While the eye-reflection technique offers a potential path for detecting AI-generated images, the method might not work if AI models evolve to incorporate physically accurate eye reflections, perhaps applied as a subsequent step after image generation.

I’m not discouraging AI detection, we will absolutely need it in the future, but we have to acknowledge that AI detection is a cat and mouse game.

I think the Israeli have not liked Palestinians for a bit longer than Biden has been anything.

Literally a slight video edit made a particular group think Biden was chasing after some invisible chair during D-Day. For a particular group of folks it won’t matter about AI, they can’t even detect objectively provable false information that was done with the most minor of functions a video editor provides. Not even when the proof is literally a two second Google search for the YouTube clip of the original footage.

AI isn’t ruining the Internet, the Internet was already ruined by people whose mind wasn’t ready for the ability for the entire world to speak to every other person on the Internet.

I think back to that one episode in The Orville when they’re talking about how they gave some backass society a food replicator and they killed each other within five years. That’s the Internet right now. We are still in the baby phase of the Internet and there are still a ton of people who just can not wrap their mind fully around the tool that’s in front of them. For some, it’s like I gave a five year old a PSRL-1 and said, don’t hurt yourself and called it done.

AI isn’t going to hurt people with critical thinking skills, it’s going to hurt people who never had critical thinking skills and those people are already rabid fiends running rampant on the Internet like there’s no tomorrow.

China is one of the leading producers of solar panels at exceptionally cheap prices. China and the Philippines are currently in a bit of a sour mood with each other. The US could step in with cheap solar panels if they were researching that, but alas, who do you think is going to be providing them with cheap LNG?

So while the story indicates that solar is at it’s cheapest it’s ever been. Not for the Philippines. The Philippines is a clear cut example of how the United State’s continued resistance to a domestic solar panel production industry is literally hurting their long term prospects. There’s a lot of nations out there that want panels and right now, China is the only serious game.

I use Firefox, but at the same time I have Vivaldi installed for PWA, like for mbin right now. Why Firefox removed SSB is beyond me, was like one of the things I used regularly. Being able to pin my Mastodon account to the KDE taskbar and click it to pop it open in it’s own window is something I really don’t want to do without.
