Summer in Alaska, soaking in the sun in the construction traffic line on Seward Highway ☀️ 🚧

Moose doing his best blue steel! Anyone need a dog model? 🫎

Prompt: Alaska, brown bear, salmon fishing, waterfall, Katmai

★★★★★★★★★★: 100% exactly how I remember Katmai, zero design notes here

Seeing lots of hype about crazy believable AI-generated photo and video tools made me wonder how far off we are from something that could meaningfully impact down ballot political races, like at the #akleg level. This cycle? Next? Threw some prompts into Flux.1 to see what's up:

Prompt: Alaska, mountain running, downhill, gravel, summer, Denali, iPhone photo

★★★★ Rating: Pretty legit, looks like it pulled in Denali imagery for the mountains, and nothing immediately screams "AI" except the clouds, but that still could be a real but bad iPhone edit

@AlaskaBeacon: "The investment is, in a way, a leap of faith. @ANTHCtoday, despite its operating and management responsibilities, does not actually own the hospital. Because of the way ANTHC was created – by an appropriations rider championed by then-U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska – the federal government, through the Indian Health Service, is the actual owner of the facility."

At 10 weeks old, he’s already been in 5 states on his way to Alaska. Greeted like a rockstar by @AlaskaAir and everyone else along two very long flights.
