  • This article is prime "SelfAwareWolves" material...

    Countering this in international media by offering more balanced views for a global audience is near impossible as censorship is rife. There almost seems to be a global compact to control the narrative, a propaganda war powered by today’s digital technology.

  • The thing that allows near-instant transfers is NPP (New Payment Platform). PayID is built on top of it, but there are banks on the NPP that haven't enabled the PayID feature.

    For transfers to happen instantly requires you to initiate the transfer electronically, both sender & receiver banks need to be on the NPP, and the amount transferred is below a limit set by your bank (usually $5k?).

    Otherwise it's the usual slow transfer. Either next business day, or two, depending on what time you make the transfer.. A Thursday evening transfer may arrive Monday morning if you're unlucky.

  • The og Opera was so good and innovative. Would've paid for it (when it was still ad-supported), were I not a poor student at the time.

    When they became yet another chromium skin with no soul, I moved fully to FF. Now Vivaldi is my second browser alongside FF.

  • Yeah this is nothing new at all. Society has been conditioning women around the world to some arbitrary standard of "beauty" for millennia. The same conditioning has the same effect in machine learning. Well, duh.

  • This intrigued me so I tried asking some AI; and in typical AI fashion, they gave me very wrong answers very convincingly.

    Gpt4 is convinced it was Vermeer's "Art of Painting", and gave a very verbose - but completely wrong - description of how the woman was directing the painter's arm. The BingGPT version even gave me links.. to websites with completely unrelated paintings.

    Google bard insists it was Goya's "The Double Portrait", and gave a very detailed analysis and critique of the painting. It's very convincing, except for the fact that I couldn't find a painting by that name by Goya...

    So I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help. I just found the whole thing amusing.
