Enhancing grainy images and videos with generative AI to identify key missing details often produces inaccurate and unreliable results. AI models have no reference as to what missing details in a grainy image/video look like, and often generate those details based on an incorrect guess.

An AI-enhanced version of a grainy image that appears to be authentic and shows several men being arrested in relation to the ongoing incident at RAF Fairford is currently being shared on multiple platforms. A SynthID check reveals that the enhanced image was generated with OpenAI.

I reviewed Spamalot in the UK with Tim Curry as King Arthur. I wrote that he was the single most charismatic performer I had ever seen onstage. The editor tried to delete 'I had ever seen', thinking I meant that night. Me: No. He is the most charismatic performer I have ever seen. Bar none.
Tim Curry taking a curtain call in Spamalot, dressed as King Arthur, arm in arm with Eric Idle. Unfortunately that dipwad John Cleese is in the background. Into every life a little rain must fall.

the BBC couldn't have chosen a more diametrically opposed women in their beliefs and actions to comment on Dolly Parton. Dolly spent millions of her money on minorities, women, LGBT people. Vs funding anti trans terrorism and threatening legal lawfare against Amnesty International.

Dolly was not neutral. She was apolitical in that she didn’t talk about politics. But when it came to poverty, literacy, LGBTQ+ rights, etc. she was outspoken. She was only apolitical because she didn’t consider those things political issues - she considered them human issues.

Still coming down from yesterday’s eclipse/meteor shower high. It was already magical enough that I managed to witness something so fleeting but also lucking out and being to capture it, was extraordinary. 💫

The whole scenario with Trump getting Balogun's red card suspended shouldn't have been surprising. I get the anger but if there is anyone to really be angry at here, it is Infantino's FIFA bending backwards to appease.

If politicians really want to “save childhood,” they can start by ensuring every child has three meals a day, a safe place to sleep, and safe access to education. Banning social media does nothing to help kids who don’t have basic resources.

Rishi Sunak tells Radio 4 that "AI is changing every aspect of our economy and our lives, and if I was back in office and looked at my diary and where I was going to spend my time, I would spend it on that" At no point does he or the BBC mention the £373,000 given to him every year by an AI company

Reform is a protest party. A protest against decency, integrity, kindness, expertise, and progress. It's a party of pettiness and hate, and it is made up of petty and hateful people from the grassroots to the very top. What it doesn't have is competence. So good luck with the bins and potholes.

Labour losing votes to Greens, Tories to Reform. The left / right split remains. The big story is loss of faith in trad parties. It's an inevitable consequence of nearly 20 years of austerity. The economy doesn't work for most of us. GDP means nothing if 90% of growth goes to the richest 10%

Just reposting myself as the sentiment still stands. I'm not saying that there isn't a lesson for a lot of people to learn from these results but at the end of the day, these are local council elections and oh boy, and good luck to those, who voted for Reform to lead theirs.

truly appalling to drag Iranian people's liberation struggles into their war rhetoric. this is at the root of why debates about anti-imperialism and anti-authoritarianism are so messed up today, and fundamentally detrimental to democracy movements anywhere
“For many years, you have asked for America’s help, but you never got it,” he said in a message directed to the Iranian people. “No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want, so let’s see how you respond. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force.”

The president said the U.S. military campaign was aimed at Iran’s missiles, its Navy and its proxy groups in the region — and warned that there could be U.S. casualties.
