An AI video of Christopher Pelkey forgave his killer in court in what officials believe was the first use of AI to deliver a victim impact statement.
The message was well-received by Judge Todd Lang, who told the courtroom, “I love that AI. Thank you for that. I felt like that was genuine; that his obvious forgiveness of Mr. Horcasitas reflects the character I heard about today,”
i fucking hate the future, man
I lost ten years off my life reading that. What the hell.
does Arizona elect judges?
they don't
weird, so this guy has no excuse
I'm glad to know that when I get gunned down by cops that they'll play an AI simulacra of me that tells them that I deserved it and they did a good thing, really, and should be proud. Really puts me at peace.
There also seems to be an onus on the family of the victims to do a public show of forgiveness even hugging. I get that they may do it for their own relief but the way its paraded knowing full well they won't find justice rubs me the wrong way
Yeah, it's so fucked up how much emphasis is put on "forgiveness" in our culture. No matter how awful a person is, or what kind of horrible things they've done, or how little genuine remorse they actually show, we should always forgive, because "it is the right thing to do."
For real. Yet a lot of the same people would kick their child out if they came out as lgbt. Or support others doing so. Where the so called right thing there? Man should do one where the CEO shot by luigi says healthcare should be a right see how much ppl will swoon then
through the power of the digital luigi board, you too can exonerate your killer from beyond the grave. the future is Now.
luigi board
:kelly:
he spoke
h0nkeys have no grasp of reality
Ahhhhhhhh! What is this meaningless shit!?
I read about this on BlueSky and honestly it's so fucking absurd it slid off my brain. Like WTF?
Nah fuck all that. 
AI video is going to be admissible as real evidence within five years as reality is abandoned and ruled fake
So next time I have to go to court for something I can just make an AI Video of the Victim saying he forgives me, and I go free of charge?
cracker ass honkeys
Alright, fuck this, I'm going outside.
I love how all character-based AI that isn't used for porn is just a different variation of Live Forever as You Are Now with Alan Resnick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg29TuWo0Yo
What's Alan Resnick up to these days?

it'll be nice of that judge's AI recreation to forgive whoever gets him
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
