  • I think there’s something more going on here than just “marketing”. Because if you look at the tiny thumbnail in the OP it’s very clearly red, and you can even load that thumbnail into an image editor and zoom in to see slightly reddish pixels.

    So something happens when scaling this image that actually results in a red hue, and I don’t think my computers image scaling algorithms are also falling for “marketing”. I would guess it’s actually some kind of sub-pixel trick that makes it seem like there’s colors there which aren’t, and that’s why the image scaling algorithms also reveal the same colors you see.


  • This is actually more terrifying than you might have intended.

    I’ve long thought that the greatest danger AI poses is going to be the “man behind the curtain” effect. If people can blame everything on AI then AI can be a blanket covering deliberate harm.

    Imagine if government starts using AI for decision making. You could easily end up with a “man behind the curtain” who’s actually calling all the shots and just pretending it’s the AI doing it. Then you’d effectively have a dictatorship where nobody knows/believes they’re in a dictatorship.
