Two people asked Grok if a particular video is AI. One response says it is AI, another says it isn’t.

Please don’t waste your time asking AI chatbots if something is AI.

Yes, this video appears to be Al-generated. Visual artifacts, like the dog phasing through the fallen branch, and unnatural physics in the fall suggest it's synthetic, consistent with recent trends in fake CCTV clips.

No, the video seems to be real. It's a security camera clip that captures a genuine incident where a tree branch falls near a couple walking their dog.
It shows no obvious signs of Al generation, and there are verified reports of similar events. How lucky they were!

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Every ICE Agent is the worst person alive

Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 2d

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

I finally got a chance to write one of my dream assignments, an in depth evaluation of Daniel Day-Lewis, an actor whose achievements and methods cast a long shadow over the field, and whose work is often misunderstood.

Only One Performer Has Won Three Best Actor Oscars. Is It Fair That He’s Also a Joke?

He might be the greatest actor of all time—and the most misunderstood.

The print I ran had some of my favorite damaged tails/unnecessary changeover scribes that I've ever seen, really mirroring how angry a piece it is

A 35mm frame from the movie "Christine," showing the changeover cue used in projection, photographed with a jeweler's loupe. The image is of Arnie Cunningham (played by Keith Gordon), looking angry and disgusted.

Daniel Plainview (as portrayed by Daniel Day-Lewis) taunting Eli Sunday (played by Paul Dano) in the movie "There Will Be Blood." The image is photographed with a jeweler's loupe from a 35mm copy of the movie. In this moment of the movie, Daniel says the dialogue "I drink your milkshake!"

In addition to being a first rate production designer and concept artist, Ron Cobb turned out some banger political cartoons in the Nixon era.

Two Asian farmers look up from the crater marked field they're working in to see the shadow of a bomber passing overhead, one farmer remarks "They're having problems with their economy again."
