Laws need to be passed that all AI generated content must be prominently labeled as such and failure to do so will result in fines and/or jail time. Technology cannot be allowed to continue to outpace legislation to protect people from its misuse.

For @spitfirenews.com, I found that increasingly realistic AI-generated videos are being deployed to harass, smear, and create endless offensive content of influencers, whose likenesses are already readily available online. It’s happening to private figures, too.

AI-generated influencer scandals are here

Now anyone can play with the hyperrealistic likenesses of public figures.

He commits crimes, eats hamburders, wears a stupid hat and an overly long red tie and speaks unintelligible gibberish. I think we know his name.

There were at least 3 Waldos.

It's probably Mark Cuban.

This was always the way to win the last election. Make them look silly and pathetic because that's what they are. Ruin the strongman image that they try to project. Whatever consultant told them to stop with the "weird" attack ruined everything.

The regime has NO idea what to do with this shit. It’s great.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Do not ask ChatGPT anything. AI is trash. Hire an artist who will draw your Bugs Bunny erotica.

Gonna be a lot of people asking ChatGPT about Bugs Bunny in a dress.

Teleportation, blue skin, prehensile tail, three fingers/toes, wall crawling, disappearing into shadows, glowing eyes, night vision. He has a lot going on. Were I writing X-Men from scratch, I'd still include him, but make it clear from the beginning that he's something more than an average mutant.

Nightcrawler (though he's one of my favorite characters) broke the whole mutant concept by having too many mutant powers/features.

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 2d

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Great shot of the left field umpire. He may have been the only person who understood what was happening and he signaled it immediately. #Dodgers #Brewers #NLCS

That play in the #Dodgers #Brewers #NLCS game may be the most insane play I've ever seen. No catch and an 8-2-2 double play? Absolutely wild.
