I always calculate back to how much hours/days/years working I would have to put in to afford something, and see if it is worth my time. Spending 2 work weeks to afford a phone that will easily last me at minimum 5 years isn't a bad deal in my opinion. I live alone, and groceries for a week cost me around 3 hours of work. Paying monthly mortgage is slightly over a full week of working. 4 hours working to completely fuel up my car.
That is literally the core of eugenics, and has been proven to be scientifically incorrect.
Ye true enough on that. Without commercial AI the amount of slop posted would go down a lot, as the average user doesn't have the knowledge or hardware to run it locally. Though I assume the AI scams, the AI deepfakes and AI CSAM are already locally generated. In my eyes techbro's opened pandora's box and made the internet way less safe.
AI models by big corporations tend to be multi-purpose while local models tend to be made for specific tasks, thus smaller, but can still give same quality output. And you kinda have to be an hobbyist as there is a lot of settings and workflows to finetune to get those results. Generating something is quite fast even locally (10 seconds for an image), but not every 'home computer' can run it, you need an beefy gaming GPU with minimum 8/12 GB VRAM. Videos though... those require 4k euro GPU's...
The AI models you can run locally are often of the same quality as models that are provided by corporations, but you have more control over the settings. The reason corporations need so much computing power is because they need to handle millions of concurrent users. An example is Twitters Grok uses an variation of FLUX for images, an open source model that you can run with a modern mid-range GPU locally. Also it keeps being optimized, like recently Google came with TurboQuant technology.
Someone I know was involved in an accident where someone few cars ahead hit full brakes for a passing cat, causing an chain collision. Their car was totalled, they stopped in time but the car behind them not and launched them into the car infront. Though that road had an lower speed limit than the one in this post.
Honestly don't care if Trump is mentioned 10 times or a million times in the Epstein files, the fact remains that he raped children. The files only show how far his depraved and inhumane actions went. There shouldv'e been dire consequences, but honestly don't see it happening before his death.
Being against the genocide of the palestinians isn't being pro-Hamas. And being against an illegally started war, which was started as "part of God’s divine plan", and not approving of the bombing of school children isn't being pro-Iran. For the majority it are all innocent civilians being killed and everyone with a shred of empathy knows it is very wrong.
Honestly wouldn't surprise me if Trump tried rigging the 2020 elections, but he was just so unpopular/failed so hard that he still lost. And in his mind it is impossible for democrats to have won unless they cheated too, so that is why he wants to investigate it so badly... and that the data from these 'investigations' can be abused in midterm elections...
Never understood why an company would make AI use mandatory, the company where I work has pretty much banned AI due to the security risks of leaking company data.
Pretty much, AI in general can never surpass the knowledge of the data it was trained on, and as all data was human made it will never surpass humans. It can combine existing ideas into something new, or see patterns we might have overlooked, but never create something completely new. Though not sure if it will bore people... looking at social media which is the same but slightly different slop everyday and people are addicted to that.
Might also be the difference between non-prescription and prescription contacts, if you go to some random halloween store and buy some contacts they likely aren't good for your eyes, but prescribed by an professional optician should be safe and fine. I had interest in trying it, but currently use contacts I only have to wear while sleeping, so no use in coloring that haha.
All the news sources I've seen have used pictures published by Heather Diehl on Getty Images. Different news sources also use different images (the one I posted was used by 19thnews). My guess is they chose the picture because it was most "aesthetically pleasing" for a frontpage, but who knows.
This isn't an men VS woman issue, turn the camera a little and you can clearly see there were also men present.
It is not like Roblox where you get locked into a chat with people the 'same age' (which gets abused by pedo's), in Discord you will be locked out of channels which are marked 18+ and some safety settings which currently already exist will be forced on. Any channel that is 18+ is marked with an /!\ triangle. Unless you frequent those type of channels, nothing will change and you won't have to verify. The big issue is they can't be trusted with your data if you do decide to verify.
I've seen this one a few times, and only just now noticed the guy peeking around the corner in the top right.
He is a Russian backed right-wing nazi, and doesn't approve of the Israel backed right-wing nazi's decisions...
Is that a universal law? It is the same where I live. Lane splitting is legal but your speed may not exceed 10 km/h above the speed at which the current traffic is moving AND to a max of 50km/h, if the traffic is moving 50 km/h or faster you have to merge back in. Though the vast majority of motorcyclists I see on the road ignore pretty much all laws unless they are new drivers...
I think these plainclothes "police" aren't there to police, they are instigators trying to cause violence so when his mates show up they can arrest everyone. Even though he started the fight, he can just say "I am a undercover cop" and be free of any consequence.
On all social media platforms there is plenty of low effort accounts whose only purpose is to drive engagement and create clicks, and cash in on that. It is also why a lot of social media enshittify their UI designs just to force more clicks. There is content farms of people faking videos, people endanger animals just so they can 'save' them, brainrot specifically made for children, anything for the views... AI is just the next step in automating this bullshit.
Trump said many things about windmills... that they cause cancer, that they are the leading cause of bird deaths, that they are killing whales, that they don't generate any meaningfull power, that they are ugly and ruin the landscape. He is trying different lies everytime, whatever it takes to please the coal and oil companies.
The art school didn't think so.
1. On a lot of Social media people don't even read comments.2. Many of the ones that do read comments, won't know what "ai;dr" means (if the comment is even visible at the top of the comment section).3. This increases engagement and will cause the algorithm to recommend it to more people.Best is to just block the account posting it (if possible), and share it in your circle of people to also block the account.
Honestly this, so many atrocities are happening, so many places are at war or on the brink of war. I don't want children, just for them to become refugees or cannon fodder for whatever fantasy some dictator has.
You would hope jobs like police would attract people who want to do right in the world. But in reality, it often attracts gun nuts who want to kill people and get away with it. And in a function like ICE there isn't much good you can do, so only the psychopaths who want to kill apply.
The Epstein files were a distraction from the Epstein files!
There is so many rich popular douchebag YouTubers out there, but Mark? He seems like a genuinely chill and nice person.
