"NOW, gentlemen...HUSTLE!" The dweeby little hipster sounds like a six-six Hell's Angel named Tiny, as the criminals skedaddle. Easy to talk tough from behind a keyboard. <br /><br />Anyone who tries that in Real Life had better be armed, or they will find themselves beaten to a pulp at the very least, if not carved up or ventilated. Most of the lowlifes who steal for a living also carry weapons. <br /><br />Just something about that dude rubs me the wrong way, and I usually end up cussing him out when I see him on the screen, and saying the same things I just said here.Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-88515457444283977332019-08-29T09:52:46.348-05:002019-08-29T09:52:46.348-05:00It's a good photo.

The ...What I find scary are those deep fake videos. The Steve Buscemi/Jennifer Lawrence one is mainly creepy, and the Bill Hader/Tom Cruise-Seth Rogan one is kind of cool, but as Tate says, the portents are a bit ominous.

If moviemakers can make the image of a real lion talk, they certainly will be able to display the image of a human being saying whatever the imagemaker wants it to say. Right now a skilled programmer with the latest tools could manipulate a video of President Trump to make it seem that he was saying something sensible, but the manipulation would be detectable, at least by another skilled computer expert. The day is fast approaching when such will be easy and very hard to detect. Hitherto foolproof video evidence will be worthless and whatever trust we now have in the veracity of the images and speech shown on television will disappear.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-53630595943239969222019-08-29T08:07:24.873-05:002019-08-29T08:07:24.873-05:00On this issue I'm torn.

When I first noticed the ability to add your photo in various job and career websites, it seemed to provide a mechanism for people and employers to screen out undesired racial groups. Haven't heard any stories about this being the case. At least a few cases my photo in social media websites for groups and hobbies, allowed me to be recognized and also enabled me to identify people by sight, before introducing myself.Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157600812959885192noreply@blogger.com
