L.A. Pizzeria Falls Victim to Apparent AI Photo Scam

A popular Los Angeles pizzeria is pushing back against what appears to be an artificial intelligence photo scam. Masa of Echo Park recently received a complaint from a customer who submitted a photo of what appeared to be a severely burned pizza and demanded a refund. Restaurant owner Rhonda Reynolds became suspicious and uploaded the image to an app designed to detect possible AI alterations. The app determined there was a 96 percent likelihood the photo had been manipulated. Reynolds also reviewed surveillance footage showing the pizza being prepared and said it did not appear burned. The restaurant initially issued a refund but has since reversed the decision. The incident highlights growing concerns among businesses about customers potentially using AI-generated or altered images to support fraudulent complaints and obtain refunds. Restaurant owners are increasingly facing new challenges as artificial intelligence makes manipulated photos more difficult to identify.

Arellano: Raman's victory was a resounding rebuke to L.A.'s Latino political establishment

When Angelenos chose Nithya Raman as their next mayor, Karen Bass wasn't the only establishment pillar that was resoundingly rebuked. Here in the country's Latino capital, the metropolis that delivered California its first Latino U.S. senator and pioneered the type of winning political machine that Latinos across the country replicated for decades, almost all the city's Latino power brokers — politicians, nonprofit leaders, union activists, celebrities — bet big on longtime ally Bass, only to now find themselves on the outside looking in.

And 2026 is the road’s centennial year, a hundred years since U.S. Route 66 was designated on November 11, 1926.

LMU community organizes walkout in protest of Nolan Wells’ death

On Wednesday, Nov. 4, students and faculty joined together in a walkout to protest Nolan Wells’ death and promote awareness of the lack of prosecution in the case. Wells died on July 4, where his body was found off a Mississippi shore two days later. In late September, a Mississippi grand jury declined to bring any charges related to his death, but activists have questioned whether Wells was involved in a foul play incident that was not accidental. The grand jury's refusal to indict anyone in the case has sparked outrage in the Black community, with Black students at LMU and elsewhere suggesting that there was a miscarriage of justice in the case.
