A free tool that allows anyone to upload a photo of an LAPD officer to get their name and badge number.
A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.
AI facial recognition is kinda shit, because the training data is usually extremely uh, white. They're accidentally tuned to detect white faces more accurately than others.
But in THIS use case, maybe that's not a problem? Hmmmmm...

Plushify is so cool you can just make a 3D model and turn it into a sewing pattern easy
This little guy will become real
But seriously, you can both make custom seams and scale the dimensions of the plush on the site. The size option even shows you a human for scale. It's so good I feel like I'm gonna be using this a lot and once I can donate to it I will.
You don't even have to be that good at making models btw, you just have to make a low-poly little guy and follow the prep instructions on the site.
Gridllr.com is updated today with a small improvement. The Download button on image posts will now download the image immediately (one-click downloading).
It will always download the largest size available from Tumblr, usually that’s _1280.jpg.
Note that often the poster’s original image is less than 1280px, so the file you download might be less than 1280px wide. There’s nothing we can do about that. But you can try the built-in search function, which uses TinEye - TinEye can maybe find a higher resolution version of the same image somewhere else on the web. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t, there’s a bit of luck involved!
If there’s any feature in Gridllr you’d like to see, you can mention it in comments.

Okay, so this is what AI is useful for! The tool was originally to help with formatting, but they've added optional AI to it as well.
Human does the creative bit - AI gives it a little extra zing.
To be clear, the tool is not writing the description from scratch or from the contents of your book, you give it your previously created book description and it organises it to give it some extra oomph.
Example
My original blurb for a recent short story:
Joshua, a British climber on the exciting international climbing circuit, can heal those he cares about. No one outside his family knows, but when his best friend, Ethan, nearly dies in a soloing accident, Joshua has to act. He’s been secretly in love with his friend for years, he can’t let him die, but is his gift strong enough, will his secret get out, and what will Ethan think when he learns the truth?
Find out in this LGBTQ+ climbing romance.
The blurb this new tool came up with:
Danger and desire collide in this LGBTQ+ climbing romance! When Joshua, a British climber on the international climbing circuit, discovers his best friend, Ethan, has been in a soloing accident, he must act quickly. Not only is Joshua in love with Ethan, but he also has a secret gift that could save his friend's life. In a race against the clock, Joshua must decide how much of his secret he can reveal without risking everything he holds dear. Can he heal Ethan in time, and if so, what will Ethan think when he learns the truth? Find out in this thrilling and romantic story of love and adventure.

Let's face it, it's simply more exciting.
I don't care what anyone says, writing descriptions/blurbs for books is a skill of its own. I always struggle to write really good descriptions even though I've been doing this for over 10 years. I'm a lot better than I was (oh god, you should see some of my original ones), but it's still so hard!
Big publishing houses have people whose specific role is to do this because they just get it (at least that was the impression I got at a seminar I went to once - HarperCollins were trying to explain how they do book blurbs and they had one guy everyone looked to because it's a dark art).
I do my best to follow the formulae on all the 'How to..' sites, and I get the info in there, but it lacks a bit of marketing magic. This free tool gives it the extra zing.
Actually the Kindlepreneur site has lots of lovely tools for self-pub authors, some free, some not free. I used their Publisher Rocket for figuring out good keywords all the time and their category search is so useful too. So many great tutorials as well.
[EDIT: And yes, the AI does sometimes get it wrong - that's why humans will always be better than AI 😉]
