I’m starting to think AI is just depicting what is happening to us metaphorically in a visual format
Londoners baffled by bizarre Christmas mural.
At first glance the suspected AI-generated mural seems to depict a crowd enjoying the festive season. But closer inspection reveals a disturbing array of figures including people with warped faces and dogs with the heads of birds

Hot take - even as a joke, I don't really like the idea of ppl blaming interns for taking down production
Even on the chance it happened to be true (and there are definitely cases where it wasn't an intern), if an intern was able to do that, that's a problem with the processes and systems in place

I didn't take nearly enough photos at #kawaiicon. I'm not a confident shooter, and it is important to me to respect people's needs, privacy, or other requirements.
But, here's a few random pics I took. Thanks Wellington!! glass.photo/xntrik/serie...

An ABC producer asked if I could do a live deepfake of Julia Zemiro for... reasons. After a weekend of learning how to train a deepfake model, I recorded a segment for a pilot that eventually became Crime Night! You can see my short segment 18 mins into this episode: iview.abc.net.au/show/crime-n...
