I wish I could say that I'm surprised, but... We're talking about the "president" that posted an AI generated video of him flying a fighter jet dumping shit on protestors.

That fact that I can believe this without looking it up is truely an omen of how fucked up shit is.
So cringy. Weirdos. Who does that?
It would be super unfortunate if every AI center on the planet burned down overnight
So unfortunate. Thoughts and prayers if it did happen. 😔
Pretty strong argument that that's an eighth Amendment violation actually.
The time for strong arguments is gone.
Pathetic losers.
I hate hate hate Google, but I don't want to get a new email, host my own photos, and cloud server. Hell, I don't even know how nor have the time to learn, but if I had an alternative I would switch.
Fuck Google.
Clear your login data and cookies on all your devices. As you use your device with different logins just force yourself to do "change email" after each one as you use them. It will be annoying for like the first day. You'll randomly remember "oh yeah, I still have Gmail for my electric bill that's on auto pay". It's fine. It doesn't need to happen in one day.
Porting Drive and Photos is more annoying and time consuming. But that's just a night with a beer or two and a guide you can find online. All of which will offer alternatives. Just be sure you're not going from one awful company to another when you choose one. Self hosting is great but it's not for everyone.
It's not as bad as you think it is. You probably overestimate the number of accounts you actually use regularly.
There are email alternatives, you don't need to "host" your own servers or anything a physical backup works just as well. The only place that is difficult would the app store if you have an android. Some apps just require a play account to function
There’s a lot of alternatives, try googling it. /s Tuta mail for email, it’s Germany based and reasonably priced. Jotta cloud for files and photos, it’s Norwegian based. And Qwant for a search engine, it’s also EU based.
Reminds me of learned helplessness. Is switching email a one day and youre done type of thing. No. But pretty fast, you can get quite far, and the rest comes along as you go. If you want convenience, tey proton mail. They even have a smart switch feature. It's its own ecosystem, the difference is you acually pay the company, instead of letting them scrape and harvest all your data to sell
I’ve been using this for a while and so far so good. They are Europe, Switzerland, based and while their user protection laws is not perfect, is way better than anything US hosted.
fuck the only slight giveaway is the color of her lips
i really really don't like this generation of AI
They're embedded with watermarks to identify AI alternation tough, for eg Google can easily detect if Gemini was used in this case.
But there is no guarantee that every image generating LLM will always keep watermarks. The technology and model basics are out there in the wild. Someone can and will custom train a new one to create political deepfakes that does not generate intentional watermarks.
BTW I didn't generate these, I've been holding on to them for a few years.
Haha i still have these as well somewhere. I liked the last one in the collection where he is in jail.
I dunno who you are but I love you. ;)
