There's a wind farm going in near a town NE of here and I've been reading the discussions about it on Facebook. It's on private land 40 miles from town and it's pretty interesting reading people who live in town twisting themselves into a pretzel trying to rationalize why they should have some kind of say about it. Whatever you think of wind power, it's hard to come up with a rationale for how some farmer 40 miles away putting up some wind turbines is such an impact on your life that you should be able to tell him he can't do it.

This picture was tough to make. None of the stable diffusion models want to hide the mouth and nose unless it is a medical mask. I fought with it for like an hour till I finally got a scarfy wrap pic. Then tried a few different models to make it look more homespun.

Then it was hard to find one that would do a color with sclera for that spice look. This one works but if you tried to go more violet it would glow and you'd get animal pupils so that's close enough.

If I saw that video a few years ago I wouldn't think it was fake (Like, paid actors) or CGI. Even now the biggest problem is oddly the voice which has the 2026 era AI synthesized voice, which has a pretty huge industry trying to improve while having a bajillion hours of highly labeled data to work from, so don't count on relying on synth-sounding voice for AI detection.

For this specific video, tree-drama between neighbors is a consistent problem, it's only the old man crying and his story that's exceptional. In terms of content, the video would be more believable if they had less professional looking arborists, since someone who shows up with a hard-hat, safety vest might and branded truck probably knows better than to remove a really beautiful oak tree in a dense suburban neighborhood without checking the right boxes. They might be held liable for the removal if they didn't follow the state / city law around the work. Conversely, a common problem is people getting quotes from professional arborists, balking at the price because how hard is it to cut down a tree? and then going with "some guy my friend knows who has a chainsaw", to hilarious effect.



For me, the first obvious clue was the crying old man kept wiping his eyebrows with the tissue. Maybe he has a uniquely rare genetic defect? But I doubt it.
