Random Abstract Memory

Since we don’t have a “random thoughts” thread, I thought I’d start one where people can waffle on about whatever non-RD stuff is going on in their life.

I’ve witnessed a new horror of AI in the past day. There’s been a random stabbing and a manhunt near me, the police released blurry door-cam captures of the suspect and people have been putting them through AI to make them hi-res and to generate a clear face and those AI images started getting shared around more than the actual ones because apparently people think AI can magic what someone looks like from a blurry image rather than it being a completely bloody generic face.  The police have had to issue a statement asking people not to use AI on suspect photos as it hampers the identification process but what’s even worse is the reaction to that…some people genuinely can’t see how it’s any different to a police issued photo-fit.

I despair sometimes.

That did give me a good laugh, thanks Warbo!

Had to give a presentation at uni recently about doing interviews with writers. Did a Thunderbirds intro for it, which amused everyone. I also kept putting jars of Dolmio into the slides
