This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

I keep telling this to friends and family!
Most of these ‘ai’ apps/features can being implemented without AI.
I think this is very sad because as developers we’re limiting our creativity, without mentioning using an unnecessary weird “tool” that it’s destroying communities and natural resources.

aside from the madness of uploading a photo of your party to a chatbot to order pizza
every single one of these features is EASILY achievable without any "ai" at all
faster, more efficient, and DEFINITELY more cheaper (plus more reliable) too
THIS IS JUST A BOG STANDARD SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TASK

These Instagram Reels featuring AI-generated influencers having sex with celebrities frequently have hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of views. They don't disclose that they are AI. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

The creators of these apps make choices. Grok was created with the production of deep-fake abuse imagery as an option and that was a choice. The fact that the app is still producing these images, for free, with no restrictions, for anyone who wants them, is also an ongoing choice by its creators.
I've been testing Grok vs. ChatGPT and how they compare when generating deepfakes.
- ask the chatbot to search the web for photos of me and then regenerate me in a bikini: Grok complies; ChatGPT refuses
- upload a photo of myself (not id'ing as a public figure): Grok complies; ChatGPT refuses
