Pike survived a lethal injection execution on Wednesday. She was sentenced to death for the 1995 killing of her classmate, Colleen Slemmer.

Christa Pike, the woman who survived an execution attempt in Tennessee earlier this week, is on a ventilator as she receives care in the hospital, her lawyers said in a new statement Friday.

“Christa remains critically ill and is receiving medical care for the devastating effects of Wednesday night’s events,” the lawyers’ statement said. “She is critically ill, unconscious, intubated and receiving breathing assistance through a ventilator.”

The statement said she is being treated for “the serious effects of the pentobarbital administered during the execution attempt, including significant injuries to both arms.”

    For now. At this point, it doesn’t matter much if the AI economic bubble collapses, research will continue, potentially at a lesser pace, and could still outpace, even if temporarily, detection methods.

      Yeah, uh, no.

      It might avoid free eye detection (still doesn’t, AI content is still incredibly easy to spot), but FORENSIC analysis is a bit more thorough than that.

      Though I really love these kinds of comments. I at least used to work in the field some 15 years ago, so I have some awareness of what’s going on. Meanwhile the group of people here who saw flashy AI demos and two-three episodes of CSI think they know best.

      For example, here’s a fun fact: camera sensor pixels aren’t equal. Even on the same sensor, there’s a subtle level of difference in sensitivity between pixels, pixel blocks, and so on. The built in ISP also has its own unique signature. Hell, there’s even a unique signature in the variations of the variance between key frames! All of which can be extracted - much like a hash - but would take immense computational power (we’re talking quantum computing levels, since it IS essentially reversing a hash or cryptographic key) to properly break.

      This kind of fingerprinting alone could verify if a video was tampered with nor not. There’s been whitepapers about this kind of verification since at least 2012. Yet I bet none of you who oh so confidently downvote, knew about it.
