That's probably fair

AI is their tool

he just let him say that

The same reasons. (Probably not as much, since at least it's using an actual photo of your face not an LLM synthesis, and [if I gather right] you the user have agency over which 'good' shots are used, and it's probably not using it to train facial recognition/forgery models for god-knows-who)

ugh, that's bad too

Say goodbye to "that autistic relative with flat affect or eye contact avoidance" misery!!

Just find my mugshot in the papers and paste it into your albums like a normal psycho

I doubt any of you need to hear this but you are expressly forbidden from training Google to fake pictures of my face in arbitrary emotional states

Screenshot of a reddit ad selling Google "Pixel", which supposedly fixes your pals' undesirable facial expressions in digital photos. Caption reads "Let pixel automatically find and combine photos. Everyone really did look that good" and there's a family photo with automatic correction boxes placed over the face of anyone showing deviation from their approved camera face

Autocorrect for facial expressions doesn't go far enough. I want a camera that replaces my friends with better looking people altogether #fuckAI

Correction to the alt text: zooming in, I see it is not a plague-doctor mask but a pointy beard

I thought of that episode too!

I am reminded of

Armed robots take to the battlefield in Ukraine war Ukraine has embarked on a programme to deploy armed robots on the battlefield against Russian forces.

If the war robots can fight each other without human soldiers from either side setting foot on the battlefield, we can reach a new level of absurdity where people of all nations live in a fragile peace while pouring their economies into building robots to kill the other side's robots

Am I going to have to find out what the heck "lanyard class" is about

I loathe imitative AI but I can see a case for using it to recast some Star Trek TOS/TNG episodes with SNW actors, showing them to irritating trekbros, and laughing when they call it NuTrek written by babies who don't understand Star Trek

dermatologists HATE her for this one weird trick: throwing bricks at dermatologists

exceptions:

Scientists don't want you to know that they're making moonshine with that lab equipment they got you to sign off on

Scientists don't want you to know they aren't wearing trousers on this zoom call

Scientists don't want you to know what they think of you, another scientist

I mean, if someone says "scientists don't want you to know that vaccines cause global warming" or whatever, it's true, they REALLY don't

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Don't worry, whatever he said he'll do, he won't get around to it

Teasing the feet, I see. He's fascinatingly grotesque

Unremarkable symptoms-wise, that is. The flavour is AMAZING don't eat it. If you could isolate it from the poison, you could make a fortune in jam and fruit beer don't eat it

Honestly, it was unremarkable. I was maybe a bit spaced out at work the next day. But apparently the window between "no symptoms at all" and "dead" is too small for it to be any use as a recreational drug

*secret Dangerous Diners' Club high five*

Not in this quantum timeline

Is it me or is that a completely downplayed version of the effects too? It didn't even take out the whole of Edinburgh. At school we had grim exercises about how there'd be buildings shattered in Glasgow and radioactivity poisoning in Aberdeen

I once ate about half a lethal dose of deadly nightshade by mistake because I couldn't believe anything poisonous would be so delicious
