Remember how all the people with cooler heads said comparing them with nazis was being hysterical
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

I hope people are able to see the violent patterns: they collect intelligence on their targets (anyone not White, cis, straight and conservative) through orgs like TPUSA, they paint targets on the backs of academics, and then cowardly administrators, right-wing politicians and media do the rest.
Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

AI imagery is the equivalent of Plato’s prisoner being bored of sunlight, clambering down into a cave, shackling himself to a rock to watch shadows cast by firelight and forgetting that the world above exists.
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

One reason Disney is OK with allowing OpenAI to torpedo their brands after decades of cracking down on childrens hospitals for painting comforting characters on the walls or a dad who wanted his son's favorite character Spider-Man etched onto his grave is that grieving families don't have $1 billion
