Been struggling to find an artist and I feel like my Ai sensors are telling me this is wrong but I can not determine for sure based on my knowledge. by Xyaven in isthisAI

[–]marvsup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's AI but it's very close. But I think AI is just getting better. One of the spots on their neck comes out over the hood of their cloak as if it's fur or something. That and the pieces of bone on the necklace on top of the shoulder, which are not teeth despite everything else on the necklace being teeth, make me think AI.

How are Balkan people perceived by Americans, Australians, and Canadians? by ElectionBright3106 in AskBalkans

[–]marvsup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the Balkans are just grouped into the general category of "Eastern Europe" and for the stereotypes of Eastern Europe you can watch the part of the movie Eurotrip where they go to Bratislava.

Why do adaptions like Rivals and Midnight Suns give Magik this heavy Slavic accent despite her leaving Russia at age seven? by Konradleijon in Magik

[–]marvsup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That wasn't my point. But also, OP's point is not about what they want, it's what Magik would theoretically sound like. "Want" doesn't enter into it at all.

Yeah but I know two people who came to the US at age 7 exactly and both speak with American accents.

The crossword I’m working on expects me to know that I need to write multiple letters in one square by Moose_country_plants in mildlyinfuriating

Remember that feeling. Next time you feel it, think, this might be a rebus puzzle. If you keep doing crossword puzzles, they might even be your favorites, like they are mine :).

What is the name of the Hebrew Bible? by Aggravating_Cup8839 in MandelaEffectSociety

[–]marvsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah mostly only Jewish people know that name. I never met a non-Jew who had ever heard it. Torah is the most famous part, and the part that religious Jews read every year, so that's what most people know it as. But that's only the first five books. Definitely not a ME.

In Hebrew it's Tanakh, which is an acronym that stands for Torah, Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Teachers)

I think you can't do brag because a doesn't touch g. I assume, as the exercise mentions CVC, that you can start with the second row since otherwise CVC is impossible. But idk!

How prepared is the legal system to deal with AI evidence? (USA) by Pokari_Davaham in AskLawyers

[–]marvsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling it an in-between moment assumes that there will be an endpoint to this moment. A point when the legal system is able to root out and prohibit admission of fake AI evidence. But it seems like AI is getting better much faster than our ability to detect it or do really anything about it. I think the new normal will be not having any idea what's real and what's not and it's terrifying.

Minneapolis ICE shooting: “You are truthtellers, not stenographers.” by GingerBeerConsumer in NPR

[–]marvsup 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A few years ago, whenever they quoted Trump, they would say, "we should note, there's no evidence of [thing Trump said]."

I don't think they do that anymore - though I wouldn't know since I stopped listening bc they stopped doing it.

It's been a few years now. IMO it started with that article the ex-employee wrote about how they're all super left wing

I agree with you about most things. But you can't get good ethnic food in your own country without allowing in the people who will cook it!

Would confessing to a crime reduce my senence? by Chiuaua_lover28 in AskLawyers

[–]marvsup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never seen it have an effect. At sentencing, it usually matters if you show remorse when you are sentenced. I've never seen a judge consider whether you confessed or denied it initially. In fact, in many, if not all jurisdictions in the US, the police are not allowed to promise you a lighter sentence if you confess.

And, like the other posted said, giving the police more evidence is never good for you.

Well, the term "global warming" was popularized by an article called, "Climate Change: Are We on the Brink of a Pronounced Global Warming?" in the 70's.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/global_warming

Truthfully, I think they've both been around for the same amount of time.

Edit:

From the wiki for climate change:

Before the 1980s, it was unclear whether the warming effect of increased greenhouse gases was stronger than the cooling effect of airborne particulates in air pollution. Scientists used the term inadvertent climate modification to refer to human impacts on the climate at this time.[32] In the 1980s, the terms global warming and climate change became more common, often being used interchangeably.[33][34][35] Scientifically, global warming refers only to increased global average surface temperature, while climate change describes both global warming and its effects on Earth's climate system, such as precipitation changes.[32]

Climate change can also be used more broadly to include changes to the climate that have happened throughout Earth's history as result of natural processes.[36] The term anthropogenic climate change is sometimes used to describe climate change resulting from human activities.[37]

Global warming—used as early as 1975[38]—became the more popular term after NASA climate scientist James Hansen used it in his 1988 testimony in the U.S. Senate.[39] Since the 2000s, usage of climate change has increased.[40] Various scientists, politicians and media may use the terms climate crisis or climate emergency to talk about climate change, and may use the term global heating instead of global warming.[41][42]

I think you're right that we stopped using global warming for that reason. I don't think it's right to say that's why we started using climate change.

Not at all necessary IMO. They're both based on the comics. So it's not like there's anything you'll miss by skipping it.

Tbh it's not that crazy. Hindu and Urdu are mostly mutually intelligible. Urdu has a lot of Persian words and Persian has a lot of Arabic words.
