True, but Its 100% possible for us to get knocked back into the iron age, and if that happens, there's a very real chance we won't be able to climb up again.

Easy to access sources of a lot of the resources needed to rebuild a modern civilization are gone, the only reason we can get to the remaining deposits is because we already have the advanced equipment to extract it. It's entirely possible that if we get knocked back down the tech ladder, we may never climb back up again

After a month of hanging out and talking constantly lol

Even if she thought he was straight and was interested, she would have been totally in the right to write him off as not interested and move on

Some people will worship anything Bethesda puts out, even when it's mid at best

It's one of those things that sounds dumb at first glance, but actually has a lot of sound reasoning behind it, read up on it more if you're interested

This is 100% it, there's already so much "bad" footage out there that no one is going to change their mind about jan 6 if more comes to light. But they're hoping to find a few clips that make it look good that they can play on a loop on fox News

The way it sounds right now is "AI generated faces don't have all these artifacts 99% of the time" (I'm paraphrasing A LOT, but you get what I mean.)

The only way it sounds like that is if you don't read the article at all and draw all your conclusions from just reading the title.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure many do just that, but that's not the fault of the study. They clearly state their method for selecting (or "cherry picking") images

I don't know why people (not saying you, more directed at the top commenter) keep acting like cherry picking AI images in these studies invalidate the results - cherry picking is how you use AI image generation tools, that's why most will (or can) generate several at once so you can pick the best one. If a malicious actor was trying to fool people, of course they'd use the most "real" looking ones, instead of just the first to generate

Frankly the studies would be useless if they didn't cherry pick, because it wouldn't line up with real world usage

Yeah, I agree it's pretty cringy, but I don't see how anyone else is negatively impacted by some lonely souls using it

In what sense is modern China a communist country?

[–] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

It's insane how normalized it is that the leaders of our country work half the year while pulling in salaries (and I'm just talking about their actual salaries, not the millions they make from shady shit)

Meanwhile most of them would scoff and call you naive if you advocated for a 4 day work week

And idiots going to the ER because they didn't wear their seat belts just raise premiums for the rest of us (or increase the tax burden in countries with socialized Healthcare)
