#1 Foxy AI-generated women

AI is dragging our wildest, most depraved fantasies from the depths of our twisted imaginations, and morphing them into visual, interactive realities - but to what end, and at what cost, goddamnit!?

Once you’ve asked your favorite OnlyFans model to use AI to make herself more foxy in a bid to satisfy your secret mild-beastiality fetish (although, in our opinion, it’s not particularly well done…), where do you go from there?

Who’d have thunk that Rob Zombie already knew where we were headed back in 2006, prophetically posing the question, “Foxy Foxy, what’s it gonna be?”

AI-GENERATED SEXY WOMEN MADE BY MEN, FOR MEN

Creating and faking an online persona is one thing. Impersonating a real human with deep-fake AI tech and creating unconsented pornographic material is well and truly another kettle of fish.

With images of algorithmically-generated women plastered across the internet, one is forced to ponder - how does one know what is real?

Top OnlyFans creators easily rake in more than $100,000 per month, which, at least for a brief period of time, seemed to give the power back to the women making the content.

However, perhaps (un)surprisingly, many of these large accounts are managed by male business owners, giving rise to the modern E-Pimp.

Taken one step further (despite user identification protocols), we’re starting to see imposters pose as genuine content creators - with accounts flagged as men generating erotic AI content of a female persona for male subscribers and continuing personal conversations in direct chats *facepalm.

That’s not to say the opposite doesn’t happen, with women impersonating men, men impersonating men, or women impersonating themselves. But when deep-fake pornographic footage of real humans becomes a reality, we must surely take pause, scratch our heads, and wonder where this stops.

At least, next time you’re considering signing up for a new, unbelievable OnlyFans model, ask yourself, “Do I care if this is fake?”.

🐂 THE RUNDOWN

Firearm detection in schools by AI software aims to dramatically reduce the number of shootings in the U.S. Constantly scanning for weapons, Brazosport ISD cameras can detect firearms with a high level of certainty, and alert law enforcement within seconds.

BuzzFeed fired 180 people in December, and now have ChatGPT creating their content. A harrowing precursor of what is yet to come in the job market as we rapidly develop and adopt AI.

Soulless AI-written sermons making their way into Sunday services lack an understanding of what makes us human, delivering empty but nonetheless convincing worship services.

Microsoft is letting companies create their own predictive text bots, using a Bring Your Own Data “BYOD” approach to training material.

Google’s MetNet-2, a deep learning weather model, accurately predicts rain up to 12 hours in advance.

📜 FREE RESOURCES

As E.B. White said “Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.”

But with everything so freakin’ expensive - like, gas at over $6.69 a galon!? - earning a little extra on the side can make getting somewhere else a bit easier.

These 7 AI-Facilitated Side Hustle Ideas from John Vituli might help cover the next weekend trip gas bill.

And these aren’t just generic filler ideas - you can actually make a steady stream of income if you put as much time into your chosen side hustle as, say, doom scrolling your socials.

Our top 3 pick from the list:

• Blog post writing: Plenty of people out there are looking for help churning out AI content.

💭 THOUGHT LEADERSHIP

In a thought-provoking thread, AI-enthusiast Javi Lopez considers how changes in AI will impact the way we interact with content and information in the future.

While these ideas are just digital musings at the moment, it’s not that far of a stretch to imagine a world without webpages, given how quickly things are developing.

🤔 WHAT’S YOUR OPINION?

Take a look at this GIF.

In a simple but deliciously hilarious way, it combines several elements to create an amusing pun. To understand it, the human observer assimilates:

• A basic knowledge of automobile type and functionality

• An ability to understand written words and labelling

• The ability to recognize a famous historical figure and artist

The cognitive process of “getting” this meme relies on learned information, memory, and importantly, taking things out of context and reassigning meaning to get the joke.

Given your understanding of AI systems, what’s your opinion?

Do you think the AI we have now in 2023 gets this level of nuance? Can AI understand or generate material like this?

We’d love to know your thoughts, let us know in the poll below!

🥊 MOMMA SAID KNOCK YO’ OUT - AI TO ELIMINATE BAD JUDGING CALLS

If there’s one thing AI can do (amongst everything else it can do), it’s recognizing real-time patterns. 

DeepStrike, an AI model trained by Jabbr.ai, identifies and records punches thrown and landed in boxing matches, as well as footwork patterns and balance.

For one, athletes can use this to study their opponents and enhance their own game, and commissions can also use it to weed out suspected fight fixing.

Tech like this will also eventually do away with judging in prize fighting (along (and when you consider the of highly controversial, and in many cases, blatantly wrong decisions there have been over the years, it’s not such a bad thought).

It just goes to show how far-reaching and all-encompassing AI technology is, permeating literally every facet of human life.
