"See, Hamas does the same thing we do. We are justified in the wholesale slaughter of women and children, this is a just and righteous genocide."

You can't just go around beating up Isrealis because they're from Israel

I'm mostly correcting you. That was not why they got beat up.

Although I never think violence is an appropriate response, it's hard to find fault in someone that punches a nazi. I hold the same opinion for all pro-genocide groups.

I feel like they did the equivalent of watching it burn, as the fire department. Gaza was a fire they could have put out, they let it burn. They were making headway on climate change and then promoted fracking at the debate. Biden was clearly going to be a problem but they just let it burn until it was a mess.

We have to be vocal. People want change. We can't have another election where the dems run on "at least we aren't pouring gasoline on it like the GOP".

They don't need pity, their feelings don't have to be protected. We can be harsh with them.

If you take the rocket and let it sink into the ocean, you don't even need fuel.

If we don't hold then accountable, they will never change.

The campaign was weak, they waited too long to switch off Biden, they kept the genocide going and didn't offer any hope.

People that didn't vote suck but there's enough blame to go around. We can have an honest discussion on how fucked the dems keep acting now that's it over.

There's a difference between not disparaging them before the election and not enabling their behavior after it.

They got beat up because of what they said and their behavior, not because of where they were from.

Are you happy? Is the vibe nice? Are people friendly? Are you being paid a fair amount or can you get more at an other job? Do they respect your private life, are they stressing you out? How is the commute?

There are other things to consider then industry best practices. You might very well end up in a place that treats you like shit, is much farther and let's you go the moment they don't need you.

I overpressure myself, as if I was constipated, each time I get cravings. I basically make my body as uncomfortable as I can so it learns that cravings=pain.

In the past, I've used hand rolled tobacco to ween myself off. It's a lot harder to just grab a smoke when driving for instance. But cold turkey is best. I usually wait until I get sick before starting stopping since it tends to skip the nasty craving in the first few days. After a week or two, it gets much easier.

Remember, having a smoke every now and then will work until it doesn't.

It's better to keep private companies in charge of environmental regulations and worker protection, they will self-regulate.

God knows they won't mouth fuck us the moment they have a monopoly at least.

You can add Gaben to that list. Steam can do no wrong even though Gaben spend between 75 and 100 million per year on maintenance for his yatch fleet.

Billionaire simps disgust me.

 

On Friday, TriStar Pictures released Here, a $50 million Robert Zemeckis-directed film that used real time generative AI face transformation techniques to portray actors Tom Hanks and Robin Wright across a 60-year span, marking one of Hollywood's first full-length features built around AI-powered visual effects.

Metaphysic developed the facial modification system by training custom machine-learning models on frames of Hanks' and Wright's previous films. This included a large dataset of facial movements, skin textures, and appearances under varied lighting conditions and camera angles. The resulting models can generate instant face transformations without the months of manual post-production work traditional CGI requires.

You couldn't have made this movie three years ago," Zemeckis told The New York Times in a detailed feature about the film. Traditional visual effects for this level of face modification would reportedly require hundreds of artists and a substantially larger budget closer to standard Marvel movie costs

Meanwhile, as we saw with the SAG-AFTRA union strike last year, Hollywood studios and unions continue to hotly debate AI's role in filmmaking. While the Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild secured some AI limitations in recent contracts, many industry veterans see the technology as inevitable. "Everyone's nervous," Susan Sprung, CEO of the Producers Guild of America, told The New York Times. "And yet no one's quite sure what to be nervous about."

Tell us where you are going so I can live vicariously through you while I stare at the snow.

 

Beautiful piece imo. There's a higher res version on their site.

Meta's issue isn't with the still-being-finalized AI Act, but rather with how it can train models using data from European customers while complying with GDPR — the EU's existing data protection law.

  • Meta announced in May that it planned to use publicly available posts from Facebook and Instagram users to train future models. Meta said it sent more than 2 billion notifications to users in the EU, offering a means for opting out, with training set to begin in June.

  • Meta says it briefed EU regulators months in advance of that public announcement and received only minimal feedback, which it says it addressed.

  • In June — after announcing its plans publicly — Meta was ordered to pause the training on EU data. A couple weeks later it received dozens of questions from data privacy regulators from across the region.

 

A bipartisan group of senators introduced a new bill to make it easier to authenticate and detect artificial intelligence-generated content and protect journalists and artists from having their work gobbled up by AI models without their permission.

The Content Origin Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media Act (COPIED Act) would direct the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to create standards and guidelines that help prove the origin of content and detect synthetic content, like through watermarking. It also directs the agency to create security measures to prevent tampering and requires AI tools for creative or journalistic content to let users attach information about their origin and prohibit that information from being removed. Under the bill, such content also could not be used to train AI models.

Content owners, including broadcasters, artists, and newspapers, could sue companies they believe used their materials without permission or tampered with authentication markers. State attorneys general and the Federal Trade Commission could also enforce the bill, which its backers say prohibits anyone from “removing, disabling, or tampering with content provenance information” outside of an exception for some security research purposes.

(A copy of the bill is in he article, here is the important part imo:

Prohibits the use of “covered content” (digital representations of copyrighted works) with content provenance to either train an AI- /algorithm-based system or create synthetic content without the express, informed consent and adherence to the terms of use of such content, including compensation)

 

I didn't have the heart to tell him what the gag was really for as I watched the bite mark ooze puss.

The one I'm using is becoming so buggy to the point of being unusable. It was never really great tbh, what are most people using?

As an added question, are bookmarks associated with the lemmy account or the app?

Edit: I'm on android, currently using Jerboa.

 

I've just finished A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. It was amazing and coincidentally my two last books where children of time(1 and 2) and (as to not spoil the reveal) a certain book involving spiders/crabs that live in high pressure environment.

I'm thoroughly enjoying the theme I have going on even if it was purely accidental, what would be some good recommendations involving sentient spider to pursue next?
