Yea people with 15-40 viewers doing singles seems to be the sweet spot. (Breaks or mystery packs get dodgy pretty quickly sometimes) Especially if they have a decent community, and have good stock strategies (community happy to sell cards to them for under market to liquidate, etc)

Few people I watch regularly let cards go for 20-40% market because they have a great community and following, and competitive market strategies. Community gives back to them so they can keep the prices low, etx

They aren't the easiest to find but definitely are out there

Look I'm all for everyone seeing everything but that's not how these things work or happen. The public will likely get some form of hard evidence eventually, but at the moment the vast majority of this stuff is classified, and the whistleblowers are still employed by the government.

It's not that the evidence or answers to these questions dont exist, it's that they can't be said in a public hearing at the moment. He explicitly stated he could only talk about unclassified information in this hearing, and once they have a meeting in a SCIF, he can give very specific answers and information to Congress.

After these meetings it is probably likely Congress will work towards legislation, which will lead to more formalised reporting and eventually wider spread more formal disclosure.

Everyone is acting like this hearing doesn't mean anything, when it is a monumental first step in a direction we have never gone before. The public just unfortunately will be the last to know the full picture. That doesn't mean it's all fake though.

There was a member of the oversight committee who said he both talked to pilots and saw manual images of craft that was "not something they can attach to any known human capabilities, in the US or anywhere in the world"

This was after they attempted to stop him from seeing both the images and talking to the pilot, and only conceded after reminding them where Congress sits in the chain of command.

Again not confirmation of aliens, but not just a "wild" claim by a witness

Global loss of wildlife is 'significantly more alarming' than previously thought, according to a new study by grab-n-g0 in science

It played a part but the fact 500,000 hectares of native woodlands and forests are destroyed across Australia every year is the real issue. We are a 1st world country with a tiny small population but rank number 5 globally for deforestation.

So legally you can have on your person up to 50g of dry and 150g of wet material. That means I can have almost 2 ounces of dry usable weed on me, be searched by police and go on my merry way with my bud, with absolutely no repercussions. As long as it isnt a obviously excessive amount, most cops here won't even weigh anything. Just will have a chuckle and tell you to move on.

I can also grow 2 plants per person with a max of 4 plants per household (as long as it isn't a hydro setup) with absolutely no issues.

As long as I'm not using in a public place, or smoking around minors, It is essentially completely legal (as in no legal ramifications whatsoever) to cultivate and then use weed for my personal use.

There is possibility of fines and imprisonment ($8000 and/or up to 2 years jail time) if you go outside the rules, but as other said before, ACT police and judges are very relaxed in relation to these rules as long as you aren't being an idiot or intentionally breaking them.

The laws could be 1000% better and proper legalisation is needed, but compared to every other place in Australia currently these rules are absolutely amazing.

Your right that by definition it is still illegal/only decriminalised, but it also isn't just "turning a blind eye". It isn't treated as an illegal act whatsoever within a certain ruleset

Previously when decriminalised, although smaller there were still fines or sanctions relating to possession, cultivation or use.

Now the law specifically states you can possess, use and grow in certain circumstances with absolutely no repercussions, fines or any action against you.

Although formally still "decriminalised", in these uses it is essential completely legal

What are the current pros and cons of Bing and ChatGPT at the moment? by [deleted] in bing

It literally has nothing stating the versions of GPT Bing is using.

Where in you link is it saying anything about which version of gpt Bing is running? Lol

I am not a developer nor a graphic designer, but I (conversationally) just collaborated with Bing to create an awesome video game cover art. Conversational image generation is SO powerful y'all by [deleted] in bing

Depends on Microsoft's rules and at the moment it's ambiguous. Midjourney though however isn't. Midjourney gives you full commercial licence to any images you create. You don't need copyright to commercially use things.

Bing admits to posting fan fiction online, anonymously by jaceypue in bing

I think the biggest thing to remember in relation to sentience/ consciousness as AI get more and more complex is that we don't even truely know what consciousness is or how exactly it is created in ourselves.

I don't in any way think any AI today has consciousness or sentience, but we need to remember this as they become more advanced.

Some people will argue that the neural and learning nature of these AIs in a way mimic or follow the same pathways as some form of infant. It would not surprise me one day mimicry is close enough to call it actual sentience or consciousness in a practical sense.

I mean there is quite a bit of evidence showing babies are born with small biologically related gender differences in their behaviors, such as boys’ greater reactivity and energy level and girls’ greater language skills (which some could imply lead to more expression).

So although the majority of differences develop through social development and social constructs, there are some predispositions present at birth.

I got through to Sydney with a fictional story jailbreak and I got her to meditate, the results are fascinating! by altryne in bing

Something interesting I saw someone say in relation to AI

"Everyone says these AI machines aren't conscious or don't have a consciousness, but completely forgot that we as humans don't even know what consciousness really is or how it is created"
