With AI video also getting increasingly impressive and believable, I worry that we will soon live in a world where you could have actual video evidence of a murder, and that evidence being dismissed or cast into doubt because of how easy, or supposedly how easy it would be to fake.
Its one of the signs in the picture.
It must be so easy for someone who can see evidence of war crimes being committed right in front of them and just write it off because some person involved in reporting about it was once described by a British paper as supporting the government of the country he was born in. I’m sick of people just looking the other way at atrocities being committed here with the shield of “but Hamas”
'…an internal part of the device “broke off” while being implanted. Overnight, researchers observed the monkey, identified only as “Animal 20” by UC Davis, scratching at the surgical site, which emitted a bloody discharge… …A surgery to repair the issue was carried out the following day, yet fungal and bacterial infections took root. ’
'Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers. Her condition deteriorated for months until the staff finally euthanized her. A necropsy report indicates that she had bleeding in her brain and that the Neuralink implants left parts of her cerebral cortex “focally tattered.” ’
When you get a device jammed in your brain and a piece of it breaks off and you start emitting bloody discharge because of the fungal infection in your brain that leaves you shaking uncontrollably for months because your brain is bleeding and your cerebral cortex is torn to shreds, and you die, please forgive me for describing your death as “gruesome”.
I just think it’s really funny that instead of the phrase “apples and oranges” you went with pears. Pears being the single most comparable, similar fruit to apples out of any other fruit. Starfield draws a lot of inspiration from No Man’s Sky, it’s perfectly fair to compare them whether or not they are literally the same game.
I think they are both equally scary. I’m imagining cases where photo and video evidence have played major roles in proving police abuses of power for example. We will certainly have an onslaught of people making faking evidence of all sorts of things to push a political narrative, but equally in any politicized narrative, any politically inconvenient photos or videos of real things that really happened might be swept under the rug as “someone probably just faked that for political gain.” Sure you could have an investigation to look into the authenticity of the evidence, or look at other forensic evidence, but probably only if you can afford to have such an investigation done, or enough public attention gets drawn to it. I fear we are reaching a scary time where, in a sense, reality will be whatever people want it to be, and we will increasingly be unable to trust anything we see as real with absolute certainty. We have been headed down this road for a very long time, but this will just make it much worse
