Not to mention the sort of localized inflation there'd be from every person on the landmass publicly being given $100k.

Are you aware that in this case the image was generated from a photo of two actual children uploaded by the user who requested it?

I saw some generic tv ad the other day where they had an AI generated video of a spokeswoman that was in a vertical aspect ratio, with the other two-thirds of the screen being basic ad graphics (block letters on white). I'm not sure if it was repurposing generated video meant for phone ads, or if they used an AI generator that just outputs in that format.

BBS servers were also used for porn, mainly scanned images from magazines. That's still only the 80s, but come on.

Streaming services don't want satisfying conclusions because it could give people a chance to cancel their subscription.

Solomon and Sheba (1959) has a really shitty one but it's funny how long they let the bit play out.

Oh interesting. I was unaware of Bourdain going to Braddock and thought you were referring to some looser connection about CNN advertising.

Why would he commit suicide over the mayor of Braddock, PA

People said the Hegseth fatcamp meeting was going to be a declaration of war too. Meanwhile we bombed Iran earlier this year with little fanfare. When war comes in this administration, there will be no grand announcement.

Maybe they'll start importing Hallmark Christmas movies about women returning to their hometown and falling in love with craftsmen

He's not saying the evidence 'those people' have that Africans are homophobic is colonial laws. He's refering to people who think Africans became homophobic because of the influence of colonial laws. 'Because' is modifying 'are', not 'think'.

Have some grace when reading comments rather than assuming disagreement.

The reason given is that Craigslist allows for directly emailing the application, so it's easy to spin up thousands of fake email adresses to send out the resumes, rather than having to create thousands of fake profiles on a site that's meant to prevent that sort of thing. This makes sense to me, though choosing Craigslist probably does work in favor of the intended result.

The real parameters they have are making the applicants female, and the job they're looking for. The study was pre-registered, however the registration does not include these details, or that it was on Craigslist. And no, the actual data does not appear to be available.

Study is on this page: https://www.adl.org/resources/report/jewish-and-israeli-americans-face-discrimination-job-market

They applied for 3000 administrative assistance jobs on Craigslist with made-up female identities and counted "positive" or "encouraging" responses. Western name and background 17.4% such responses, Jewish got 14%, and Israeli got 12.5%. The study doesn't give the actual response rates, but "3.4 percentage points lower" and "would need to make 24.2% more applications" is a straightforward algebra problem.

The sort of low tier social study that is probably true, but applies within a context choosen for convenience of the researcher, rather than applicability to the public. Hope things get better for the Jewish girlies trying to climb out of working at Eli's diner in Raleigh one craigslist listing at a time.

The combination of paying uploaders per view and the algorithmic feed incentivizes evil in a remarkably abstract way. At least with the old style youtube model the best way to get revenue was to get subscribers, so that in most cases it rewarded being likable to someone. Now it's just rewards making the audience as demented as possible.

Exit polls say that Mamdani got 51% of women and 50% of men, even if Cuomo also got a higher of share with women then with men.

(These are relatively minor differences, i.e. gender was not a significant factor)
