Apparently either blue and green are the easiest colors for me to distinguish, or the way my monitor is degrading has rendered all things magenta a little iffy. (It's twelve years old. I should probably actually get a new one.)

AI fakes spread disinformation. Is the distrust they create even worse? Manipulated images undermine our shared realityβ€”and the democracy built upon it.

A few weeks ago, I saw a group of people in a Facebook comments section trying to figure out if a picture of Ilhan Omar was real. (It was not.) I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I wrote about what I'm calling "strategic memes against public participation." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

In case you missed it: This visualization examines the Hubble Space Telescope image of the Egg Nebula, released last week. Travel around the nebula in three dimensions!

Exasperatingly frequently necessary reminder that the weaponization of ableism and fatphobia and homophobia and transphobia against your political enemies still works to NORMALIZE those things, thus SYSTEMICALLY HARMING your supposed allies.

a digital illustration of a smiley face (3 lines total) resulting in a 53.7% ai likelihood evaluation

Kind of an awkward PSA because I've had some artist mutuals recommend these sites/tools, but
"ai image detection" tools are snake oil, and I feel like nobody bothered to scrutinize them.

So I opened photoshop cs6, drew a smiley face, and uploaded it to the "accurate" detector:

5 sketches of Deinocheirus in different positions. Some of the sketches are details of its head and neck

Let’s sketch the magnificent beast that is Deinocheirus!

Deinocheirus mirificus was a huge ornithomimosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous in Asia. This herbivorous dinosaur had huge arms with large claws that were probably primarily used for digging or gathering plants
