Has Hakim made it big on the algorithm? This video has been recommended to a bunch of my lib friends and they're all talking about it, and weirdly enough it didn't show up for me, despite me being subscribed.

"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I saw an article about how the photo doesn't matter anymore and everything has changed, and I thought people somehow finally realized the picture is taken out of context to prop up a conspiracy theory, but... no. It was an article about AI editing and how people can "erase history" and remove "Tank Man" from the photo and people can be "tricked" into thinking it never happened.
Which is stupid as fuck. The pic happened. The video happened. Ironically, they do more to disprove the massacre narrative than support it. The massacre didn't happen, and editing a picture isn't going to erase that myth from a country obsessed with believing it.
The article, if my assumption is correct, was about some new Pixel phones' feature where you can prompt a generative AI to add stuff to your picture. Which makes it even more stupid. Because the ability to remove tank man from the picture has existed since the era of film photography.
China isn't perfect, but the difference in values never becomes more apparent than with Tiananmen. Whether you believe it happened or not, there's no photo evidence that people were brutalized to such a degree or crushed by tanks. Then you look at something like Kent State or Gaza and the very first thing you see are crushed or mutilated dead bodies.
Oh man how’s this gonna play on !breadtube@lemmy.ml? We’re about to find out… https://lemmy.ml/post/19640061
It seems they didn't like it very much but weren't able to offer any substantiated criticisms.
One person finally showed up to kvetch about [ableist slur] tankies.
Silent seething downvotes and one rabid anti-tankie who did not watch the video
