Yeah, a lot of people are still COVID vax zealots, despite everything. It's become part of their identities, like political affiliation or religion, so even questioning it is a form of "blasphemy" to them.

Reasonable people know not to trust pharmaceutical companies or politicians, but even then, so many had a blind spot for the shots, likely due to fear (both existential and social) and propaganda.

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad. Palestine leadership may not be great (or even good), but at least they're not actively carrying out a genocide.

That's crazy talk. You should put that idea on ICE.

True, many people would have that problem, which is why the context in which the video was shown was acceptable; it was after the verdict had been given.

But that's what she did. She was upfront about the fact that it was an AI video reciting a script that she'd written.

So it would've been equally bad if instead of a video, she'd just read a statement she'd written in his voice? Something along the lines of:

My brother isn't here to speak for himself, but if he was, he'd say blah blah blah

Why not? It wasn't used to influence the trial in any way; it was just part of the victim impact statements after the verdict was rendered.

We bought our own pope! Now we can inflict even more suffering on the poor!

USA! USA! USA!

No doubt it's weird, but it was also a genuine attempt by a sister to speak for her beloved brother. I think it's beautiful and a perfect example of the importance of keeping an open mind, especially regarding things that make us uncomfortable.

Oh, I agree that it's creepy and something that could very easily be abused. But in this case, it seems to have been the right move. Whether the dead brother would have approved, we'll never know. But the living sister seemed to earnestly believe he would have, and that's enough for me.

What makes it immoral? Nobody was hurt in any way, physically, emotionally, or financially. They disclosed the use of AI before showing the video. It even helped the perpetrator get a smaller sentence (IMO prison as a concept is inhumane, so less prison time is morally right).
