“Henk van Ess, for example, created extremely realistic deepfakes, including fake refugee camps along the US-Mexico border and a nuclear plant in Iran.”

I love how he instantly tried some of reasons the US government would want this thing to exist. Unfortunately I imagine the government would still be able to get access to it, so I expect to see news that Trump has posted loads of images of these same topics along with images of him wearing Space Marine armor and bringing the light of justice to brown people 'round the globe.

Prolly. I’m trying to be hyperbolic with hyperbole chambers.

"A daycare was burned to the ground by right-wing freedom fighters today for the crime of showing Ms. Rachel videos to indoctrinate the children into being commy libral psychos.

After getting reports that these videos were being shown, the brave men fighting for God’s justice surrounded the daycare and asked the kids if they liked Ms. Rachel. When to their horror every child answered in the affirmative and it became clear that the brainwashing had taken hold and the children were forever lost to Jesus’ love, our noble heroes chained the doors shut and lit the purifying blaze.

As the children had turned their backs on 'Merican Values and Christ, we’re certain they’re now twisting in agonizing torment in the bowels of hell, and will be for all of eternity."

My guess is it’s being used to gold plate the bars in the new East Wing Child Rape Dungeon.

Idk. Didn’t think about it much. That person up there ⬆️ said that the evil was done by people with names and bones. If we took their names away they might be confused on what to call each other for a while, but they’d figure it out. Stealing their bones seems like it would teach them a much more severe lesson.

Plus evil tech nerds shouldn’t get to have awesome spooky skeletons living inside of them like we do.

It’s all those damn bastards at CERN to blame for this mess. They just had to try sending a message back in time, and suddenly history changed. Nelson Mandela lived a long and respected life instead of dying in prison.

They didn’t expect it, but they felt like they had made the world better. Then the next message only caused the Monopoly Man to lose his monocle. The next time the Barenstiene Bears changed their name. Such random, stupid little changes.

So they went for the gold, and tried to stop the skirmish some folk called World War 1.5. But this time Hitler gave up on painting and blowing dudes in back alleys for nickels and instead of WW1.5 we got WW2.

Of course they had to keep trying to fix that and change things back. Now the US and Israel commit genocide, China beats the US in personal freedoms and the relatively low level of constant government espionage of it’s own citizens, Crime is legal in the US, we’re dropped the War on Drugs in exchange for the War on Science and Medicine, crime is officially legal for the wealthy, the bulk of the sitting US administration including the President and folks like the King of England’s own Brother raped loads of kids and almost definitely killed some of them and everyone in the world knows it but no one does a thing about it… and also Sinbad’s Shazaam movie never happened and Darth Vader no longer says “Luke, I am your father.”

Those last two aren’t quite on the same scale as some of the rest, but I liked that fucking Shazaam movie as a kid and it never even existed now.

We should take their bones away from them as punishment.

Yeah, if you need to remind yourself not to skin puppies it’s probably something you’ve considered more than once and you’re not a good person.

Getting that invite made email cool again. And they promised to not be evil, and started to develop loads of cool things and phones you could do anything with… then realized being evil is more profitable.

Should have seen it coming. Of course a company who’s main source of revenue is selling ads and positions in search results is going to end up fucking the entire Internet up for money.

I used to love Google. Now I wish for them to die.

Gen Z/Alpha kids who think everything has always been like the last decade. Shits so bizarro world upside down we have entire generations that think walking on your head is normal.

Don’t Be Evil

Don’t Do Good Things

Oh my God, you’re embarrassing. People discuss history and you freak the fuck out thinking your chosen political party is being insulted. Not sure if you’re genuinely a child or just someone who didn’t pay attention to anything in the world before the last 10 years.

You should take the time to actually read through the Epstein files for yourself. It’s not just Republicans named in there as abusers. It was first reported the FBI over 30 years ago. It’s not just a Republican administration that sat on it and didn’t do shit. It’s not just a Republican administration that was complicit.

Go do some reading for yourself. It will be good for you.

Was that supposed to be a coherent sentence?

Yeah… it is a bit weird that in the last few decades large groups of both sides of American politics have tried to get folk on board with raping kids. That seems like a thing maybe we should question more.

No, no. The group I support is made up of brilliant individuals with strong ethics and morals, but any group I disagree with is a hive mind in which all behaviors of any member of those groups can reasonably be attributed to all of it’s members.

It’s Salvia.

It’s a blind guess that’s weighted against people who are well read and don’t type like complete idiots. AI are trained on human language. They write like human writers. There’s no universal magic formula for “how AI would generate text.” AI detectors are nonsense. That is all they are. The only thing you’re doing by using them is feeding data in and accusing people of being witches if an AI tells you they are.

Aha! Now I’ve got you!

Please don’t waste your time using AI powered ‘AI detectors’. There’s no such thing. Some relatively rare AI generated images and videos contain a synthid or other tag to show that they were AI generated, but those can always be removed and it’s not something you can do with plain text.

There is absolutely zero benefit to using something like this, but it can cause harm to real people as these often falsely report that an author or student’s actual own words are AI generated.

I’d thought it literally meant little girl, but I just looked that up and I was definitely wrong on it. Must have been a Spanglish mangling on my part.

Gordita definitely still means fat little girl, though, and I’m going to keep thinking that’s a weird ass thing to call a food.
