Obviously. I mean, even when AI could not do fingers (and today they are mostly fine), you could simply recreate the picture until you had something usable.

Having a picture like this and the over the top "negative/positive points" is done deliberately.

The future does suck. I think that's mainly because all progress we made in productivity goes straight to the ultra rich.

Just think about what these billions of dollars could have done to our lives... We could have eradicated hunger and poverty, have a new golden age for humanity and science. Instead we have popstars in space and oligarchs controlling the politics.

Without a new 'French Revolution' that gets rid of the parasites, oligarchs, 1%, billionaires we will never get to a good future.

Why don't the Democrats try to impeach him over this? I know it won't pass with the Republicans in charge, but at least it would show that they tried to make things right.

They should try it and try to get Republicans to vote against Trump - I know it won't work, but at least they should be forced to publicly show their colors as minions of a dictator.

There should be a impeachment trial for each and every time that traitor breaks the law. It's the least they could do.

Well, the female friend basically said 'I am so hot anyone I want (for example you) would love to have me as a girlfriend'.

By denying that, he denied her self worth.

Of course, her stance doesn't take into account things like personal preference or matching personalities.

Trampling on the soul of America? Someone hasn't paid attention to American foreign policy... America was often on the wrong side of history. This is just the latest, and in my opinion one of the worst, tragedies supported by the US.

Well, it's even expensive underwear: the devil wears Prada

He was flushing down evidence. Discriminating papers and the like.

And because he is a toddler incapable of distinguishing between himself and other people he thinks this is a general problem.

What we need is a police force of negotiators and social workers.

A police officer should only get a job after a mandatory time spent as a social worker and a expensive study of law and peaceful conflict resolving.

Before that: no weapons and no authority.

Also accountability: every bullet and every taser use has to be explained. Cams 24/7 on the job, disabling them should be a grounds for immediate expulsion.

Oh and of course, cops should no longer be above the law.

I think this would also scare away a lot of the people who become police officers for the wrong reasons.

Yes, I believe it could be possible to have good cops - it's just not possible under the current system. Hell, the current system is a deterrent to good cops.

I don't get how so many people carry their computer illiteracy as a badge of honor.

Chatgpt is useful.

Is it as useful as Tech Evangelists praise it to be? No. Not yet - and perhaps never will be.

But I sure do love to let it write my mails to people who I don't care for, but who I don't want to anger by sending my default 3 word replies.

It's a tool to save time. Use it or pay with your time if you willfully ignore it.

Of course, it's basically a communist idea from even before the Russian revolution.

To answer your question: since corporations aren't allowed to own more than the buildings they work with, they could not buy foreign real estate - except for facilities or offices they really use.

I don't think I know all the answers, it was just a interesting idea I read a while ago.

As far as I know it was never implemented, so weather it would work out or not is just speculation.
