OP didn't update their repost bot to understand what it's reposting.

The article says that they would just lie too.

Like, they claimed one guy (18) was there to meet a minor (17). When the reporter reviewed the logs it was clear that he was there to meet an 18 year old.

Getting views is more important than catching a bad guy

Sure, it doesn't entitle anyone to sex.

I was just pointing out that it's just not as simple as "That's just a thing people say to guilt trip others into sex."

I'm over here heating water in a kettle because of Technology Connections (and also pre-heating my dishwasher)

He's already started the onboarding process to be in Trump's cabinet

I don't get my news from tante.cc

But the fact that I don't use them for my news doesn't mean that they're not lying ("editorializing") for profit, which is a bad thing for everyone who cares about not being misinformed since people, who do read trash like this, use this kind of 'news' as the basis of their opinions.

They loosened moderation on style-based prompts. That's the 'real' story. The End. But...

...some users on Reddit/X (hard to pin down exactly where, as these things go) made it a meme to 'Ghibli-fy' images because it is easy now (despite being trivially easy to do in ComfyUI for over a year) and then, in an attempt to monetize the meme/outrage, """news websites""" started producing articles like this one were written using old quotes to imply that there is some sort of ongoing drama between OpenAI and Studio Ghibli.

It's just manufactured drama built on Internet memes and outrage farming media sites.

All diffusion and language models are autoregressive. That just means that the output is fed back in as input until the task is complete.

With diffusion models this means that it is fed an image that is 100% noise and it removes some small percentage of the noise and then then the denoised image is fed back in and another small percentage is removed. This is repeated until a defined stopping points (usually a set number of passes).

Combining images and using one image to control the generation of another has been available for quite a while. Controlnet and IPAdapters let you do exactly that: 'Put this coat on this person' or 'Take this picture and do it in this style'. Here's an 11 month old YouTube video explaining how to do this using open source models and software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmwZGC8UVHE

It's nice for non-technical people that OpenAI will sell you a subscription in order to access an agent that can perform these kinds of image generation abilities, but it's not doing anything new in terms of image generation.

Either way this isn’t a news article, it’s a blog post. Who cares if it’s editorialized?

People who would rather hear the truth and not fancy lies that appeal to the masses.

You're implying that this is against the law without ever bothering to prove the implication.

The number of Windows applications that don't run via compatibility layers is small and shrinking. Unless everyone is a video editor who steams professional Valorant then they can find software to do what they need done.

No, it'll always exist because corporate and government contracts are not putting up with a requirement to have a Microsoft account.

That's only something that poor people have to do.

I really hate that, on Linux, my login screen is just a prompt for my password. I don't feel the same value that I do on Windows where I get a new background every few minutes and 4 links to websites where I can buy trips to the location in the picture.

Logging in is similarly tedious. When I login to Linux I just see my desktop, BORING. Where's the "Happening Now" News pop-up in the system tray notification area.

Also, why does my Linux search only show me applications on my computer. When I search for Steam, I also want to see the top 5 search results for Steam on Bing just in case I don't remember what Steam is.

There are manipulative people, of both sexes, who lie for sex.

That being said, Epididymal Hypertension (aka blue balls) is a real thing and not an urban legend only used to manipulate people.

How does Google know where I live?

The CLI is first because Linux is, first and foremost, an operating system built for terminal access. It was based on Unix, a mainframe operating system that served terminals.

I’ve heard that KDE and GNOME, however, are both at a level now where P&CIs are all you really need. I have not tried them myself, though.

Between all of my devices at home and work, I use KDE, XFCE and hyprland.

KDE has a pretty comprehensive GUI, but to say that they're all you need is a gross exaggeration. Sure, you can connect your bluetooth device via the GUI but if there is any problem with it the GUI is woefully insufficient for troubleshooting. Similarly, you can adjust the volume in the GUI... but if your device is using the wrong bitrate or you want to do anything more complicated than control the device that sound is sent to, then you're going to be editing dot files and using the terminal.

In Linux, the GUI applications are a convenience but the core of the system is the terminal interface. That's what everything has been designed for since the beginning. Graphical Desktop environments are not, at all, a replacement for the terminal.

Your stance also de-emphasizes the difficulty of learning CLI for the first time. It’s not the most difficult thing ever, but it can be fairly frustrating. It’s not something you want to deal with when just trying to unwind after work on your PC, or while you’re trying to do your job at work. I think it’s pretty reasonable most people don’t want to have to learn yet another paradigm just to do what they’ve already figured out how to with a P&CI.

I don't think that it is reasonable to want to swap operating systems without learning the new operating system.

If a person has decided that they never want to use anything but a mouse to solve their problems then Linux is not the OS for them. Learning a new operating system means learning how the operating system works, not declaring how you think it should work and declaring anything outside of your expectations as unreasonable.

If you're coming into this with the idea that you're going to swap to Linux but only use your Windows/Mac knowledge to puzzle through a GUI and also refuse to touch anything that is in the terminal then you should not use Linux. If you're asking for help and then telling the people trying to help you that you're not going to use the terminal, you're going to face a lot of negative responses.

Is it really a 'move to allow' style prompts? They're just no longer preventing people from doing that.

It's weird that people who profess to be staunch defenders of art don't understand that stealing styles is fundamental to art. If enough people steal a specific style then art history just labels it a 'movement'. Look on this page: https://magazine.artland.com/art-movements-and-styles/ and you can see that the thing they're describing is a lot of people copying the same style.

Drum and Bass, a music genre, was essentially built on a """""stolen"""" clip from The Winstons in a song called Amen, Brother. The Amen break (you've certainly heard it even if you don't know the name) is copied over and over and over.

This is just the latest social media trend trying to shoehorn issues into the 'AI-bad' meme. Stealing styles is not unusual or even immoral. It is literally the foundation of art.

This is just outrage farming, because 1. People are familiar with this style and 2. The primary artist who made the style popular is against AI.

You gotta do it like this:
