    1. Images are created by defining a grid of dots, called pixels. Each pixel has three numbers that define the color (red, green, and blue), and the grid is created as a list (rows) of lists (columns).

      I've heard only three colors (RGB) are needed because these colors are enough to recreate what the human eye perceives. I think it’s interesting how such a wide range of colors and detailed images can be created just by changing the intensity of three simple values in each pixel.

    1. We also would like to point out that there are fake bots as well, that is real people pretending their work is the result of a Bot. For example, TikTok user Curt Skelton posted a video claiming that he was actually an AI-generated / deepfake character:

      Today, we are exposed to a growing number of AI-generated videos on platforms like Instagram and YouTube. While some are clearly AI, others appear highly realistic, often prompting viewers to question whether the content was created by a human or AI. This ongoing uncertainty has begun to shape a habitual way of thinking, where we instinctively evaluate the authenticity of what we see. As AI and bots become further integrated into digital media, this shift raises important questions about how trust, perception, and credibility may evolve in the future.

    2. “I’ve gotten a rush of tweets – coordinated tweets. Like, somewhere else on the internet there’s like a group on the internet saying, ‘Okay, everyone tweet Rian Johnson.’ All from Russian accounts, and all begging me not to kill Admiral Hux in this movie.”

      This phenomenon appears frequently with celebrities. Bots are often used to generate coordinated hate comments or manipulate online discourse, which can significantly harm celebrities’ digital presence. Such misuse undermines personal expression, damages mental well-being, and disrupts the sense of personalization and safety within their online spaces.

    1. Taoism

      Taoism teaches that life works best if we don't force it and move with the flow. Not over controlling or over reacting and respond calmly and being adaptive. I think people can use taoism for mental health and stress reduction.

    1. What motivated Twitter users to put time and energy into this?

      There is little debate about the negativity or morality of Justine’s actions, which makes it easy for the majority of people to agree on canceling her. Emotional reactions and moral judgment play a significant role in this process. Many viewers feel a responsibility to correct behavior they see as wrong or unethical, framing their response as an exercise of free speech. As a result, Justine becomes positioned as a villain, someone who has done something offensive and therefore “deserves” public backlash. Canceling her becomes a collective effort to punish and condemn, rather than a space for discussion or reflection.
