A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

The more things change
The more they stay the same.

1. no.

Now we have Nazis & ICE stalking, killing Peaceful Protestors & American Citizens, too. In a pretext to look for immigrants.

2. Porter Good and Pretti.

3. Ohh No! They ae so beautiful!

I didn't know much about Keith Porter Jr., 43.. TY for saying his name, she.

I just did a search. We can imagine how their family, friends, and anyone with a heart feels... I know how I feel right now just reading about it.

Some day There Must Be Justice.. sometimes it takes a Damn Long Time.

4. So beautiful and now forever young.

I had to look up Porter as well, Cha.

Tears.

5. Psst

Those pictures appear to be AI hallucinations. Real images:

6. Thanks, EarlG! I was just about to point that out. The Threads post below shows the collage of their

photos that's apparently used most often. I didn't see that AI version sheshe2 posted when I searched.

8. Artificial intelligence is the antithesis of reality. Thanks for reminding us EarlG.

9. No Grasshopper, it is not

It is a catalyst, an essence of all that the Situationists pointed out long ago.

The bear is out of the cave. Learn to ride the bear, or be eaten.

10. It's badly flawed tech based on theft. And it's the antithesis of reality, as George said.

[Layzeebeaver]

18. It may be an antithesis, but it still is a thing

You can't just discount something because you disagree with it

we need a strategy that works against it.

I've yet to see such a thing

13. People have been known to shoot and kill bears, to keep the metaphor.

[Layzeebeaver]

17. you can attack the metaphor but you still have to address the truth

[ColoringFool]

19. Since when was my post an "attack"? It was, in fact, a continuation, meaning.....

MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, WE CAN STOP THE RAPID CONSTRUCTION PACE OF AI, SUCH AS IN UTAH.

11. As a 1st grade teacher ""Everything Changes,Nothing Stays The Same"

was a story in the curriculum and I always hated it since I KNEW that some things DO stay the same! Sure, seasons change, things and beings grow, etc. but I felt like I was lying to my 6 year old's. The moronic American voter never changes (at least in my lifetime). The ability to choose and destroy other humans for any reason never changes. Hatred, greed, violence between humans never changes. Choosing to elect leaders against your own best interests never changes. Goodness, justice, fairness, equality will never last for very long....that definitely never changes. I am a misanthrope and a realist.

12. Striking photos, sheshe2. It's heartbreaking. The MLK Jr photo is from 1958, though. Famous photo

that the New Yorker had an artist recreate for a cover 4 years ago: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cover-story/cover-story-2022-01-17

14. PS Back to the OP.. I searched and learned

How to copy/paste Blue Sky Reposts without an account, she..

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

Never know when it might help out.

Mahalo!! 💔 💙 ☮️ 🌻🕯️🕊️💜

15. Wrong date, colorized photo, made-up images of real people...quite a bit of misinfo in this thread.

[highplainsdem]

16. There's so much misinformation circulating in internet memes. I saw social media posts of that and

similar memes with both the correct (1958) and incorrect (1964) date for the MLK photo.

As for the AI not-images of Porter, Good and Pretti...I'm guessing that AI collage supposedly of them has been circulating on social media for a while, though I didn't see it when I searched Google Images for their last names in that order. Google's been trying hard to keep AI fake photos out of Google Images, though. Someone might've just asked an image generator to generate that collage, assuming AI would provide real photos (ha). I posted a thread in LBN recently about Trump's Secretary of Education posting AI-generated fake photos of real people. And there's a small chance that AI user, whoever it was, thought it would be a good thing to create an idealized central-casting AI version of them, and didn't realize that was in no way appropriate or fair to them.
