What’s The ‘Pizza Meter’ And How Did It Become A Meme?

The Pentagon Pizza Orders Conspiracy Theory Explainer. The bigger the crisis and the more time government staffers are stuck in their offices, the more pizza they eat. At least that’s what the internet thinks according to the “Pizza Meter” theory, which some believe could even predict the beginning of a possible World War III. The relatively old conspiracy theory resurfaced in early August this year after X user @RealBenGeller tweeted about the Pizza Meter being “off the charts” and the “bars” in Washington, D.C. being empty, sparking more predictions of a possible war or alarming controversy building inside the U.S. government. How could pizza deliveries indicate a possible threat of war? Allow us to explain! What Is The Pizza Meter Theory? The Pizza Meter, also known as the Pentagon Pizza Orders Theory, is a theory proposing that upticks in pizza orders received by restaurants near the Pentagon can predict international conflicts and times of crisis in the U.S. government. The concept originated in the early 1990s after a Domino’s Pizza franchise owner in Northern Virginia near the Pentagon named Frank Meeks, told newspapers that before major national security events, he saw a noticeable uptick in business…”

The NO FAKES Act Has Changed – and It’s So Much Worse

A bill purporting to target the issue of misinformation and defamation caused by generative AI has mutated into something that could change the internet forever, harming speech and innovation from here on out.

The Nurture Originals, Foster Art and Keep Entertainment Safe (NO FAKES) Act aims to address understandable concerns about generative AI-created “replicas” by creating a broad new intellectual property right. That approach was the first mistake: rather than giving people targeted tools to protect against harmful misrepresentations—balanced against the need to protect legitimate speech such as parodies and satires—the original NO FAKES just federalized an image-licensing system.

The updated bill doubles down on that initial mistaken approach by mandating a whole new censorship infrastructure for that system, encompassing not just images but the products and services used to create them, with few safeguards against abuse.

The new version of NO FAKES requires almost every internet gatekeeper to create a system that will a) take down speech upon receipt of a notice; b) keep down any recurring instance—meaning, adopt inevitably overbroad replica filters on top of the already deeply flawed copyright filters;  c) take down and filter tools that might have been used to make the image; and d) unmask the user who uploaded the material based on nothing more than the say so of person who was allegedly “replicated.”
