Aren't studies like this part of how to solve homelessness, though? Like this method helps around 16%, then other methods can be used to help people who need more resources.

Part of the frustration with dealing with homelessness is that it's so difficult to help the most visibly homeless, so people think the programs aren't working or are lining people's pockets.

Unconditional cash transfers reduce homelessness

autumn @reddthat.com 3y ago

Our preregistered screening criteria were: age 19 to 65, homeless for less than 2 y (homelessness defined as the lack of stable housing), Canadian citizen or permanent resident, and nonsevere levels of substance use (DAST-10) (21), alcohol use (AUDIT) (22), and mental health symptoms Colorado Symptom Index (CSI) (23) based on predefined thresholds (see SI Appendix, Table S1 in SI Appendix, section 1.3.2). These screening criteria were used to reduce any potential risks of harm (e.g., overdose) from the cash transfer.

Kind of speaks to how bad homelessness has become that you can have pretty strict criteria and still have a ton of people who need the help.

Most men totally support equal rights for women and treat them with total respect and would never shaft them because they're women.

Asians are real hot too, but ive only boned one and she was kind of just something to do while in a slump she wasnt a looker (but I'd love to date one. Hot.).

Some broad answers:

Fee is higher than people are willing to pay

I highly recommend it!

If you go and do the storyline, remember that you can read some of the stuff via qr code on your phone so you don't have to sit at the terminals to watch the videos.

Three found dead at remote Rocky Mountain campsite were trying to escape society, stepsister says

Jara said she tried everything short of kidnapping to keep them from leaving, but nothing worked. Now, Jara wants to warn others about the risks of surviving in the wilderness.

“I do not wish this on anybody at all,” Jara said. “I can’t wait to get to the point where I’m happy and all I can think of is the memories.”

I feel so bad for the stepsister

Visual artists fight back against AI companies for repurposing their work

autumn @reddthat.com 3y ago

The Guild’s core proposal is this: AI-generated material can't replace a human writer. AI-generated material cannot qualify as source material for adaptation in any way. AI-generated work can be used as research material, just as a Wikipedia article could, but because of the unclear nature of the sources that go into its output and how the output is generated, it has no place as an "author" in the world of copyright. AI outputs are not, in the Guild's opinion, copyrightable.

That means that if a studio wants to use an AI-generated script, there can be no credited author and no copyright. In a world where studios jealously guard the rights to their work, that's a major poison pill.

I think this would be a decent compromise. It feels like the core of the AI art fight is really who can make money off of it.

“My fear is that our industry will be diminished to such a point that very few of us can make a living,” Ortiz says, anticipating that artists will be tasked with simply editing AI-generated images, rather than creating.

This feels very prescient. Maybe there will be laws passed to compensate artists for feeding their work to an AI, but there's no way companies will avoid using AI to do the heavy lifting.

How long have you had your current water bottle?

autumn @reddthat.com 3y ago

I've got several ikea glass water bottles because i tend to forget where they are. They're pretty simply made (glass bottle, plastic cap, silicone ring) and therefore easy to clean.
