Being extremely careful about image/video attribution isn’t JUST important for giving credit to artists and creators. It’s also a way to slightly decrease your chances of spreading deceptive AI slop!
The thing that made me most suspicious was the lack of attribution of any kind. A conveniently perfect light-up sign at the beginning that states the premise of the video but doesn’t mention the facility, for instance. (This is part of why it’s bad to share stuff if you don’t know its provenance!)

It could take decades to recover from where we are.
My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

Lower courts may save this country from itself eventually.
It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

The whole Caribbean bombing campaign is illegal, immoral, and bad strategy.
But there's value in focusing on this particular war crime, and the illegal orders that led to it. Blowing up shipwrecked people is so obviously wrong, and people can more easily wrap their head around a single incident.

And there is only one person in this group who dares to even look embarrassed. Unfortunately I can't identify him, but he's looking up at the ceiling clearly looking like he wishes he were anywhere else. But no one says anything. He's surrounded by sycophants. Cowards.

Yeah, a House member needs to send up that impeachment flag. This is illegal, immoral, dangerous behavior — that is also likely unconstitutional as well.

Does the "someone" understand that that's what AI does: fabricate things? Most of the time it fabricates things from knowledge it finds, but if it doesn't find anything useful or if it finds conflicting information, it makes shit up. Literally.
Someone sent this to me as proof that *i* am wrong about my own self.
Anyway, all of this fabricated. Just untrue and not even close to the direction of truth.
