    Don’t know the details, but a baseball player was giving an interview, and at the last moment basically blind caught a ball about to wreck the interviewer.

      I think most of them will include videos, what with that having been the gold standard of untamperability way back when.

      As quality audio was. AI slop is eerily good at nailing the hit-like formula. On the other hand, AI is probably much worse at making realistic real life audio.

    Let’s see… The English army made blow up tanks to fake their power. The French made a second Paris to confuse pilots. The military were very upset when the first spam email was sent.

Apple was failing, they fired Steve jobs, Steve then made a different company, couple years later Steve was rehired by Apple and made the initial ipod.

    The moon landing already is already a conspiracy theory, so that? Or if reported from reputable sources it might just be the same conspiracy theorists dismissing it.
