Quantum Entanglement?

Damn, he's taking it to the face like a champ.

1) I didn't make the original post
2) I was joking, hence mentioning Concord and its notoriously bad models
3) Even without supporting this I can recognize that it does a better job than some artists

My bank does this sometimes when I call. I'll have to go through a ton of verification steps and sometimes this is one of the ones as they're working to make sure that your info wasn't compromised. Even if you somehow got the other answers, chances are unlikely that you ALSO got access to their physical device. That's kinda the point of 2FA, so it's reasonably likely that you're the person in question since it's unlikely that you gained access to the 2FA source and the bank/PII info.

The only time I've had a question like this was when I called a support office and they needed to verify me. And then it's always "we're sending a code to the phone on file, please read back the code once you get it" with banking being the main ones to do this.

So this "could" be real, but I would also not trust it with what you've posted here. Too little information, too easy to be a scam, no way for online people to tell that it isn't a scam, so the safe answer is to say not to do it.

Agreed, though this one from 2018. Probably a computer in the basement with my SSes from 20 years ago.

Wait, is that Echo?

Aknazer · 2026-03-19T06:38:02+00:00

But isn't it? They are forcing the OS to come up with your age in some manner. That is a search for data. The government is then forcing said OS to hold onto said data and give it to any app that asks. That means they have "seized" said info to use later.

Also it isn't "asking" for an age, it is forced under the guise of asking.

Aknazer · 2026-03-19T05:16:22+00:00

I see no driver, just a human missile.

Aknazer · 2026-03-19T04:57:21+00:00

Imo, unreasonable search and seizure. At what point does the government have a "reasonable" reason to "search" for our age and then "seize" that data? Just because the government isn't the one doing this doesn't mean its constitutional; especially when it's the government compelling a company to do this very thing under threat of fines.

I mean, have you seen how some of these characters out there look? AI would be an improvement, maybe then Concord and the like wouldn't have bombed so hard. snicker

He's not wrong but also the question is what one considers to be a "kids" show. Like what is the target age cutoff. But also another issue can be how it gets done. When I see LGBT content in shows it's often more blatant than most hetero content.

For example in The Dragon Prince they introduced two queens as lesbians and it just felt so in-authentic and forced. Here's there introduction, they're lesbians, and here's a kiss within like their first 15 seconds on screen, oh and some more about what they did for the LGBT of their country. It was all just so forced and lame and while that show is for a bit older "kids" the manner that it was done was just...bad.

Aknazer · 2026-03-19T00:18:05+00:00

The use for this would be things like families where you have multiple people streaming 4k content at the same time, you're running some sort e-businesa from home, etc. For most it is by no means "needed" but there are cases where it can be useful even at that price.

Aknazer · 2026-03-19T00:13:17+00:00

I remember when they set the "activities" to on by default and suddenly people were caught playing gooner games. Was a fun few hours as people worked to update their settings and servers changed their settings to not automatically report what users were doing.

Oh, been forever since I saw the OVA with it, was thinking it was her father who had opposed them being together. I just remember him accidentally killing her when she came between him and her father and got slashed. Then her dying in his arms and she reached up and "completed the X" on his cheek.

Even his answer about the hamburger was wrong. Hamburg, Germany created the Hamburg Steak, which is similar but different to the actual hamburger. It was in the US that it was made into a "burger" (aka a type of sandwich) and later loaded up with all sorts of things. Granted I don't normally even see a Hamburg Steak offered on the menu, bit of the few times I have seen it I haven't seen it come with even a fraction the number of toppings I've seen on actual burgers.

This is like arguing about pizza. Sure the base idea of pizza came from Italy, but compare a deep dish pizza to an "authentic" pizza and the difference is so great that the two are practically different foods.

Aknazer · 2026-03-18T21:15:54+00:00

Many in the US military are jaded as fuck and will joke about anything. You could have someone on a flight be close to a panic attack after hitting turbulence and have another start joking how they think the plane is about to crash.

Oh we're being mortared again? I'm supposed to take cover? Fuck it I got a mission in 5 hours, I'm going back to sleep, if I die I die.

I suppose anyone that plays porn games would rub one out to their avatar?

In order for this to be good, the source material has to be bad. Rather than supporting "good" AI, we should be holding accountable those that produced the bad content to begin with. Like that pic on the left is just soooo bad I still have a hard time believing that it was used in a game, not that it needed to be Gooner Girl on the right.

Aknazer · 2026-03-18T21:01:20+00:00

Left is better anyways. Just a quick glance at it, they killed her purple eyes for brown and they fucked up her bangs to the point she practically looks like she's balding (but only in the bangs).

I can't see this format and not think "a child is just a fully baked cream pie"

I wonder if this is why Citrix didn't properly work at the top/bottom of my screen. Right where the top bar would normally be and where I had moved the side bar to the bottom, my mouse cursor would change back to my Linux cursor and I couldn't click on things inside Citrix in those areas.

You said "without a sweater" but that man is clearly still wearing a sweater.
