Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Clip starts at 1:40, not the whole thing though. Trying to find it. edit: A bit more of the ai

“In another life, we probably could have been friends,” the AI creation of the 37-year-old Army veteran said, addressing Horcasitas. “I believe in forgiveness…”

"This is the best I can ever give you of what I would have looked like if I got the chance to grow old," the AI version of Pelkey said. "Remember, getting old is a gift that not everybody has, so embrace it and stop worrying about those wrinkles."

Funeral directors are about to add personalised “final goodbye” messages to their packages aren’t they?

Pelkey’s sister and brother-in-law used the technology to recreate his image and voice likeness to “talk” to the courtroom about his life and the day he met Gabriel Paul Horcasitas, who shot him during a confrontation near Gilbert and Germann roads.

Stacey Wales, Pelkey's sister, said everyone who knew Pelkey "agreed this capture was a true representation of the spirit and soul of how Chris would have thought about his own sentencing as a murder victim."

Pelkey’s family sought justice and found some peace in the process, especially seeing how one of Stacey’s children reacted to seeing their Uncle Chris one more time.

”'Mom and Dad, thank you so much for making that. I needed to hear from Uncle Chris one last time. And that meant so much, thank you.' That is not what this is intended to do. The result of it having it be a healing piece for anybody who saw it was just a beneficial result,” said Stacey.

Your family doesn't love you and society is fine delighting in the presence of a computer wearing your skin as a replacement.

I know a guy who grew up and lived a long time around Gilbert.

everything he has ever said about the place makes it sound dangerous, stupid, and evil.

Also, it's literally the sister's words next to a barely animated image of him. They couldn't just bring in a male family member to read this statement next to a big photo of him in court?

[–] underisk@hexbear.net 37 points 17 hours ago

if he's been resurrected through AI then by not continuing to run that AI with constant stimulation you are killing him again. charge them with infinite murder.

The days of Cash 4 Kids are over who needs to bribe judges to fill private jails when CCI can spin up an AI dept use their existing contacts to become court approved jurisdiction by jurisdiction and then generate AI testimony of the victims of crime to leverage longer prison sentences that they administer. It's the perfect vertical integration.

Victim impact statements are admissable in sentencing decisions.

They've finally done it, they've found a durable ROI mechanism for AI.
