Part of the mess that AI tools create is not just the fake images, video and audio but the doubt they sow about everything else.'

"As is common practice, the image was resized to fit our specs,. During that process, the automation by Photoshop created an image that was not consistent with the original."
I've never used #Photoshop but I'm preeeeety sure there's no way to set it up so that cropping an image of a woman automatically enlarges her breasts and removes clothing.

Would you like to make a meaningful impact on the lives of farmed #pigs? If so, we need you!
Public submissions are open for the #Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into #pig welfare, which was initiated after #FarmTransparencyProject exposed the use of gas chambers in #Australian slaughterhouses. Chaired by #AnimalJusticeParty MP, #GeorgiePurcell, the inquiry will investigate the welfare of farmed pigs in #Victoria, and prepare a report suggesting improvements to the government.
Vegan Australia is preparing a submission that calls for an end to the breeding, using and killing of animals in #Australia. In order to ensure that the #vegan voice is fully represented, we want to encourage as many individuals as possible to write their own submission.
The deadline for submission is the 12th of January. For guidance in writing your submission, click through to this link:

End the Duck Slaughter - Our native waterbirds need sanctuary, not slaughter. Yet duck shooters are still allowed to maim our native species simply for fun. Shooting ducks is morally unacceptable to the majority of Victorians and studies show time and time again that native duck numbers are consistently declining as a direct result of the climate emergency and drought. Duck shooting has already been banned by Labor Governments in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia. It's time for Victoria to do the same. Right now, the lives of native waterbirds are hanging in the balance as the Andrews Government decides on the future of duck shooting.
