Chinatowns throughout the U.S. are under threat, but tragically this has been the case for some time now. In New York, a new detention center will soon ominously hover over Baxter Street, despite stiff community pushback. Meanwhile, a new stadium for the 76ers nearly decimated Philadelphias Chinatown, although that project was stymied thanks in part to local activists. The city of Denver, Colorado once had its own thriving Chinatown, a place tucked between Wazee and Market Streets, and 15th and 20th Streets. In 1880, a white supremacist mob attacked that enclave, killing one person and injuring many more. The episode came to be known as the Bloody Riot and virtually destroyed Denvers Chinatown, a horrific moment not unlike the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.Li challenged students to consider new futures for buildings in Denvers Lower Downtown, or LoDo. (Act One Photography)Nevertheless, Denvers Chinatown was slowly rebuilt, that was until after World War II, when the neighborhood was mostly razed and replaced with light industrial buildings. Today, Coors Field, stretches of urban freeways, and factory buildings stand where the neighborhood used to.An exhibition currently on view at the University of Colorado at Denver College of Architecture and Planning (CAP) shines a spotlight on this history, but also the challenges so many Chinatowns face today more broadly. Where is Denvers Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined was co-curated by professor Leyuan Li. Its happening in collaboration with History Colorado and Colorado Asian Pacific United, two local nonprofits. The exhibition is located on the first floor of History Colorado Center at 1200 Broadway Street in downtown Denver.Where is Denvers Chinatown?formally opened last year but, these next few weeks, there will be complementary roundtables and lectures to accompany the show. Panelists and moderators will include Sophie Chien, Joie Ha, Yin Kong, Bz Zhang, Samantha Martin, An Tairan, Chenchen Yan, Zhiyan Yang, Sarah Hearne, Xiaoxi Chen, Lily Wong, and Linda Zhang.A model of LoDo (Jesse Kuroiwa)Molly Rose Merkert, a masters student at CAP, was Lis curatorial assistant. Li and Merkert worked with Tairan An and others as collaborators. The full programming can be accessed here.Li is an assistant professor at CAP whos spent the last few years researching this topic. In 2023, he taught an undergraduate studio, titled The Suppressed Interior, that challenged students to interrogate Denvers Chinatown, namely its past, present, and future. The ephemera on view in the show comes from the studio Li taught, which yielded drawings and models.(Act One Photography)Two years ago, when I just moved to Denver, I asked myself, as one of the most rapidly growing cities in the country, where is Denvers Chinatown? Li shared in a statement. To better understand this silenced history, in my course, I guided students to comb through historical documents and archives, and later on design architectural drawings and models that reimagine a spatial toolkit for revitalizing the former Chinatown neighborhood.The models postulate new futures for LoDo. (Jesse Kuroiwa)Li continued: As conflicting sites of labor, immigration, culture, race, and identity, the future of Chinatowns sit at the constant influx of environmental, social, and political dissonance that destabilizes the production of a healthy, shared community for constituencies inhabiting within. What are the possible futures for Chinatowns amidst the context of gentrification emergencies and collective crises? What are the practices of social justice that remain unseen and underrepresented in the architectural discipline?(Act One Photography)In response to these questions, it is imperative that we, as architects and educators, are committed to promoting the civil and social value of architecture, guiding our students to understand the agency of architecture as a form of advocacy to confront spatial injustices and empower historically underrepresented communities, Li added.Where is Denvers Chinatown? will remain open through August 9.

Completed in 1974 for the now defunct Pine Manor College in Brookline, Massachusetts, this interesting Contemporary/Shed style building is modern, yet employs materials and a general form that fits into its surrounding context. When Pine Manor College received a grant by the Abercrombie Foundation, planning began immediately to design and build the Abercrombie Fine Arts Wing of the school. The building was designed by Paul J. Carroll & Associates, and features a bold roofline with clerestory windows, used to provide ample natural light for the classroom and art studio spaces inside. The building remains a part of the newly established Messina College, a Boston College campus enrolling first-generation high-financial need students, giving all an opportunity for education, no matter their circumstances.

All images courtesy of the artist and Hashimoto Contemporary, shared with permissionThrough Landscapes Marred by Climate Disaster, Seonna Hong Mines Past LivesFebruary 25, 2025ArtGrace EbertIn Past Lives, Seonna Hong excavates the way experiences seem to stack upon each other, sometimes slipping through or re-emerging when we dont expect them. Through her signature abstract vistas, Hong creates what can be called memory landscapes, vast scenes that layer themes of environmental destruction, personal reflections, and the artists own Korean heritage.On view at Saint Marys College Museum of Art, Past Lives comprises 32 works, many of which have been altered from their original form. For example, the Los Angeles-based artist revised The Loved Ones by softening the edges of bulky, striped blocks in the background and anonymizing a pair of young girls while giving their figures more clarity. Selective Abstraction is similar and features a bolder streak of bright pink across the canvas, a recurring mark in Hongs latest works.The Loved Ones, acrylic, oil pastel on raw canvas, framed, 10 x 10 inchesThe exhibition title comes from Celine Songs 2023 film structured around inyeon, an ancient concept of fated love that emerges in one life after another. Hong adds: I have included pieces that show my past lives as well as older works that, in the spirit of re-use, repurpose, and upcycling, have been painted into and brought from the past into the present, being mindful to not just gesso over the canvas (a literal and metaphorical whitewash) but include some of its history, the layers.With barren trees, colorful mounds, and diminutive figures ambling among the terrain, the paintings emphasize the ways the past emerges in the present. Despite their bright hues, Hongs landscapes are deteriorating and experiencing the very real blight of climate disaster. Two new pieces depict figures in the parched Atacama desert, clambering atop enormous heaps of discarded clothing. Bringing the immense waste of fast fashion and consumerism to the fore, the compositions capture the ways our decisions are never relegated to the past and how our choices affect even the most sparsely populated regions on the planet.As with previous bodies of work, Hongs Korean ancestry appears, as well. A large, upright bear shifts its weight to one side in More Bridges Less Walls. The animal plays an important role in a Korean creation myth, which says that the powerful, devoted mammal was turned into a woman who went on to start the nation.Past Lives is on view through June 22 in Moraga, California.

Recommended By Greg Wehner Fox News Published February 25, 2025 10:55am EST close iPhone voice-to-text appears to write 'Trump' when user says 'racist' iPhones voice-to-text feature briefly shows "Trump" when a user says "Racist." Apples iPhone voice-to-text feature is sparking controversy after a viral TikTok video showed a user speaking the word "racist," which at first showed up as "Trump" before switching back to "racist."Fox News Digital was able to replicate the issue multiple times. The voice-to-text dictation feature was observed briefly flashing "Trump" when a user said "racist" before it quickly changed back to "racist" just like in the viral TikTok video.However, "Trump" did not appear every time a user said "racist."The voice-to-text feature also wrote words like "reinhold" and "you" when a user said "racist." Most of the time, the feature accurately wrote "racist." Apple's iPhone voice-to-text feature appears to write "Trump" occasionally when a user says "racist." (Fox News)An Apple spokesperson said Tuesday that the company is addressing the issue."We are aware of an issue with the speech recognition model that powers Dictation, and we are rolling out a fix as soon as possible," the spokesperson said.Apple says that the speech recognition models that power dictation may temporarily display words with some phonetic overlap, before landing on the correct word. The bug affects other words with an "r" consonant when dictated, Apple says.APPLE UNVEILS HISTORIC $500B INVESTMENT IN US MANUFACTURINGThis is not the first time technology has sparked controversy over what was perceived as a slight against President Donald Trump.A video went viral in September showing the Amazon Alexa virtual assistant explaining reasons for voting for then-Vice President Kamala Harris while refusing to provide similar responses for Trump.Representatives from the online shopping giant briefed staffers from the House Judiciary Committee about the incident and explained that Alexa uses pre-programmed manual overrides created by Amazons information team to respond to certain prompts from users, according to a source familiar with the briefing.For example, Alexa would tell users who asked for reasons to vote for Trump or then-President Joe Biden, "I cannot provide content that promotes this specific political party or candidate."Prior to the release of the viral video, Amazon had only programmed manual overrides for Biden and Trump, failing to add Harris because very few users were asking Alexa about reasons to vote for her, the source said. The Amazon Alexa virtual assistant previously explained reasons for voting for then-Vice President Kamala Harris while refusing to provide similar responses for then-former President Donald Trump. (Amazon)Amazon became aware of the issue with Alexa's pro-Harris responses within one hour of the video being posted on X and going viral. The company fixed the issue with a manual override for such questions about Harris within two hours of the video going up, according to the source.Before the fix was deployed, Fox News Digital prompted Alexa with questions asking for reasons to vote for Harris and received a response saying that "she is a female of color with a comprehensive plan to address racial injustice and inequality throughout the country."TRUMP, MUSK ENDORSE VIVEK RAMASWAMY FOR OHIO GOVERNORThe source said that Amazon apologized for Alexa's display of political bias at the briefing and said that while it has a policy that aims to prevent Alexa from "having a political opinion" or "bias for or against a particular party or particular candidate obviously we are here today because we did not meet that bar in this incident."The tech giant has since audited its system and has manual overrides in place for all candidates and a number of election-related prompts. Previously, Alexa only had manual overrides for presidential candidates.FOX Business Eric Revell, Hillary Vaugh, and Chase Williams contributed to this report.

(Photo by Maja Hitij/Getty Images)Getty ImagesOver the weekend, Germans took to the polls and chose Friedrich Merz as their new chancellor.The leadup to the election saw malicious attempts to sway the vote in favor of the far-right party AfD, including online disinformation campaigns. There was some use of AI to amplify messaging too. Though the party did gain significantly, theres no evidence these online influence operations had an impact, however. New findings indicate that despite much fear around the use of AI to spread disinformation, the general public may be harder to dupe than many expected.Disinformation monitoring company Graphika said it had tracked efforts by Russian groups across Telegram, BlueSky and X, which included videos with AI-generated voiceovers and impersonations of media outlets to put out articles with false or inflammatory claims. The aim of the campaign likely crafted in an attempt to stoke division and exacerbate existing societal tensions.Graphika said, however, that the effort gained minimal traction among authentic online audiences in Germany and struggled to break through into the wider conversation.There was plenty of bot activity on X, meanwhile, a platform owned and led by Elon Musk, whod previously voiced support for the AfD with a tweet saying, Only the AfD can save Germany.At least 1,000 fake accounts on X were created over the last year in an attempt to influence the election, many used to amplify support for the far-right party, according to Cyabra, an Israeli anti-disinformation company Cyabra.The full extent of digital influence on the results is still unclear, said Dan Brahmy, CEO of Cyabra. What is clear, however, is the surge in online conversations about AfDCyabras analysis shows a major spike in engagement across social media, with fake profiles playing a key role in amplifying the discourse. This isnt just a one-off event or unique to Germanys election. He warned that state governments would only further use online platforms in an attempt to influence world events.As per another analysis from the Atlantic Councils Digital Forensic Research Lab and AlgorithmWatch, the AfD has proven popular on X not because of significant bot activity, but by leader Alice Weidel and her online interactions with Musk. Though the increased engagement there came mostly from English-language accounts, not from German profiles.What the countrys election also shows, however, is that scale isnt everything. If AI and influence operations are going to make an impact, they will have to be convincing enough to make people believe theres nothing nefarious or fake about the content being mass-produced. Many will hope that day doesnt come.Got a tip on surveillance or cybercrime?

Facepalm: Another instance of an attorney using generative AI to file briefs containing non-existent cases has led to a judge recommending a $15,000 fine for his actions. That's more than three times what two lawyers and their law firm were fined in 2023 for doing the same thing. When representing HooserVac LLC in a lawsuit over its retirement fund in October 2024, Indiana attorney Rafael Ramirez included case citations in three separate briefs. The court could not locate these cases as they had been fabricated by ChatGPT.In December, US Magistrate Judge for the Southern District of Indiana Mark J. Dinsmore ordered Ramirez to appear in court and show cause as to why he shouldn't be sanctioned for the errors."Transposing numbers in a citation, getting the date wrong, or misspelling a party's name is an error," the judge wrote. "Citing to a case that simply does not exist is something else altogether. Mr Ramirez offers no hint of an explanation for how a case citation made up out of whole cloth ended up in his brief. The most obvious explanation is that Mr Ramirez used an AI-generative tool to aid in drafting his brief and failed to check the citations therein before filing it."Ramirez admitted that he used generative AI, but insisted he did not realize the cases weren't real as he was unaware that AI could generate fictitious cases and citations. He also confessed to not complying with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. This states that claims being made must be based on evidence that currently exists, or there is a strong likelihood that evidence will be found to support them through further investigation or discovery. The rule is supposed to encourage attorneys to perform due diligence before filing cases."I swear these are real cases, your honor. ChatGPT assured me they were"Ramirez says he has since taken legal education courses on the use of AI in law, and continues to use AI tools. But the judge said his "failure to comply with that most basic of requirements" makes his conduct "particularly sanctionable." Dinsmore added (via Bloomberg Law) that as Ramirez failed to provide competent representation and made several false statements to the court, he was being referred to the chief judge for any further disciplinary action. // Related StoriesDinsmore has recommended that Ramirez be sanctioned $5,000 for each of the three cases he filed containing the fabricated cases.This isn't the first case of a lawyer's reliance on AI proving misplaced. In June 2023, two lawyers and their law firm were fined $5,000 by a district judge in Manhattan for citing fake legal research generated by ChatGPT.In January, lawyers in Wyoming submitted nine cases to support an argument in a lawsuit against Walmart and Jetson Electric Bikes over a fire allegedly caused by a hoverboard. Eight of the cases had been hallucinated by ChatGPT.
