Perhaps, but it’s a movement in the right direction, so why not celebrate that?
Because it ISN’T. Every time the fascist GOP go right, the Dem leadership follow them to recapture the mythical “Centrist independents” they revere so much.
They don’t want progress. They want a return to 1992.
You are just determined to be miserable, aren’t you?
Nope. Just not a hopelessly naive party loyalist 🤷🏻
i am gravely disappointed by this deep-fried image
I got it from Twitter several years before the Nazi idiot bought it, so it might have taken some dust from so much time in the archives too 🤔
I am baffled as to how you could think it was a good idea to post this image you posted.
Some of the text is entirely unreadable; it was obviously scaled down too far and then scaled back up using AI upscaling:
Now that this comment has linked you to a full-res version of this image, I hope you’ll edit the post. (I’m linking to what you originally posted in this comment so people can see why this post got downvotes after you do.)
also imo when linking to a meme with an abridged version of a quote it’s nice to include a link to the unabridged version also. So: here is the text and pdf scan of the Letter from Birmingham Jail.

It was the one I had lying around in my archives 🤷🏻

Nah, I’ve had this one since the 2010s. There was no AI upscaling back then.

Already did.

Good point, will add those to the post text. Thanks for the links!

There was, actually: the SRCNN paper was in 2014, and widely accessible tools using CNNs for upscaling became available soon after (such as waifu2x in 2015 and Neural Enhance in 2016).
There are some other image scaling algorithms which could possibly maybe produce artifacts like that without a neural network but I am relatively sure that the image you posted was “AI upscaled”.

The version you’re linking to now is at least readable, but still full of compression artifacts and is a third of the resolution of the version @PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@anarchist.nexus linked to.

I literally downloaded the one you’re referring to and replaced the old one with it, without doing any editing of it
If it’s showing up worse in the OP than in the comment, that’s Lemmy or your client fucking up, not me.

i guess your instance must have downscaled it then
why is the text garbled and blurred like bad AI?
Yeah, I can’t even say “nice try” with this.
Idunno. Found it like that on Twitter several years before the Nazi took over.
Maybe the original poster did it on purpose to leave out whatever wasn’t relevant to what they were trying to convey with it? 🤷🏻
Thanks, replaced it 😁
