Once you display an idea in public, it belongs to anyone who sees it.

Art is a part of the human condition. Whether or not it can be commercialised, it will endure as a past-time, just not as a vocation.

The rich and powerful must go away, or everyone else will suffer.

Soon enough they will succeed in eliminating most jobs, and the moment will come where action must be taken. Them or us.

Artists don't own their styles, so it's interesting to see them fight to protect them.

The only thing that makes anything valuable is that someone wants it, or at least wants it to exist. Nothing has intrinsic value because value itself is a human construction. This necessarily includes art.

There are presumably no physics that provide protection from extremely powerful explosions.

A few hundred metres of tungsten and ablative ceramics can protect from a nuke just fine.

Finally get through my r adding backlog. With nothing to distract me and no need to eat or sleep, I might actually finish it in a few decades.

This aid is not charitable. America needs to maintain its hegemony to continue benefiting from it and Taiwan is a critical strategic asset.

Other ditches are observably a similar shape, so other puddles must be similar is not a leap in logic.

That being said, if earth isn't some incredible fluke, and similar planets exist bearing life, that life will most likely resemble earth life because it will be adapted to similar niches and environmental conditions.

At least in my car, I'm guaranteed to not run into weirdos or gross conditions caused by ill adjusted members of society.

Unfortunately, we are completely surrounded by gross conditions caused by ill adjusted members of society. Those individuals just happen to be in the government.

All but a very small few generative AI programs use completely destructive methods to create their models. There is no way to recover the training images outside of infantesimally small random chance.

What you are seeing is the AI recognising that images of the sort you are asking for generally include watermarks, and creating one of its own.

You can see here that it's been in decline consistently for the past 20 years.

Yes. See also ASML

I mean post Soviets, haven't all the Baltic nations seen significant depopulation?

Blowing up uninhabited land isn't all that depressing when the likely alternative was either blowing up cities with nukes, or blowing them up with conventional weapons.

We still don't have nuclear-powered flying cars.

Not because we couldn't make them, but because the idea is really stupid in the first place.

You can get a cheaper apartment easily. Like the cheapest 1 room ones are like 40k and outside the capital it's way cheaper still or it was last I checked.

Isn't this because half the population left?
