Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

lawngnomesorceress @lawngnomesorceress.bsky.social · 5h

it was way more useful an indicator then shit like,"follows jd vance" and whatnot, because following singal is some serious inside baseball. you're only doing that if you know his whole deal.

good lord, how complicated are the valves in your shower???

lawngnomesorceress @lawngnomesorceress.bsky.social · 5h

the amount of breathless yarn pinning that goes on around here is the worst. I am gonna miss seeing that "following jesse singal" label as a grim stinger on the most braindead posts, tho. almost as funny as seeing a surprise "open zoophile" label, imho.

i would not be surprised if the only thing sora can do with anything approaching fidelity is copyrighted characters and public figures, ie stuff with loads of available material for training data

Policing people for following mildly problematic accounts or people you're beefing with: annoying and bad

Policing people for following well known public figures with abhorrent beliefs: justified 95% of the time, as evidenced by every post by someone with a "follows Jesse Singal" label.

Some of you are blaming @jay.bsky.team or @bsky.app in general, or claiming that this is being forced by @moderation.bsky.app. That could not be further from the truth. I'm shutting it down of my own volition because some of you can't be trusted to use this information reasonably and responsibly.

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.
Artist seems to be "Akira BPD"

before you even hit “would i want to hear this post read aloud in a court room” you should be able to answer “could i say this out loud to myself”

🎃trash🎃 @dollarpbr.gay · 14h

should be hard coded that as soon as you hit post on a sentence like this your front facing camera launches and can’t be closed until you read it out loud to yourself

forever fascinated by people who think posters with 1k+ followers have a duty to use their 'platform' for social justice only. like, that's actual baby brain type shit. why do you think they're that important. we're on the alf cock website, nobody's seeing this shit anyways
