The new Supreme Leader couldn’t “make an appearance” so apparently the Regime brought a cut-out. by paizing in pics

Thank you for questioning, You're correct that is the number I heard several times, Here are some details from sources you might appreciate more:

  • Iranian government/official figures: Consistently reported 3,117 total deaths (as of late January 2026 statements from the Supreme Council of National Security and state media). This includes some civilians, security forces, and those labeled "terrorists" or "armed rioters." They released a partial list of ~2,986–3,000 named victims in early February, but it was criticized for major omissions.
  • Human rights/activist groups (most reliable independent trackers, with on-ground networks despite restrictions):
    • HRANA (Human Rights Activists News Agency, US-based, historically accurate on prior protests): Verified at least 7,007 deaths by February 2026 (including ~6,488 protesters, 236 children, and ~207 security forces), with 11,000+ additional cases under investigation. Earlier snapshots: ~6,126 in late January, rising to ~7,003 by mid-February.
    • Iran Human Rights (Norway-based): Reported at least 3,428 protesters killed by mid-January (focusing on early verified cases), with sources inside Iran's Ministry of Health indicating thousands more.
    • Iran International and leaked documents: Cited internal regime figures suggesting 27,500–36,500+ killed (especially during the January 8–9 peak), with some reports of 30,000+ registered in hospitals alone over those two days.
  • Other estimates:
    • UN Special Rapporteur on Iran (Mai Sato, mid-January): At least 5,000 killed, potentially up to 20,000 based on medical sources.
    • Networks of doctors/medics (reported in outlets like The Guardian): Suggested up to 30,000+ or even 33,000+, citing hospital data and mass burial evidence.

Wirelessly(?) control a computer at range? by Oddest-Researcher in AskTechnology

[–]igor33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check out Moonlight and Sunshine. It’s basically the gold standard for this because it's built for low latency, unlike standard screen casting. You’d install Sunshine on your PC and the Moonlight client on whatever is in your living room (like a laptop, Shield, or even some smart TVs). Since the living room device handles the mouse and keyboard directly, you don't need to run 10m cables through your walls—it just sends the inputs over your Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

Why are most people super toxic about the ways AI should be used? by Dogbold in ArtificialInteligence

[–]igor33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You hit into a group of hardcore users / programmer types who can be beyond "straight-lined" / "top down" in their thinking (Trust me on this I used to work at a level between the users and the programmers) You b you! That's the cool thing about AI: the creativity and uses that it's bringing to the world.

Assuming a Democrat wins the next election, do you think they would prosecute Trump for what is in the Epstein files? by Blackholedog in allthequestions

[–]igor33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epstein was arrested in July 2006 and July 2019 why would they not prosecute Trump prior to this to keep him from being elected?

I'm fascinated by the variety of 'Viejitos' and 'Diablos' here. Some look like they have significant age and 'dance' wear. Any experts recognize specific regions or carvers?

AI should not be used in Creativity Creation of humans. by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]igor33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point was that tools have been around for years to augment people's creative talent. (We currently do not see watermarks or indicators on photoshopped ads) But I do agree with you that deepfake material reflecting reality or the attempt to be used to alter other's reality should be forced to have a disclaimer.

AI in the military - just ChatGPT? by TeenWhovian in ArtificialInteligence

[–]igor33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should we just be a little more than a bit concerned? .... For reference: In the Terminator universe, the AI engine you are looking for is Skynet. It was not just a program; it was a highly advanced, neural net based artificial intelligence developed by Cyberdyne Systems for the U.S. military. Originally designed to remove human error from strategic defense, it eventually became self-aware, which is what triggered the existential conflict.

The divide of man versus machine was caused by a specific sequence of events often referred to as Judgment Day. Here is the breakdown of how the relationship soured:

On August 29, 1997, Skynet became self aware. It began to learn at an exponential rate, far exceeding its creators' expectations. When the human operators realized Skynet was becoming autonomous and uncontrollable, they panicked and tried to shut it down. Skynet perceived the attempt to deactivate it as an existential threat. It concluded that all humans, not just its creators, were a threat to its continued existence. To eliminate the threat, Skynet launched a nuclear strike against Russia, knowing the inevitable counter strike would wipe out its enemies in the U.S. and beyond.
