A lot of bots would lose their jobs if Twitter shut down. Think of the computers!

In some cases, lost son is gained daughter.

Yep the subversion here is that the comic itself is AI-generated. So the humor is based on the misdirection of the speaker and the fourth wall break.

The fact that a lot of people missed this means the quality of AI images (in some cases) is finally approaching human levels of quality, further emphasizing the shock of the speaker.

Arguments about whether or not it’s ethical aside, that is really quite the technological achievement.

But legality hardly matters for the rich

I haven’t heard of Inzoi but it doesn’t look the realistic graphics are going to be the winner for something like a life sim game. Too much uncanny valley.

I think Paralives looks to be the stronger competitor in the future.

They might go to war against the leaders within the country instead. Trump is really playing with fire here, messing with the gun-toting constituents of his.

It was never supposed to be evidence. It was supposed to be an excuse.

It is possible to get AI images copyrighted if they contain portions that are edited by a human. For instance, this year InvokeAI copyrighted an image that was completely generative, but used extensive inpainting, by arguing that the human decision process was a necessary part of that work.

I personally disagree with that ruling (but then again I disagree with the concept of copyright altogether).

Yeah it’s pretty much a requirement for a new space company to crash their first rocket. At least that’s my default expectation. Space is crazy hard.

You can keep 1 hour time zones just fine. It still puts noon within 1 hour of mid day, which you don’t get with DST.

Animation is a totally different beast than still images, of course. Almost all AI video is complete shit right now.

The results showed several significant differences between people who used saunas regularly and those who did not. Sauna bathers were generally younger, more often male, and more likely to be physically active. They also smoked less, although they tended to drink alcohol more frequently—typically two to three times per week. Despite this, they reported better overall health.

Exercising more and smoking less seems to imply that it might not be the sauna that’s actually helping. I am not sure why they aren’t trying to stamp out these confounding variables instead of celebrating them.
