As I read this, I find I have many questions. Can a 12 year old give consent? Does pasting a head on a nude make it a depiction of that person? I expect this to be educational…

Florida Middle Schoolers Arrested for Allegedly Creating Deepfake Nudes of Classmates
… The Florida case appears to be the first arrests and criminal charges as a result of alleged sharing of AI-generated nude images to come to light. The boys were charged with third-degree felonies—the same level of crimes as grand theft auto or false imprisonment—under a state law passed in 2022 which makes it a felony to share “any altered sexual depiction” of a person without their consent.
Perhaps there is a “right way to use AI in the elections?
Underdog Who Beat Biden in American Samoa Used AI in Election Campaign
The little-known presidential candidate who beat President Biden in American Samoa’s Democratic caucus earlier this week says artificial intelligence played a big role in his campaign strategy.
Jason Palmer, an impact investor and venture capitalist who entered the race in November, has leveraged generative AI to communicate with voters via SMS text and email, and answer specific questions about his background and policy. Additionally, Palmer’s campaign website has an avatar, PalmerAI, that answers questions with the candidate’s voice and likeness.
Palmer himself never set foot on the tiny territory of islands in the South Pacific during the campaign, conducting his entire bid virtually. He credits his 11-vote victory to an exceptional local team and its grassroots effort, but also said his use of AI made a meaningful difference.
… Palmer spent less than $5,000 on the American Samoa campaign. “If I had millions of dollars to market to Colorado or Vermont, who knows I might have been more competitive in those states,” he said.

LITTLE NEW ABOUT HAMPSHIRE
On March 6, 2024, Governor Sununu signed SB 255 into law, making New Hampshire the fourteenth U.S. State to adopt a comprehensive privacy law to govern the collection, use, and transfer of personal data. SB 255 is the second comprehensive privacy law enacted in 2024, the first having been New Jersey’s S332, which was also a holdover from the 2023 legislative session. Another example of states following the “Connecticut model,” S255 bears a strong resemblance to other laws following the Washington Privacy Act (WPA) framework. The law will take effect on January 1, 2025. This blog post addresses two unique facets of SB 255, including its narrow rulemaking authority and a unique provision addressing conflicts with other laws, while ultimately reflecting on how SB 255 is arguably the first “boring” state comprehensive privacy law.

Top US cybersecurity agency hacked and forced to take some systems offline
… One of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s affected systems runs a program that allows federal, state and local officials to share cyber and physical security assessment tools, according to the US officials briefed on the matter. The other holds information on security assessment of chemical facilities, the sources said.
A CISA spokesperson said in a statement that “there is no operational impact at this time” from the incident and that the agency continues to “upgrade and modernize our systems.”

You Can't Have an AI Chatbot Without an LLM. Here's How That All Works
When you interact with an AI chatbot like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini, it may seem like you're talking to another person.
But these chatbots don't actually understand the meaning of words the way we do. Instead, they are how we interact with what are known as large language models, or LLMs. This underlying technology is trained to recognize how words are used and which ones frequently appear together so it can predict future words, sentences or paragraphs.
… If you're wondering what LLMs have to do with AI, this explainer is for you. Here's what you need to know about LLMs.
I would never, ever try this… Probably.
Lincoln woman exploits pump glitch to get over $27,000 of free gas, police say
… Upon further investigation, police learned that the fuel pumps received a software update in November of 2022. The update managed orders and reward cards, and it was made at the request of customers and staff.
Unbeknownst to the company, however, the update was exploitable. It allowed anyone to swipe a rewards card twice to enter the pump into a demo mode. From there, the user could pump gas for free.
