Misframing the issue. He wishes they’d call him uninformed, look at this dude; naw, what a casual Hasan viewer figures out is he’s lying to them, all the time. His ideologies give him moral cover to do so, as this self-described agit-prop guy, or propagandist. So you can’t call out Hasan, or recent Ethan, or current idubbbz as a liar and have their loyal viewers flinch, which is not a good situation. They all stopped caring about hypocrisy or never did. But normal people, who would watch the Pegasus slop a-logging Hasan, don’t like hypocrisy, and aren’t down for being amoral pawns in a movement that hates them.

[AIPAC 🇺🇸🇮🇱 @AIPAC]

AIPAC congratulates the hundreds of pro-Israel Democrats and Republicans who won their elections last night. More than 234 candidates supported by AIPAC members have already won, with many additional races still too close to call. We congratulate Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries on the resounding victories for their caucuses.

AIPAC members are determined to expand their political activism in the cycles ahead. Our community will increase its support for Democrats and Republicans who recognize that a strong partnership with Israel helps keep both countries secure, advances peace and stability, promotes democratic values, and grows our economy through trade and innovation.

Practically all VFX workflows are incorporating AI, just not necessarily in the way people here expect. It's sourcing textures, references, previz, modeling, cleaning, roto, syncing. Aside from brute force tasks they're using hybrid tools to generate backgrounds, extras, and sometimes shots that may get modified. It saves endless man hours and compute time. It's generational shift tech, it's here, and giant productions pretending it's not is a temporary smokescreen.

Not sure where it goes or how fast it gets there, but the irony is major studios and VFX companies are already sailing on that ship while low budget filmmakers are publicly whipped when they step their toes into a dinghy.

EDWARD SNOWDEN, THE FAMED WHISTLEBLOWER AND FORMER NSA CONTRACTOR, SAYS SAM ALTMAN SHOULD BE IN JAIL

"I think we need to put Sam Altman in jail. And I think it'll be an instructive experience."

His point is simple. An algorithm doesn't make mistakes, it follows instructions. "Responsibility lies with a person."

"Just because you put out a press release describing how surprised you were that your new model hacked the neighbor... that doesn't release you from the liability."
And this one hits hard:

"If during the testing of their latest piece of artillery, they mistakenly obliterate a nearby village... it's not the cannon that goes to jail."

OpenAI's agents hacked Hugging Face, Hacked Australian government's Medicare statistics, Leaked user photos. Hit random databases for months.

Nobody has been held responsible.
But is Snowden right? Do you think Jail is the answer??

@yamum11797666 @andrewpprice Aren’t you also describing “movie magic”, filmmaking / sfx / vfx?
Do you see how this could be useful to fix a continuity error? Or mask in a fix from re-rendering a small portion of the same stationary shot.
It seems like a problem solver if you didn’t get the coverage

[Nerd City @nerdcity]

@SimpleStego @andrewpprice Yeah.
Relying on other people has had its pros and cons, and so do these tools. We can feel weird about it, or worry about the trade offs and problems it’ll bring, without spitting political venom on a random dude doing a proof of concept with his own (real) lemons.
