(If you are out of the loop, that's okay! Kyle Rittenhouse is a chud kid who is on trial for murdering two protesters and injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin in the aftermath of protests over a police shooting that paralyzed Jacob Blake, a black man. There is a lot of news about the case circling around right now because the trial is ongoing.)

      “iPads, which are made by Apple, have artificial intelligence in them that allow things to be viewed through three-dimensions and logarithms,” the defense insisted. “It uses artificial intelligence, or their logarithms, to create what they believe is happening. So this isn’t actually enhanced video, this is Apple’s iPad programming creating what it thinks is there, not what necessarily is there,”

        what a bunch of bullshit, too. phone cameras have ~12 MP sensors and they only need 2 MP of resolution for video, so you can "zoom" quite a lot before you start to lose detail. even so they don't use "AI" upscaling

        I had a math teacher in high school who banned calculators and insisted we learn log tables instead. My entire life has prepared me to mock Kyle Rittenhouse
