But then who would finance the production of television programs?

There will always be tasks that people don't want to do, and they will require compensation for motivation.

It already does

How is the compute getting paid for?

tonyn ,

It's already a thing and AI knows about it. And yes I get the original reference.

This wouldnwork better on smaller scale, less traveled rural routes. Maintaining a whole ass train for a few dozen people is overkill. I kinda like this.

Just waiting for them to reinvent light rail

Yeah, my nearest grocery store is a 1h15m walk or an 8 minute drive.

This has been happening since AOL.

Happy Mother's Day

Sorry it's not going the way you expected. That happens. I hope you can spend some quality time soon

It already looks really bad

I'm sure Edge is exempt, and will continue to switch itself to the default browser whenever it feels like it.

Midjourney Accuses Stability AI of Image Theft, Bans Its Employees (80.lv)

According to a recent tweet shared by AI enthusiast Nick St. Pierre, the alleged theft occurred last Saturday. It is claimed that employees from Stability AI infiltrated Midjourney's database and stole all prompt and image pairs, an action that also caused a 24-hour outage. In response, MJ reportedly banned all Stable Diffusion...

Only if your prompts are boring and dull. The more details I add to my prompts, the more unique of a look I can achieve.

A payment is compensation for a debt, and a donation is a gift. The word pay is often used when the compensation is compulsory.

Cybertruck engineer pushes back on claims that Tesla EVs rust in the rain — “It's surface contamination only and can be cleaned off easily.” (www.businessinsider.com)

Cybertruck engineer pushes back on claims that Tesla EVs rust in the rain — “It's surface contamination only and can be cleaned off easily.”::A Cybertruck engineer, Wes Morrill, addressed claims Tesla's truck rusts in the rain and said the specks of rust were the size of a "pinhead."

Stainless steel which has been sufficiently alloyed with Chromium won't rust. The chromium reacts with oxygen at the surface and forms an inert layer preventing oxidation of the iron in the steel. Cybertruck's stainless steel simply doesn't have enough Chromium.

Cut one of the thirds in half, and have 1/3 + 1/6

Because you can compress video without reducing the resolution, codec, or frame rate. When a camera records two green pixels: it records (green pixel) (green pixel). When the video is compressed, it changes to (two green pixels) which takes up less storage space but retains the same information. Compression is computationally expensive, which is why cameras typically don't do it on the fly.

How to constructively protest against AI voice transcription at work?

As a medical doctor I extensively use digital voice recorders to document my work. My secretary does the transcription. As a cost saving measure the process is soon intended to be replaced by AI-powered transcription, trained on each doctor's voice. As I understand it the model created is not being stored locally and I have no...

Stop using the digital voice recorder and type everything yourself. This is the best way to protect your voice print in this situation. It doesn't work well as a protest or to educate your colleagues, but I suppose that's one thing you can use your voice for. Since AI transcription is a cost saving measure, there will be nothing you can do to stop its use. No decision maker will choose the more expensive option with a higher error rate on morals alone.

Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck (www.engadget.com)

Last year, two Waymo robotaxis in Phoenix "made contact" with the same pickup truck that was in the midst of being towed, which prompted the Alphabet subsidiary to issue a recall on its vehicles' software. A "recall" in this case meant rolling out a software update after investigating the issue and determining its root cause....

That pickup truck was asking for it I tell ya. He was looking at me sideways, he was.

Probably burglars jamming your wifi

What if there are no winners in any wars?

Do you mean like Yacy?

I have a Canon Color LaserJet scanner/copier/printer for documents, and a large format Canon inkjet photo printer. Aftermarket toner, aftermarket ink, and they work flawlessly. I did a ton of research for both. I would never buy an HP printer.

Social animals like us invent ethics. It all comes down to what most people find appalling vs what most people find acceptable. A lot of that comes down to empathy. How would you feel if it was done to you?

tonyn ,

Just put the porn on the government websites. Problem solved.

Because he used mspaint to change it to PH colors
