Reposted by HatBen "Random Halloween Word Generator is offline" Paddon 🎃 @benpaddon.net · 20/04/2026Every AI commercial gaslights you into thinking you're an idiot. Before you had access to AI you were too stupid to find your girlfriend's makeup, or boil an egg, or pick a shirt. Every commercial starts from the premise of "Hey, so you know how you're the dumbest fucking fuck to ever do it?" 540795

The honesty of trying to make your phone capture a good image with a dirty window in the way. The fact it doesn’t look cinematic or processed. It’s just so fucking REAL. 26822

![image of an info sheet, the "breaking news consumer's handbook" that has 9 cautions:
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
3. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses, e.g.,
"we are getting reports" could mean anything; "We are seeking information" means they don't have it, and "[News outlet] has learned" means it has a scoop or is going out on a limb. 6. Look for news outlets close to the incident. 7. Compare multiple sources. 8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers [should add: And the AI fakes]. 9. Beware reflexive retweeting (resharing). Some of this is on you.
