    I don't think they care, as long as it becomes a shadow of what it was.

    And if it succeeded and made them money? Who are they to complain?

    It's a win win in their books.

    I don't Musk even knows he's being played as the fool.

    You say that like the Saudi's aren't cool with taking Twitter down. It was the cause of a lot of strife and issues during the "Arab Spring" years.

    I suspect they're overjoyed it's tanking.

    It's what the courts think, and right now, it's not clear what the enforceable laws are here. There's a very real chance people who do this will end up in jail.

    I believe prosecutors are already filling cases about this. The next year will decide the fate of these AI generator deepfakes and the memories behind them.

    Mesh networks are severely limited in terms of mbps/throughput. They also use their own throughput channel to communicate and sync with each other, further reducing available bandwidth.

    They also can introduce a lot of latency and packet loss if you're into gaming that needs to be taken into consideration.

    They have a purpose and a use, but if you want to get the benefits of modern internet speeds, you should set up a wired network and only use wireless protocols for small, difficult to wire, devices.

    I'll add to the other answer saying most STI tests don't check for it. It's worse than that.

    Even if you get it checked, you need to check for IGG and IGM antibodies. Usually they only check IGM, which only stays in your system for roughly 3 weeks after an outbreak. IGG antibodies are the ones to check if you're not in an active outbreak, but they take roughly a month to show up after the first outbreak you have.

    Yeah, they imprisoned a Chinese UFC fighter who said he could beat any traditional Chinese martial artist because their kung fu doesn't work in the real world.

    They agreed to set up the match and when he, predictably, beat the living shit out of the spiritual mumbo jumbo guy, over and over again, they claimed he intentionally dishonored China and tried to lock him up.

    My guess is that it exploded and caused a mess. There's no way that held together. Pringles cans are literally made out of paper thin cardboard with a little bit of glue holding it all together.

    Furthermore, he's really only talking about the Shakespeare interpretation of that, which took plenty of liberties with the historical accounts.

    There is absolutely no record of him ever saying that. In fact, the opposite is true. We have accounts that he was mostly just screaming and crying in pain the whole time and didn't say a damn thing.

    It's depressing how right you probably are about how companies are going to cope with this.

    Reminds me of that quote: "If Conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject Democracy."

    But, like, apply that to Capitalism and Capitalists rejecting Capitalism in favor of Socialism for them.

    Generally agree. but the line work here looks exactly like line work for tatoos on skin. If it was drawn on, you wouldn't have the green bleeding out and in to the line work. That happens because the colors are mixing sub-dermally, just below the surface of the skin. This is generally because your fill needles are huge bundles of several needles and they always tend to bleed into/under the black line work. That's why you need extremely thick, well defined lines so it can hide the color fills bleeding through. In this case, it looks like some of the color got through.

    The white as well is pretty spot on for white inkwork. That's the white color you get only for the first few months of a color tattoo.

    Honestly, I think this is legit.

    Could be wrong, but it looks real.

    Source: I have many, many tattoos over much of my body, and several in color with white accents that looked exactly like this for the first few months after it healed.

    Oh, 100 percent right you are. Definitely not saying clueless corporate idiot bosses aren't going to try and replace their workforce with AI.

    But I am saying that it won't work for them after they do that. They're going to crash and burn here, and have lost that talent and expertise within their company so there's no replacing it, except slowly over time.

    We're a long way out from that fortunately.

    Not saying that some jobs won't be cut/lost, but the companies doing that were likely looking for reasons to downsize.

    AI models do not replace competent UI/UX. That's just not what they're designed to do. Very different functions.

    Not sure I agree with all of his points, but it's a start that we're at least publicly acknowledging this as the end of an era (for good IMO)
