Posted by DoD. Interesting flag on the helmet there. Gilead is closer by the day.

The fact that there are still American Jews supporting Trump is powerful evidence falsifying the stereotype of Jewish intellectual achievement.

There isn't much choice. You can support the "West" which wants to destroy Israel and all Jews and promote Islamism and slavery for all Christians and Jews alike, or you can support a dumb as fuck tyrannical idiot who halfway wants to push back on that, undermined by how he corruptly loves a bunch of Muslim oil sheikhs. It's not exactly a good situation for anyone other than people who want to see Islam come to dominate the world.

There is always a risk analysis and balancing that is required.  If lives can be lost in the time that it takes to generate an analysis of an image to determine whether or not it is valid then the prudent thing to do is not take that time, but just shut the system down to ensure safety.

That's why it is a criminal offence, at least in this country, to intentionally make a false report.

But was it a report? I haven't seen anything on how the posts were framed on social media (like did they tag the train company) just reporting on how fake image stopped trains.

That's a good question. How did the information get to a decision-maker with the authority to shut down the system?  I assume it was a report of some sort.

I guess we also can't discount the possibility that someone made and posted the hoax but then someone else reported it to the train company not knowing that it was a hoax.

I know right.
This is being mostly reported as a "AI does bad" story. But I'd even more so read it as a cutting back on employees and ruining resilience story. This bridge was just half a mile from Lancaster Station.  They seriously didn't have someone they could send on a 10 minutes walk to check?

I loved the double layer as well. The article reported on it probably being AI fake because the journalist ran it through an AI tool, relying on its judgement.

I guess eventually the dead Internet will be supplemented by the AI Internet where we watch and read AI reactions to AI content.

And all this will burn our climate down and collapse our economy. Maybe this will be our civilisation's version of the Easter islands statutes.

A senator describing the impact Trump's trade war with Canada is having on Washington State.

Our American friends here will be happy to know that my younger son went to Buffalo to watch the football game on the weekend with a group of friends, and they warmly welcomed by the Buffalo fans sitting by them in the stands.

There were many apologies for the "Cheeto in Chief"

It's not obvious how you maintain acceptable safety and at the same time not risk falling victim to fake safety problem reports. A problem that is much older than AI.

I think people will have to figure out mitigation strategies (if simply just use algorithms to check if doctored image) as AI will make this fake shit easier and easier to crank out.
