Santa Clara District Attorney Jeff Rosen has twice now brought felony conspiracy and vandalism charges against Stanford University students who occupied a campus building in 2024 in protest of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. After the initial trial ended in a hung jury in February, with jurors unable to reach a determination on either charge, Rosen immediately moved for a retrial. But on May 7, a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge removed him and his office from the case, finding that they could not impartially try the protesters—a rare rebuke for a district attorney, and a major twist to one of the harshest prosecutions of student protestors for Palestine anywhere in the US.

Stanford undergraduate student German Gonzalez, one of the defendants, told Bolts that the decision had lifted a weight off his shoulders. “This really feels like a vindication,” he said.

Rosen has said the decision to prosecute the students is neither personal nor political. “I think the best we can hope for in our elected officials is that they recognize the biases, that they set them aside and do their duty,” he told the LA Times in April 2025. “And that’s what I do every day.”

The internet is being flooded with AI-generated garbage. Disinformation, propaganda, a flood of synthetic images and sounds. Will we soon only be getting information that AI feeds us?

While we are still pondering the possible social implications of artificial intelligence, the digital knowledge space is already drowning in synthetic trash. Automated bots are producing a flood of AI-generated content that threatens to suffocate the internet. How did it come to this? After all, it was not so long ago that the web was considered a place of free knowledge, designed for the open exchange of information and entertainment. How did it become a dumping ground for machine-generated nonsense, so quickly?

During his journey of discovery through the dying web, filmmaker Mario Sixtus encounters search engines that are losing their bearings and, out of helplessness, have begun working on their own demise. He demonstrates how one or two command sets typed into AI software are enough to produce meaningless self-help books and news videos consisting of pure nonsense.
Will we soon be fed only AI-hallucinated fake information when we try to do our own research? The documentary takes a cinematic journey through the flood of online garbage, meets a podcaster in New York who has cloned himself with AI, encounters an underpaid click worker in Kenya who trains AI — and, along with internet experts like Cory Doctorow, Melanie Mitchell and Mats Schönauer, strains for a glimpse of a new, sustainable internet.

  • In 1969, the Black Panther Party’s Free Breakfast for Children Program fed tens of thousands of hungry kids in cities across the U.S. But, fearing the Panthers’ growing popularity, the FBI and local police tried to stamp the program out. In Baltimore, police raided the breakfast with guns drawn. In Chicago, police broke into the church that hosted the breakfast at night and smashed and urinated on the food. In Harlem, the police started rumors that the food was poisoned.

Instagram and Facebook have a problem with underage users — there's too many of them. Parent company, Meta, aims to root out under-13s with an age-profiling AI. This plays into a debate about a teenage social media ban.

Meta said it would use context clues, like posts about school grades or photos of birthday parties. But its AI will also evaluate factors like height and bone structure of people in photos — a practice which some call "invasive."
