  • My thoughts exactly. As a non-European, it sounds like the appropriate response is to drive my Chevvy Suburban 5 miles on the highway for 30 minutes to work in near standstill traffic.

  • The voice actors for The Finals are completely made with AI, there is no real actor behind the scenes they started from.

    That's not really what you had in mind, you're probably imagining a live-response model, but it is something that's happening now.

  • Finance bros who run wall street are all idiots, so they designed a system where no matter how stupid they are, they're always right. If you get a bunch of finance bros in a room and give a really good sales pitch, your valuation can triple despite nothing real actually happening.

    In the case of AI, even the foremost experts are uncertain about how useful AI is. Qualified people disagree and no AI based tool has really proved itself to be robust, but it is amazing at fooling people who are either dumb or willfully ignorant, so it's like crack cocaine to anyone who works on Wall Street.

  • This can only be "normalized" in the same way that gambling can be normalized. You can also write an article filled with testemonials of people who want to elaborate on the positive sides of gambling. This is an article of someone under financial strain being roped in to spending hundreds a month that she's hiding from her husband. It's an unhealthy addiction and should be discussed as such.

  • I once made fun of someone on hexbear for denying genocide. A few days later, all of my recent comments had exactly the same number of downvotes, somewhere in the ballpark of 20, all across different communities. Whichever one of those comments received the least upvotes is my personal winner.

    As an added bonus, this was after hexbear disabled downvotes, so they had to either pay for bots or run bots on an instance other than hexbear to pull that off.

    Edit: Looks like a tankie read this and decided the appropriate response was to go to my profile and comment unhinged replies on all my recent comments. Thanks mods for cleaning them up so quickly.

  • Photons

    Jump
    1. They're traveling in a medium, so they move slower than in space
    2. Due to the random walk caused by multiple scattering, it can take millions of years for a photon to escape the sun after being produced in the core.

    You are right that they don't gather energy, but they do multiply. What would be a single high energy x ray in the core will eventually downscatter into an army of optical photons.
