since english isn’t my first language, i have one specific english voice in my head, and one in my own language. Which is cool and all, i can usually switch between them pretty easily, but there’s a problem:

if i watch an american tv show the voice is american. (it’s usually american, cause there’s just so much american content) If i watch a british tv shows it will start to change to a more british accent, but this gal had to go and watch an Australian show. so now i have a stupid mix of australian and american in my head as i type these words.

People: The French will never switch to English to speak to an American

French Amazon customer support @Me during a live chat about an issue I had with my recent purchase that’s a bit beyond my ability to explain comprehensively in written French:  Merci pour votre message. Vous parlez anglais? I will try to speak English.

Me: Merci beaucoup pour votre sympathique assistance.

Enjoy the pseudo nationalist fascism while it lasts. It's about to get way way worse.

How AI-generated deepfakes threaten the 2024 election

It may be the narrative around deepfakes -- rather than the deepfakes themselves -- that most undermines election integrity.

Of course the right wing hate is using deep fakes to encouraging left wing voters to not vote. And the fucking legislation some states are working on might as well just be pro deep fake usage in elections.

People are obviously too innately gullible and generally ignorant to handle social media as it already is. We love to laugh at boomers and how stupid they are with recognizing lies and bullshit but my Gen Y friends can't tell bullshit from real off of conspiracy tiktok.

We're in trouble.
