AI generated audio over video legitimately worries me and disinformation as an industry is at the cutting edge of this stuff There's a video in the US that appears to show a US Marine saying bring back Donald Trump to Joe Biden on a stage but Snopes found that the original video never had such a thing occur and the whole thing was ai edited lip syncing and voice reproduction over the actual voice and video and it's gone through American social media like 30 million times and you wouldn't know it was fake unless you had a factchecker bookmarked or something. That is scary as hell to democracy and society as a whole.

yeah ai is demolishing the integrity of video/audio evidence to further the aims of bad actors that want to spread misinformation in an age where misinformation was already rampant but also it allows us to make great meme videos of tumblr copypasta so whos to say if its bad or not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_ktnQAC3TQ

Captain Theron posted:Immigration is good and a boon to our economy that helps everyone. It's only impacting housing and infrastructure due to decades of mismanagement. We have plenty of space in Australia, and we produce far more food than we need domestically. We need to be far more proactive about increasing density in our existing cities and we should be encouraging growth in regional centres, including ensuring well paying work and social services. The issue is water. We've been lucky lately but water is not a plentiful resource for 95% of the country and is highly drought-prone. Studies I've seen is 35 million is the cap for having any real margin for water resources and if anything places like Sydney are arguably not that far off not having enough water to make it through a drought even with de-sal Also most of the space is in reality real hostile to humans with poo poo soil. Your only real areas for decent population remains the SE seaboard - which also happens to be the best farmland and the only place with half decent rainfall. All comes down to water and your options there are either hideously expensive/impractical or enviromentally destructive.

Non Compos Mentis posted:isnt the de sal plant in north sydney hosed in some way because its hardly been used? I believe so, yeah. We half heatedly built a few in the previous drought but by the time they were brought online they weren't needed, and powering them through the existing power grid is hideously expensive so they were basically immediately shuttered. It's a good thing we'll never have a drought again, hey?

freebooter posted:On another note: what is everybody's opinion on immigration levels, particularly as it pertains to the housing crisis? I noticed Albanese's "crackdown" announcement came and went without comment. Higher population means either more urban sprawl or increased population density, more money needing to be spent on infrastructure that has already barely meets existing need, and I am not convinced of much of the economic arguments for it. It does make the headline GDP figures look better but GDP per capita is either stagnant or declining. It’s also an equality and quality of life issue. The people calling for higher immigration levels are very seldom the lower income earners who are going to be expected to live in high density housing, put up with long commutes and are unlikely to afford big trips into the countryside to get away from the crowds.
