Others said it's spyware, but they are also loan scammers.
I honestly don't know what data this browser exfiltrates, or what else malicious it might do, but I don't trust anyone this shady to run proprietary code on my devices. Scammers rarely respect any kind of boundaries.

These image generators don't have much in common with terminators. I think the more relevant part is that he's really into expensive cgi productions.

I know it's dominant, but it just sucks. To go back to the previous analogy, Whatsapp should have a monopoly on communication as much as BMW should have a monopoly on transportation.

The main event here was pretty interesting, but I'd just like to say that
It asked me for my name and Whatsapp mobile number.
Why not just the mobile number. Do they also operate drive-ins that only accept BMWs?

I had low expectations before, but Starfield killed them completely. Starfield actually helped me get over worrying about TES6, because I just lost interest.

Didn't think of that, good point.
The inbreeding could also affect larger decisions in sneaky ways, like how it wants to compose the image. It would be bad if the generator started to exaggerate and repeat some weird ai tropes.

I would expect some kind of small artifacting getting reinforced in the process, if the approved output images aren't perfect.

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/24704051 > The San Francisco Chronicle reports that police in Oakland, California, and other places, have been obtaining warrants that allow them to tow Teslas that may have been parked within close proximity to local crimes. In many cases, police will get the driver’s permission before they access the data inside the vehicles. However, on rare occasions, when police feel the information needs to be gotten quickly, they will simply use a court-ordered warrant to tow the vehicle and empty it of its necessary evidence. > > The Chronicle reports that the warrant-and-tow method has been used by Oakland police in at least three instances over the past two months. The cars’ external cameras, paired with its sophisticated network of sensors, can prove particularly helpful in solving cases. In one recent case in the city, a woman was shot and killed after a group of men pulled guns on one another and began shooting. Police took advantage of video recorded by a nearby Tesla to aid their investigation. Ultimately, two men were arrested several weeks later and charged with murder, the newspaper reports.
