In Russia they have passed a law some time ago that you can never post dead children faces in any mass media (so they pixelate or draw over). I was thinking that it is most stupid law, but now I don't. Oh boy how right these lawmakers were in light of this new development.

Agree. I think every camera manufacturer should implement auto blur on photos (legislate it). Then an opt-in system unblurs the faces of the people that approve. (Or just replace the faces with AI random faces instead of blur) Point being, society has fallen into an opt-out system naturally - But I don't think there is good reason for it to be a necessary thing for the common good. I want privacy, and the tech is the…

fwiw, some facial recognition systems, especially ones coming out of Asia where masks are far more common, are pretty good at identifying people with masks on.

So I can use AI to recreate Shirley Temple but only because she wasn't murdered?

The decision is out of sensitivity for the victim’s family, and the examples are videos recreating the events of their murder. I think you’ll be fine recreating Shirley Temple…

That’s uh - that’s just straight up censorship though.

Like I get that it’s a gross practice that can be used exploitatively, but… using AI to create media that depicts a murdered child telling the story of their own death is a compelling work of art.

Black Mirror covered re-animation of loved ones via AI & robotics: Be Right Back Black Mirror: Season 2, Episode 1

There's also a great Adult Swim Infomercial satirizing this idea, "Live Forever As you Are Now with Alan Resnick"[1]. Apparently it came out the same year as that Black Mirror episode (2013) ! [I] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xg29TuWo0Yo

I think Inside No. 9 also had an episode on this theme. It’s a seriously underrated show and practically unknown. It sort of occupies a middle ground between Black Mirror’s dark satire and Resnick’s absurdist realism, now that I think of it.

An elastomeric respirator worn with a hood (on the outside, don't break the seal) and dark sunglasses might work well enough in the US. Need to do something about gait though.

If you want to see a true crime, try that website on a phone without an ad blocker. Screen-sized ad after every sentence or two.

And I would hate to see the total payload of the page too for those running with 5GB/month limits on their data.

Try Chrome’s new Happy Fun Interest Cohorts feature to make sure that all your ads are served through Google’s ad services networks and approved partners. It won’t reduce your bandwidth but it will make browsing the web so much more fun and satisfying!

A content policy is censorship?
