A product you were just talking about pops up in an online ad. How? Advertising algorithms are so good that they may know what you want even before you do. C...

You are right, but it is very simple for phones to convert spoken word to text and sending text information back and forth is very lightweight on data usage. So it's not happening, but it could happen.

New vaccine strategy eliminates need for boosters:

"RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised"

  • "one and done" approach
  • targets a part of the viral genome that is common to all strains of a virus
  • tested in mice

Details here...

What was the last Adam Sandler film that you watched? And when? And why?

I watched that Herbie Halloween movie and that pretty much put me off of Adam Sandler for the rest of my life.

It's not that his movies are intrinsically bad, just I as a movie consumer have phased out of his Target demographic.

I think AI replacing artists is going to be a good thing in the long run.

Right now, if you want custom artwork made without the use of AI you have to either criminally underpay an artist on Fiverr or pay an artist hundreds of dollars to make one piece which you may not like.

I think the cat is out of the bag on AI generated art pieces and there's no way to put it back in, and so future artists will use a combination of their actual art skills and their ability to work with an AI system to create entirely new and currently nearly impossible art pieces, and there is an entire field of unexplored possibilities waiting to be tapped by Future artists.

AI can't make new art.

All it can do is repurpose pieces of art other people have made, just like Auto-Tune can make you sing on pitch but it can't make you a good singer.

I agree with this. AI cannot make art, but it can make fragments that an artist can use to make a mosaic, and the mosaic is art.

What's more correct:

A) She was choosing what band's t-shirt to wear.
B) She was choosing what band t-shirt to wear.

@ZachWeinersmith

The first one says that the band is the more important decision. The second one says that the shirt is the more important decision.

If it were that she had one t-shirt from multiple different bands then I would go with A, but if she had multiple t-shirts of the same band and needed to pick which one of the designs she wanted to wear I would go with B.

You know what really pisses me off? When people append โ€œageโ€ to random words, like:

โ€œShall we go get some foodage?โ€

orโ€ฆ

โ€œIโ€™m heading out for lunch to get my steppage up.โ€

Just use the proper fucking word. You sound like an idiot.

I donโ€™t know why this particular trait annoys me so much, but it does. ๐Ÿ˜‚

My verbal pet peeve is when people pronounce Target as tar-zhay.

Target's not fancy.

It's Walmart for people that make above minimum wage.

@Nemo I could see Thor losing a hand and then chopping off the bene gesserits head with the ax held in his other hand.
