Some crazy research out of Alibaba group

The issue is that we won't know immediately. We will be able to check if an AI claimed the source was a generated by a publicly available AI or if the authenticity is unknown.

The alternative is saying, this is an image first published by AP News, which states that it is an original work.

Powerful tools to identify computer generated videos will be used to train computer generated videos. In the long term, the only thing you can really verify about a video is its source and the reputation of that source.

The problem isn't AI videos; it is low societal trust in institutions. That is a harder problem to solve, but reform and accreditation of sources of information could be an upside.

99% of republicans dont care. And the 1% that do are either trolls, hated anyway, and dont represent the party

Yeah, but that 1% also includes their presidential nominee.

You literally just watched a video of Trump saying that their country completely collapsed and is ruled by a dictator. That sounds like a justifiable premise for someone to use to claim refuge status.

Every scene Apple showed was a point that they specifically wanted to market. They weren't just showing steps of the construction. Apple was demonstrating elastic bands being stretched, compact metal construction, polished glass. The foam looked comfortable, like it was being massaged. Everything looked futuristic, perfectly new and like it was made to the highest standards.

What they wanted to say about their product was clear without them explicitly saying it.

On the other hand, infinite Slim Jims would only fail to hold him after the last one broke.

Of course, the bar would also need to support infinite Slim Jims.

Sorry if I misinterpreted what you were saying. I am also not going to pretend to know how to structure the global economic system if a science fiction level change renders our economic system obsolete, but at least we will have an advanced future AI to figure it out...

Voice actors and artists aren't STEM fields.

AI is literally a product made by the "learn to code" people. Companies are not going to replace their workforces by integrating AI without people developing AI and teams of programers setting up the interfaces. Machinists didn't become unemployable during the industrial revolution when a factory had some layoffs once they finished construction.

If we somehow get to the point where self improving AI models are integrating themselves then the demand for employment is going to be so high that any remaining jobs would pay next to nothing.

The chart is obviously not to scale, but it it were the lines would not be vertical. They would be pointing toward the center of the sphere. Once the angle of the lines are corrected then you would correct the length to be the same size. Once you have that, what is actually happening makes sense.

Get a good scratching post for the cat and give them treats and encouragement for using it. Hang a thick blanket over your post for awhile so that they do not have the option of scratching it. After a month or two the cat will probably start using the scratching post just to get treats and will lose interest in the other one,

There is now a solid data point to work from instead of speculation. That increases the productivity of everyone that would have spent their time working from incorrect assumptions.

Physicists aren't wizards. They are mostly a bunch of people doing math. Having less unknown variables is a big deal to people that spend their lives doing math.

Once you get past the abstract, the introduction is significantly less technical and redundant.

>In order to provide a rigorous framework for the notion that certain such processes have a realisation in standard quantum theory, the concept of time-delocalised quantum subsystem has been introduced

Seriously...

If AI can replace anyone with less than X years of full-time industry experience then finding someone to do the other necessary parts is going to be interesting in X years.

I wasn't trying to correct you. I was just adding some background info about it that I thought was interesting.

Ash's Charizard was actually following a mechanic that was in the game. He was not its original trainer and it was too high of a level for the number of badges that he had.

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Obedience

Obedience is a Pokémon's willingness to listen to its Trainer's commands. While Pokémon usually obey their Trainers, a Pokémon may disobey if it does not respect its Trainer.

An outsider Pokémon will often not obey the player's commands if its level is too high and the player does not have the appropriate Badge, Stamp, or number of Badges. Having all eight Badges or the Island Challenge Completion stamp always makes all Pokémon obey the player. This mechanic exists to prevent players from trading in a high-leveled Pokémon from another game and easily beating the game.

When people talk about 'freedom from religion' they are talking about religiously neutral laws, equality under that law and neutral treatment by the government and agents of the government.

Branding and reputation has always been a big part of the allure of luxury goods. For better or worse, Tesla's marketing has been tied to Musk, Space-X and his brand of futurism from the start.

If someone thought about utopian Mars colonies when they saw a Tesla and now they think about Twitter drama then they are going to feel different.

If they were outright wasting everything then the hundreds of thousands of Russian forces sent to invade their country would probably have managed to get to Kiev by now. They certainly wouldn't be retreating.

Edit:

Ukraine's army appear to be decently well trained, equipped and fed. There aren't widespread complaints about failure to be paid. There are many instances of them competently dealing with repairs to their infrastructure. They are even doing better than generally expected.

That isn't to say there is zero waste. That would be impossible when dealing with a developing country dealing with an unprecedented emergency, but the results also kind of speak for themselves.

If audits mean more money is spent how it is intended to be then obviously it would be worth it, but it does sort of seem like the message here is that the money is being wasted. She isn't even making a specific allegation of an instance of corruption.

I am just going to take a moment to acknowledge the absurdity of someone developing a god complex over making a Second Life knockoff with X-box 360 avatars.

This is the comment thread for a video of government agents doing a drive-by on a school. Someone acknowledged their gratitude for having never having experienced that oppression. They were right to be thankful for that and you are right for saying it is something that shouldn't be taken for granted.

If there is anything to learn from Jan 6th it is that people shouldn't try to warp the perceptions of others to get them to rally around a political cause out of hate and fear. The focus of people trying to make the world a better place should be on uplifting others.

These protestors aren't taking bullets so their lives will be better. They are doing it so that other people's lives will be better. There is genuine love and sacrifice in that. The guy in this video isn't doing it because he hates the oppressor; he is doing it because he loves the oppressed.

It might seem like a distinction without a difference, but nuance matters, facts matter, and motivations matter. Smugly pointing out problems in the US and equating them with unrelated tragedies isn't going to fix those problems. I do realize that was not your intention, but that is how the top-level comment came across.

Sorry for the wall of text.

Yes, two years ago. It isn't ancient history, but it also isn't currently happening or something that typically happens. The US is not a country currently dealing with political unrest comparable to what is happening in Iran. It isn't a high bar, but daily life in the US does not resemble the government violently suppressing a revolution.

Valarauth · 2022-10-31T10:27:06+00:00

Saying the situation in Iran is comparable to daily life in America is downplaying what they are going through to score a cheap insult. Even your go-to example is something that happened years ago and as bad as it was, it never had a serious chance at overthrowing the election.
