New: What do RuPaul's Drag Race, Clavicular, and a GOP congressional candidate have in common? Anonymous social accounts are paid to semi-covertly promote them through clips. Social content is rapidly getting shorter and shorter — we're calling it The Clippening. 🎁 www.theverge.com/report/92000...

i have been thinking a lot about “overconsumption” discourse and how it only ever targets female-coded stuff (labubus, fast fashion, makeup) but could absolutely be applied to things like guns

New from @tinanguyen.bsky.social and me: Charlie Kirk's shooter left behind bullet casings with a furry sex meme and a bunch of Helldivers video game references. Subreddits for Helldivers immediately picked up on it. www.theverge.com/politics/777...

You may have seen a viral picture of actress Mia Goth seemingly referencing her recent divorce filing. It was posted by an Instagram page w/ 1M+ followers and a blue checkmark. It was AI. Here's a story about multiple systems of verification/trust failing: www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

“Mia Goth does not have ownership of, nor does she engage in social media on any platform. We have filed multiple complaints with Instagram to remove the verified fan account which continues to post counterfeit, AI images of Mia Goth,” Christine Tripicchio, a representative for Goth, told The Verge in an email. “The fact that this fan account meets Instagram’s criteria to qualify for a ‘blue check’ is disconcerting on a fundamental level. Beyond that, it is incomprehensible that Instagram evidently prioritizes the dissemination of forged and manipulated images over the protection and integrity of a public figure’s likeness.”

If billions of people use chatbots to navigate the web — to shop, order food, call cabs — apps and websites won't be able to show ads, upsell customers, and give discounts. We have been calling this "the DoorDash problem" at @theverge.com. Here it is in action: www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
