I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out
This shit just writes itself at this point. Just the name "Epic AI MegaJam" is a joke that best describes what is going on with these companies.

Albanian PM claims these riots will prevent Albania from joining the EU, where such riots never happen.
Violent clashes between police and protesters rocked Albania's capital Tirana, as student-led demonstrations against the government of Prime Minister Edi Rama continued for a sixth day. reut.rs/4i4vhib
The Pink Panther photos from French protests are AI generated apparently. Photo on left from Armenia 2015. I fell for it because it didn't seem unreasonable. I've seen protesters in costume with my own eyes in London. This is how they'll get you with fake images, they'll keep it believable.
Je sais pas si l'info circule convenablement vu que je vois souvent les photos passer, mais les images de la panthère rose qui se fait arroser par des keufs, sont des fausses photos générées par I.A. à partir de photos de manifs en Arménie datant de 2015.

do think there's a danger of looking at shit like this, and convincing yourself it's cooler than most practical effects and stunts in movies.
do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

Thank you Google for crippling ad blockers for the sake of your profits
New this morning: @citizenlab.ca has identified an Israeli ad tech company — one that's placed ads on NBC News — that ran a secret side platform to let spyware companies plant malicious code to hack people browsing those sites. 45 Al Jazeera employees and journalists were infected!

This seems to be pushed as a claim that Palantir's AI helps catch "bad cops". The guy was *volunteering* with the Met, and all he did was bypass the "view once" feature in WhatsApp, for images a woman sent him. Slap in the wrist seems more apt than featuring on the BBC. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
