“They’ve killed a lot of Americans” is one of these brainless cliches every blob stenographer cites. Iran has killed approximately zero US civilians in the past 40 years, the US, without provocation, killed 120+ school girls in a double tap strike 9 months ago.
Rep. Adam Hamawy tells a seemingly incredulous CNN anchor that, when it comes to Iran, the United States is “making adversaries when we should be making friends.”

Finally watched the director’s cut of Rebel Moon: Part Two. It’s a shame that so much of what gives character depth and makes the story not just another run-of-the-mill, by the numbers sci-fi fantasy isn’t in the regular cuts. Gotta leave room for all that slo-mo, I guess.

Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI system that could rewrite what people say during livestreams in real time. It could change words depending on who's watching, taking into account their age, location, and language.
The idea is to clean up broadcasts by removing filler words, censoring swearing, or even replacing certain words.
The AI could also adjust the speaker's lip movements so viewers wouldn't notice anything had been changed.
