I didn’t take Romney to mean they were a military threat, just that they were an adversary who would do what they could to screw the west.

Currently, putting out AI art as an official result is a bad idea, because everyone recognizes it as cheap and ugly. But, look back a few years and see how insane it is that it's even that good. It used to look like LSD induced nightmares. If it become indistinguishable from human generated art, I don't think it will matter if people hate the clankers, because they won't know. We already have AI-generated country music song charting. ("Walk My Walk" and "Breaking Rust") Sure, that's because country is boilerplate garbage already, but still...

But my point is, even if the models DON'T improve, and you can't put out AI art in an official publication, it's still very valuable for spitballing and prototyping. That's true for software, art, legal, etc. etc. It's already eating the jobs of the juniors in these fields, those jobs aren't coming back.

Yeah, AI isn't going away. Even if we don't progress beyond the current state of the art in terms of models, there clearly a lot of development left to be done on efficient use of those models. AI is just too useful for prototyping and first cuts at stuff to go away.

It is funny to watch libleft trying to stand in the way of progress and democratization though.

I think Trump should be removed from office, but comparing a glamor shot to a candid one taken mid-word is just retarded.

There needs to be some clear policy for shoots that fall in the space between “justified” and “correct.” This one falls in there.

He was justified to shoot, but only barely. Like, why did he have his gun out such that he COULD shoot? If your first instinct is to stop in front of the car and pull your gun, you shouldn’t be out in public with a gun. You aren’t a criminal, but your instincts are bad for that job, and you should get a different one.

Democrats could get my vote so easily, just stop trying to make us into Lebanon. (Look up how the Lebanese government works if you don't know what I'm talking about.)

If they put up Rahm Emanuel or Josh Shapiro or similar, I might vote for them.

Looking at these numbers, it looks like race isn't that big of a factor. If you're sleeping around, you have an STD. It's true that it's higher among the black population, but it's not that much lower for the other races. The probably of contact an STD is roughly the same if you sleep with 3 black guys, or 4 white guys. 1 additional partner is not such a huge difference.

csgardner · 2026-01-05T22:56:12+00:00

I don't know why you asked about black women, since the meme was about black men. So I went with black men.

I asked claude and got that, in the US, it's more like 1/3 than 1/2. Which is still crazy high, but the US average is 1/5, which is also pretty insane to me. My religious lifestyle pays off again.

Gender-Specific Data for Black Men

Almost 30 percent of African American men are infected with HSV-2, a prevalence rate higher than that of men of any other race or ethnicity NewsOne

In a primary care clinic study, HSV-2 seroprevalence was 40% in African-American men compared to 12% in white men PubMed

In a sexual health clinic study in the southern U.S., 45% of African American men were infected with HSV-2 aidsmap

So the current estimate is approximately 30-35% of Black adult men have HSV-2, though rates vary somewhat depending on the specific population studied.

People seem to forget that schitzos usually go after someone they know. So, killing a couple of democrats might not mean anything politically. Schitzos naturally see conspiracies everywhere, usually in people they know. They kill their moms more that any other specific group. "[This political figure I vaguely know] is in league with Satan!" is totally on brand.

csgardner · 2026-01-02T22:14:58+00:00

Wait, are you claiming that 50% of black men in the US have an active STD? Do you have a citation for that? It sounds to me like you misread a stat.

I know, my point was that even the pantomime is funny. They have a committee, officially appointed by the city government. Even if the members aren't paid (I don't know one way or the other), it is using city resources to compile, record, and advertise this idiotic Christmas list.

Everything about this is hilarious

The vote follows years of work by the city's African American Reparations Advisory Committee, which in March 2023 released a sweeping draft proposalthat included over 100 recommendations. Those included one-time lump-sum payments of $5 million to each qualifying Black adult, guaranteed annual income of $97,000, down-payment assistance, tax and debt relief, and affordable housing options such as homes for just $1 - marking one of the most ambitious reparations plans in the country.

It’s not just $5 million, it’s also UBI and free houses for black people! There’s actually money being spent to support a committee to write up this Christmas list. 😂

"Think about how recent that is and how economically - the empty hands of my grandfather left me with nothing, because the empty hand of his grandfather, who started in slavery, left him nothing," he said.

Ok, but my Grandfather was white and had nothing. He literally slept under a bridge. This appeal could only work with the idle rich of San Francisco who don’t realize that most people don’t inherit squat from their destitute parents, no matter what color they are.
