There are billions of people. Find the right one, and a "reasonable person" could not tell the difference.

Image a law that said you cannot name your baby a name if someone else's name starts with the same letter. After 26 names, all future names would be illegal. The law essentially would make naming babies illegal.

The "alphabet" in this case is the distict visual depiction of all people. As long as the visual innumeration of "reasonable people" is small enough, it essentially makes any generation illegal. Conversely, if "reasonable people" granulated fine enough, it makes avoiding prosecution trivial by adding minor conflicting details.

How close does the deep fake need to be to the original? What we saw with DALLE2 was that each person whose face was restricted made a hole in the latent space of all faces. After enough celebrities faces were restricted, there were so many latent space holes that the algorithm couldn't make faces at all since every producable face was a certain "distance" away from a restriction.

Sure, you can make lora training on unconsenting people illegal and also make particular prompts illegal, but there is enough raw data and vague prompts to mold a generation into something that looks like it was done the illegal way without breaking either of those two restrictions.

I am sure there is some place America has been blockading for decades and interfering in elections that I could find to make a comparison, but my main point still stands that "completely out of the blue attacks" rarely are that.

I was comparing it to what Israel did to Gaza pre-Oct 6th. Denying resources to a country that bombed israeli citizens and was run by war-criminals? Justified. Being surprised and calling it "unprovoked" when they strike back? Unjustified.

Polls probably showed it would hurt them, and they waited until they have 5 years of uninterrupted power to take action that could hurt them elecorally.

Do you remember what the British PM did in 2019?

Reminds me that Zelensky's initial cause of popularity (the one that got him in the show casting him as the president of Ukraine) was from a 'Ukraine's got talent' like show where he played the piano with his penis.

"The dog got in the food drawer again... and do the dishes!"

Trump knows everyone hates him. That is the threat: get rid of me and this guy becomes the president.

Wait, wasn't yesterday this a woman? Or is this a different case?

Total victory! A final solution to the Gaza problem!

Americans famously signed the first bombs dropped on Japan after peral harbor - and attached the trinkets that were brought by the Japanese peace negotiatiors.

Of course, the mear existence of the negotiators show that America was taking hostile action aganst japan prior to Pearl Harbor.

I thought Republicans didn't like the fairness doctrine?

Harris: "Wow, this list is short. Maybe afterwards I can start on my own list...."

Woosh. She will be 60 in October, but 47 in January, just like Biden turned 46 back in January of 2021.

I've been holding back a "Trump deals with Crowdstrike fallout" joke for days, but don't know how to word it.

Na, she'll be 47 in January.

Trump is more "Colored" than Harris. Colored Orange.

29 hours. Once you pass 30, you are required to give health benefits

Knowing you have HIV decreases transmission by 90%. Giving antivirals decreases transmission by 99%. Back in the early 2000 I saw a paper saying we could make HIV tests for 10 cents a person if we wanted to produce enough for every person on the planet (0.1810^9= $800 million). That was something that could have been done back then. $40 a vaccine would be a price tag of $320 billion

At first I thought it said Ben Shapiro and I was like WTF!
