  • Probably all articles I have read on it by mainstream media were somehow wrong. It often feels like reading a political journalist discussing about quantum mechanics.

    Yeah, I view science/tech articles from sources without a tech background this way too. I expected more from this source given that it's literally MIT Tech Review, much as I'd expect more from other tech/science-focused sources, albeit I'm aware those require scrutiny just as well (e.g. Popular Science, Nature, etc. have spotty records from what I gather).

    Also regarding your last point, I'm increasingly convinced AI creators' (or at least their business execs/spokespeople) are trying to have their cake and eat it too in terms of how much they claim to not know/understand how their creations work while also promoting how effective it is. On one hand, they genuinely don't understand some of the results, but on the other, they do know enough of how it works to have an idea of how/why those results came about, however it's to their advantage to pretend they don't insofar as it may mitigate their liability/responsibility should the results lead to collateral damage/legal issues.

  • Thanks for added background! I haven't been monitoring this area very closely so wasn't aware, but I'd have thought a publication that has been would then be more skeptical and at least mention some of this, particularly highlighting disputes over the efficacy of the Glaze software. Not to mention the others they talked to for the article.

    Figures that in a space rife with grifters you'd have ones for each side.

  • Get a mirror that doubles as a sort of magnifier to view the area around your nose closely & carefully. You're looking for seams around the nose with which to gain leverage to gently pry off the nose to get better access to the nostrils within & beneath. Once the nose has been popped off your face, you can rinse both it and the exposed nostrils out with some warm water, which should get rid of the dry, compacted mucus.

    You may want to take a soft, thin brush while you're at this for a more thorough clean. Once both the removed nose and exposed nostrils are cleared to your satisfaction, realign your nose with the seams you found at the start and gently squeeze & press your nose to reconnect it with your face. A light splash of warm water and scrub should help reseal the nose to your face and make the seams less noticeable.

    Hope this helps!

  • Until the law catches up with the technology, people need ways of protecting themselves.

    I agree, and I wonder if the law might be kicked into catching up quicker as more companies try to adopt these tools and inadvertently infringe on other companies' copyrighted material. 😅
