I don't know either. When it comes from a respected source? But then there's the problem that the trustworthiness of sources is always subjective. And at one point people will consider everything fake news.

We are losing our shared reality, in a sense.

I'd say there is no point in trying anymore. We have to treat every image, video or audio recording like we already treat written or spoken things. Might be true, might be false. Fact or fiction. Focus on who made that, and why.
And only then decide if it may be true.

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

There's been a lot of evidence put out there recently that scientists and tech folks should have to take more humanities courses in their education.

So-called #genAI means the abolition of the future through the proliferation of endless streams of stochastically rendered generic pasts. Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed

have just come across a YouTube account that has been using Sora to upload reels of fake, AI-generated “90s sitcoms” every few hours

Out of the GC/MS I've worked with, I always liked the HP 5970 best. Dude had his limits, but he did what you asked of him without much fuzzing around.

A representative for GWAR told The Post, "Normalizing violence? Humans don't need GWAR for that. There is nothing normal about the Looney Toon violence acted out on a GWAR stage. GWAR is absurdist spectacle. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism. Ridiculous."

You really can be proud. I've randomly seen some videos of people trying to cook Viennese food in the last year, and none came closer.

getting into my local punk scene as a kid legit saved my life (like, i am not saying this metaphorically, i was in a Very Bad Place when i was a preteen) so i am extremely supportive of this. getting into creative hobbies and interests is the Way

One policy solution to Young Men we should be considering is Universal Basic Electric Guitar (UBEG). I'm not joking, by the way. Kids of any gender should get a low-cost starter kit for some hobby of their choosing once they turn 13. A camera, paints, a cheap sampler, etc.

Maybe the algorithm knows that Austrians love to hear an outsiders perspective about themselves, but only so they can complain about how inaccurate it is.

There's this conception of the renaissance as an age of beautiful art. But people have always, always loved tacky stuff too.

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.

MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing

There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

I don't even try to find out more about the book. By the time I get around to reading it I've forgotten the review. A nice clean start with no expectations.
