PT6A posted:I bet a lot of these people, even if not "gay" in the traditional sense, have fantasies about dominating other men sexually. They'd never have a gay relationship or "make love" to a man, but only get off on the idea of making another man assume the "weak/feminine" role. Closet case projecting says what? Also Scaramucci also follows the chapo trap house guys. He follows everyone, it doesn't mean anything Also I really loving loathe "the Mooch" as a nickname Also it's really unclear to me why he sold skybridge before joining the administration. Does he think that's necessarily in this admin for some reason?

PT6A posted:So, I've seen on Twitter that apparently McCain's gambit was the only way to get the one attempt at a reconciliation bill to the floor and then kill it dead, preventing an attempt to come up with something else and force it through (at least until the next fiscal year, and then at the cost of not having reconciliation available for another piece of legislation). Is that true, or just what McCain apologists like Ana Navarro are saying? Depends on if you believe there's some mystic Plan G that McConnell could have whipped up on the fly to pick off Murkowski without loosing one or more of the rancid ghouls. It was however the only way to surprise gently caress Trump and McConnell at the same time on live TV though.

I don't know, but if this was the only way to kill it dead until at least the next fiscal year, I think it was a good thing regardless if turtleman had been able to cobble something together or not. You lock your door when you leave your house, right? How many people do you think have ever tried your locked door with ill intent? Possibly none. But you don't want to leave that poo poo to chance.

He was probably trying to endear himself to anyone who’d listen. I’m not sure if the divorce reports are true, but the story there is that his wife left him because of his Trump obsession. So his actions don’t have to make sense. And apparently Trump thought the one thing his administration was lacking was more unprofessional bullies. #swamp

Yeah it seems like they trained a neural network to generate mouth shapes in response to sound and then had to manually edit them in in the video. It is probably only possible with Obama/major public figures who give addresses/newscasters etc. because you'd probably need a lot of footage of the same person speaking in more or less the same position to train the network. Not really apocalyptic technology edit: well I mean I guess major public figures and newscasters are the ones you don't want to have fake videos of but don't worry they'll look fake for years to come edit edit: http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/AudioToObama/ this is what I was talking about not that bad radiolab one Casey Finnigan fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Jul 29, 2017 |

Not really apocalyptic technology Yeah, but in the episode they make the point that in the pussy-grabbing video you don't actually see Trump until the very end. The point leading up the that was all just audio, which could be faked much more convincingly. And any idiot could do this since it just takes feeding 20-40 minutes of the person speaking, then typing in a script that you want that person to say. There's lots of ways this could be used and there are tons of people who'd believe it. It can also be done live with just the audio where you speak and it converts it into another person's voice. I could imagine someone calling into a talk radio show pretending to be a senator or something. You could easily create a "phone recording" of Hillary and some Russian discussing collusion or a "hot mic" video where you don't see the person's lips or just see them from a distance. Just look at Snopes fauxtography section to see how low the bar is for people to believe even the most obvious fakes. And imagine when this sort of thing is widely used and known about. Trump could have just said "Fake news, I never said that" and that would be good enough for a large portion of the country.

not surprisingly the infowars crowd is declaring a grand victory over the firing of Reince Priebus, pretty much the only guy in the Whitehouse who had a loving clue. I'm not all that familiar with the structure of the executive branch in the states, isn't the Chief of Staff the dude who is supposed to be beating the drum that everyone dances to? rounding up everyone the president needs to consult, arranging to get the poo poo done the way the president wants it. Herding cats and all. If Trump wasn't getting anything done before, I don't see how replacing Priebus with some amateur hour general who's used to the military system where everyone does what they are told by their boss without question is going to help things.

Is that true, or just what McCain apologists like Ana Navarro are saying? No, it wasn't 3d chess. He voted for a worse bill on Tuesday, and it wasn't expected that McConnell would actually call the vote when he didn't have the votes to pass it.

Malachi Constant posted:Yeah, but in the episode they make the point that in the pussy-grabbing video you don't actually see Trump until the very end. The point leading up the that was all just audio, which could be faked much more convincingly. As an optimist when it comes to tech I think that if we get to the point where we have software that can convincingly generate false audio and video, we'll certainly have software that can detect false audio and video, even if it could be convincing to the average listener. I also think that, when this sort of thing is widely used the main consequence will be devaluing video and audio as evidence, since right now the difficulty of falsifying those things is what makes them significant. That'll suck but I think it's kind of the price to pay for technological advancement. Plus I bet that the time until we can get legitimately, really, truly convincing fake footage is further in the future than you might expect. I'm saying this since even today you can usually tell even a really excellent photoshop when you see one. I haven't listened to the episode of radiolab or read the paper where they explain the audio to obama software (just worked with something similar once) and I can't really predict the future so it's all just out-of-my-rear end conjecture but that's just my view and why I'm not particularly worried about it. I really think it'll be down to relying on the accounts of people who have built reputations for trustworthiness in the media, which is what I do now anyway. edit: I just noticed you addressed the point of devaluing evidence with Trump being able to say "fake news" to any damaging tapes. But I mean he does that now and his base still buys it and Fox News still backs him up on it. Just seems like there's already so much garbage and bullshit in the media ecosystem that this kind of software won't really change that much. Like that ACORN "pimp" video that James O'Keefe made was totally, truly, fooling-nobody fake but the narrative got pushed in the propaganda outlets and it ended up having just as much of an impact.

Boris Galerkin posted:So? Are you implying there's something wrong with gay people or something wrong with pornstars? The trope is for married Republican men to be publicly anti-gay, only to be discovered in a gas station bathroom playing the meat flute. Doesn't quite work in this case because Scaramucci is openly pro-gay rights, and Trump threw the whole "sanctity of marriage in the GOP" thing out the window. Potentially, Scaramucci might have just re-followed these guys when they followed him, which is a pretty common practice for people on Twitter that like large follow counts. Some even have bots that auto-re-follow. Theoretically these guys could have followed him, waited for the re-follow, then un-followed so they could make a funny screenshot. I'd want to believe he actually follows these people for his own interest because lol $85M net worth dudes wanting to follow tweets from porn stars. e: ekeog posted:Apparently people believe that 'the Mooch' has purposefully pressed the follow button on twitter one hundred and sixty-eight thousand (168,000) times, therefore his follows speak to his deepest psychosexual desires.
