What fresh hell is this?
(Needless to say that, no, I did not embark on a solo sailing journey from Ireland to Portugal in 2018 and get shipwrecked in the Atlantic.)

Well, at least now I know how I’ll be starting my next talk :)

@aral but it's on the Internet so it must be true!
Aral Balkan
@rooftopjaxx *smh* :)

Not even sure what to do about this. When some AI makes up a bullshit video about you and posts it on YouTube as fact… Do you get it taken down? Do you leave it up as a prime example of how AI (capitalism) is destroying the Internet? Do you laugh? Do you cry? What do you do?
*smh*

@hyde Oh yes, that other “tech entrepreneur Aral Balkan”… the one with the pet giraffe… I know him well.
🖋 ~hyde
@aral Maybe there is another Aral ... 😅
Aral Balkan
@aud Would require having a Wikipedia page :)
Asta [AMP]
@aral@mastodon.ar.al sounds like you edit your Wikipedia page about your daring tales of derring-do on the high seas.

@danslerush I mean, sure, I don’t have a Google account any longer so I can’t comment there.
(The joys of corporate silos masquerading as public space.)

@aral If you need some support/reports by us don't hesitate ... at least comments under the video ?
Aral Balkan
@vincib Thing is, I’m not even sure this was targeted. I can very easily see how it could be automatically generated based on a combination of popular search terms to drive views.

@aral wow :/ that sucks in so many ways.
Sending support from France.
if I were you, I would ask YT to take it down.
Oh, and I'd be laughing: having people embarked in trying to kick you so weirdly is a sign that you are doing good stuff :)
Aral Balkan
@sarajw Is it bad that it’s the misuse of the apostrophe that really gets me?
Sara Joy :happy_pepper:
@aral That's super weird! They posted it to TikTok too. Also... Mysteries. 🤦
Maybe some weird quirk happened because you're named after two seas?
Aral Balkan
@Tak Indeed.
Tak!
@aral That really sucks, now imagine all the women trying to deal with deepfake porn
Aral Balkan
@noodlejetski AI knows best :)
noodlejetski :verified_gay:
@aral that's what you think.
Aral Balkan
@m2m Thanks :) @danslerush
Simone S
@danslerush @aral I too have a garbage account, and just reported the video.
DansLeRuSH ᴱᶰ
@aral I still have a "garbage" account ... I comment and report

@aral “However, tech entrepreneur Aral Balkan didn’t escape completely unscathed. He was left without any memory at all of the maritime ordeal.”

@aral Obviously you pitch your now much more exciting life story to a hollywood producer and take the payday.
Aral Balkan
@daswickerman Or at least a good opening for a talk on the sewer capitalism has made of the web :)
