Anyway as part of modern media literacy it's worth learning what the visual artifacts of an AI generated image, a negative-doctored/photoshopped image, a 3D rendering are, what a video timestretch/compress/reverse loop looks and sounds like. Deepfakes exist but so do shallow fakes

Photoshop not AI but yes very fun this account has been doing this kind of fake cryptid thread since before genAI was a thing

This seems like a set up for "second verse, same as the 1st, little bit faster, little bit worse" with all the "can't I ride in cargo" jacked up to 11 as they literally think Murderbot is a human. Therefore I'm betting that's only the general ballpark 3/

I appreciate the book flat out telling us it has anxiety, too many would get stuck for pages responding to an imagined reader asking what someone with guns in its arms would be anxious for. 1) anxiety doesn't work that way 2) read the book it has plenty 2/
