Byron High School warns parents about concerning social media AI filter – WIFR

BYRON, Ill. (WIFR) - Byron High School is the latest to be hit with a new artificial intelligence Snapchat filter popular with teens. About a week ago, Byron High School administrators began hearing commotion about a new AI filter making the rounds among students. “We didn’t know anything about it, we just heard about it,” said Byron High School Principal, Andy Donaldson. “Unfortunately, early this week we had a situation pop up which we had to handle and then we learned more about it.” The Snapchat filter uses AI to create images of people doing whatever the user asks it to. All the user has to do is type in a statement and it will create a photo within seconds, regardless of whether someone knows they are in the photo. “We want them to understand that what they put on social media can impact others,” Donaldson explained. School leaders said they have seen students use the filter to generate photos like ‘make them kiss’ and ‘make them fight,’ sending waves of uncertainty through the hallways of whether the photos were real or fake. “It was fortunately an isolated incident right now from what were working with,” Donaldson said. Leaders go

Afghans report restrictions on Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat | Ariana News | Afghanistan News

The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) has expressed deep concern over the Pakistani government’s decision to de-notify 16 Afghan refugee villages across Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Punjab, warning that the move could lead to forced returns of Afghans, including registered refugees, to Afghanistan. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the UNHCR said that many Afghan refugees have lived in these villages for decades and have established livelihoods and communities. Forcing them to leave within a short period, it warned, could have “serious and negative impacts” on their lives, livelihoods, and reintegration prospects in Afghanistan. “The return of refugees should be organised, phased, voluntary, and carried out in dignity and safety, with respect for rights and protection of those in need,” said Philippa Candler, UNHCR’s Representative in Pakistan. The decision follows the government’s Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan (IFRP), under which Afghan nationals residing without valid documentation have been asked to leave the country. The policy has prompted growing international concern, especially regarding vulnerable groups. UNHCR also raised alarm over the impact on women and girls, noting that they risk being sent back to a country where their rights to work and education remain severely restricted. “Pakistan has been a generous host

39. Bobby Murphy – Los Angeles Business Journal

Murphy, the chief technology officer at Snap Inc., co-founded the social media platform in 2011 with Evan Spiegel when the pair were students at Stanford University. Snapchat, the vertical-video and photo disappearing platform, differed significantly from other mainstream social media companies that were on the market at the time. At 37, Murphy owns around 50% of all voting shares in Snap. (He and Spiegel share 99% of the company’s shares.) When Murphy became a billionaire overnight as the result of Snap’s 2017 IPO, he used the money to purchase a spate of real estate properties in the Los Angeles Area. Real estate: One of them is a duplex on the Manhattan Beach Strand, which he bought for $14.5 million. It was another notch in the belt for the tech company billionaire, who has a recorded history of owning six other multimillion-dollar homes. In 2019, he owned $37 million in property, including a home he had bought that year for $6 million. Platform expansion: Murphy has maintained a low profile in the 14 years since Snapchat was created, but the company’s tech platform has been expanding. Snapchat’s 930 million users have generated over one trillion selfies on the app using the
