On the trail of deepfakes, Drexel researchers identify ‘fingerprints’ of AI-generated video
"The lab’s tools use a sophisticated machine learning program called a constrained neural network. This algorithm can learn, in ways similar to the human brain, what is “normal” and what is “unusual” at the sub-pixel level of images and videos, rather than searching for specific predetermined identifiers of manipulation from the outset."

How to DESTROY Anyone in an Argument
"Philosophers are often thought of as truth-seekers, but often people are more interested in the mucky world of simple debate, and there is a sardonic, sarcastic essay by Schopenhauer that can help us out here - "On the Art of Being Right". In here he compiles a series of tactics used (often highly dishonestly) to secure victory in an argument even when one is misinformed, or just downright wrong."
The Kaiser's Nazi Funeral
"He gave express instructions that his funeral was not to include Nazi symbolism, as he had been a vocal critic of Hitler and particularly his anti-semitic policies. But, the Nazis ignored the Kaiser's wishes and he was given a funeral containing a lot of NSDAP symbolism. It was a final insult from Hitler, who despised the Kaiser and all he stood for."
