AI generated or not, marketing Dubai evacuation flights with influencer selfies is too funny
No matter what you think of Dubai, this is cruel.
How?
This endangers civilians.
So does western nations lining up to support bombing Iranian civilians.
I think this is hilarious. People who help enable such a terrible country and actively promote it don’t get any sympathy. I’ll save that for the slaves unable to leave.
My schadenfreude does not extend to this type of suffering.
Go to the regional subreddits. They’re dominated by expats, and I bet you’ll rediscover your sense of schadenfreude right quick.
It still does, but it used to, too.
Finally! A use case for AI! Oh wait we already knew it‘s used in all sorts of scams and criminal activity.
I’ve noticed that high tech AI generates photorealistic images in ways that reveal a lot of complexion details that most consumer phones hide. Zoom in, look at those big blotchy freckles.
5 years ago I would’ve thought that fabricating a convincing face would be difficult and fabricating a lamp post would be easy, but here we are.
is there really no english word for leedvermaak? as a dutch guy that is strange
As a dirty American, we just borrow schadenfreude from German usually in my experience.
There are English phrases that approximate it - like “taking enjoyment in another’s misery” but not really a word, at least one I can think of.
just translate it literally and adopt it as an official english word: Miseryentertainment
Yo can even put a dash in-between the two parts to hide the fact that you stole superior German grammar
