Florida Man takes "my pleasure" too far

Central Florida man ‘exposed his genitals’ at Chick-fil-A drive thru, deputies say

A Palm Coast man was arrested after being accused of exposing himself to a minor at a fast-food drive thru last week, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

In a release, deputies said they responded to the incident on April 24 at a Chick-fil-A along State Road 100.

Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the victim — a minor — who claimed that a customer had “exposed his genitals” to her while she was working at the drive-thru window, the release states.

“The victim told deputies that she was handing the customer his food and saw his exposed genitals with a blueish-green circular object, which she believed to be a sex toy, around his penis,” the release reads.

Dude, really?

AI is asshoe - but this is funny

South Africa Cancels AI Policy After Evidence That It was Partially Written by AI

Last month, South Africa’s Communications minister announced that he had decided to withdraw the country’s national AI policy after discovering that at least 6 of its 67 academic citations turned out to be AI hallucinations, mentioning journal articles that didn’t exist.

“The most plausible explanation is that AI-generated citations were included without proper verification. ​This should not have happened,” Solly Malatsi said. “This ⁠failure is not a mere technical issue but ​has compromised the integrity and credibility of the ​draft policy.”

The National Artificial Intelligence Policy sought to position South Africa as a leader in AI innovation, while attempting to address ethical, social, and ‌economic ⁠challenges, but only managed to embarrass the South African government after media outlets discovered that a significant part of the document had been created by AI.

This is actually not surprising to me. How about you?
