Religion today is voluntary, at least in most of the world.
You often don’t have the autonomy to not participate in religion as a child if your parents want you to.

It seems like people are so eagre to bash AI that they’re willing to invent their own narrative to shit on anyone who remotely sounds like they support it, even if that’s not the case.
I appreciate you actually taking the time and effort to read.


He specifically asked Copilot which percentage to set.
Ah, I see. That’s not at all clear from what the article says:
In the video, the influencer activates Copilot with the “Hey Copilot” voice activation and then asks it how they can increase the font size via Windows Settings.
Perhaps the original video has what you’re talking about.


Aura quickly manually sets the scale to 200%, which solves the problem but isn’t what Copilot actually suggested…
Isn’t that what almost anyone would do?
I’ve seen some pretty silly AI blunders before, but this one seems rather harmless. You’re still going to end up at the setting you need to change to solve the problem, which to me falls squarely in the “close enough” bin.


I definitely get where you’re coming from. NieA_7 was my first thought, which is another yoshitoshi ABe work. There is something cozy about his work, even though it can be intensely emotional at times.


Change the T to a P then an E, maybe even a Z, and then we’re in the right ballpark.


Sadly, that doesn’t disqualify him from holding office.


The future of this elegant and proven system was put in jeopardy last month, when Google unilaterally decreed that Android developers everywhere in the world are going to be required to register centrally with Google.
[…]
If it were to be put into effect, the developer registration decree will end the F-Droid project and other free/open-source app distribution sources as we know them today, and the world will be deprived of the safety and security of the catalog of thousands of apps that can be trusted and verified by any and all.
Just quoting a few key excepts here, but the whole thing is worth a read.
EDIT: I used Photoshop’s AI to fully corrupt the plate. Nothing kills text harder than AI.
Ahh, that makes more sense. I was trying to understand why only the licence plate looked AI generated. Either that or why it’d have “Valencia College”, distorted “Arizona” and something resembling Hebrew script.
Yeah, I was a bit strategically ambiguous, because there are edge cases that could really make it go either way.
Most victimless (or self-victimising) crimes should be legal.


There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!
Just dropped by to make sure this comment was here… twice.
Best I can offer is an upvote and comment in these trying times, fren.
You might want to check out Mother’s Basement on YouTube if you haven’t. He’s got a great series called Hottest Trash Anime which goes through all of the current seasons more baseless series. He goes over their strong points, and potential audience, and it’s all done in a pretty creative and entertaining format.
I will admit, I didn’t end up watching anything off of it last season, so maybe we are going through a bit of a drought.
Y’know I was genuinely surprised by it. Like the concept is certainly rather suspect, but then it turned out to actually be quite lewdly wholesome.
I haven’t read the manga yet, but I suppose I should. I might save it until I go up another grade level or two in my Japanese studies, though.
I find some of the stuff listed here is borderline not ecchi. I might risk some criticism here, but for me ecchi needs to have some aspect of sexuality as a core theme, not just coincidentally have thrown in a bit too much fan service.
If you want to try something a bit more adventurous, then Interspecies Reviewers is definitely one of the better ones. Also, Gushing Over Magical Girls was quite decent as well.
