Fascinating. Thanks for sharing! I've been made aware that it treats masculine features differently but this was a brilliant test of that.

@ben According to the young people in the videos they themselves are surprised. They are surprised by the lack of glitches and artifacts, and the fact that they can cover half of their face with a mug and the filter is unchanged.
You're saying this level of quality has been going on for years?
Sometimes I reflect on how social media strategists kept telling brands to be more "genuine" online. And how that made everything less genuine.

Welcome to post-reality.
Yes, it scares me too.

HÄller med. Det Àr nÄgon form av grÀns som passerats. Jag blev helt hÀpen nÀr jag sÄg det första gÄngen.
SvÄrt att förhÄlla sig till.
I don't think everyone is aware of just how far the TikTok filters have come when it comes to changing people's appearance in real-time, with no latency and no visual artifacts.
I've compiled two videos showcasing the new beauty filter and the teen filter, if you're curious:

I wouldntâ say Iâm risk averse
but arenât things just much much worse
when that smart thing in your purse
is a megaphone for vicious slurs
as if that is how we define diverse
now asking me to deep-immerse
and I cannot find reverse
need to power through the curse
as no oneâs left to reimburse
now this chariot may be a hearse
fuelled forward by a truth-disperse.
This has been my meta verse.
Goodbye Dickinson, hello AI-generated literature
This is a write-up I did after @chrisnoessel informed me that @clarkesworld had paused taking submissions last week.
The reason being too many AI-generated stories were being submitted.

â ïž Adjö Dickinson, hallĂ„ AI-genererad litteratur
Samma hyllade AI-verktyg som sparar tid Ät en grupp mÀnniskor kommer stjÀla mycket tid och skapa mycket huvudvÀrk för andra. Verktygen tvingar bland annat att vi ritar om kartan för hur litterÀra verk publiceras. Vi stÄr inför en lavinartad ökning av böcker skrivna av maskiner, och redan nu har redaktörer tvingats pausa inlÀmningar av nya verk för att försöka hitta en hanterbar vÀg framÄt.
I nulÀget experimenterar mÄnga mÀnniskor med att anvÀnda ChatGPT och liknande verktyg för att skriva allt ifrÄn romaner till scifi-noveller och barnböcker, komplett med illustrationer frÄn andra generativa verktyg online.
För den som hyser författardrömmar gÄr det att att pÄ mindre Àn ett dygn framstÀlla en fÀrdig e-bok och publicera den pÄ Amazon.
Du kan bokstavligen bli författare över en natt.

@bagger NĂ€r du boostar sĂ„ dyker det upp i Federated Timeline för alla som Ă€r pĂ„ samma instans som du (mastodon.nu). SĂ„ det fĂ„r absolut mer effekt Ă€n du kanske först tror. đ
@silviamaggi Thank you for the shoutout Silvia. đ

Men vad Ă€nda in iâŠ!?
Hur kan detta anses vara okej pÄ ett sÀtt sÄ att designern nÀstan Àr stolt över det. Jag blir helt hÀpen. Ur ett tillgÀnglighets-perspektiv Àr det förstÄs förkastligt.

@steveportigal Itâs just me reading blog posts đ
I started my first podcast in the spring of 2007, not long before the first iPhone was released to the world. Back then the origin of the word podcast was more obvious, as dedicated producers and consumers of course listened on Apple's groundbreaking mp3 player, the iPod.
After spending a small fortune on microphones over the past 16 years, interviewing wonderful people across the world, and receiving attention I often have a hard time reckoning with (the 11-year old UX Podcast has recently surpassed 2.5 million downloads), I'm now releasing my fifth(!) #podcast.

@Kay Thanks, yes I've been following @molly0xfff for a while and saw her latest talk at Web Summit. Brilliant.
@Kay Thank you Kay! This is a great start. Have seen a great deal on blockchains but will definitely check these out as potential sources.
Also been reading up on "dark data" (not the greatest name) and am becoming worryingly aware of for example taking multiple photos of the same subject and just letting those photos rest on my device, copied onto cloud servers, to be hosted by electrically powered data centers for all foreseeable future never to be used again.
Multiplied by a few billion devices...
