I might be daft, what’s the point of these artificial people?

So… They’re gonna leave it there???

Edit: and they don’t even know the species. It could be a new one for all we know

People can die of drinking too much water, I see your point but I die on my hill

Cue in vibe coders as participants for the next Master Cheff

ah fuck here we go.

Chatbots generate text based on human made text. If chatbots don’t like Trump, it must be because the source material espousing values that don’t match Trump’s policies and behavior is much more abundant than the source material praising it.

Two possible reasons:

1. Most people over the world belong to the category that doesn’t like Trump much therefore you see it reflected in the average output

2. You put your tinfoil hat on and you see the source material has been cherrypicked and the algorithms were designed by China-funded anti-american programmers

If we ever hear an outcome of this investigation, guess which one of the two will be

To add another layer to that, even if you believe in pseudoscience you should also have the basic understanding that absolutely anything and everything can be harmful if you exceed the appropriate dose. I can’t understand why most people don’t understand this

This is clearly not a showerthought, so…

😢

Pirate zbrush and try Nomad. I don’t have a tablet so I never gave it a go.

As for Zbrush, Maxon has done absolutely nothing of value to it since its acquisition. I purchased the perpetual license when it was still Pixologic and that’s what I keep using. I hear from industry professionals that I don’t miss out on absolutely anything new at all.

Wait, I’m in Australia, does that mean I missed out already on the second point thirty thing?

Imdb rating does it for me. Unless it’s something I want to watch regardless, I’m unlikely to bother with anything below a 7/10.

Guess I’m going to start stocking up on microwave popcorn packets. If there is no circus as a consequence of this company then I guess I’ll be stocked up for movie nights

Is this news? I thought these mites were already on beekeepers radars

But 2-3 car lengths? It really bugs me when they do it in a left turn lane causing a back up to the travel lane resulting in overall congestion.

This reminds me of one time I witnessed instant karma. I was driving behind someone doing this in crawling-slow heavy traffic, and got to one of those large intersections with such lanes. Here in Australia they’re right turn lanes, though that’s irrelevant for the story I wanted to share.

So right in front of me there was this car with at least four guys in it, loud music, and an imbecile on the wheel. I got stuck behind him on a single lane road with no means to overtake. He was driving somewhat below the speed limit for no apparent reason and leaving a massive gap before the next car in front. He still left a large gap when we both merged on a crowded multi lane road, and he kept that 3 car spaced gap at every red light stop. He would lag several seconds before starting to move, obviously not paying attention. I honked a couple times to nudge him.

One of those irritating assholes I guess.

Now, somewhere behind me on the lane to the left there was some other guy with a red convertible and an attitude that screamed “YES I’M OVERCOMPENSATING”.

We got to the intersection where the turn only lanes appeared, and the idiot in front of me was once again holding traffic as he lagged to resume driving. But the lane on my left, which continued straight, moved just enough to let the red convertible guy right beside the idiot. And then all of a sudden the convertible revved and zoomed right in front and across the idiot, cutting him off and overtaking him on the turn only lane, sliding right in that annoying massive gap he was leaving.

That was the only time in my life I celebrated such a douchebag move. The slow idiot went insane. Started yelling at the convertible, gave him the finger. The convertible was the last car able to turn on that change of lights so the idiot and everyone behind had to wait yet again for green, but I wasn’t mad. Watching the car in front of me shake with rage until the lights changed again made up for it. He didn’t lag once they went green again.

I think it’s the copying a.k.a. “stealing” or gathering data where the problem is. AI doesn’t and won’t censor more than what human authorities and general public already do.

But yes the closed circles or some sort of new technology is where it’s at.

This is true however often I only have a mug and a spoon or something like that which I don’t want to leave dirty in the dishwasher untill it fills, because bugs or whatever reason. Manual wash, it’s done in one minute

Yes, that’s the case. Good direction can turn the most banal story into something interesting, but that’s a rare trait, and on top of that shows and film are teamwork that also needs to answer to producers/investors/broadcasters interests and requirements. Keeping an idea fresh, with good pacing, and interesting taking all that into account is very hard.

I agree it’s highly unlikely. However, I’ve been rear-ended once, and my car got pushed forward the space of at least another car and a half, in spite of my panicked reflex of pressing the brakes as it happened. I didn’t crash into anything because I was first on the lane, I got pushed into the intersection.

So yes, you can get rear-ended and the gap in front of you will save you in money and insurance claims bs time if you don’t hit anyone in front as well as a result. It will make little difference regarding your ability to switch lanes though.

In saying that, I don’t leave this massive space in front of me. I stick to the “see the next car’s tyres” rule and if traffic is really packed (as during rush hour, when everyone crawls start stop) I sometimes reduce it to curb parking distance.
