It is either a holy thread that is resurrected over and over again, or it is a zombie thread that plods along, gnawing on our brains. ---

Partenogenesis Jesus? Makes sense. 😆 That’s a good take on that one. ---

Nowadays when people talk about Fat Al it is hard to know whether they are talking about rotund Albert, high BMI Alphons, or bloated LLMs. ---

AI video slop sign: A small “Sora” logo somewhere in the video. The company Sora is selling itself as the AI TikTok. ---

Do you mean to say that artificial intelligence is able to mimic Boris’ idiotic antics _that_ well? That the video was a fake? ---

No difference, but it worries me that I believed it. And no, I am not going to watch it again to try to work out whether you are writing in jest. The video is about Boris 🤮 Johnson. ---

At this point, the slicker the video, the more likely to be AI is my take. Badly focused, prime subject poor framed, etc.? More likely to be amateur reality. ---

Amateur Reality is the worst. I mean, at least Professional Reality is able to profit off’n your misery. Granted, it uses those profits to develop new ways to make you even more miserable, but at least it is not just abusing you in some sort of _for-the-common-good_ Socialistical way. ---

At this point I’m willing to try almost any reality other than this one. ---
