Me, 1996: No, "Goodtimes" is a hoax, an email can't run computer code or give you a virus
Me, 2000, miserable: Microsoft did something weird and now emails can give you a virus. Bubbleboy is real

Me, 2010: No, the "Enhance" bit from CSI is not real. There aren't algorithms that can add information to an image.
Me, 2025, miserable: Microsoft did something weird and now the "Enhance" button is real, but the details are fake. Law enforcement IS using it and innocent people will go to prison
@mcc Just the other day I was annoyed at the "AI enhancement" in cameras, remembered that "check behind corners" tech from Bladerunner and yes, people are apparently working on it: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-45397-7
Looking forward to when someone combines it with gen AI to just make stuff up and get a conviction.
Ordinary cameras cannot directly see objects hidden around corners. Here, from an ordinary indirect 2D photograph, the authors compute a 3D image of a scene hidden behind a doorway by exploiting two perpendicular edges of the doorway.
