I digitised our family photos but a lot of them were damaged (shifted colours, spills, fingerprints on film, spots) that are difficult to correct for so many images. I've been waiting for image gen to catch up enough to be able to repair them all in bulk without changing details, especially faces. This looks very good at restoring images without altering details or adding them where they are missing, so it might finally be time.

when giving more context it replied: """ Unfortunately, I can't generate images of people. My purpose is to be helpful and harmless, and creating realistic images of humans can be misused in ways that are harmful. This is a safety policy that helps prevent the generation of deepfakes, non-consensual imagery, and other problematic content.

What a weird rejection. You have to scroll pretty far in the article to see an example output that doesn't have a realistic depiction of a person.
It's unfortunate they can't just explain the real reason they don't want to generate the image:
"Unfortunately I'm not able to generate images that might cause bad PR for Alphabet(tm) or subsidiaries. Is there anything else I can generate for you?"

Please pardon me since I don't know if this is satirical or not. I'd wish if you could clarify it. Because if this is real, then the world is cooked if not, then the fact that I think that It might be real but the only reason I believe its a joke is because you are on hackernews so I think that either you are joking or the tech has gotten so convincing that even people on hackernews (which I hold to a fair standard)…
I guess it was something like [0] The Nigerian prince is now a deep fake Elon but the concept is the same. You need to send some money to get way more back. [0]: https://www.ncsc.admin.ch/ncsc/en/home/aktuell/im-fokus/2023...
hm, but isn't it wild thinking that elon is talking to you and asking you for 15k , like bro has the money of his lifetime, why would he ask you?
It doesn't make that much sense idk

Not to victim-shame or anything, but that sounds more like more than one safety mechanism failed, the convincing tech only being a rather small part of it?
I think the biggest failure is on the part of the companies hosting these streams.
Its been a while, but I remember seeing streams for Elon offering to "double your bitcoin" and the reasoning was he wanted to increase the adoption and load test the network. Just send some bitcoin to some address and he will send it back double!
But the thing was it was on youtube. Hosted on an imposter Tesla page. The stream had been going on for hours and had over ten thousand people watching live. If you searched "Elon Musk Bitcoin" During the stream on Google, Google actually pushed that video as the first result.
Say what you want about the victims of the scam, but I think it should be pretty easy for youtube or other streaming companies to have a simple rule to simply filter all live streams with Elon Musk + (Crypto|BTC|etc) in the title and be able to filter all youtube pages with "Tesla" "SpaceX" etc in the title.

#66This model is very impressive. Yesterday (as nano-banana) I gave it a photo of an indoor scene with a picture hanging on a wall, and asked it the picture on a wall with a copy of the whole photo. It worked perfectly the first time.
It didn't succeed in doing the same recursively, but it's still clearly a huge advance in image models.

#68If this can do character consistency, that's huge. Just make it do the same for video...
It's probably built on reused "secret sauce" from the video generation models.
Re: Gemini 2.5 Flash Image
#69Very impressive. I have to say while I'm deeply impressed by these text to image models, there's a part of me that's also wary of their impact. Just look at the comments beneath the average Facebook post.
I have been testing google's SynthID for images and while it isn't perfect, it is very good, insofar that I felt some relief from that same creeping dread over what these images will do to perceived reality.
It survives a lot of transformation like compression, cropping, and resizing. It even survives over alterations like color filtering and overpainting.

I feel like somehow that would lessen it, but not really help much? There are obviously people with too much money in BTC who are trying to take any gamble to increase its value. It sounds like a deeper societal issue.
