Dentist accused of fatally poisoning his wife asked daughter to create AI deepfake of mom asking for chemicals

It's sarcasm, my dude.
Lemmy is even worse than Reddit at picking up sarcasm hah. Even my local Facebook group is better at it, which is wild
-
I thought they were serious, too.
I mean he was caught asking his daughter who is also describing her mother as her best friend to cover for him with a plan that was likely to fail to begin with. That's not the plan of a mastermind. Actually the opposite.

Right over my head... Need to make some coffee
No worries, enjoy your coffee.

I'm not sure that's true. I observed more sarcasm without the need to flag it (/s) compared to reddit and I like it. My post are often sarcastic (probably a coping mechanism, the world has gone crazy) and I wouldn't be a big fan of flagging them as such: "Hey look, I made a joke. Now laugh and press the upvote!"

I agree with you, but OP didn't make that explicitly clear; being a total stranger and given the number of people who unironically promote everything from long-debunked conspiracy theories to outright lies, I do not see why anyone should assume somebody is joking rather than in earnest.
You're welcome to infer that OP is being sarcastic, but they haven't made a comment on the matter either way.

I mean it definitely has been my experience that even the most blatant sarcasm and jokes is taken straight here more than even on Reddit. Facebook varies a lot ofc but if granny gets stuff easier than this place, something is off haha

I get you point. I guess I'm a simple man. OP made me laugh. I expect because of sarcasm. If he actually thinks the guy is a mastermind I'd have to laugh even harder. In any case, I enjoyed his contribution to this community. Nevertheless, you point is valid, especially with topics that are more complex.

I saw a Lemmy mod mistake an obvious A Modest Proposal reference for a serious call to start eating children.

i'll never understand what is going through these guys minds when they can just get up and leave
it makes no sense to me
He was in debt, cheating on his wife and had six kids. Clearly not making a lot of rational decisions. That being said, divorcing the wife would have cost him a ton of money. Especially if his wife didn’t know about the debt and his affair came out in the divorce proceedings.

Either that has happened to more than one people or it was literally me that happened to hah, but on my lemm.ee account (RIP)

AI Utopia, AI Apocalypse, and AI Reality: If we can’t build an equitable, sustainable society on our own, it’s pointless to hope that a machine that can’t think straight will do it for us.
