Yes, though we have been on edge for deep fakes for a good while now, and remain constantly impressed at how well cheap-fakes and simple manipulations work. Deep fakes are the caviar of the trade, when McNuggets work just fine.

V-day 💝. As promised, here are some 🔥 notes about psychotherapist @EstherPerel. We'll focus on the podcasts for now because her books deserve their own threads.
1-sentence summary: Esther is a modern-day relationship & love wizard. How does she do
Let's start by posing a question I love, one I heard Esther ask a couple who desperately wanted their relationship to survive,
"Are you prepared to mount a little inner revolution?"
So twitterers, are you?
The thread will be broken down into 5 sections:
• Why the Esther 😍?
• How to criticize
• How to argue
• How to listen when the body speaks (aka nonverbal communication)
• Skillful therapy (observations & Esther's commonly asked questions)
• Uncategorised quotes I love
Before we jump in, a quote from @interintellect_'s Esther salon 🔥
"Love is a form of information sharing. You create a circuit of information between a partner & you, + you keep digging in deeper layers. There is an infinite amount of beauty to discover in another person" -Anna
~ What's Fascinating About Perel?
Mostly, I want to be her.
Couples come to her when they're stuck. She unfreezes them, moving them from stagnant to flowing.
Why is she so good at it? That's the question I'm trying to answer & the reason I can't stop analysing her sessions

Might mess around and make a thread of all my Esther Perel notes ahead of this salon.

1/OK, data mystery time.
This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE
That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.
Let's check this number.
2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".
The report is available here:
3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.
The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.
4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.
Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A
It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.
That estimate is from 2012.
5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.
I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.
