it gets worse. here's what someone else on social media posted when they used different AI I programs to de-pixilate the same image to show how incredibly INCREDIBLY damaging this could be in terms of relying on AI for any kind of identification of witnesses, suspects, victims, etc.

I want to hug the poor guy cos he is processing trauma. at no point has this man found equilibrium in his entire adult life. I am also still salty about the part where we missed him explaining by sketching a seylat on the hotel stationery to a very real Jim Kirk who his last best friend was.

wtf why is temu Geralt all over my insta feed burning off his shirt and ravishing innocent maidens who all look vaguely like Anne Hathaway abd how has Henry Cavill not sued the makers into oblivion?
the AI it burns. generative AI video which apparently swallowed the entirety of Henry Cavill's performance in The Witcher right down to the shape of his teeth which is creepy beyond creepy as he has his way with an incredibly dewy freckled protagonist

So we're kind of a mess and could really use your help to get us in a better place, physically and mentally. honestly mostly physically, at this point. but getting our digs pulled together would be a massive massive boost to our combined mental health. gofund.me/a9e275b86

part of the reason I do not read on my phone at night if I can avoid it is a) I am old and I require the ability to make the text larger and b) I do not like the amber filter on my phone even though I know it is necessary at night time but it makes it hard for me to play my sorting game.

I appreciate the #spyxfamily manga covers also being iconic mid-century modern chair design fan art. I bet Endo-sensei has all the Vitra Design Museum 1:6 replicas. I cannot help but feel @okbjgm.bsky.social would approve.

#StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy is AMAZING and the fact that it got made it all and had such extraordinary diverse characters and queer representation is a miracle. I am completely gutted but not surprised.
I am not okay. but the fact that we got this amazing show at all, in a time of oligarchy and fascism, is a goddamn miracle that I will treasure forever.
