  • This has been going for years and getting hugely worse with time. It’s extremely unfortunate. Fakes have been around for ages but what these men are doing is so fucked up. They mention in the article it’s gotten so bad that they were debating on even making yearbooks, with some teachers putting in caricatures instead of photos.

    And with AI image generation the way it is these days you don’t even need to make a deep fake video to make something convincing. There are sites that can pretty much take a photo of anyone you know and make porn out of it. Even your kids. I just hope people take this kinda thing into consideration when posting photos and videos of themselves and their families on social media. These are some pretty dark times.




  • Forget all the security and privacy concerns, I just don’t want to listen to fucking ads in my vehicle. I’d rather rip out all the speakers, spray paint the screen, and get me a Bluetooth speaker. And if they say I can’t do that, fuck you I bought the vehicle.

    But also the security and privacy issues. I don’t need, or want, my vehicle to be listening to me and anyone I happen to have in my vehicle constantly. They said they are willing to tailor the experience for people that want to listen to minimal or no ads but I call bullshit. This is a slippery slope and they know that.









  • It’s just the new trend. One person starts it and has a successful video, and then everyone else follows it regardless of whether or not that was the reason for success. But I’ll take it over constantly using jump cuts every 5 seconds. That shit has been obnoxious for years. Most of the things I watch on YouTube these days are educational stuff so I don’t see either of these things that often. The only time I’m okay with the multiple angles is if they use it as like a “tangent camera” for when you know they are going off script or just expressing their opinions on what they are talking about. You know, an actual reason for two cameras instead of just “oooo look at me.”

    The YouTube trend that’s been pissing me off are the YouTubers that change the thumbnail and title an hour after it’s posted because it’s not getting enough views and then make a community post talking about how it’s the best video they ever made.

    Just slap one of those “parental advisory” or whatever labels like they did to music back in the 90’s. It’s to the point that it’s pretty much ubiquitous for people to recognize. We make ratings obvious and upfront on covers for every other kind of media, why not books?
