After her letter to City Hall went unanswered, a teenager from Staten Island took to Instagram with a plea for Mayor Mamdani. “I have only one wish, and that’s for me to get free bus rides to school next year,” 17-year-old Daeun Kim begins in the video, which published on Thursday. Kim is about to start her final year at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts — whose alumni include actor Timothée Chalamet — in Lincoln Square next fall. Daeun Kim is begging Mayor Mamdani for free bus rides for Staten Island students. Instagram/@daeunk_im She said her parents, working-class immigrants from Korea, have had to shell out a whopping $18,270 just in bus fare to send her and her brother to public school in Manhattan over the past four years. Students get free public transit rides with their OMNY cards, but express buses are excluded. That’s what most Staten Island students like her — who go to school in the city — have to take, she said. “People bring up the free ferry but for a lot of us, the ferry isn’t close. It would mean a 30-minute drive or a 90-minute bus ride

Photo Credit: Getty Images LinkedIn may be full of complaints about AI-generated "thought leadership," but one experiment suggests the platform may still be rewarding exactly that kind of content. A deliberately bad tool called Cringebot 3000 appears to show just how easily synthetic, engagement-driven posts can spread. Here's what to know According to a test highlighted by Business Insider, a journalist used Cringebot 3000 — a generator for over-the-top, cliché-heavy LinkedIn posts — and found that the fake update performed better than the reporter's other posts. Behind the site is Peter Epstein, who owns a Los Angeles PR firm with clients in the advertising business. Epstein said, "The goal is to make it a little less serious and try to take what's become its own sort of form, like poetry — LinkedIn 'thought leadership' is its own form — and try to take that form and make it a little more fun and a little more silly." For the test, the reporter typed in "AI in journalism" and got back a melodramatic workplace story that ended with the line, "The AI called me moderate. The sisterhood said: absolutely not." Even with a disclosure attached, the post still drew strong engagement.

You can keep Instagram from using your activity outside the app to influence the ads you get. Charles-McClintock Wilson/Shutterstock Instagram can make an ad feel almost telepathic. Browse a product on another site, and an ad for the same thing may appear in your feed minutes later. Despite its uncanny accuracy, Meta says it doesn't use your phone's microphone to listen in on your conversations to serve those ads. A retailer, app or other business may instead have sent it information about your visit, purchase or another interaction. There's no master switch that stops Instagram from collecting or using data. Meta can still learn from what you search for, watch, like, follow, post and click inside Instagram. It also receives device and network information, location-related signals, data from businesses and information shared across connected accounts. On top of that, Meta AI can use Facebook and Instagram activity to tailor its recommendations, too. The best approach to limiting what Instagram can track is to check settings for each of these sources separately.
