Atoms lettuce break the iceberg.

It’s not a shame. Have you tried this? Try it now! It only takes a minute.

Test a bunch of images against ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Ask it if the image was AI-generated. I think you’ll be surprised.

Gemini is the current king of that sort of image analysis but the others should do well too.

What do you think the experts use? LOL! They’re going to run an image through the same exact process that the chatbots would use plus some additional steps if they didn’t find anything obvious on the first pass.

I don’t think it’s irresponsible to suggest to readers that they can use an AI chatbot to examine any given image to see if it was AI-generated. Even the lowest-performing multi-model chatbots (e.g. Grok and ChatGPT) can do that pretty effectively.

Also: Why stop at one? Try a whole bunch! Especially if you’re a reporter working for the BBC!

It’s not like they give an answer, “yes: Definitely fake” or “no: Definitely real.” They will analyze the image and give you some information about it such as tell-tale signs that an image could have been faked.

But why speculate? Try it right fucking now: Ask ChatGPT or Gemini (the current king at such things BTW… For the next month at least hahaha) if any given image is fake. It only takes a minute or two to test it out with a bunch of images!

Then come back and tell us that’s irresponsible with some screenshots demonstrating why.

Or like isn’t the UK the most surveiled country with their camera system?

Ahahah! That’s a good one!

You think all those cameras are accessible to everyone or even the municipal authorities? Think again!

All those cameras are mostly useless—even for law enforcement (the only ones with access). It’s not like anyone is watching them in real time and the recordings—if they even have any—are like any IT request: Open a ticket and wait. How long? I have no idea.

Try it: If you live in the UK, find some camera in a public location and call the police to ask them, “is there an accident at (location camera is directly pointing at)?”

They will ask you all sorts of questions before answering you (just tell them you heard it through the grapevine or something) but ultimately, they will send someone out to investigate because accessing the camera is too much of a pain in the ass.

It’s the same situation here in the US. I know because the UK uses the same damned cameras and recording tech. It sucks! They’re always looking for ways to make it easier to use and every rollout of new software actually makes it harder and more complicated!

How easy is the ticket system at your work? Now throw in dozens of extra government-mandated fields 🤣

Never forget: The UK invented bureaucracy and needles paperwork!

Think about all the absolutely terrible writing that’s out there. Writing that people are reading because they feel like they’ve read everything else in their fetish genre already.

You can do better than that! Surely!

It’s so bad that people are resorting to using AI to write (awful) stories for them. These stories don’t make any sense yet people read them anyway. Why? Because they ran out of the other stuff they like in their little fetish genre.

Tell your story! I’m positive someone will be interested in it.

I recently wrote a novel for a writing contest: https://www.honeyfeed.fm/novels/22194

Many people thought it was funny and entertaining but most stopped reading after the second or third chapter. The people that made it all the way to the end expressed an attitude like, “Finally! A story that’s actually unique!” And that’s exactly why I wrote it! Because I’m sick of “the same old shit” (in the isekai genre) 🤣

Write your story for you and be satisfied 👍

Her problem is she cited the wrong bible!

Clearly, she should’ve cited the real bible that has the true word of the gods in it. Not that atheist Christian bible!

Remember: If you don’t believe in my gods, you’re an atheist!

I hope the SCOTUS justices aren’t using 3-strikes-you’re-out ISPs! All it would take is three random DMCA takedown notices and they’d lose Internet.

Their entire workflow is in Linux (KDE/Kate/Krita/Inkscape) which is awesome!

You jest, but if conservatives have their way, you’ll soon have to verify your ID by uploading a video every time you visit the site (if not logged in). Even for non-adult content!

Because the reason for the ID isn’t to “protect the children” or anything like that. It’s about control. Conservatives want the power to decide what people get to see and ID verification systems are just a small part of that.

This is fowl play!

A “minor slip-up during a ‘bottoms up moment’” fits this problem to a tea.

Whenever I hear someone hating on “AI” I think, “Wait: What are they even talking about?” Because it’s far, far too ambiguous.

Will they get mad at me because I used gpt-oss:20b (on my personal GPU) to help me summarize the architecture of some code that I didn’t write? Do they even know that such things exist?

Will they get mad at me because I used ComfyUI (on my personal PC) to combine two images into one?

Will they get mad at me for using speech recognition to write something out on my phone?

Do they get mad whenever forecasters use hurricane path prediction/modeling?

All these things and a whole lot more are “AI”.

It’s good to know that incompetence is still the guiding principle of the Trump administration 👍

Doesn’t matter: Nobody uses right shift for anything but pinball games!

To summarize:

• The Republicans have no real plans to fix health care. The only thing they’ve thought up so far is an even bigger handout to Visa and MasterCard as well as other rich/incredibly profitable/unnecessary middlemen companies that handle Health Savings Account plans. Note: The more money you make, the more money you save via HSA plans!
• The Democrats have no real plans to fix health care. The only thing they’ve thought of is to extend the Republican band-aid known as Romneycare the Obamacare subsidies which will only slightly delay the inevitable, on-going collapse of health care in the United States.

What should be illegal is patents like this!

Open source software. Sigh.
