Yes, that's the biggest and probably most valid criticism not tied to the film's writing or acting. It's pure white savior narrative. Same issue with Last of the Mohicans and a bunch of other movies.
Because :wq to me means "Issue command write, followed by command quit." "Issue command x" to me means nothing in the context of vim, and ctrl + x on most systems is reserved for cutting, so it just "feels" wrong.
Also 8.2 billion dollars is a fucking pittance in terms of national rail service. That's barely enough to expand an already existing rapid transit network in a moderately sized US city.
Colleges don't have external investors or are technically "owned" in the same way a business is. But they do functionally operate in the same way as profit based institutions. This is because the people who run them understand that industry connections can be immensely profitable. You help fudge some numbers or put out dubious research backing a particular industry and you might find yourself in a position in which you get paid to "consult" for those companies later on.
I don't talk about the specific details of my employment on the internet with strangers. Especially with those who are fishing for a fight in which I have little interest.
I've never been in a corporate environment where stickers on laptops that weren't branded for the company itself was considered acceptable or professional.
We both know the answer to that question. And boy howdy am I stoked for cars to get fully enshittified where you have to have a yearly subscription for the software that allows your tires to move, otherwise you functionally just bought a 45,000 dollar paperweight.
That argument never held much weight for me years ago, because a lot of subs were trash back then, too. You just picked whatever trash you wanted and let the weabs on the internet be damned.
Aitana, a 25-year-old woman from Barcelona, is described by her creators as the first Spanish AI model, Euronews first reported.
Which means the article is stating that the model is an AI. The article goes on to compare this model to "Caryn Marjorie, a 23-year-old influencer, [who] created an AI version of herself that served as a virtual girlfriend to 1,000 men. Customers of CarynAI pay $1 per minute of time with the virtual Marjorie, which is described by her owners, Forever Voices, as an “extension of Caryn’s consciousness.”
It seems like this isn't even an AI model. They just had an AI create fake pictures of a person that doesn't exist based on design specifications. Does this thing engage with users automatically, does it generate new "photos" on the fly and upload them? Like, what part of this is intelligent? Because if it's not, the article is simply lying at worst, and wrong at best.
Biden literally signed an executive order blocking railway workers from striking. If he has that kind of authority and is willing to use it in that way, then all he has to do is make an executive order declaring all strikes illegal. Also, not trying to be a naysayer, but a general strike is a pipe dream. You can barely get people in the same union to cooperate, let alone multiple unions cooperating for a general.
"We're too deep in the hole we've dug for ourselves. Just keep digging and hope we eventually come out the other side." That's what that logic effectively equates to: doing the same stupid thing and hoping it eventually works out for you.
It's an effective tool at providing introductory information to well documented topics. A smarter Google Search, basically. And that's all I really want it to be. Overrated? Probably not. It's useful if you use it correctly. Overhyped? Yeah, but that's more a fault of marketing than technology.
