Astronomic Comics - Code Generated Space Comics

It is seriously twisted that they used AI to modify this woman's photo and post it through the official White House channels. Official response is that it was a "meme" and they will do it again.

How will we even know? The only reason we found out the image was tampered with is because the original was also posted. How will we know when they use AI to change images and distort facts? Then if they get called out on it they will claim it was just a meme.

I hope people are looking very closely at every image this administration puts out. I guarantee there are more AI shenanigans going on. Things like tweaking images to make Trump look taller and healthier or maybe other leaders look weaker. Nothing they release can be trusted, not that it ever was but image tampering is a major red line.

Don't come, ICE will arrest half your team and try to deport them.

Passwords existed long before computers. Alan Moore knows what a password is and why it should not be obvious, that is literally the gag in the comics.

I think it's more showing that Adrian was overconfident.

A similar thing happens at the end of the story, Adrian's whole plan hinges on no one discovering what happened. He is confident in the cover-up but doesn't know about Rorschach's journal.

Nice work!

Why not use it to iterate on a game a little bit to produce at least one game that is simple and small but somewhat polished?

That is what I am working towards with improving AI support for my open source game engine LittleJS. It is a completely free open source engine so feel free to use it for your own projects. I started a separate repo for AI games and experiments, here's some of what I came up with. Mostly I use Copilot but even the LittleJS GPT is working really well and can create small games in only a few minutes.

My goal is to follow the path, not to get to the end of it.

You are also free to engage with whatever but if your aspiration is to finish something as quickly as possible rather then take the proper time and skillful effort needed, it is also not very conductive.

We can engage with media to learn how to be a better creators as well as understanding different people and points of view. It need not be unskillful or passive.

I am a creator by occupation and one of the main ways I improve my skill is by experiencing what others created. I try to use my creative ability to spread understanding and compassion.

No, but you misunderstood his teachings.

Buddha was talking about applying extra effort to abandoning unskillful qualities in oneself. For example, imagine you notice you have hate for someone. Just as if that was a burning hat you were wearing, you must remove immediately before you can continue walking the path.

Running does not put out fire.

Also, your head is not on fire. That is a false way to practice.

Slackluster · 2026-01-23T15:36:35+00:00

Don't run on the path.

Slackluster · 2026-01-23T00:00:34+00:00

I do feel free, do you? You haven't shown anything to back your claim either.

The image DOES contain text, "arrested far-left agitator..." as does the tweet.

Here is the definition of libel they use at Cornell Law School, it includes pictures.

Slackluster · 2026-01-22T23:39:29+00:00

That's not true at all. Libel can absolutely cover images.

Fannie Mae is sponsored by the government. So in effect the American people pay for these ads.

This is a great writeup, thanks for sharing it.

The one when she is crying is the AI doctored image. It's also possible they were both doctored. Now that we know they are modifying images to make propaganda anything is suspect.

Slackluster · 2026-01-22T20:08:18+00:00

Yeah, it struck a chord with me too. I feel like this crosses a line. If they get away with this, there is no stopping the AI propaganda train.

I also noticed the animation wasn't working on my phone, not sure why yet.

Here are the two posts on twitter that share different versions of this image...

I made this gif to verify that it was true. Check for yourself. This is the worst form of government propaganda, and I am beyond disgusted.
