I’m pretty sure this is who they’re sourcing for the claim retracting it, but it’s been telephoned a fair bit: https://x.com/tshugart3/status/1813332364761968959

People are complaining that an advanced fill tool that’s mostly used to remove a smudge or something is automatically marking a full image as an AI creation. As-is if someone actually wants to bypass this “check” all they have to do is strip the image’s metadata before uploading it.

CSIS like most of our “think tanks” is also a barely disguised corporate lobbying group that pretends to be something more.

Chatbots passed the Turing test ages ago, it’s not a good test.

Context onwhat the “doxxing” actually entailed and why it happened.

What was shared was a leaked chat transcript demonstrating the coordinated efforts of many working to silence support for Palestinian liberation.

The transcript clearly demonstrates collective actions taken to contact employers, funding bodies, publishers and journalists to censure anyone deemed to be a threat to zionist ideology. Some of these efforts were successful, the firing of Antoinette Lattouf being but one example.

Basically, they were running harassment campaigns out of a chat that used real names and someone leaked it.

This is ass backwards. UNRWA immediately fired the accused employees solely because they were worried about the potential ramifications and figured it wasn’t something worth fighting. They had and have seen zero actual evidence to back it up. Meanwhile, half the west stupidly took this as evidence that the allegations were true and pulled their future funding, while they too have seen zero actual evidence to back up Israel’s claims.

You could actually look and see that it’s firmly condemned.

So he’s following the one that’s actually an issue. Cool.

According to some weird red-brown alliance “patriotic socialists,” “maga communists,” or whatever they’re calling themselves now (The first one was probably way too on the nose). We’re not them though. We even immediately drove one of the main figures behind that cryptofash bullshit out, and now they’re just a semi-regular feature in the dunk tank.

/Edit - May be confusing the drumming out with another far less edgy community and/or the r/CTH days. Folks like that are prolific about trying to wedge their way in. Latter point there still stands though.

They’ve decided a radically inclusive, three-year-old community of lefties who were here well before there was any serious activity on Lemmy are secret fascists who only pretend to be heavily LGBT for laughs. How are you supposed to respond to that? It’s hugely insulting and absurd on its face.

The notice itself isn’t malware, but I’m not sure on the cause. For some reason the Lemmy web client occasionally tries to cache a metric fuckton on iOS Safari (and probably elsewhere but it happens silently), which sounds like something for the devs to look into.

Generally, Lemmy’s 100x better in stability and speed than it was a couple months ago when a bunch of new people started working on it, but before then it was the side project of a handful of people and it showed. EG - The infamous, three-year-old Hexbear instance managed to have the entire picture side of it go down for a couple days because someone uploaded an absurdly large, extremely low quality photo of a North Korean soldier on it. So, there are probably still some issues like that kicking around.

That’s literally what concentration camps are. Points where you “concentrate” a population you’re trying to control.

Outright murdering the people you have in them was a Nazi death camp thing, but the Brits were probably most famous for using them before that while attempting to suppress colonial rebellion.
