That """"human"""" skeleton in the fourth item gave it away immediately. Now that I look at it further, "Isolation & Surveillance" and a picture of a megaphone??? "Fear as a tool of control" with a lightning bolt in someone's head??? Did OP even read their slop before vomiting it here?

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 31 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Also the color of the background. For some reason genAI uses that a lot.

What's wrong with the skeleton? It's stylised of course as these sorts of icons tend to be, but generally correct. Pelvis, spine, ribs, head, etc.

The megaphone seems like a very good way to evoke images of an abusive overseer controlling the camp's prisoners using technology of the modern day, an effective image for a section on monitoring and control, no?

There is no standardised symbol for fear within a person's mind, so again, a stylised symbol showing a lightning bolt is fine. Especially given that it is likely there on purpose - think shocks. Shocks of a different kind you may receive under an evil oppressive prisoner camp system (imagine the sudden shock in ones mind as a guard shouts or lashes out at you, I would certainly consider symbolising that in this manner).

It's as if you've never looked at anything anyone's made with simple clipart and the like before, and assume everything must be extremely deep and custom designed by experts?

Even if this were made with the help of AI, I don't see the message being any less valid, just because the person didn't go download an image editor to a PC, learn how to use it, learn how to import SVG icons and research for the most appropriate ones, build the image and export it appropriately, etc.

Not everybody is as skilled or capable as you or I may be in producing something that we might consider simple. Heck, some people only have a smartphone, not everybody has the luxury of owning a PC and proper software, nor the time or inclination to learn such tools.

The message in this image is conveyed very well, and is relevant to the current fascist regime's actions in the USA (and indeed is a universally important message).

If you want to suggest it's bad (or "slop", as you so evocatively put it) just because you don't like the image creator used to put it to print, well, that's a weird hill to die on, to be honest.

You better hope your country never duplicates the USA's slide into fascism, or you yourself may one day end up in a camp... or worse. How quick to attack the people trying to raise awareness of these abuses of human rights then, I wonder?

Someone owns stock in AI 💀💀

that’s a weird hill to die on, to be honest.

Welcome to Lemmy (and Reddit).

Makes me wonder how many memes are "tainted" with oldschool ML before generative AI was common vernacular, like edge enhancement, translation and such.

A lot? What's the threshold before it's considered bad?

[–] superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well those things aren’t generative AI so there isn’t much of an issue with them

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

What about 'edge enhancing' NNs like NNEDI3? Or GANs that absolutely 'paint in' inferred details from their training? How big is the model before it becomes 'generative?'

What about a deinterlacer network that's been trained on other interlaced footage?

My point is there is an infinitely fine gradient through time between good old MS paint/bilinear upscaling and ChatGPT (or locally runnable txt2img diffusion models). Even now, there's an array of modern ML-based 'editors' that are questionably generative most probably don't know are working in the background.

[–] superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Id say if there is training beforehand, then its “generative AI”

What's wrong with the skeleton is, that it has a second head where an ass should be.

[–] superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

The rib cage is also way too long, and wtf is that bone under the ass head

[–] jpeps@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I think it is a pelvis on the left as others have said. I have to admit though I thought I was looking at two skulls, probably because I was biased to look from left to right so I just accepted the left one as a skull and then the right skull actually looks like a skull. My first thought though was that it was an abstract depiction of overcrowding, so it was intentional to show two skeletons pushed close together.

So the opposite of trump where there is a second asshole in his face

Informationen about concentration camps on TikTok because of recent events. Did not have this on my bingo card at all.

Arguably all of these already apply to most jails. So I guess it’s all on brand ?

Mass detention w.o. trial?
Targeted group persecution?
Harsh, inhumane conditions?

[–] istdaslol@feddit.org 11 points 1 week ago

Jailing doesn’t need a trail. It’s mostly thought of as „pre trail prison“

We all know there is a certain bias in the police force, and as well as some legislature being more towards some groups

There are many reports about jails being crowded and or unsanitary.

All in all, less in the nose stuff but still

Mass detentions without trial?

[–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (9 children)

A huge chunk of the American carceral system is people in jail awaiting trial. According to the Prison Policy Institute 70% of the population of city and county jails are pretrial detentions. They can't afford bail so they are stuck in jail without ever being convicted of anything.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I don't think this statistic should be that alarming. One of the main roles of the jail is to be the place where suspects are held pretrial. If convicts were taken to prison directly from the courthouse immediately after conviction, and if short term sentences were served in prison rather than jail, the percentage of unconvinced people in jail would have risen to 100% - and note that these are two technical changes that don't worsen the incarceration problem.

And there is a problem. I'm not saying there isn't. I'm just saying this number is not a good indicator of it.

Did... Did, you think this was a gotcha? Most jails/prisons are concentration camps.
