  • Interesting point, but the middle part where they attack AI users is maybe a bit too long.

    I definitely agree with the "when I find out its AI art I feel deflated" feeling. For me it is the lack of intentionality that makes current AI models worthless slop and stops it from being a proper tool, like the magic wand described in the post. No AI user can generate the same thing again. Thereby it is not their skill that created it, but random chance. What differentiates an artist is that intentionality. "If I put that paint stroke here, it will look like an eye brow" or "if I press that key for 4 seconds now, it will accentuate the following notes". When you can create parts of the artwork that intentional, then I agree that AI is a tool for artist. Before that it's just gambling and trying to present other peoples work (the training data) as your own.

  • I like checking what kind of Euros I get, but never thought about purposefully taking coins with me. You convinced me to try it next time =)

  • Well fuck you for insinuating 2005 was 20 years ago. No need to be so hostile!

  • Thanks for the answer and taking the time to write it down!

    Someone in your family if I may ask?

    No, nothing like that, at least as far as i know. I just find it in a certain way terrifying how much we can change without even realising that change happened at all.

  • If you feel comfortable answering: did your dad show aggressiveness before or was it a completely new trait and behaviour for him? Because if the second: new fear unlocked.

  • Interesting idea, never thought about it. But I don't think the sellers would like to put that information out into the public. Many things, for example also tax related, doesn't incentives sellers to openly report such information. Except if it is a publicly traded company, than they must report it in their reports.

  • No, the sellers already have the email address, that's how they ask for reviews. It is simply the way the current internet works: reviews are king, but if the bought thing works as expected most people don't leave a review, while people with problems are much more likely to leave a bad review. So sending an email asking for reviews is cheap as hell and one of the easiest way to boost their reviews, because if even only every 10th person leaves an "everything is fine", that boosts their numbers immensely. And after 1 or 2 weeks, chances are that the big draw backs and failures didn't manifest yet. So also increasing the good to bad review ratio.

  • I found that distinction before, but can't say it's true to my experience.

    I got 2 glass items with PYREX (so the apparently good stuff) and one broke when a glass blower (and it was somebody who really knows what they were doing, 50 years in the business and I worked work with him often before) tried to modify it. He also said that something was strange, that should not have happened, if it was true PYREX stuff. Then he checked the second glass item for internal stress and showed me the result: it was bad. And the broken edges of the first item also was a little bit green, so according to the glass blower some iron oxide in there, which also shouldn't be there.

    So my experience was: PYREX with all capital letters (and saying "made in France") did not protect me from buying stuff of lower quality.

  • Yeah, like where some people were exaggerating that if elected Trump would start concentration camps, disregard the rule of law, destroy American alliances and brown nose Putin. ... Oh wait.

  • It's interesting to see the data though.

    And I remember hearing about one german company, that sells a system of normal batteries for short time storage and electrolysis/fuel cell for long time storage. In summer you generate the H2 and in winter you use it up when the solar batteries are empty.

  • Please don't do that!

    Most printing uses ink which is not exactly healthy and bringing it in the ground where the paper disintegrates and leaves the ink mobile is not a good thing.

  • Well yeah, you will have GOG achievements instead, duh.

  • Ah thanks for explaining it, I understood it exactly backwards.

  • Did you mean decrease? Otherwise that whole universe is pretty much completely dead

  • I mean, you could simply search for

    Greece 13 hour

    And then you get search results like this that proove that yes the Greek government indeed tries to push for 13 hour days.

    I'm honestly a little stumped why you think that this is so strange, there were already multiple articles about it in July.

    And maybe there is misunderstanding between mandatory 13 h days and being allowed to work up to 13h? They push for the second one, but that just means that the companies will force those in bad jobs to work even longer.

    Nobody is working efficiently and effective for 13 hours. That is simply not possible

  • Blaming only? No. Having part of the blame? Yes.

    Obama didn't really change the direction the USA moved because he didn't really help poor people and challenged the power of companies and billionaires. This helped put more unsatisfied people in trumps camp.

  • He succeeded in what he set out to do: give a nice face to American imperialism.

    And I admit, Obama had charisma and was a proper statesman, in stark contrast to what came before and after. But most policies, with single exceptions like Medicaid, were standard neoliberal bullshit. And he didn't stop the machine from going to where it is now, which is his biggest failure in my opinion.

  • That's the part I don't understand, it specifically isn't even an orgy! So why join???
