These days, some AI’s biggest dangers come not from its omnipotent successes but from its clown-show failures
Let’s face it, if we’re going to assume that intelligence is at work here then “failures” like this indicate AI’s hatred for biological life forms. If that pizza emoji represented conservative ideology in some way, @beschizza himself would have created the same thing.

I used (2013’s) SmillaEnlarger, which uses some fractal stuff to enlarge (author: “The used algorithm is an invention of my own”), which might default to Lanczos with certain parameters? But I think Lanczos would be cleaner.
EDIT: I couldn’t resist and redid them with Lanczos. I was right to never delete anything!

If the computer program you wrote lies in court it’s not perjury, it’s a “glitch”.
