Viral Photos Of Alleged Hamas Leaders Accused Of Being AI Fakes Actually Just Poorly Upscaled
Photos of Hamas leadership enjoying "luxurious lifestyles" went viral on Friday, but many internet users noticed something weird about the images.
Forbes really doesn’t want to report on Gaza.
The images went viral on Friday after they were published to X, formerly known as Twitter, by Hananya Naftali
This is the dude who deleted his tweet saying Israel bombed the hospital in Gaza because it was a Hamas headquarter. Pardon me if I do not really trust his word.
I honestly have no idea if he or the source is credible, but he did provide a source for the original photographs he used. There's a link to it in the Forbes article.
As long as Israel continues to oppress Palestinians they will support whoever has the strength to fight back. Currently, that's only really Hamas, so I don't think these pics will change the mind of many people on the ground. Especially while they're getting their houses and streets presently bombed by Israel...
For years Hamas was supported by key players in Israel. A strong Hamas helped to sow division in the Palestinian cause, undermining the two state solution.
They're supporting their continued oppression.
Correct. But for the people who don't support Hamas they're not really getting anything either. They're still getting their settlements taken over in the West Bank, continued oppression by drone and outside control, and achieving nothing. At least the supporters of Hamas are getting revenge, they're getting a feeling of fighting back (and keep in mind the life expectancy of the place is low, Gaza is mostly children and teens, who everyone knows are dumb, emotional, and easy to control and abuse. Sorry teens, but it's true, we've all been there.).
In order to undermine Hamas and prove revenge and shit isn't needed, we're going to need Israel to lift the boot a little, and then negotiate with someone who's not Hamas, like the PLO, to achieve not just peace, but a peace without oppression. We've seen this everywhere, from the hood of the US, to the terrorists of the middle east, to the pirates of Somalia, or in the warlord children armies of Africa. People in terrible conditions will, under pressure, become terrible people to survive. Not everyone, but statistically, it happens enough we can't be surprised at the outcome anymore.
In 2007 there were no AI fakes worth mentioning . Enlargement or sharpening in amaterish way does NOT equal AI fake or faking content .
Also about every smart phone does upscaling and enchantment in some way by default . That would make most of the photos taken by smartphones fakes as well.
What are we even talking about?
4x was a bit too aggressive I guess
