Jurors HATE this one weird trick!

I got mine for $300 because I’m also on a Fi plan. But I’m sure most phones can be subsidized similarly.

We haven’t created real life catgirls yet

You clearly don’t know people

“Laying on grass” is complex?

OP must not be American

Honestly, all the respectable advertisers left anyway so they have nothing to lose

Content never dies, its just recycled lower and lower tears.

Hey what can I say we were overdue
It’ll be over soon, just wait

Someone needs to get NASA on the case to remote inject some new code

Hard disagree. It got me walking around and exploring my town. It got me in contact with other Pokemon fans. It’s added an extra layer of reality on top of everywhere I go - vacations become rare opportunities for indiginous species hunting, which in turn become valuable trade offers.

Exercise is now a game, and I would otherwise be in front of a PC screen.

It’s basically been in process for decades. Pipes in the ground can last 50 years, so replacement of ones put in the ground in the early 80s are due to be replaced now. Each state has a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program that gets funding from the EPA to replace waterlines. Until recently, the money has been focused on the oldest or most needed projects (some of which are lead), but this recent push has aimed to target specifically all lead lines in the ground.

AFAIK this is an additional $3B. The BIL has already been funding projects for 2 years, and every state is already in the process of identifying all of their lead service lines. Each waterworks is required to at least have an inventory by October.

And that’s in addition to multiple other infrastructure projects from this administration, including ARPA.

Prediction? Bro, we’re chronicling

As a not-so-young-anymore young person, I’ve always said “no problem” for exactly this reason

In most cases, the answer should really be “It’s none of my business”, but yes, it’d involve asking the person whether they’re authentic if you needed to verify for some reason.

But yes it really is wishful thinking, because it’s honestly about to be a shitshow. People are going to start getting credibly framed for things like child porn.

The ubiquity of AI fakes will necessitate a cultural shift. Honestly, the world is going to be a nightmare of misinformation soon and nudes may very well be the least of our worries.

What other options do we have? An ironclad verification system for any fabricated content? Wildly harsh penalties for all caught creating it? The ship has sailed - we won’t be able to prevent it from happening.

I’d argue that overexposure will make people quickly become accustomed/nonplussed at information we don’t believe to be true and verify with the source. Look at how we treat other fabricated content - if I showed you a screencap of the Pope saying “Fuck” you’d want to verify with a source directly.

I think the only thing we can do is to help out by calling this out. AI fakes are just advanced gossip, and people need to realize that.
