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.

Vtubing already shares so much DNA with pro wrestling (character gimmicks, kayfabe, alter egos, improv, evil IRL corporate overlords, etc)

When will they fully COMMIT

Vtuber heel factions. Scripted rivalries. Stunt choreography. Steel chairs.

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."

It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

Carl from Internet of Bugs did a video on this (he actually uploaded a version that ONLY covered the SciShow video, but expanded to other YouTubers so people wouldn't think it was a problem unique to them:

Watching this video Hank Green did about AI pissed me off so much I had to go for a walk, multiple straight up falsehoods on top of pumping out effective altruist AI doomerist bullshit about models being "out of control". Unbelievable

🧵 UTILIDADE PÚBLICA: Linux é pro meu caso? 🧵

Se você DEPENDE do Windows por qualquer motivo (jogo ou programa que só roda nele, ou VOCÊ não quer desapegar): não.

Pronto. A resposta já tá aí. Sem firula.

Ask yourself if kids prefer toys, or stores. Games from a generation ago were allowed to be toys. Games today are forced to be stores.

Cheap, minimally online if at all, doesn't spy on you, doesn't have subscriptions or micro transactions, won't be enshittified, you own it, reminds them of simpler times or childhood, modern pop culture is adversarial and alienating

Se alguém não entendeu o que a entrevistadora de tarô quis dizer nessa manchete, que está mal escrita pra porra, deixa eu explicar:

Advogados pagavam festas com garotas de programas para juízes e guardavam vídeos pra poder chantageá-los.

Dan Wineman @dwineman@xoxo.zone You’re absolutely right — you are Pagliacci. It would certainly be difficult for you to attend your own performance! I should not have given such paradoxical advice, and I apologize deeply for the error. There is no excuse for my failure. Nevertheless, comedy is a powerful healing force. My recommendation is to seek out live entertainment. For example, great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up. 🔗 Sponsored Reply (Great Clown Productions, Ltd.)

a gente sempre fala que um dos perigos da tradução por IA é a imposição da ideologia dominante e do discurso de senso comum nas escolhas tradutórias, né

hoje eu trouxe um exemplo. o texto em inglês dizia que Israel quer erradicar "the militancy". a IA sugeriu traduzir como "o extremismo".
print de uma sugestão da IA em um software de tradução na coluna da esquerda, está escrito: "Israel says it is trying to root out militancy". na da direita: "Israel afirma que está tentando erradicar o extremismo".
