Google shipped a small image tool this week called Nano Banana 2 Lite that turns a text description into a picture in about four seconds, for roughly three cents. A companion model turns those images into short video, edited in plain English. Making a decent image or a quick clip is now something a small-business owner or a teacher can do on a coffee break.

One detail from the Harlem deed-theft conviction this week is worth knowing, because it's how these frauds actually work. To take the second brownstone, the thief approached a tenant and pretended to offer him a job, just to get his signature. Then he copied that signature onto a forged deed and moved the building into a company he controlled.

@FORMERLYaeduko @fanofprincephil In my experience, it is rare to collect restitution. Fraudsters tend to spend the money as fast as it comes in.

@DavidFleckEsq @fanofprincephil And I hope reimbursing the people he stole them from

A jury in New York just convicted a man of stealing two Harlem brownstones with forged deeds, about $4.7 million worth of real estate. One of his victims, an elderly homeowner, spent years in a homeless shelter while he rented the building out as market-rate apartments. He's facing up to 25 years.

Google's study notebooks are rolling out in the Gemini app. A student simply uploads their class materials, takes a short diagnostic, and gets a plan of small interactive lessons that adjust as they go. Google is also adding free full-length GRE and ACT practice tests. Test prep that used to cost real money is now built into a tool a lot of students already carry in their pocket.

@ArielleCurtin That's what most people's first reaction is - the deed registry (or county clerk or county recorder) should do a better job. But that's not their job. Their job is to keep official copies of documents, and they are not equipped or authorized to authenticate documents.

This is some very bad sh*t. NY Deed Registry must do better.

@BowTiedKnoll That used to be the penalty for cattle rustling, right?

@RyanD1020 It's a challenge to get some judges (not all) to take white collar crime seriously when they deal with crimes of violence on a daily basis.
