Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Whatever your thoughts on electoral politics are, this shit right here is such a terrifying prospect for the future...
No one is taking credit, but we all know which party they're part of. Where is Roger Stone?
Not where he should be: prison.
His head should be adorning a spike atop a parapet somewhere.
His weirdly shaped head
That's an odd way to spell "melting quietly in an oil drum", but sure.
I’d stick him in a drum of “Turpentine, acetone, benzene. [Judge Doom] calls it the dip.”
Judge Doom wouldn't put himself, voluntarily, in the dip.
Judge Doom is what happens when you bip around in history like a hare-brained child with no regard for multi-universal consequences and the strain it takes on the squishy human psyche. Apparently, the loss of his dearest Clara and their children was enough to make the ol' Doc snap right to his core.
That’s the fucked up part: they’ll be decried as ”lone wolves”, and, as such, no care will be given in investigation nor pursuit. Each and every time. Nor to the aggregate effect of the countless “love wolves” who are never pursued, nor the fascist, terrorist packs they will obviously, inevitably form because they were ignored, alone, fed a diet of Trump and YouTube, and Alex jones, and Xitter…
But that’s the point.
I'm not sure if AI is going to revolutionize anything good, but it's certainly going to revolutionize election interference.
That, misinformation/propaganda, scam calls, etc. Shits gonna get wild real quick here soon, and I don't think we as a species are remotely prepared for it.
I am fooled by imageai posts about 80% of the time. I don’t know how to not be, but it just makes me distrustful of everything
It already has. But unfortunately the news is not in the business of reporting the news. It is in the business of advertising and engagement. And sensationalist/bad News drives engagement.
luckily deep fake audio still sounds fake...
however, im pretty sure this is real

Even if it didn't sound fake, you'd think common sense would preveil. Why would the president robo call you telling them not to vote for them.
My favourite quote attributed to Winston Churchill that he never said is:
The average voter went to public school, which is directly manipulated by the entire ruling elite to keep them in power and feed the war machine. Education has very little to do with any of that.
Are private schools less manipulated?
I'm sorry, are you whatabouting this? Seriously?
.... You do realize that a significant part of the nation can't even read out a sixth grader level right?
And that doesn't refer to only how well they read words that refers to their critical thinking and their comprehension of what they have read.
These are the target audience.
It sounds like they’re talking exclusively from the front of the mouth. I used to talk like that when I was trying to conceal a tongue ring. I wonder why that is?
Linguistics nerd stuff below: American English is spoken from the front of the mouth compared to lots of other languages (not this far forward, but still). I wonder if AI voices speaking Arabic would move Arabic forward by the same amount, all the way to the front, or further back (no human anatomy restrictions on AI voices).
Basically, I wonder if this is a consistent artifact of AI voices or whether AI is just exaggerating unique features of a language.
Edit: I found this, which sounds natural enough that I wouldn’t have thought anything of it (aside from the cuts and the actual things said), had I not been watching out for front of the mouth talk
Goddamn. This is a depressing time.
