A mayor comes with a crazy idea and people hate it: (1/10) #verification #ai What's needed to create this fake uproar in 28 minutes? Access to Google's Veo3.

Volgograd Oil Refinery is bombarded by Ukraine. Actual footage generated by ….. #AI based on just one picture (2) I gave it and the prompt “add explosions” #verification #geolocation #fakenews via It’s not that easy to detect that this is a fake video (1/2)vidu.studio Sharpness: The lowest sharpness is 4.76, which is a very low value. This suggests some frames may have been smoothed or blurred, possibly as a result of manipulation or Al generation. Natural textures may have been lost in these frames.
Texture Changes: The variation between the highest (597.85) and lowest (166.14) gradient magnitudes indicates some frames have significantly less texture, further supporting the possibility of manipulation.

Need your expertise here! ChatGPT's knowledge only stretches till Sep 2021. I am on a new mission now. 🕵️‍♀️🔍 I want to unearth what, if any, sensitive data is still in the LLM but not on the web anymore right now. Can you lend a hand in this quest? ? 🙏💡 Together, let's ensure… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… One way to deal with this would be that you look into Wikipedia edits : is there any information removed from a page that still is in LLM? Other idea is: did in your country a judge ordered a website to retract something? Can you check if it is still in ChatGPT?

The potential compliance issues with upcoming "AI regulations" in Europe could be a concern for large language models like Google Bard. These proposed regulations are still in a nebulous stage and have not been enacted into law. The European Union's perspective is that AI should… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

My upcoming newsletter emphasizes the importance of #ChatGPT in open source intelligence and research. #ChatGPT 4.0 accurately identified me through the "analyze (link)". Its ability to analyze photos from WordPress sites seems to be remarkable. #AI #Research #OpenSource (1/4) twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image But you do have to keep in mind that the outcome completely depends on what you did earlier in the chat.
