@ShiningScience Because the copy/pasted faces and fake lettering doesn't give it away.

AI images are blurring the lines of reality. But geometry can show us what’s real and what’s not.
Here’s how digital forensics pioneer Hany Farid is using the laws of physics to prove what is real.
When a video surfaced appearing to show a U.S. Tomahawk missile striking an Iranian school in 2026, the world turned to Hany Farid, the "godfather of digital forensics," to find the truth.
Amidst a flood of AI-generated disinformation, Farid spent hours dissecting the footage frame by frame. While AI can easily mimic dramatic explosions and billowy smoke, it often fails to account for the rigid laws of physics. By calculating the missile’s trajectory, its size relative to the camera lens, and the precise timing between the visual impact and the sound of the blast, Farid confirmed the video was real—a rare moment of certainty in an era where digital manipulation is becoming the global default.
The challenge is no longer just spotting "bad" fakes; it is fighting a psychological war where humans are increasingly unable to distinguish between genuine documentation and AI hallucinations.
Farid, a professor at UC Berkeley, warns that unregulated AI companies are pushing society toward a "dystopian future where nobody believes anything." From political campaigns using AI to make arrested protesters appear more sympathetic to news agencies "enhancing" crime scene photos with false details, the stakes of the digital arms race have never been higher.
As AI content becomes more visually compelling than reality, the ultimate defense may lie in the very thing algorithms struggle to replicate: the consistent physics and actual geometry of our physical world.

The majority of recycled polyester is made from PET plastic. Typically old plastic bottles that get shredded, melted down, and spun into synthetic fibers
This is turned into leggings, sports bras, workout tops, underwear, pajamas and clothes we wear directly on our skin for hours
But it doesn’t stop there, it’s treated where chemicals. The new clothing gets treated with dyes, finishes, stretch chemicals, odor-control coatings and more
This is all true
The vast majority around 99% of recycled polyester in clothing comes from post-consumer PET bottles, which are shredded, melted, and spun into fibers for activewear, leggings, underwear and more
Recycling doesn’t turn plastic into a natural fiber, it remains a petroleum-derived synthetic polymer
Just because it’s “Recycled” doesn’t mean it’s non-toxic, natural, or breathable: It doesn’t magically become skin-friendly or healthy just because it had a previous life as a bottle
All polyester sheds microplastics during washing and wear. Recent 2025 studies found that recycled polyester often sheds 55% more microfibers than virgin polyester and the particles are smaller. This makes them potentially more harmful as they spread easier and penetrate deeper
Recycled polyester requires additional chemical processing, dyes, and performance coatings for odor control, stretc my and more
This results in a chemical cocktail you’re wearing directly on your skin

Uh Oh: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce's new steak restaurant is facing intense backlash after a viral TikTok reviewer labeled a $650 dinner experience a major disappointment.
"The fried chicken arrived before our drinks did, and it was not good; it was not worth the $25. Then the meal came out. We had $15 steak sauce ordered and they did not come, they forgot them. My $100 steak was incorrectly cooked. Couldn't tell the server, you couldn't even find the server to save your life. So just had to go with it, I guess. The fastest thing our server did was collect the bill. Our $650 bill."

@nikitabier FINALLY.
This is the worst part about social media. If there was a platform that prevented accounts from copying content, it would make scrolling more enjoyable. Recycled content makes social media stale.

.@ICEgov law enforcement put their lives on the line to remove CRIMINALS from our neighborhoods.
We need @GovernorVA and Virginia sanctuary politicians to work with us to remove violent criminals and protect the Commonwealth’s communities.
