Comment on No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.

If I say Tiananmen Square, you will, most likely, envision the same photograph I do.

There was film of that exact event. The guy didn’t get run over by the tank, he got on the hood and berated the driver.

Cops in America would run you over for less

  What do you mean explain away? I pointed out that they always stop the footage in a way that implies he dies- when he clearly doesn’t. Having an article about how AI photos can be used to manipulate our perception of reality cite an instance of careful propaganda manipulating the perception of what happened was just a little on the nose.
  
  Seriously posting about a massacre from over 30 years ago where a few hundred people were killed fighting the cops like its supposed to carry water today? Just compare that to the massacre that’s happening right now in Gaza, way more actual evidence of heinous crimes and it’s way more of a concern to me because it’s my government funding it.
