this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised.

Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org

Authors say Amazon's knockoff book problem is leaving them frustrated — and making the internet worse in the process.

Konflikte, Machtunterschiede, Gewalt u. Privilegien sind real. Wir müssen sie durcharbeiten, benennen. Gleichzeitig ist es entgegen der reaktionären Spaltungserzählung notwendig, eine Vorstellung von geeinsamem Menschsein aufrecht zu erhalten: direkt-magazin.ch/meinung/glst...

Unsolicited writing advice, no.63: Your writing doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful. If you can’t say it simply, then it’s probably not worth saying at all.

What a great housing crisis demo yesterday in Zurich! Living in a time when many forces seem much bigger than us, it truly feels less lonely knowing there is such a great diverse community made of organizations, collectives, groups, and individuals! #Wohndemo
