Pretty strong argument that that's an eighth Amendment violation actually.

The time for strong arguments is gone.
fuck the only slight giveaway is the color of her lips
i really really don't like this generation of AI
They're embedded with watermarks to identify AI alternation tough, for eg Google can easily detect if Gemini was used in this case.
So cringy. Weirdos. Who does that?
I wish I could say that I'm surprised, but... We're talking about the "president" that posted an AI generated video of him flying a fighter jet dumping shit on protestors.
I hate hate hate Google, but I don't want to get a new email, host my own photos, and cloud server. Hell, I don't even know how nor have the time to learn, but if I had an alternative I would switch.
Fuck Google.
There’s a lot of alternatives, try googling it. /s Tuta mail for email, it’s Germany based and reasonably priced. Jotta cloud for files and photos, it’s Norwegian based. And Qwant for a search engine, it’s also EU based.
I’ve been using this for a while and so far so good. They are Europe, Switzerland, based and while their user protection laws is not perfect, is way better than anything US hosted.
There are email alternatives, you don't need to "host" your own servers or anything a physical backup works just as well. The only place that is difficult would the app store if you have an android. Some apps just require a play account to function
It would be super unfortunate if every AI center on the planet burned down overnight
So unfortunate. Thoughts and prayers if it did happen. 😔
Pathetic losers.
