I dont think theres so few. A lot of people have a need to be led. And if it isnt religion and gods it is something else. Like "leaders". Like the golden(-ish) cow the US' republicans are worshiping.

We got space. Its not like a new language with unique character sets are just gonna pop up any day now. Maybe if we found intelligent aliens.

If so, I'll gladly call myself a kid again just to be allowed to use emojis. 😁

They could include it. Give it a spot. But blank. And then it would be up to each OS if they want to include the icon on their device. That way we could at least let those less prudish nations and companies start with a common code point.

Like flags for example. They got codepoints, but Microsoft has decided to not take sides and have ignored country's flags.

Lucky you! I wasn't allowed to make anything more advanced than sandwiches. I would only make a mess, my mom complained. She was a bit obsessed with cleanliness and control.

I ate a lot of microwaved cheese sandwiches, and fried eggs as soon as I could move out, though. And spaghetti with ketchup. And rice with ketchup. Cheap and delicious food for a student.

Norwegian here. My family grew up in the 90s on mostly on oatmeal in milk, with some jam or sugar added. I love it. Quick to assemble and doesn't make much of a mess to clean up.

Dont forget ink recipe. A new type of ink had to be invented for the printing press. Soot, turpentine, and walnut oil should do it.

I don't think you would survive either. People wasn't stupid back then and you'd probably quickly get fridged for being a walking curse.

Is Burnham still the one-man away-team? The better episodes was where more of the crew got to contribute.

someone behind the scenes has their thumb on the scale to push the model toward racial/gender diversity

I thought it obviously was the case here.

And it is understandable, these models work by putting the most likely pixel after another until it ends with a picture, and the average picture is filled with the average stereotype (bad or good). And pushing it away from that will of course affect everything in the model. The computer cant handle every exception we need to put into it for it to be clean and sellable. Theres gonna be many more ai generated pictures like this but shocking in a different way, in the future. Probably even worse.

What did people expect, that a text-to-image model would be able to understand centuries of human stupidity and the politics it have created?

I got the feeling media has been saying "people are over superhero movies" for quite a while. Eventually it had to "come true" as Marvel has turned down the stakes and mostly focused on some cheap (relatively speaking) tvseries that probably nobody but comicbook fans watched, and some movies that are connected to these, with less known heroes.

They'll be back again for Deadpool, Fantastic Four, and Blade, and the "over superheroes" trend will be forgotten. Again.

Now that Marvel got them, I doubt its gonna be any reboots after the next, in quite a while.

But they will have to switch out actors as they move on to new projects, becomes too expensive, or get too old for the role. And leaving their biggest earning superheroes unused or dead isnt profitable. I'm calling it: Iron Man and Captain America will return, played by new actors, still within the same MCU continuity, within a decade.

Replace walking with bicycling and you get the entire Oslo within 30 minutes distance. Just don't stop anywhere or your bike will probably get sabotaged.

From what I've read about him, I thought CliffyB would have been on the "seeing wokes in everything" group.

I got the impression it depends on the translation or adaption, and also the culture at the time it was translated or adapted.

Dont try to drag me into your sinister, ink stained agendas!

2020? So “they wanted people to focus on other things from the studio” like the Avenger game they completely wrecked?

The way I see it, explaining others also helps me understand it better. If its so basic (or too advanced) that I get nothing out of explaining, then I leave it to better suited people to help them instead. Being on these kindsa forums, its supposed to be enjoyable for both the teacher and the student. I don't see any shame in dropping it as soon as it turns frustrating.

High life? Nah, go low-life/high-tech instead and replace both the screen and your chair with VR glasses. Saves a lot on apartment maintenance too!
