Oh, they're finally getting around to finishing that anime.

The post from two years ago appeared again.

Now, random posts from a week ago going on about how the "election showdown" is coming are appearing.

A random post from two years ago appeared in my feed.

It's remarkably hard to find something I was just looking at shortly prior on this home feed.

It's honestly annoying when someone uses "AI generation" as a synonym for "deepfake" because these are *not* the same things.

The same applies to the "non-consensual" point. If someone is investigating the use of some "deepfake" tool, that is different from an "AI generation tool".

The "source" is a "report" from *2019* (from a British org) which doesn't look into AI generated content, it looks at content branded as being "deepfakes".

"Over 90% of AI-generated images are sexually explicit"
This is pretty much bullshit. This is easily debunkable just by looking at the sheer amount of content on the Internet which is *not*.

The E.U.'s "Big Tech" "transparency" database has so little context in it that I wonder how useful it is to anyone.

A fur suit sounds like a magic artefact that'll turn someone into a humanoid furry creature.

Someone said the bot instance (not the sort of bot which goes bothering other people) was shutting down but it doesn't look like it has.

Also, past these points (which actually come from others), they really should have been planning a different candidate a couple of years prior.

That was even what they said they would do, that he would be a one term transitory president. In the end, they left it to the last minute to shove in a candidate who no one really liked.

How is the state of journalism? How about local journalism? How are parties marketing themselves? How is activism at the grassroots?

Also, like when I suggested RCV (ranked choice voting), some problems are more in the electoral system. FPTP sucks. How easy is it for someone to cast a ballot?
