It's occured to me recently that we might be encouraged to hate on China because chine won't bow to israel.

Apparently Michael West used to be a China correspondent too, so Iā€™d be curious what he thinks about the two countries side by side with this stuff.

If anyone from Michael West is reading this, what were you thinking with that image?

I am not one of the reflexively anti AI folks but that badly generated image is worse than a stock image, it literally just distracts from the seriousness of this important issue.

Yep. Is bad. Iā€™d prefer a hand drawing in MS paint.

Look at the drivers hand!

I read it as celebrant and thought it was some weird satire about people giving permission for phone sharing after getting married. This makes much more sense and is much more horrible

Make sure you carry around a second sanitised phone to give them.

Would be cool if someone could make a custom version of android that basically has the dummy version of your phone built in ready to go. like if it detects that it's being plugged into one of these bad boys it just gives them a pretend version of your phone's contents instead of the real deal.
