-- 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).

-- 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. --
An AI video of Christopher Pelkey forgave his killer in court in what officials believe was the first use of AI to deliver a victim impact statement.
The message was well-received by Judge Todd Lang, who told the courtroom, “I love that AI. Thank you for that. I felt like that was genuine; that his obvious forgiveness of Mr. Horcasitas reflects the character I heard about today,”
i fucking hate the future, man
I lost ten years off my life reading that. What the hell.
does Arizona elect judges?
they don't
weird, so this guy has no excuse
I'm glad to know that when I get gunned down by cops that they'll play an AI simulacra of me that tells them that I deserved it and they did a good thing, really, and should be proud. Really puts me at peace.
There also seems to be an onus on the family of the victims to do a public show of forgiveness even hugging. I get that they may do it for their own relief but the way its paraded knowing full well they won't find justice rubs me the wrong way
Yeah, it's so fucked up how much emphasis is put on "forgiveness" in our culture. No matter how awful a person is, or what kind of horrible things they've done, or how little genuine remorse they actually show, we should always forgive, because "it is the right thing to do."
For real. Yet a lot of the same people would kick their child out if they came out as lgbt. Or support others doing so. Where the so called right thing there? Man should do one where the CEO shot by luigi says healthcare should be a right see how much ppl will swoon then
through the power of the digital luigi board, you too can exonerate your killer from beyond the grave. the future is Now.
luigi board
:kelly:
he spoke
h0nkeys have no grasp of reality
So next time I have to go to court for something I can just make an AI Video of the Victim saying he forgives me, and I go free of charge?
Alright, fuck this, I'm going outside.
AI video is going to be admissible as real evidence within five years as reality is abandoned and ruled fake
Ahhhhhhhh! What is this meaningless shit!?
Nah fuck all that. 
I read about this on BlueSky and honestly it's so fucking absurd it slid off my brain. Like WTF?
cracker ass honkeys
it'll be nice of that judge's AI recreation to forgive whoever gets him
I love how all character-based AI that isn't used for porn is just a different variation of Live Forever as You Are Now with Alan Resnick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg29TuWo0Yo
