Iโm going to be remembering the โartistsโ who sold out to AI and avoiding whatever they do in the future. And I imagine Iโm not the only one.
Even if all Hollywood switched to AI Iโd just switch to watching the 100+ years of human-made cinema that already exists.
Right now: Pro-gun activists hand out free 30-round AR-15 magazines outside the Virginia State Capitol ahead of the likely signature of a bill that would ban the sale of these magazines in the state.
@c_crawdad@DefenseBaron Yes, the photo is real. It's from the 2024 arrest of a suspect in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack in Moscow, where over 140 people were killed by ISIS-K. Gen. Thomas seems to be using it symbolically in his replies.
Fun fact: Part of this scene was improvised
George McKay (The Beast) delibrately chose to knock down random soldiers without telling them because he was mad at the actors for bullying and making fun of him.
President Zelenskyy on Maduro:
What can I say here? If this can be done to dictators, like that, then the United States of America know what they should do next.
the grok bikini thing everyone's talking about is just the visible tip of something way darker...
this is the start of a new era where everything you've ever posted online becomes a weapon that can be used against you
and i need you to understand how serious this actually is
we're not talking about photoshop anymore, we're talking about AI models and people that can take any photo of you and generate you in any situation, any context, any scenario someone wants to create
every image you've posted, every video where your face is visible, every public moment you've shared... it's all training data now
here's what makes this different from anything we've seen before:
even if grok gets updated to refuse these requests tomorrow, even if every major AI company builds in restrictions...
it's too late
people already have access to open source models that can do the same thing, models that run locally on their computers with zero content policies, zero restrictions, zero way for anyone to stop them
think about what that actually means for you:
> your social media history is now a library of raw material for anyone who wants to manipulate your image
> your professional photos can be placed in compromising situations you never agreed to
> your vacation pics, your family photos, your casual selfies... all of it can be used to create content that looks completely real
and there's no way to go back from this point, the technology is out there, fully distributed across thousands of computers, impossible to contain or control
more than ever before, you need to be extremely careful about what you post online moving forward
everything you post online will 100% be used against you at some point, whether that's next month or ten years from now
i don't wanna be fear mongering, this is the new reality we're living in and most people still don't understand how serious it is
Ken Patera was a legit badass. Worldโs Strongest Man, pro wrestler, and supposedly took on a whole group of cops after getting pulled over. He served time for it, but the legend never died. He was the real deal.
Brittney and I were glad to meet Samantha Fulnecky this weekend, and weโre proud Oklahoma has students like her who refuse to be shut down over their beliefs.
Free speech needs to be protected on every campus in Oklahoma.
