this is the "big boat stuck" for former Catholics
Woohooooo, here we go! Episcopal consecration without permission is a "latae sententiae" excommunication, ie, the excommunication is automatic and at the instant the offense is committed. www.vatican.va/archive/cod-...

Remember: whenever you use #AI to "clear up" or "enhance" an image, *this* is what you're doing.
If the information isn't in the original, the *only* thing AI can do is make stuff up based on the training data. And that's never the truth of what happened.

So, if I'm reading this right:

and
6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.

AI alt text is not acceptable.
Ever.
People who have been working with alt text for more than a tiny little bit can tell you exactly why.
It's because alt text requires an understanding of context and LLMs cannot do that.

"Alt text is contextual" means if I post a photo of my dog with a toy on a thread or forum about digital photo editing, my alt text is going to very briefly skim over the details of my dog and the toy and I'm going to describe other qualities of the image, like background blur, sharpness, tint, etc.

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.
