Les chats d'Iran
@Numerozero Best military fire protection one can have in war: feline troops

@Numerozero

Cat 1: "what is that"?
Cat 2: "I have no idea but I wish it would stop"
Cat 3: "I'm hungry"

It's sad but also kind of comforting that it's at least still possible to maintain the sense of normality that allows one to take a cat video.

@rozeboosje @Numerozero is this video verified? I mean: no AI used?
@Mdubbelm @Numerozero I don't have the technical background required to confirm whether AI was used or not. Isn't it sad we have to wonder about this every time we see a video nowadays?

@Numerozero Can you please add alt text to this? @orange_lux Can you help me do this in French? I want to provide alt text for this person to copy and paste, but I don't speak French nearly well enough.

Edit, lux came through with some alt text you can copy and paste:

Vidéo montrant trois chats amaigris sur un toit, regardant les bombardements au loin. Ils ont l'air anxieux, prêts à bondir.
La vidéo enchaîne sur un second plan où on voit trois autres chats dans une situation similaire. Ceux-ci semblent plus détendus.

You'll have to copy-paste my proposition since their account seems to be banned from my instance.

@domo also, I ran the video through an AI detector and it seems likely it's AI generated.
@orange_lux oh fuck, that sucks. I won't be sharing it then. Thank you for that heads up as well 🙏

@orange_lux @domo

Thanks for checking this!

@orange_lux thank you! will look into why that account in banned too, so appreciate the heads up 🙏

@domo I know we're also limiting accounts on dot social, but I'm still able to see a random account page from there (And I don't have access to theirs).

So there's a specific ban about them, but I'm not able to know why. The handle rings a bell, too, but I can't remember the specifics.
