I was taking the comment thread (about how dangerous this could be in photographic evidence) a step further by imagining a hypothetical techno-distopian future where corporate controlled AI alters photos to make them look better, but in reality, it creates a back door where incriminating evidence can be created.

edit: since it wasn't obvious to readers, this is a hypothetical of a techno-distopian future...

Imagine taking a selfie only to see an image of you holding a knife. But there are no knives in your hands. Another snap. Same image displays on the screen, but there's a person of particular importance in the background. You turn your head but are all alone. Nobody is around. You're starting to freak out. Are you being pranked, maybe your phone has been hacked. Another shutter sound effect and you see an image of yourself over a victim. You frantically open your camera's gallery, thinking your eyes are fooling you, but the photos are the same. And are sent to the cloud. Deleting isn't allowed, AI detected felonious imagery. You've been reported to multiple agencies. You are alone. There are no knives in your hands.

Well if it isn't Abe Simpson.

Mine is 19. Nearly lost him a few weeks ago to kidney disease. He's on special diet now and doing better. I can't help feeling like we would have caught it earlier with regular checkups. He's old, deaf, and has an insatiable appetite, I just hope the quality of life he has in his final years are worth it to him.

This issue only occurs when i go into a deep meditation specific to relaxing my muscles before sleep. I had to learn this as a kid because my mind would race for hours trying to fall asleep. With a few different techniques, I can fall asleep within 15 minutes. 5 if I'm already tired. But it wasn't until recently that i discovered i could push the technique far enough to relax my autonomous breathing. But probably very much related to sleep apnea, just not quite the same in my case.

A funny thing I discovered, if I relax my muscles too much when falling asleep, my body's autonomous breathing stops. It's weird, I just literally stop breathing until something else in me starts to panic then I'm gasping for air.

I feel like they're being disingenuous. Lots of what-aboutisms and moving goal posts and ignoring the issues that got us to needing right to repair laws in the first place, namely Apple and John Deere and all the copy cats, but also with the goal of reducing e-waste.

I love the juxtaposition of cavemen boasting about stone tools while holding what appears to be drinks in glasses with plastic straws.

Hijacking to say Complex PTSD by Pete Walker is a great read on the subject, even if you don't think you suffer from cptsd, it's very eye-opening.

I've never seen this amount of energy to run in the presidential election from an unqualified con-man. And I don't disagree with you on this showing issues in the state itself, but I suspect we may have different ideas on what those issues are.

Cats would be furry purries.
