True, though for now paparazzi photos generally are “here’s the celebrity in real life doing [x]” whereas AI is “celebrity never did this thing and we applied their image / voice to it like they did.” Really difficult for celebs to shut down tabloid or fan ai-generated garbage, but I think the bigger issue for them right now is film or music studios just using their likeness to keep the profits churning
That’s pretty cool. How do those with kids or a “home base” manage to just leave for an extended period of time? Do they seek new housing or just have someone take care of their property while they are gone?
Also when you say “invest in passive income streams” please elaborate, as this often leads to buy property and be a landlord, grift others, etc.
First, you’d need to make enough money to work 1-2 years to be able to save up enough that it’s more substantial than a two week vacation, which for many isn’t possible.
Second, you’d need to have a type of career where it’s just fine to stop working for awhile and then come back like nothing happened. Most careers don’t let you just leave for awhile and come back when you feel like it, and applying for a new job every year or two years sounds fucking miserable.
Third, you’d need to have some place you can live during those 1-2 years you are working. Either you’re rich enough to just already own a home or condo or keep paying rent, or you have kind friends or family that let you live with them. Otherwise, again, you’re searching for housing every year or two, which sounds awful.
Fourth, you still need medical care when you aren’t working, so you need the money to pay for private insurance.
As you said. Pets, kids, an SO with a stable job that doesn’t want to do this, all non-starters.
To me this screams “I have a trust fund and I mean that I want to save up travel money while my apartment is already paid for.” And where that’s not the case, I imagine it’s someone in a very lucrative field, where working two years nets them a significant amount of money.
Though the top comment certainly shows an example of where this does work (though it requires all the assumptions I outlined above)
Yeah, generally the article titles were all "How Millennials are destroying the [x] industry," because they had the Internet available just before the corruption of hypercapitalism, and used it to inform their culture and decisions. The earlier days of google search where you could find good information that wasn't SEO poisoned. Whereas today "Internet = Phone = Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/TikTok" to the majority of people. Terrible day for the World Wide Web than the ad industry realized you can pay models and celebs to create FOMO for shit like Stanley Cups.
Ms. Fago was invited to a $1-million-per-person fund-raising dinner last month that promised face-to-face access to Mr. Trump at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla.
Less than three weeks after she attended the dinner, Mr. Trump signed a full and unconditional pardon.
Mr. Walczak’s pardon application argued that his criminal prosecution was motivated more by his mother’s efforts for Mr. Trump than by his admitted use of money earmarked for employees’ taxes to fund an extravagant lifestyle.
Ah yes, already has a rich MAGA mommy but it's not enough unless you're fucking over someone else.
It came just in the nick of time for Mr. Walczak, sparing him from having to pay nearly $4.4 million in restitution and from reporting to prison for an 18-month sentence that had been handed down just 12 days earlier. A judge had justified the incarceration by declaring that there “is not a get-out-of-jail-free card” for the rich.
“Have you grabbed my [old fishing rod] I left in [radiant quest location]? I heard maybe some hooligans took over so you maybe have to clear them out. Shouldn’t be a problem for someone like you. Come back with the [old fishing rod] so we can [advance Quest: Fishing Tutorial]!”
Yeah I think it’s also because instagram prohibits linking directly to onlyfans, so for many it exists as an intermediary where they can still have that link but it’s not direct.
Or worse. A single bad actor (according to the company) poisoned grok to be white supremacist. How many unsupervised, privileged LLM commands could run in a short time if an angry employee at Anthropic poisons the LLM to cause malicious damage to servers, environments, or pipelines it has access to?
Yeah this should just be a standard GitHub action. It’s a waste of energy to have an LLM do this over and over.
I see this trend happening a lot lately, where instead of getting the LLM to write code that does a thing, the LLM is repeatedly asked to do the thing, which leads to it just writing the same or very nearly the same code over and over.
That’s true, I didn’t mean getting in a prestigious university was rare from a state school, but rather those are certainly the “exceptional students” considering the stringent acceptance requirements. I only explained why rich parents would spend the money on private schools to give their child an edge. There are certainly cases where admissions are allowed because of family lineage or sizeable donations.
As far as I know you can only apply to Oxford or Cambridge, and furthermore you can’t apply to more than five universities in the UK except for rare occasions.
Only if your kids have excellent grades or are star athletes or otherwise exceptional. Most of this ends up as networking, where the rich parents meet other rich parents and eventually someone with connections is involved when it’s time for the kids to go to university, and because rich people like it when other rich people succeed, because they want “the right kind of people” at the universities they send their kids to, (sometimes) they’ll help grease the right palms.
Why is it your job to get your roommate body wash? If he’s so picky about the soap he uses, tell him to get all dolled up and go buy it himself.
