To any journalists reading this, please never ever ever do this. Whatever phone you have has a brightness / contrast setting that will let you improve a photo's visibility without altering its details through AI, distorting the same image you're telling people is real and true.
Hello my name is Olivia Reingold and I used ChatGPT to brighten and sharpen an image of a woman in Valentino shoes and a Chanel bag. After processing, it still shows these same things: a woman wearing Valentino shoes and a Chanel bag. She is a real (and chic!) woman, really wearing those items. The observation holds. Here’s the photo I took:

Replying to @Olivia_Reingold
Clarification: this is the party for the entire Michigan Democratic Party, so it’s a data point for the entire state apparatus, not just Abdul El-Sayed’s camp.

Watch this to the end, you won’t regret it. This is what happens when you’re at happy hour and are reminded you agreed to do an interview about your race.

We just released a short film on our investigation into the U.S. bombing of the Minab school in Iran in the opening hours of the war on February 28,2026. The stories survivors, parents, first responders and others shared with us will forever haunt me. youtu.be/9OmK0oeq5fc?si=UuIU…

New: A Florida county discovered Flock cameras along its roads that officials didn’t know were there. No one has publicly claimed them. Who has operated them — and who has had access to their data — remains a mystery. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…
