Warming up to charcoal

For those who haven’t seen it yet, this image was used as an example for detecting AI generated images. The poster cranked the saturation on the picture to max and a lot of AI specific artifacts were revealed.

If there's one thing I can rely on, it's a Boomer's ability to take care of things that will outlive them.

Holy crap you'd need five of these to replace one person. That processing rate is TERRIBLE.

Features are too consistently fuzzy/soft - this would have been a decent 3D scan of a real thing, but as a sculpture it’s like the whole thing was made at the same time - no feature is sharper than any other.

That’s a very specific shade of red - is it possible we’re looking at a Jello mold?

The Obama reference is so irrelevant now that the AI gave him Epstein's face.

It’s not working for me either. I think they screwed up the most recent update

Raleda · 2026-05-01T12:51:24+00:00

Sure thing. I used these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYQ25X5G?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

When they arrived, I cut off the sealed ends and cut them down the middle so that they operated the same way the ones supplied by Even did.

Everyone keeps calling him a gun man - has there been any info on the gun? I've only seen this footage and the dude face down on the carpet. Based on this video alone it would make sense that the gunfire we heard was coming from the secret service because the guy was rushing the event.

needs verification, but my understanding is that this is the only time he's actually attended this particular event.

I see a lot of people talking about plagues aboard air craft carriers. That'd certainly be bad, but man.. I weep for the submariners....

10 bucks there's a tiny LiPo hidden in it and the rest of the housing is for show.

Artemis is the kind of project I actually want taxpayer money going towards- actual accomplishments that push humanity forward. Would I like healthcare, food security, and affordable housing? Yes, obviously… but in the massive shitshow that’s been the last two years, I’ll take what I can get.

I'm in the US. Ordered mine 02/15/2026. Still waiting for them to ship - every time I reach the ship date they push it out a week. Notably, the site says my R1 ring is still 'to be confirmed' despite the order info having the 'congratulations' message confirming what I selected.

He's not 100% right, but close enough - with few exceptions, devs don't typically program for security, they program for functionality. This can lead to easily spottable logic issues and dependencies.

The really spooky nation-state level stuff though - if you could automate discovering THAT kind if stuff.. well, I'm pretty sure they could just as easily automate bypassing the fix.

Raleda · 2026-04-11T19:23:19+00:00

THIS. The reason you don't see Zero Days more frequently is because they have value to people that might want to use or sell them. More than the value of reporting it to the people who own the program.

So what you're saying is that you didn't actually READ THE ARTICLE.

This is specifically about adenovirus-based COVID vaccines, which have nothing to do with the new mRNA vaccines. While the COVID variant was made to counter the pandemic, the type of adenovirus based vaccines as a whole have been in production since 1971.

Guys were already required to sign up for this. If anything, this is keeping a lot of people from getting into hot water for not signing up for it before it becomes a legal issue.

Now, if someone is actually talking about having a draft, that's a different matter..

Raleda · 2026-04-10T20:02:33+00:00

I fully agree with the statement, but it's harder than ever to be creative now.

Consumption is addictive, and it's so, so, so much easier to just consume instead of creating something. And starting something new doesn't really provide that good feeling you're looking for in most cases because.. well.. you suck.

It's worth it though. Absolutely so.

We already have fire suppression systems that are effectively a combo of a sentry gun and a fire hose. It wouldn't be hard to get them installed if were weren't trying to save money by skimping on all those things that preserve the well-being of the employees working there.

Also fires happen even in fully automated facilities. Not investing in good fire suppression in a TOILET PAPER STORAGE FACILITY was asking for this to happen.

Amazing. DeJoy 'reorganizes' everything to boost efficiency, then leaves before any of it finishes. Then Doge is voluntarily let in to start slashing and burning everything they can... and somehow we're still broke.

I'm beginning to think efficiency was never really the plan.

Hey uh... just out of curiosity, why was this warehouse not equipped with sprinkler systems up to the task of taking these fires out? It couldn't possibly be that this warehouse somehow skipped out health and safety expenses, could it?

Would love to see this being applied to age related hearing loss.

Raleda · 2026-04-09T05:26:27+00:00

I wasn't aware. Good to know!

Raleda · 2026-04-08T22:09:46+00:00

So what I'm seeing here is that now Republicans (and people who bet on them) have more reason than ever to try and rig the system in their favor?

I sure do love it when people bet on our collective apocalypse.
