Because russia thinks "we can take that and they wont risk defensing it or attempting to take it back because theyd be risking a nuclear disaster"

Its literally the exact same reasoning for why they didnt expect the rest of the world to get involved, because they have nukes.

Nah, you had a point until your last statement. What is barbarism if not the unjustified killing of a person based on their skin color? The only thing the original comment was missing is that we still hard that same primitve barbaric system, weve just restricted the worst of it to the lower class and minorities.

Oh, Isreal is testing the ceasefire again?

This looks so surreal, like it was taken by an electron microscope. Super cool!

Better service with a more reliable and repeatable doctor for cheaper? I mean, yeah, everyone deserves that.

Literally a hard coded bot that just follows the exact same steps but coded by a professional doctor would be better than most american health care. The sheer ability of a bot to be repeatable and consistent immedietely places them in a different echelon for delicate procedures in the medical field. While LLMs have inherit vulnerabilities such as hallucinations, an actual AI trained on all the precedent cases for our legal system would be the greatest lawyer ever created. Effectively free because it can be run on your local computer, and yet with all the legal knowledge of our entire country in a fairly indexable package? Sounds incredible.

The biggest bit of muance here is that, admittedly, i dont realistically see AI replacing humans entirely at least in the short term. For creative processes that youre not willing to license out to a generative model largely trained on poisoned ai slop, the only way to get a bot to produce anything decent is to give it near human level intelligence at least within its field. Human level intelligence is a much trickier thing to create than basic dumb automation.

Dang, turns out my hatred of sweet potato was actually a hatred of colonialism lol

Cringe censoring is cringe

My last gf started french kissing me out of no where. Absolutely hated it. Cannot understand the appeal.

You are in this dream but we do not grant you the rank of happy. Please, take a seat.

Every time i see this post i think of that one time it got posted and the top comment was "thats called a desire path"

The post title was "desire path". It was posted on c/desire_paths. That level of oof lives in my brain rent free now.

As long as both rocks are relatively flat on the connected faces, in most cases no. A piece of paper is, what, 8 inches wide on its second shortest axis? For two "relatively" flat pieces of rock, your going to have multiple places where a small segment juts out. Those are the segments that will support all the weight of the rock, and a heavier rock will have more/thicker supporting segments. Both of those factors combined, especially on rocks as heavy as these, would lead me to expect not being able to stick a fairly large piece of paper between them. Something much thinner, like a sticky note, would be significanly easier to fit through those gaps. But a standard piece of notebook paper would not be able to fit through the gaps on my window hinges, and they are by no means sealed.

Yeah, ops picture looks more like a young mr beast. For the record, i have facial recognition issues and barely know what mr beast looks like.

Keanu is universally recognizable though

Imo the bots already did their work and now more than half of the country is willfully vegetative. I remember the last time i saw neuronal activity....

Now i want the US to have a civil war because im tired of being the tolerant left. Youre either for progress or your against it. For too long we have been hindered by wanting to maintain the moral high ground, civility politics, and the paradox of tolerance. Its all justifications for shitty behavior, and imo shitty behavior should no longer be tolerated. If you are arguing against human rights in 2025 i want to see you bleed, no exceptions

I dont know how people can get so upset about this. The world is a joke now, if people didnt want that they shouldve done something about it like 10 years ago. Now its too late and only now do i see people complaining. Its absolutely wild to me, because im well past the point of legitimately caring. I can only see my country bomb civilians so many times without anyone stopping it. My empathy and ability to gauge conflict is just gone, spent over a decade ago fighting the good fight and seeing no progress. Now none of it matters because the rich won, and no one did anything to stop them.

The simple answer is that these models are already programmed and released, and they simply dont have that check. Its not a matter of whether they should or whether the ai needs to be taken down, because none of that is realistic. Looking at the future, because these models can be run locally, there is absolutely nothing you can do at this point to ensure a future with no fake porn around, regardless of how idealistic you are.

So the solution here is security through noise. There are a number of ways to do that, but they all involve dramatic cultural shift, and im quite curious to see what that entails. The first, and imo least likely, is that everyone stops being weird sexual monkeys and stops stigmatizing the human body. People shouldnt have the power over you that comes with being able to show off your nude body. Thats weird. Seeing the body in an exclusively sexual manner is weird anyways. Sexualing nudity, breast feeding, ankles, all this weird cringe shit that all just seems like barely hidden fetishes that everyone seems to engage in. The human body shouldnt be something to be ashamed of as a concept. I could understand not being proud of your body and not wanting to show it off, but the idea that someone walking around in the nude is inheritely sexual just seems to speak volumes about the people saying that to me.

The second option is to make the models as accessible as possible. The idea being to flood the internet with so much ai slop that it becomes unusable, or everything on it is considered fake. This is a future where you see some horrible accident online, and it is your immediate assumption that it is fake. Kinda like a movie, or a scene from a video game, or most likely some strange advertisement. The default state of the itnernet becomes entertainment, not education or social engagment. The people you match with on tinder are assumed to be bots, the person responding to your comment is likely a bot, the person who posted that cool meme was a bot. The default assumption is that its all fake, for entertainment purposes only. Yes, there are nudes of you floating around. Theres also photos of you on the moon, and getting your ladydick sucked by the president, and of you refracting light to form a trans pride flag. Its all fake, and everyone knows it.

Lastly, we have security through oppression. This is where the government uses this whole thing as an excuse to install ever increasing surveilance software on your devices in order to ensure that youre not engaging with illegal software they had a hand in making. The only way to ensure this porn isnt getting produced? Well, in order to connect to the internet you need to have a goverment issued app that scans every file for signs of ai editing. Whats that? The porn is still being produced? I guess that means its getting brought in from an offline source. We need a worm that embeds itself into every file to target machines that are kept on intranets. You know what, its easier to just take everyones computers away unless theyre government sanctioned. Nanny states are surveilance and police states where effectively open sourced software is concerned.

Ok, so this technology solves a very really problem: how do we stop the circulation of child porn. Unlike any other time in history, people have the option of convincingly claiming that any picture of them was fake. Everyone knows that its super easy to fake this stuff, so odds are any REAL content could be easily claimed to be fake. Back when i was in school, there were several girls who moved presumably because of bullying due to their nudes being circulated. I dont know about the bullying, but i know the person who was circulating the nudes. If they had the option of convincingly claiming they were fake(it actually goes further than that. Now its LIKELY they're fake, and can generally be assumed to be so) then that wouldve dramatically lessened the appeal of spreading them.

Tony stark did it in a cave. With a box of scraps.

Sudoku?

At least in the US, there is no activity that is more likely to result in an interaction with cops than driving.
