Screenshot of whatsapp messages

Not clear if the leak is the real deal or some photoshop work...

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Photoshop? Isn't this the type of stuff an AI can spit out in 3 minutes?

[โ€“] DavidGA@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Photoshop has an AI tool now, so at least we can still keep calling them โ€œphotoshopsโ€.

[โ€“] sboulema@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

Yes there are a lot of web apps that generate whatsapp conversation, so fairly easy to do

[โ€“] BURN@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It looks like it could be photoshop, or even maybe a catfish? Nothing can be said for certain, and Iโ€™m sure every F1 journalist is pouring over it trying to validate the existance

[โ€“] coffeebiscuit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

And where is the โ€œhe should lose his jobโ€ evidence?

[โ€“] Jozav@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Weird: file 6 is JPG screenshot. Other screenshots are PNG. Phone changed in between? Or faked?

[โ€“] Darthjaffacake@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Good spot but it looks like the jpg is a camera photo whereas the pngs are screenshots, so maybe the phone just uses different formats for each. (Although I'd expect the opposite normally)

[โ€“] Jozav@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nah. I have now seen the full images. It is definitely a different phone with a different OS. She probably has two phones, one private, one company. Not unusual.

[โ€“] IamAnonymous@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

File-6 is a screenshot and itโ€™s jpg

[โ€“] t0fr@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Guess things are about to get started in the court of public opinion

[โ€“] kbal@fedia.io 32 points 1 year ago

I rule this easily-faked collection of whatsapp screenshots from an anonymous source admissible as evidence on the grounds that if you were going to fake it, you'd probably make them spicier than that.

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

Oof

Like for real, I have no idea who has the right position in the relevant actions themselves.

But it's obvious that outside of those allegations, there is a power struggle going on within this company.

[โ€“] TheMalWare@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago

Don't think the pics are fake at least, he's worn that same polo before

[โ€“] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

This stuff never goes away. Funny thing is that obviously RBR thinks it does.

[โ€“] Ptsf@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately for potential victims this type of evidence is becoming less and less meaningful as generation becomes trivial.

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Going from the rumours, RBR doesnt think that. RB's majority owners (the ones with the guy who killed someone and didnt face the consequences) do.

[โ€“] fidodo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I think their complete lack of transparency is back firing. Do we even know what the accusations are?

[โ€“] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The point was that we shouldn't, because the public has a tendency to jump to conclusions and condemn people without even seeing the evidence

[โ€“] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It doesnโ€™t matter because the Thai owners of Red Bull do not care about this whole controversy so as long as Horner stays on their good side heโ€™s good

[โ€“] SatouKazuma@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

And lawsuit in 3...2...1...?

Link already deleted or is it just me?
I thought X is all about free speech and stuff?
