I love this petty fatalism, like more immigrants voting is the apocalypse and the Republic Party can’t possibly just… accommodate that? And adapt?

Same with a 51st state.

If they don’t like it, well, they can lose more elections.

Good.

All this bill would have done is given OpenAI/Anthropic and such an effective monopoly (and probably destroy the planet with their insane scaling schemes) by destroying the open model ecosystem. I think fediverse vs. corporate social media is a good analogy, and this is kinda like sniping the Fediverse because it’s “too dangerous” if it gets too big, without actually being specific on how to deal with that, but actually sniping it because its a competitive threat.

And yes, OpenAI opposed this, but that was lip service. Don’t believe a word that comes out of Altman’s mouth.

If its our area (Flordia coast)… that’s not a problem.

Buyers don’t care. They don’t know squat about flooding or hurricanes, they just come in from out of state and get dazzled by the realtor and the weather and everything and buy.

Our housing market was so crazy houses were being auctioned left and right. Market value just keeps going up, even on the coast.

TL;DR if the area is superficially attractive enough, home buyers are idiots. I realize this is probably not the case in Georgia mountains, but it his here, and its enabling a vicious cycle where builders keep building homes in obvious flood zones, where they absolutely shouldn’t.

This is stupid and I hope he gets his butt handed to him, but:

A federal judge agreed with the Office and contrasted AI images to photography, which also uses a processor to capture images, but it is the human that decides on the elements of the picture, unlike AI imagery where the computer decides on the picture elements.

Journey outside the world of API models (like Midjourney) and you can use imagegen tools where " the human that decides on the elements of the picture"

It can be anything from area prompting (kinda drawing bounding boxes where you want things to go) to controlnet/ipadapter models using some other image as reference, to the “creator” making a sketch and the AI “coloring it in” or fleshing it out, to an artist making a worthy standalone painting and letting the AI “touch it up” or change the style (for instance, to turn a digital painting or a pencil sketch to something resembling a physical painting, watercolor, whatever).

The later is already done in photoshop (just not as well) and is generally not placed into the AI bin.

In other words, this argument isn’t going to hold up, as the line is very blurry. Legislators and courts are going to have to come up with something more solid.

Isn’t that a massive security risk?

Like, what if the U.S was using Roscosmos satellite links in drones? I’d certainly be raising an eyebrow.

Maybe so… but I feel like this is one of the biggest mistakes in the post WWII order. Imagine what things would be like if the UN had more teeth (and no security council)

Why would people want to be on Twitter for posts like this?

It’s like joining a real life club where the more of a jerk you are, the more speaking time you get.

“You know this war we’re slow-walking? That we keep almost negotiating a ceasefire to? Yeah, let’s keep sabotaging that, and start another war, just in case.”

I also kinda sympathize with American allies looking on from the outside now, as the U.S. is going to no doubt unconditionally support this, because… yeah.

I’m really shocked at how many people (apparently) shell out for onlyfans, subscriptions and such.

I swear, I’m the only sane one, not the only insane one.

How to turn your country into North Korea, 101.

I like how much it obsesses over your post’s engagement metrics. I feel like that creates toxic incentive’s, but… shrug. What do I know?

Same issue here.

I think it’s just a temporary issue, but I really will stop using Reddit if old.reddit.com goes down. There are niches that just aren’t on here… but that UI.

I’m sorry, but Democratic leadership, the Washington Post, and the New York Times are not “right wing.” The last Republican presidental candidate thje NYT endorsed was Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956.

They’re right wing to you and Lemmy, but Lemmy is not the center of America’s political compass. And I’m speaking as a rabid DJT hater who votes straight ticket Democrat, bar one primary I registered republican in just so I could vote against DJT.

Because gun violence is more of a risk than ever.

Honestly I would feel better with the sniper there, so they could stop random nut who shows up with an assault rifle. Which is really sad.

It says center and center-right outlets have a left bias

Which outlets, specifically?

She endorsed Biden before. It wasn’t really a surprise.

Is this why everyone is downvoting the fact checker? Because they don’t like it saying their preferred outlets have a bias?

The Guardian does have a left bias, its pretty obvious. That’s not a bad thing.

It’s still everywhere in my news/internet diet.

It’s bleeding, for sure, but it’s big. Its gone bad. But I think its premature to say its collapse is a good thing, because it just won’t go away.
