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
US President Joe Biden said Wednesday he still believes Chinese President Xi Jinping is a dictator, even as the two leaders made progress in their relationship during a meeting outside San Francisco....
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
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
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)
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
my property is now worth 5x what it was worth when I bought it… in today’s money. Adjusted for inflation, it’s not nearly as much
Are you under the impression that the US dollar has 5xd from inflation since the 90s? Lol
Seriously, I don’t know what reaction you’re expecting here - if you’re finding that being a landlord is a shitty way to make money, then… Stop? Sell the apartment and invest in something else instead of whining about how badly landlords are mistreated lol
they have the power and wealth to affect a lot of day to day life regardless if you’re ignoring it or not.
This is true, but my opinion of both of them is already rock bottom, so why spend time listening to something that’s just going to make me frustrated, while not actually giving me any new info?
Thanks for the suggestion, but pass - it’ll just make me mad at both of them for no reason. I don’t need insight on their ego, I already know they’re both narcissistic pieces of shit who think they’re saving the world as they burn it down
When I was in college for a CS degree, just about every single classmate I asked said they were planning on going into game dev, when you have entire graduating classes all gunning for the same positions in a relatively niche field, you can pay peanuts and still fill roles
The ability to jump forward and backwards in time has long fascinated science fiction writers and physicists alike. So is it really possible to travel into the past and the future?
One thing to keep in mind is to think about what kind of person actually participates in polls, and how that type of person will tend to lean politically (hint, old retired people)
That being said, fascism has happened continuously all throughout history for a reason. people like it when they think it’s on “their side”. A lot of conservative voters genuinely think America would be a better place if the democratic party was forcibly eliminated, and so they’re not only fine with what Trump is saying, they’re enthusiastic about it.
Combine the human tendency for populism with decades of conditioning from outlets like Fox News that conservatives are the only “real Americans” and that the “radical left” is hell bent on destroying their lives, raping babies, and turning their sons into daughters, and you have a large population of voters who genuinely think that democracy is bad if it means “the other side” gets to win.
Many Fascist movements start out with enthusiastic support from at least a large chunk of their population (Hitler was elected), by the time people realize that fascism only ever actually benefits those at the top, it’s too late
Because when supply chains got fucked up during COVID, they raised their prices for legitimate reasons, and found to their delight that people kept on buying, and In fact, because people were panic shopping, and stuck at home bored, they actually bought more.
So when things calmed down, instead of lowering prices, they continued to rise. because if they didn’t, they’d be making less profit than last quarter (which is unacceptable)
Combine that with the wage stagnation that’s been going on for decades and a housing shortage and you now have an economy where people can’t afford rent, food, or basic goods
