Racist Influencers Using OpenAI's Sora to Make it Look Like Poor People Are Selling Food Stamps for Cash
Folks looking for evidence of SNAP recipients as welfare queens have no shortage of AI generated schlock to use as justification.
Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

In generated videos like this, the plagiarism really shines through in how much the “people” look like famous Hollywood actors.

D’Angelo’s Voodoo album cover.
'There are records that crystallise genres, there are albums that carve out new spaces in established scenes, and there are LPs that, over time, end up symbolising the era in which they were created. Records that create a new musical language... Those are rare.'
R.I.P. D’Angelo

If you haven’t seen it, this footage from @apnews.com is incredibly important.
The intent here seems unmistakable, in two ways: (1) just read the genocide convention, here it **absolutely** is, and (2) this level of infrastructural destruction is, no question, meant as pre-development demolition.

damning thread on how the IDF's propaganda arm is scraping 3D assets intended for things like games, films, or architectural purposes and kitbashing together supposed hamas bunkers and iranian nuclear sites. a genocide campaign propped up in part by someone's nephew who got too into blender.

With Ai the fascist unreality state can hallucinate false evidence of a crime you never committed.

It’s absolutely insane that if an individual person uses 0.5 seconds of a song to make a completely different song they have to pay royalties forever but these tech scum can just take millions of books to make their garbage robots for free.

Dara Birnbaum's 'Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman (1978-79)'
Sad to hear artist Dara Birnbaum has died. Her Wonder Woman video has long been a fave, and it beat Mark Leckey and vaporwave to the the punch by a couple decades.
