SOMEONE VIBE CODED A VIDEO STREAM THAT IS SECRETLY 100% TEXT SO IT CANT BE BLOCKED

it plays 360p video at 30fps, but theres no actual video on the page. every frame is just colored text characters being repainted on a canvas

to the browser its not media at all, its javascript updating some text

its called asciline, and here's the trick:

> the server decodes the real video and streams it as binary packed text over websockets
> the browser paints thousands of colored block characters fast enough to look like 360p
> ad blockers and autoplay blockers cant catch it because theres no video element to catch
> it streams in kilobytes since its just strings, so it runs on trash internet

since the video is literally text, you can apply css glows to it, let people copy paste a moving frame, or feed it straight to a local llm

however, an unblockable stream is also an unblockable ad as well

A new experiment with Seedance 2.0 on @mitte_ai : FACS.

For this videos, I only used FACS codes in the prompt. I didn’t describe the facial expressions in plain language at all.

FACS (Facial Action Coding System) is a system for describing facial expressions using individual muscle movements called Action Units (AUs), instead of general emotion labels like “happy” or “sad.” It breaks the face into controllable components such as brow movement, eyelid tension, lip movement and cheek activation.

Even though it didn’t follow all 14 Action Units perfectly, it still interpreted most of them surprisingly well.

I think this could become especially useful for subtle facial acting, forced smiles, uncanny expressions, mixed emotions and micro-performance details during close-up dialogue shots.

You can check the prompt for first 15s, a list of FACS codes generated with GPT Image 2 in the replies.

Behind that ranger sits part of 105 tonnes of ivory worth roughly $150 million on the black market. Days after this photo, Kenya soaked the lot in jet fuel and burned it. Critics warned it would backfire. A decade on, ivory prices have crashed and poaching is at a 20-year low.

The piles held the tusks of around 7,000 elephants and the horns of 343 rhinos. It was the biggest ivory burn in history. The full stockpile was about 5 percent of all the ivory sitting in African government storerooms at the time. Kenya's entire annual environment budget was smaller than what they were about to set on fire.

The argument against burning was simple. Cut the supply, push up the price, poachers come back harder. One conservation economist compared the move to Iraq going offline during the Iran-Iraq war, when oil prices spiked. Burn $150 million of ivory and the same shock should hit.

None of that happened. Raw ivory in China peaked at around $2,100 per kilogram in 2014. Then Kenya burned its stockpile in April 2016, China shut its legal ivory market in December 2017, and similar bans rolled through the US, Europe, and elsewhere. The price broke. By 2020, the going price across Africa had fallen to about $92 per kilogram. In Kenya specifically, what a poacher could get for a kilo of raw tusk dropped from $190 in 2014 to $52 by 2018. Inside China, the share of people saying they would ever buy ivory fell from 43 percent before the ban to 18 percent by 2020.

The bet was based on an old number. A 2014 Sheldrick Wildlife Trust study found that one live elephant brings in around $23,000 a year in tourism revenue. Across a 70-year lifespan, that is roughly $1.6 million. Its tusks, ripped out, sell for around $21,000. That is the 76-to-1 ratio that gets thrown around in conservation circles. Kenya runs around 10 percent of its economy on tourism today, almost all of it built around live wildlife.

The numbers since have backed the call. The UN's 2024 wildlife crime report says the global ivory market is shrinking, with seizures and poaching both down. A 2024 Colorado State study found African elephant numbers fell 77 percent on average between 1964 and 2016. After 2016, things turned. Forest elephant decline slowed from 7 percent a year to under 1. Savanna elephant poaching is at its lowest level since global tracking started in 2003.

The ranger in this photo is guarding ivory Kenya was about to destroy on purpose. Within four years, the market for what he was guarding had collapsed.

Before it took off, the bird ate parts of its own liver, kidneys, and gut. That was the only way to be light enough to fly. Then it flew 8,425 miles from Alaska to Australia, in 11 days, without eating, drinking, or landing once.

The bird is called B6. It's a bar-tailed godwit, four months old, weighing about as much as a can of beans. In October 2022, scientists at the US Geological Survey tracked its flight from Alaska all the way to Tasmania. The trip took 11 days and 1 hour. It is still the longest non-stop flight of any animal on Earth.

For two weeks before takeoff, godwits eat until they almost double in weight. Fat ends up being 55% of their body, more than any bird ever measured. Then they shrink their own insides. About a quarter of their liver, kidneys, stomach, and intestines gets broken down and reused for fuel, making room for the extra fat and cutting weight. Their heart and wing muscles grow bigger at the same time.

They never drink along the way. The water they need comes out of burning fat, the same reaction their muscles use for energy. They also never really sleep. B6 flapped its wings for 264 straight hours, cruising around 35 miles per hour with help from storm tailwinds. By the time it landed, it had lost almost half its body weight. The shrunken organs grew back over the following weeks.

Scientists still cannot explain the navigation. B6 had never made this flight before. Adult godwits leave Alaska weeks earlier, so young birds fly alone with nobody to follow. How a four-month-old bird finds its way across 8,425 miles of open ocean to a place it has never seen is still an open question.

About 100,000 bar-tailed godwits leave Alaska every fall. Most of them land in New Zealand or Australia 10 or 11 days later, having eaten parts of themselves to get there.

Chers théoriciens du complot… vous aviez encore raison.

🚨 La CIA vient de republier des documents déclassifiés relatifs au « Projet Artichaut » — un programme gouvernemental secret conçu pour manipuler l'esprit des Américains par l'administration secrète de drogues via des vaccins.

Projet Artichoke (1951-1956), un programme secret du début de la guerre froide axé sur le contrôle mental, la modification du comportement et les techniques d'interrogatoire avancées.

Parmi les principales révélations contenues dans ces documents figurent les plans de la CIA visant à créer et à déployer des produits chimiques/drogues pouvant être introduits subrepticement dans des produits de consommation courante — nourriture, eau, Coca-Cola, bière, alcool, cigarettes, voire traitements médicaux comme les vaccins et les injections — afin de modifier le comportement des gens à leur insu.

Les chercheurs ont exploré deux grandes catégories de composés à long terme :
- Effets agitateurs (provoquant anxiété, nervosité, tension).
- Effets dépressifs (induisant le désespoir, le découragement, la léthargie).

Le programme examinait également l'hypnose, les techniques psychologiques, les gaz/aérosols, la privation d'oxygène et d'autres méthodes pour contraindre les gens à agir contre leur volonté (y compris des actes criminels) tout en restant inconscients.

Des tests sur des sujets humains vulnérables, tels que les prisonniers, les soldats et les patients psychiatriques, ont été envisagés sans leur consentement.

Le projet Artichoke est le prédécesseur direct du programme MKUltra, plus tristement célèbre (qui a débuté en 1953 et a étendu les travaux avec le LSD et des centaines de sous-projets).
