Instagram is dead.

In the next 3 - 5 years, every single image in social media will be generated by AI.

And here is the kicker: It will be impossible to tell fake from reality.

I wrote a few lines of Python code to show you how screwed we are:

La fuerza gravitacional de la luna dirige las mareas. La Luna tira de los océanos hacia ella y hace que la Tierra se abulte ligeramente: este abultamiento crea las mareas. Pero las mareas que tenemos se deben a que la Luna está donde está. 🌊 🌒

Gotta appreciate this subtle form of protest. Someone on a street in Shanghai has written out the “Core Values of Socialism” but made FREEDOM extra big. The Core Values are everywhere u look in China. Whoever did this is using Party ideology against itself
