I suppose that's probably tied for the most threatening thing against ICE he's seen, but that's because nothing particularly threatening has been done at all. So, technically the truth?

So a fan of squirting?

You think "people" somehow doesn't sound human?

Thing is any choice would have triggered, the reaction was a given no matter the text

As written "what, Palestinians aren't families?"

Swap it around "by singling out gazan families, are you trying to exclude and and by inference saying those without a family deserve it?

Use the same term for both? Are you trying to say the suffering for Gaza is the same as Israel?

For me it felt like the exact opposite of your take.

The people of Gaza is everyone in Gaza.

"Israeli families" feels more limited.

This is just lemmy.ml in a nutshell, the most insane takes. Whenever I see something this far off the deep end, it's a near certainty that lemmy.ml is at it again.

Those metrics aren't any more trustworthy than their own subjective word anyway. If they wanted to say they took more time then they could delay at their whim anyway. If they said their production costs increased, then again, they could spend the money to fit the narrative. On those particular points objective evidence is so susceptible to being gamed that it isn't really more valuable than their subjective reporting.

Numbers of subscribers/views could be a bit more informative, but then people inclined to disbelieve would claim it's because of any number of other reasons not because of AI slop.

Killing in this case sounds like the content is becoming harder and harder to create, which they lay out the subjective case for, but that wouldn't be exactly something they could use figures to present, since it's so subjective.

The one point they might have been able to show with numbers would be the emergence of AI slop 'infotainment animations' diluting the audience, but that wasn't exactly the biggest point of the video and it might be a bit early to be able to demonstrate statistically credible evidence on that one.

Also, presuming they are sincere and put in all that effort, they are competing with other sources that have no such discipline and they are able to flood the field and grab eyeballs faster than they could.

It's so fun when it's so specific about some detail with casual confidence that is based on absolutely nothing at all. I know ultimately it's architecture is more akin to a predictive word generator, but it seems so much better.

Saw a clear demonstration and it is wild that the output is consistent, but at least in the model I saw being run, every word is generated without it having considered what the word after would be or what the general concept it is going for. For a human one has to already know the concept before he/she starts putting words to it, but at least the models I've seen explained with detail, it manages to assemble it word by word without knowing where it is trying to go in advance.

I'm a bit torn on this reporting...

On the one hand I'm totally with them on using this as a cautionary tale about vaccine hesitancy and how the administration policies dangerously exacerbate that phenomenon, and a rough indicator of what the consequences may look like.

On the other hand, the headline makes it sound like the Florida rollback has caused this, but that isn't strictly true because:

  • The Florida rollback hasn't happened yet
  • The rollback doesn't include whooping cough (pertussis):

All other vaccinations required under Florida law to attend school “remain in place, unless updated through legislation,” including vaccines for measles, polio, diphtheria, pertussis, mumps and tetanus, the department said.

It's a tricky case...

Like you say, this a) predates the Trump admin and b) so far TDAP is still required to be in school even in Florida even after the upcoming set of dropped vaccine mandates, so even this disease isn't the result nor wouldn't be the result of even Florida's aggressively lax vaccinne policies.

On the other hand, this shows how far out of hand things can get even without the government dropping mandates and actively restricting vaccinnes and stoking more vaccine hesitancy.

You are right that it wouldn't fix things by itself, but it certainly greatly exacerbates the severity having the people in power aligned with vaccine hesitancy.
