A glowing endorsement, but deserved? Under "more like this" we find multiple hit-pieces by Zitron, hating on one man. You guessed it, Musk Bad Man. Never heard of Zitron, but I won't be back. His bitterness is on verge of unh

There were no reprisal attacks on places of worship connected to the attacker's faith. This is what the priest and everyone meant by reprisal. We're talking about the video, nothing more. Your argument is poor if you're bundl

The PM wrongly conflates the church stabbing with "disinformation", which nobody denies is a problem on the internet in general. Australian politicians do this a lot and people are sick of it. They highlight "issue A" th

Australian authorities claim the church stabbing video may incite reprisal attacks. Censoring is their attempt at behaviour modification of the few, at the expense of the right to raw information for the many. They want a blindfold mechanis

If you're worried about fake people not meeting your needs, perhaps the problem is "needing fake people"? What's the use case for fake couple images? Who is the target audience? Is the intention to deceive viewers? If so

I wonder if you could send a robot to the store to buy cigarettes in the UK, or indeed the robot may decide it wants to buy cigarettes. "Sorry we can't sell cigarettes to anyone born after 2009, or robots".

Yeh the infinite latticework does reveal a kind of order, I know what you mean. Perhaps it calms the OCD person seeing all those patterns. Although while under the influence of psychedelics you're unlikely to arrange your sock drawer w

Did you replace the real you with "AI you" to ask me "why"? I presume you wouldn't do that? How about replacing your own voice on a video that you make, allowing your viewers to believe it's your natural voice?

Yes exactly. Thanks. Voice cloning was indeed the suggestion made above. The ethical challenge in my opinion, is that your status as living human narrator on a video is now irrelevant, when you're replaced by voice cloning. Perhaps we&

A lot different? The equivalent would be applying makeup to your mannequin replacement. All the things you mention are decoration. Replacing your voice is more than a surface alteration. I guess if some clever AI decides to take issue with

Nothing happens, it's a relative size demonstration. Earth is the grape, the sun an elephant etc. Black hole with 4m solar mass is just a large sphere. Good video, but there is no simulation.

Good point, but realistically if harm is caused due to unsafe warehouse stacking, there is a human employee behind that error. The exception might be automated stacking software, which would need to be licensed and done properly. So it&#x
