The use of social media filters has been in existence for some time now, and the detrimental effects they have on young people have been a topic of discussion. However, recent advancements in AI technology and machine vision have enabled the manipulation of human appearance on a whole new level. Take, for example, the examples showcased on this thread. The ability of this technology to seamlessly alter one's appearance on mobile devices in real-time is nothing short of remarkable. We have now transcended the "uncanny valley" and entered into a realm of unknown and insanity. Brace yourself because our ability to trust our eyes to differentiate what is real from what is not is rapidly diminishing. It is no longer enough to be cautious of the use of filters; we must also be wary of AI-assisted image manipulation that can deceive us even further. As we continue to navigate this new era of advanced technology, it's crucial that we remain vigilant and aware of the potential consequences of such advancements. Nevertheless, we can't deny the potential benefits and opportunities that AI technology brings to the table. It's a delicate balance that we must maintain as we strive to find the sweet spot between progress and caution.

Just finished setting up my Substack. I am going to start blogging again. I will be focussing on these subjects mainly. I have named my blog "Unintuitive Discourse". I will be writing on the following topics: Speech is Free A thought-provoking ride through free speech. Here I share my quirky and controversial takes on the world with one of our most essential human rights - the right to freely express ourselves. From politics, culture, religion and society to privacy, I explore the triumphs and challenges of free speech and delve into the gray areas of what is and isn't acceptable speech - there is none. So hold onto your hats and get ready to engage in uncomfortable conversations on the power of limitless speech. Bitcoin & Money A journey exploring the world of Bitcoin and money. Drawing on evolutionary lenses, I examine the separation of money and the state as a monumental leap forward in human progress, on par with the invention of the printing press. From the nature of value to the implications of a Bitcoin standard, I dive deep into the economy and the incentives that drive it, exploring the potential of a decentralized, neutral global currency and the future of money. Humanism & Civilization A philosophical journey as I delve into the complexities of humanity, civilization, and all the wild and wacky things that come with it, like human rights, politics, society, culture and idenity. I'll also explore the triumphs and challenges of the human species and contemplate the ideals of humanism and what it means to be civilized. So buckle up, my friend, and let's go on a journey to explore the human experience in all its quirky glory. Sci-tech & the Future My journey into the fascinating world of science, technology, and the future. Together, we'll explore the latest breakthroughs I find interesting, dive into ethical and social implications, and ponder the biggest questions of our time. From the potential of AI to the allure of humanity's future beyond our home planet, I'll explore the most exciting developments and share my thoughts on what it all means for us as a species. Secular Maldives I explore the socio-politics of the Maldives through a secular lens. In this category, I'll be sharing my thoughts and insights on the current events, culture, and society of the Maldives. Let's engage in meaningful discussions and gain a deeper understanding of the Maldives together. Personal Blog Welcome to my Personal Blog, where I share my thoughts, experiences, and personal journey with you. This is a space for me to reflect on my life and share what's going on with me.
