Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

This can't be "reformed"

Ubisoft may have cancelled the Sands of Time remake (again!) but I'm still hammering away at my #PrinceofPersia 2 re-implementation. I'm hoping to be completely finished with this within a few months

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

Just saw a photo that Grok produced of a child no older than four years old in which it took off her dress, put her in a bikini + added what is intended to be semen. ChatGPT does not do this. Gemini does not do this.

Another girl who appears to be just 11 or 12 with a brain tumor, Grok removed her shirt completely. 

Stating that the people producing the prompts are the only ones responsible puts an undue burden on victims, most of which have no idea this is happening. This problem + exploitation of children could be fixed in a matter of minutes by the MechaHitler team.

Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

Nah, it's not that complicated buddy. You said they should have given him players. I said they gave him 7. Because they did. And for some reason, this completely blew a gasket in your head and you've been churning out all sorts of mental gymnastics ever since. It's simple. 7 players were signed.

You mean the picture showing all 7 of the players signed during his tenure, as I originally stated, and you disputed?
