It's called a printer.
Despite the #ArtificalIntelligence hashtag, this machine is essentially a big printer with a computer using a "make this photo look painterly" filter. It's not making anything up.

It's cool, but it's not AI.
It does use face detecting software to know what's the person and what's the background. I'm not sure if that counts as AI, and in any case, that's nothing unique to this robot.

The artists here are Rob and Nick Carter, who created the machine.

What @AbigailShrier says here about current-day censorship encapsulates what's terribly wrong with most of our free-speech-advocate pundits and journalists.

She's talking about Amazon, which sells her book, not accepting ads for it, and various places not reviewing it. Quote says: "This is what censorship looks like in 21st
Contrary to what @AbigailShrier thinks, censorship in 21st-century America often IS the government sending police to people's homes.

It's just that people who are censored - the most harmed victims of censorship - aren't people Shrier or her peers pay much attention to.
Shrier's not paying attention to victims in marginalized groups - undocumented immigrants, prisoners, sex workers - who are censored, not by Amazon not carrying an ad, but by armed government agents.

Some examples of how @DeanBrowningPA used his "black gay guy" sock puppet account to post racism and misogyny. Image
More of "Dan Purdy's" nitwit and wisdom. ImageImage
Oh, this one is really something. Image

Dean, print this out and tape it above your keyboard.

1. Log out of twitter.
2. Log into your puppet twitter account.
3. THEN post as "black gay guy who loves Trump."

Just read that print-out next time you get confused.

(Alternative plan:

1. Log out of twitter.

That's it.)
Whoops! Dean deleted it.

Fortunately, it's been preserved for our enjoyment and edification. Image
So, @DeanBrowningPA, couple questions.

1) Your bio says that you like to enact comment-sense solutions to Keep America Great. Is pretending to be a Black gay man on the internet one of those common-sense solutions?

I got my ballot in the mail today. And that means - time to vote! Time to go through the whole ballot and figure out who I want to be Circuit Court judge (4th district position 12), who should be the east soil & water director-at-large 2, and many other exciting races!

(Thread!)
And before anyone asks, yes it is legal to take photos of your ballot in the state of Oregon.
The Federal offices come first.

For president, I'm voting for Biden. I don't have to - Oregon is a safe state, so I could vote third party - but I'm hoping Biden's popular vote win will be enormous, and taken as a repudiation of what the GOP has become.

David French's thread defending the anti-lgbt Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) is nonsensical and illogical.

He's angry that people call ADF "hateful." But he never addresses or even acknowledges the arguments for ADF being a hate group, choosing to focus on irrelevancies instead.
For example, he says the ADF signed on to a brief against Qualified Immunity, and that's a good thing, therefore the ADF can't be "hateful."

It is a good thing! But doing a good thing in one area doesn't preclude a person or org from being hateful in other areas.
Signing on to a good ACLU brief doesn't magically make ADF's support of laws outlawing gay sex un-hateful.

(If I purposely kick a puppy on my way to volunteering at the food bank, does my good deed making the puppy-kicking excusable? Of course not.)

A thread.

Here's the thing about "cancel culture."

You can either treat it as if it's a unique threat coming from the SJ left.

Or you can actually take a stand about the problem, in a fair way that holds everyone to similar standards.

But you can't do both.
Is there a problem on the left of some people being too dogmatic and lacking in mercy or a sense of proportion? And that sometimes manifests in angries on the internet overreacting and people getting fired? And this can chill speech and make some people fearful of dissent?

Yes!
Is that problem unique to the left? Hell no.
