Talks about: internet governance, counter-violent extremism, and counter-disinformation but (mostly) movies

Q should have given him a packet of Werther's Originals that transform into a Stannah Star Lift for the finale on the Golden Gate Bridge IMO.

You rarely see someone go to the trouble of naming the "photographer" of a deepfake. I'm aware of Leonard McCombe's work, and am amazed someone would go to the trouble of attributing an AI photo to a specific photographer.

Thanks, I hate it here.

The incident happened in 2024. Convicted in 2025, even if he loses his appeal, he won't start serving his sentence until the Summer of 2026.

But Annie, it would be impossible to find the medical supplies to fake this convincingly

DJ Carey, a legendary Kilkenny hurler, he pretended to have cancer to defraud money from friends and supporters. At one point he posted a photo of "his hospital treatment" which was very clearly him lying in a normal bed with a phone charger up his nose.
Why are we so easily fooled by fraudsters like DJ Carey?
Most of us are vulnerable to charm, celebrity, and hope — DJ Carey is just the latest in a long line of fraudsters like Lance Armstrong and Belle Gibson to exploit trusting fans

"It's not like he could have thrown together a more convincing fake by spending under 3 euros?"

"Oh"
