A viral image generator by OpenAI has sparked outrage after a meme posted by the White House depicted ICE agents apprehending a Dominican immigrant in a whimsical Studio Ghibli style. The Verge critiques the normalization of callousness as a form of power, while additional stories cover a police raid at a Quaker gathering, the vandalism of a historic site by individuals possibly needing medical care, and a controversial pronatalist conference in Austin organized by far-right influencers promoting white genetic superiority. Protests followed concerning a swastika flag spotted in Morgan Hill, underlining societal unrest.
The Verge muses that the image demonstrates how both OpenAI and the current administration are products of a sinister mindset that considers basic decency as weakness and callousness as the prerogative of power.
Participants' laptops and phones were seized, and six women were arrested during a police raid on a peaceful gathering at a Quaker meeting house.
The National Park Service suspects that the vandals responsible for spray-painting hate speech at the SF-88 Nike Missile site may have sought medical treatment for chemical burns after their act.
The sold-out pronatalist conference in Austin includes far-right influencers paying $10,000 to find partners, with controversial remarks about genetic superiority from the organizer.
