    With all the contaminated food headlines. I feel like I’m playing a game of minesweeper whenever I go shopping.

      It’s really just increased media scrutiny. There are similar food recalls constantly and as someone who at least skims every one I haven’t noticed a significant uptick in frequency or severity.

      Screwworm is an actual problem caused by their actions. Additionally, all the inevitable recalls of ‘raw’ food are more significant with them actively boosting it. Neither of those shifts the safety of groceries, however.

    I’m pretty sure it’s called photoshopping images so you can make a meme.

    There is no reason Rapeublicans should be in charge of going to the gas station to pick up snacks. Let alone an entire country.

      There are likely programs that organize images by the most common colors, similar to the ones that let you create a collage image with a whole bunch of tiny images

      Off the top of my head, such a program could probably achieve this by

      1. For each saved RFK image, calculate the average red green and blue values
      2. Calculate the average red green and blue values for the food image
      3. Look for the closest RFK image

      Those images don’t look like AI to me, but rather photos taken under different lighting.

        Yes, although I suspect this is one of those cases where converting from RGB to HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) before doing the comparison is much better.

        You’d want the hue to match rather precisely, whereas saturation and lightness can be adjusted as needed afterwards.
