AI generated or not, marketing Dubai evacuation flights with influencer selfies is too funny
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
Or just go the neologism way that english loves: misertainment
Eh, that seems to suggest it’s entertainment for or about misers, rather than misery
No matter what you think of Dubai, this is cruel.
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.
You were right I found it back for the pets these “expat” are letting behind.
These people had no problem living in a slave city or abandoning their pets to die of thirst, as exemplified by that post.
Which proves my point…
Ho boy… I though you were defending them… My bad
You right, can you link me to the reddit where the slaves used to build and maintain Dubai are speaking about their evacuations ?
That’s my point…
I don’t understand, that was sarcasm ?
No, I’m saying they’re pieces of shit who chose to live in a slave city, and have no problem abandoning their pets.
So no matter how many bombs fall, I will never feel sorry for those expats.
How?
This endangers civilians.
So does western nations lining up to support bombing Iranian civilians.
Finally! A use case for AI! Oh wait we already knew it‘s used in all sorts of scams and criminal activity.
It still does, but it used to, too.
