as much as i dislike Ubisoft, i'd really rather Tencent didnt end up owning the whole gaming industry.
i have an old flsun super racer delta printer that i really like. it's about 5 or 6 years old now, but it still cruises along like a champ. only drawback is that deltas are tall machines by comparison to other printers.
the best practice is to keep your dhcp pool and reservations from overlapping, but on a home network its usually easier to let a device acquire an ip via dhcp and then create the reservation for that address.
the bank doesn't care, but musk does. cashing out some tesla stock to pay the twitter loans hits him twice so he wont do it except out of desperation.
twitter is losing revenue and cant pay the principle on the loan. nobody will buy this debt from the banks that issued the loan because twitter is a sinking ship. the great majority of elon's wealth is tied up in tesla stock, so if he sells any the value of the rest of what he holds goes down because the sale effects the stock price... basically nobody is solvent enough to repay the loans, so the banks that issued the loans are stuck with them instead of selling that debt to get it off their books fast.
its not even about spotting AI images being passed off as real. it isn't hard to simply seek out AI generated content when i want to look at it and avoid it when i don't. you make it sound like it's impossible to make choices about what content to consume, or that everyone is out there trying to pass off AIgen as real to the point where you can't trust anything any more. we're heading in that direction but we're not there yet.
i truly hope you're right. enforcing copyright offenses for downloaders is an absolute waste of everyone's resources regardless of who pays. piracy is a market force, and the corpos need to just acknowledge that.
and by the same logic, you cant know if i have or have not been duped by an AI image. thanks for asserting expert knowledge of my perceptionsl capabilities, but you'll understand that i am extremely skeptical of that assertion. based on how i consume media, the likelihood that i have been exposed to AI generated images without my knowledge is pretty low. but do continue to tell me what my experience of the world is .. its kinda hilarious
ISPs just don't want to be made to police copyright offenses for free. if the RIAA/MPAA paid them money to aid in enforcement, you can bet they be doing it in a heartbeat.
This is basically me. almost 50 and just got an ADHD diagnosis and was told that i very likely have ASD as well.
Im not sure if i should pursue an ASD diagnosis or not... i feel like it makes a lot of sense in retrospect, but once i am medicated for the ADHD i dont think i will need a lot of support for the ASD. just knowing that it is likely has already helped reduce my anxiety, which is why i started therapy to begin with.
anyway, i feel like the consensus is that if you feel like you belong here, you belong. i have seen nothing but positivity and support while browsing this community.
i suppose i cant disagree with the premise... but to clarify, the AI is equivalent to a paint brush or phototshop... a tool used by the prompter to create (extremely derivative and hacky) artworks. i have seen a lot of very expressive works generated by AI, where a concept thought up by the prompter is expressed to humorous or sometimes grim results. but every AI image i have seen has tells of being AI generated.
feel free to file this comment under the heading "old man yells at clouds" , but it is just kind of comically dystopian to talk about concepts like "losing shoe functionality" or having features of your shoes bricked. it makes me laugh in an "otherwise i'd be crying" kind of way
they ran out of boxes, not nuggets
wow, i thought it would be a while before someone had the chutzpah to out-greed Battlestate Games. I definitely need to stop giving these corporations the benefit of the doubt. but of course, the culprit is Riot.
the problem is that the AI misrepresents those results it's summarizing. it represents things that were jokes as fact without showing that information in context. i guess if you dont think criticaly about the information you consume this would be handy. i feel like AI is just abstracting both good and bad info in a way that makes discerning which is which more difficult, and whether you find that convenient or not, its just bad for society.
spotify is a terrible company. at this point i feel like they have brand hostages rather than brand loyalty. i dont know anybody whos actually happy with the spotify experience any more.
in this example, its like disabling the firewall and plugging directly into the modem with no router. in that case, there's no local network and no router firewall in place. wrt ports needing exploits, that's correct. the thing about that is that there are definitely exploits being used in the wild that we dont know about. Microsoft's May security update fixed 3 critical vulnerabilities that were being actively exploited. sophisticated attackers use exploit chains, where one vulnerability gets a foothold then others are deployed in a way that circumvents most common security measures inside the affected OS to gain admin rights. so in short, the scenario you describe is not as implausible as you think it might be.
I'm sorry, but disabling the firewall makes this a wasted exercise. ANY computer connected directly to the internet without a firewall will get infected. Even PCs with modern, up to date OSes.
I just came across a post from a community hosted there and was debating blocking the instance. i probably will. i don't see any benefit to the content on that instance, but i also dont want to presume that everyone shares my views.
