneamente, da un lato si ottengono più visualizzazioni per gli standard di canali medio-piccoli rispetto a YouTube (!), e dall’altro si guadagnano più soldi da queste (e beh, da quel che so PornHub è anche peggio di YouTube senza ad-block, con pubblicità di provenienza più che dubbia, quindi ha senso; i gooner mi correggano se sbaglio). 🥴
Poi, ok, il resto è roba un po’ mista… musica, e anche questo forse non stupisce troppo conoscendo le menti degli artisti, video a caso che ricordano un po’ le istanze PeerTube sfigate, ma direi che se voglio vedere quelli me ne vado appunto su PeerTube, propaganda religiosa, ma anche quella si trova praticamente su qualsiasi sito di condivisione di video, e i commenti dicono che si trovano anche lezioni di matematica, di cui il tizio nel video non ha parlato… e a questo punto io davvero non so più in che linea temporale sto vivendo. Ah e, infine, c’è una specie di meta secondario all’interno di tutto questo, per cui alcuni utenti che caricano video SFW li titolano come se fossero roba NSFW… e un pochino ridere in effetti fa. 💃
La cosa per me relativamente stupefacente, però, è che questa parte del sito non è roba nuova… eppure ha senso, altrimenti non credo che il meme sarebbe mai nato già tanto tempo fa, non essendoci altrimenti stati video SFW caricati in generale, penso. Cercando
"pornhub sfw"sul web (virgolette incluse, altrimenti escono solo risultati del sito di PornHub… ‘stammerda sarebbe da chiudere anche solo per la quantità di SEO spam che fa secondo me), infatti, ci sono vari articoli di testate risalenti addirittura al decennio scorso che parlano di questa cosa… e ho trovato un comunicato della piattaforma di fine 2018 dove annunciano la nuova categoria praticamente come una presa per il culo a Starbucks, che ha voluto vietare ai clienti di guardare porno nei loro negozi: pornhub.com/press/show?id=1741. (…Ma chi cazzo è che guarda i porno mentre prende il caffé al gusto di diabete??? Non penso ci sia nessuno che si impegna così nel rovinare contemporaneamente il corpo e la mente!) 🧸Octt è un’entità completamente safe-for-work, ma forse il suo corpo è comunque interessante. Ora puoi scoprire le conseguenze che ha subito a causa della medicina moderna, su stuffoctt: Intervista alla ragazza magica dopo 50 giorni di terapia riparatoria della discrepanza corporea.

How a Private Company Won the War Waged on It by the Mightiest State: Huawei’s Secret Comeback Revealed
cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/3872
From Toshiba to Huawei: America’s Long War on Superior Competitors.
For decades, the United States championed free markets and fair competition—until it no longer had the upper hand.
Today, oligarchs like Peter Thiel—a key player in the U.S. security apparatus and founder of Palantir, the taxpayer-funded surveillance and profiling giant built with CIA backing—say competition is “bad for business.”
In Thiel’s world, monopoly is not just acceptable; it is the true engine of innovation and profit, turning the American ideal of open markets on its head.
In reality, Washington’s “commitment” to free markets was always lip service. The U.S. has consistently tried to crush superior competitors of its major corporations. Economic warfare is nothing new.
Take Toshiba: According to an August 1992 Los Angeles Times article, it was Japan’s leading chipmaker in the 1980s, commanding about 80% of the global market for dynamic random access memory (DRAM) in 1987.
Like Huawei today, Toshiba became a U.S. target under the banner of “national security.”
After Toshiba and a Norwegian firm sold advanced milling machines to the Soviet Union in 1986—just as other European companies had done—Washington pounced.
It imposed a sweeping two- to five-year ban on all Toshiba products, claiming a threat to U.S. security. This blow cleared the way for American chipmakers, while other foreign companies that sold similar equipment to the USSR escaped unscathed.
Whether Toshiba, Alstom or Swiss banking, the story is the same: Washington weaponizes “law,” “security” and “ethics” to eliminate rivals, then adopts the very practices it condemns abroad.
But Huawei—and by extension, China—is a different kind of target. Unlike Japan, France or Switzerland, China cannot be easily coerced into submission. On the contrary, the U.S. campaign against Huawei is far more likely to backfire, turning into a decisive defeat for the Western aggressors—as the rest of this article will show.

Displaying Images From View Community
Sorry, new guy here.
So about images, on my desktop browser, when I click just on the thumbnail to the side, I'm expecting the image to display. But the image loading graphics just keep looping without any image.
If I click the post, the image typically displays as expected.
On Voyager, tapping the thumbnail loads the image to the screen as expected.
So, I just visited your instance and there is definitely an issue...but I am not sure I will really be of much help. When I click an image, it looks like the lightbox javascript is being blocked by the CSP. Here is what I see in the browser console:
The CSP that ships with piefed should allow the lightbox to run without issue. Perhaps there is a reverse proxy or CDN applying a stricter CSP? Maybe a browser plugin of some kind?
This kind of web admin stuff isn't really my area of expertise though.
That's it, yes.
If we use the browser dev tools to look at the CSP header that the HTML page returns, we can see that piefed.social has a different one than kopitalk.net. Below is piefed.social's one:
It's probably cloudflare or nginx causing that.
EDIT: 2025-10-25 at 11h29 - I deleted the Content-Security-Policy and PieFed displays images as expected.
Reasoning
So after crawling through some very old Reddit posts, I came across other self-hosters discussing their new found interest in Security Headers from 5 years ago (dated, yes). Among the comments was a post by pentesticals (glorious):
::: spoiler quote
Don't stress about security headers and CSP. These are there to help provide additional protection against client-side issues which may or may not be present.
These will not have any direct impact on your services you expose, rather they aim to be a last resort to protect your browser in case an attacker tries to exploit existing vulnerabilities such as a Cross Site Scripting - but not having these does not increase the risk of your server being compromised.
Use Nessus Essentials for scanning your services and have fun.

I use Caddy and I can indeed see the security headers that involve CSP. How should this setting be amended?
For what it's worth I looked over the "Using Caddy as reverse proxy" for Lemmy, and I notice that they just don't use the Content-Security-Policy option at all. I'm wondering if I should simply delete this Header for PieFed.

"Analog bags" are in. Doomscrolling is out.
The latest must-have accessory is a "stop-scrolling bag" -- a tote packed with analog activities like watercolors and crossword puzzles. We spend hours glued to our screens. "Analog bags," as they're also called, are one way millennials and Gen Zers are reclaiming that time. "I basically just put everything I could grab for instead of my phone into a bag," including knitting, a scrapbook and a Polaroid camera, says Sierra Campbell, the content creator behind the trend.The 31-year-old keeps one bag at home in Northern California, carrying it from room to room, and another in her car. The trend has quickly spread on social media, part of a bigger shift to unplug. Roughly 1,600 TikTok posts were tagged #AnalogLife during the first nine months of 2025 -- up over 330% from the same period last year, according to TikTok data shared with Axios.
"It speaks to an incredible desperation and desire for experiences that return our attention to us, that fight brain-rotting, that are tactile ... that involve creating over scrolling," says Beth McGroarty, vice president of research at the Global Wellness Institute.

This Month’s Poem
On The Ning Nang Nong
Spike Milligan
On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There’s a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots jibber jabber joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang
And you just can’t catch ’em when they do!
So its Ning Nang Nong
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning
Trees go ping
Nong Ning Nang
The mice go Clang
What a noisy place to belong
is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

I guess it's a little more compact to make it internal, but I'd think that an external USB drive would be a much better option, not compete for space in the laptop. I mean, people can't be using the thing all the time.
considers
Though there was a point in the past when laptop vendors would design the laptop to support a secondary battery in the optical drive bay if you didn't want an internal optical drive, and that would be something I'd like. That's the only way you can exceed the 100Wh maximum on flights, if the battery is a spare removeable, not built-in.
