Jared Leto may have a toxic reputation, he may have a wildly unappealing screen presence, but say what you will, he also can't open a movie either.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

A 15-year-old autistic, intellectually disabled, and often non-verbal boy in Houston has been held in ICE custody for the past week without his family knowing where he was.

I confirmed this video is real with local news reports:

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Houston, Texas

Kid Rock has a habit of calling liberal women ugly but rarely addresses the facts that he appears to be the malnourished ghost of a skeleton's bug-eyed penis.
A shirtless, decrepit Kid Rock with a hat on and a wrist brace drinking a Busch Light beer with no shirt on and staring slightly off center the way only a hapless, addle-brained miscreant can Another image of shirtless Kid Rock with his wrist brace and Busch light. He looks like someone put him on a bus but he doesn't know where it's going

The way you know a movie is bad is if Jared Leto is in it

There are a number of accounts on Tiktok and IG that do extremely important work walking viewers through AI-generated slop videos like this and help them think critically about what they are seeing, how to spot it, etc. It’s a new era of critical media literacy instruction and I am happy to see it

That TikTok account has a few fake videos of reporters getting detained. They make these videos because it’s a big story in the news. Real reporters are getting arrested. And so people are making AI videos to get engagement on TikTok.

Whenever I come back to New York I recognize and romanticize a new thing I didn’t realize I missed. Today it’s seeing people walking, while eating, while angry.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

i don't really post video but if you see me miss something like this on a repost or something just ping me and ill take it down, i am trying to both a) learn the signs to spot them and b) not post things that just raise everyone's blood pressure without a call to action, but i don't always manage

If I see you posting AI slop, it's an instant block. Even if you think it's cute or says a lot about society. If you are purporting that some AI slop is real news, I will report you for misinformation, and then block you. Sloppers should be marginalised.

in my humble opinion it is journalistic malpractice for a verified account to be sharing garbage AI-generated news videos because they're too stupid and lazy to verify their sources

Cardiac age is not a thing. You know what (sort of) ages your cardiac status (in cases which are not Trump)?

high doses of antipsychotics

we monitor that EKG CLOSELY at heroic doses, tracking over years, make sure benefits > risks

“Cardiac age” is not a thing! Made up lie! Fictional fraud! Again!

Here's a rule of thumb: If "AI" seems like a good solution, you are probably both misjudging what the "AI" can do and misframing the problem.

Comment by Tom Diettrich on a linkedin post reading:

"You can't "test-in quality" in engineering; you can't "review-in quality" in research. We need incentives for people to do better research. Our system today assumes that 75% of submitted papers are low quality, and it is probably right (I'll bet it is higher). If this were a manufacturing organization, an 75% defect rate would result in bankruptcy. 

Imagine a world in which you could have an AI system check the correctness/quality of your paper. If your paper passed that bar, then it could be published (say, on arXiv). Subsequent human review could assess its importance to the field. 

In such a system, authors would be incentivized to satisfy the AI system. This will lead to searching for exploits in the AI system. A possible solution is to select the AI evaluator at random from a large pool and limit the number of permitted submissions. I imagine our colleagues in mechanism design can improve on this idea."

As I said a couple hours ago about a different fake video, you don't need to feel stupid if you fell for it.

The entire internet is drowning in this AI shit. And there's no easy solution. We're just fucking cooked as a society.
paleofuture.bsky.social
Don’t feel stupid if you fell for fake video. It can be really hard to tell these days. But we do have to try and be careful with what we share because there’s so much AI video out there.

It’s just the world we live in now.

It’s weird how 2 more seconds makes it so much more obvious 😭
paleofuture.bsky.social
It's a little more obvious that this video is fake in the longer 10-second version that's been going viral on Twitter. (Which I've posted below)

The 8-second video posted above cuts before the AI anchor just resumes into a news story in a very unnatural way.
