  1. Ok - this has now gotten SERIOUS! Musk and X (former CEO Yaccarino) now face a formal criminal investigation by France.

    French cybercrime authorities are now investigating alleged algorithmic manipulation by X to influence and interfere in French politics, and allegations that Musk and X knowingly allowed users of the AI chatbot Grok to create and spread Holocaust denials and nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfake images, and child sexual abuse materials on X.

    The Paris public prosecutor’s office is requesting indictments of X.AI Holdings Corp, X Corp, and X AI, Elon Musk, and Linda Yaccarino. If they fail to appear they may face judicial warrants that will serve as indictments. cnbc.com/2026/05/07/french-pro

  2. CW: Clever idea, AI slop, Legal Commentary

    On the same day as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the Helluva Boss NSFW short “Barbie’s Bad Day” was released. Then the FBI and DOJ pivoted to indicting Comey for an Instagram post because, according to Trump, mob folk in the movies once used "86" as code for murder. The bare-bones indictment certainly didn't disclose that Comey deleted the post, said he had no idea a 1930s diner code still in daily use today had violent implications, or “apologized” (citation required!) — claimed facts Kash Patel went ahead and described at his press conference, apparently violating grand jury secrecy in the process.

    So while AG Blanche tries to dig himself out of the hole of vindictive prosecution and to wrestle with the “true threat” standard of Elonis v. US (2015); US v. White, (4th Cir. 2016); and Counterman v. Colorado (2023), let’s look at the following AI slop.

    • Quotes are from “Barbie’s Bad Day” and "Mammon's Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special (ft Fizzarolli)"

    • I know the difference between Barbie Wire and some generic Verosika/Imp/Hot Topic girl — this is AI slop, not the work of a talented artist

    • Obsessive fans will know the actual Asmodeus quote is “Mammon can eat my ass. In a bad way.” but the “but” is necessary to capture the duality of meaning to the average person on the street.

    • And duality of meaning is just one of the many, many reasons this Comey indictment needs to be mocked rather than being respected as administration of justice.

  10. It happened at #SdeTeiman, a facility holding #Palestinians rounded up in #Gaza during Israel’s #war against #Hamas. The leaked video was aired by Israel’s Channel 12 & bitterly divided #Israel.

    Hard-line ultranationalists were furious that the soldiers were arrested. Members of #Netanyahu’s govt were in uproar, leading to the resignation of the military’s top legal official, who had filed the #indictment & authorized the leak.

  11. Maduro has possible legal challenges – likely long shots – we will see at some point.

    1) Head of State and Official Acts Immunity – provides that the current head of a foreign state may not be tried either criminally or civilly in a US court. The question = Maduro a “current head of a foreign state”.

    2) Official Acts Immunity – Maduro may claim the accused illegal acts were official conduct and those cannot be prosecuted. Will the Courts accept the executive branch’s assertion that the activities are not “official” acts. The Supreme Court has yet to resolve this and have characterized it as “thorny” question.

    3) Venue – Current law states that defendants from other countries must be tried “in the district in which the offender ... is arrested or first brought”. Before arriving in New York State, there was a stop in Guantanamo Bay. Maduro could argue he was not “first brought” to SDNY, therefore the case is null.
