It wouldn't be beneath VICE to use sound editing to put bomb sounds into takes that didn't have them there to begin with. They quite literally have no journalism code of ethics.

I think there is a grand misunderstanding around my use of machine learning. Your first two suggestions have an assumption that the images weren't heavily modified before going into Artbreeder which was usually the case. or modified in

Creator here to answer: I have tried to make it clear in interviews these are not ground-truth representations. "each step towards realism is likely a step away from ground-truth." via https://www.smithsonianmag.com&#x2

As the creator I must say there is a lot of misunderstanding in all the comments above but people are making many valid points. On a side-note you might be interested to see that I have tried to reconstruct that horrible Ronaldo statue. ht

I think most people assumed that Elon was communicating with BuzzFeed in bad faith and the senior tech reporter was acting in good faith ... but consider the alternate perspective. The reporter had spent several years provoking Elon, Grimes

Vice has no journalism code of ethics. They have no official fact-checking process. I tried fact-checking Vice and it didn't go so well: https://notvice.com/fact-checking-vice-a-fiction-2d482100116...

Uh, working 4am to 2:15pm has nothing to do with meal perks.

I completely disagree. Someone who discloses things of this nature seems even more honest. In my opinion you seem like a bit of a square. :| edit: Goobye kharma.

Many indie documentary companies are edgy. Just look at what plays at festivals like 'hotdocs'. Speaking more generally about journalism you can try The Intercept. But if you want more established sources where you have to dig for

Sorry. Got side tracked. Will reply as long as the thread stays open.

Companies that don't take creative liberties in the way you are suggesting: New York Times, Reuters, Washington Post, NPR, PBS Frontline, BBC, CBC Radio, ProPublica, Associated Press, The Guardian. Their code of ethics can be found her

And to think they tried to hire me. I guess in some multiverse you're simultaneously trying to advocate and discredit me at the same time. Since I'm the author of the article and you seem passionate about the subject if you have a

Thanks for your reply. I almost didn't read it despite the publisher being Scientific American. can confirm the article seems to lean heavily towards a "Yea"

Made while writing a book on Vice media. My attempt to quantify low editorial standards in 'new media'. The methodology was rather crude. I compared Google search results for the word "the site:example.com" and compared

While this article is a good exception... In writing a book on Vice media I had the idea to see which american media outlets issue more corrections and updates. Vice scored the absolute worst. Much worse than Time, Gawker and Fox News. htt

Just to be clear: most the media outlets that misreported this story typically issue corrections more frequently than Vice/Motherboard. The credit of this article goes the the writer and not Vice. Vice has a long history of history of

I'm not quite sure what you're advocating. The reporting isn't original and the headline is click-bait. I consider yc news a place for elevated discussion not for elevating BS.

Did the article really describe a 'constant nightmare' or was the article more an example of anectdata. I would argue that demonizing STEM fields with sensational language does more harm than good.

Can someone explain to me the difference between this and the computer generated music David Cope of the early 1990s? https://youtu.be/yFImmDsNGdE?t=44s It seems like the word 'AI' is getting thrown around.

I investigated Vice for over six months for a book. Their media is so bad I regularly call it a liar's cult. It should be stated that Vice has no fact-checking process. They also rarely issue corrections. Read everything from them with
