Movie Monday: ‘The Odyssey’ Earns a Golden Cow’s Worth of Money (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m disappointed with PluggedIn’s review of The Odyssey choosing to make specific mention of the inclusion of Elliot Page (as well as using his deadname) in the cast as a point of contention in the sexual content category, simply because the actor is transgender in real life. For the amount PluggedIn often laments gratuitous content in films, saying that the mere casting of an actor who happens to be transgender, which PluggedIn even specifically states has no bearing on the story or role itself
On the Radar: Apple and Google Nudify Apps, How Parental Screen Time Impacts Kids and WordPress Hackers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What? The city of San Francisco recently demanded that Apple and Google remove all “nudify” apps from their respective app stores. According to a TechCrunch article, investigators found “dozens of apps” allowing for “deepfake NCII [non-consensual intimate images] in exchange for payments.” So What? A nudify app is one that uses software—often AI—to digitally remove clothing from subjects in a photograph. When the Tech Transparency Project first shared the study with Apple and Google, the compani
Conversations with Teens: When Your Teen Turns to AI Instead of You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
According to new research, including a national study published in JAMA Pediatrics, it appears that about 20% of young people between the ages of 12 and 21 turn to AI chatbots for mental health advice instead of going to therapists or the adults in their lives.

That adds up to a lot of teens bringing their thoughts and problems to a robotic program ins
On the Radar: Brown University AI Cheating, Meta Risks Massive Fines and ChatGPT Sycophancy Addiction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When developing software or using it to review my children’s ministry lessons (sigh… Yes I do that)… Syncophany sucks. It’s much better if the AI attacks a bad idea instead of supporting it. Like it doesn’t feel good when it not “supportive” but supporting me developing something incorrectly or misdirecting children is not helpful. Another way to think of this: Po didn’t rise to greatness without Tai Lung.
Conversations with Teens: Ariana Grande and the Celebrity Weight Loss Debate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2025, Wicked: For Good (aka Wicked 2) released in theaters. Press junkets featuring the stars of the film—Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba—revealed that both women had lost quite a bit of weight. Since then, there’s been a ton of media and fan discussion, with some voicing genuine concern for the health of the actresses and others offering up criticism. And with the upcoming release of Grande’s eighth studio album, Petal, on July 31, these conversations have taken flight o
