The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, and JaxReady are partnering up to create a new program to help alert first responders about people with special needs.

The First Responder Awareness Sticker Program “is designed to alert first responders that someone at their residence and/or inside a vehicle may have autism, Alzheimer’s, dementia, or another developmental disability.”

Anyone in need of a sticker should contact the Missing Persons Unit at 904-255-2712 or JaxReady at 904-255-3172.

Meta's AI tools for advertisers can now create full new images, not just new backgrounds
Meta is rolling out an expanded set of generative AI tools for advertisers, after first announcing a set of AI features last October. Now, instead of only being able to create different backgrounds for a product image, advertisers can also request full image variations, which offer AI-inspired ideas for the overall photo, including riffs that update the photo's subject or product being advertised. In one example, Meta shows how an existing ad creative showing a cup of coffee sitting outdoors next to coffee beans could be modified to present the cup, from a different angle, in front of lush greenery and coffee beans, evoking imagery reminiscent of a coffee farm.
