There is an experiment in Russia that has been breeding foxes for over 50 years now. The goal is to understand how domestication changes an the physiology of an animal. They breed the foxes that show the most tame and docile behaviors towards humans in an effort to recreate the process of changing wolves to dogs.
On the flip side, they also breed the foxes that are most aggressive and hostile towards people. One day they will get too powerful and get loose...
This is a pretty interesting video that shows how using leaked personal data like emails and passwords can be used to track down a specific person even when they're trying to hide themselves online.
Political anarchy is not inherently against rules. Anarchy does not mean that everything is on fire and everyone steals from others and do whatever they want, that's just a common misconception.
Also it's only 3 pretty basic rules, nothing particularly crazy about them
I don't think so. Yeah the researchers broke the rules of the subreddit but it's not like every other company that uses AI for advertising, promotional purposes, propaganda, and misinformation will adhere to those rules.
The mods and community should not assume that just because the rules say no AI does not mean that people won't use it for nefarious purposes. While this study doesn't really add anything new we didn't already know or assume, it does highlight how we should be vigilant and cautious about what we see on the Internet.
Also many of these "vigilantes" are not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. This is a popular subgenre of hate-porn on YouTube that gets a lot of attention. I wouldn't trust anyone who does this for clout and attention to put in the work that is needed to ensure that they get the right person since you can just about fake any evidence on a YouTube video. This is the equivalent of giving a homeless person thousands of dollars and putting it on YouTube for views.
I never played Majora's mask but damn do I love his character design. He's probably one of the most iconic Zelda characters and he only appears in one game, that's how cool he his
One of my favorite questions to answer; what's the difference between a country, a state, and a nation. All 3 terms are used interchangeably but actually do have very specific meanings.
A country is the geographical region that includes the territories and borders of a state or nation.
A state is the governing body that operates and exerts administrative control over a territory or nation.
A nation is much more complicated and not as clear cut but in essence is the people who occupy a country or state. The bonds that create a nation can be different depending on who you ask and be a global world spanning bond like a religion or language or something small scale and local, like a sports team or a neighborhood block.
That is verifiably wrong. Daryl Davies is a black man who has convinced dozens of members of the KKK to renounce their beliefs and their robes. You absolutely can convince people that their beliefs are wrong.
There are benefits of overhead lines. They are cheaper to install, maintain, and repair. Diagnosing problems are much easier as well. They're certainly uglier and easier to damage but you don't have to dig up the road to fix them.
Newer cities shouldn't install overhead lines but to have old cities with overhead lines switch to underground ones is very expensive and takes a lot of time, something smaller cities likely don't have the budget for.
One of my favorite things about this DLC is how they made the legendary bloatfly be one of the toughest enemies to kill. This bug has double the HP of the legendary deathclaw and can one shot you if you go in unprepared. I love this game so much.
True and I certainly don't doubt that there are plenty of idiots at home who think that calling in a bomb threat to a school will accomplish something. But it's also very easy to call in a bomb threat and for a politically charged situation like this, it would be a no brainer for a foreign state actor to take advantage of the situation. It costs them next to nothing and further fuels the political divide within.
If there's dozens of bomb threats being made to the same schools, I would more surprised to find out that rival superpowers aren't behind at least one or two.
If you read the article, they mention how some of the threats are coming from other countries. So while some of it may be dumbass racists thinking they're achieving something, a good amount of it just comes down to foreign powers sowing discord and election interference. Calling in a bomb threat related to a politically divisive topic is a pretty low effort thing to do if you're a rival superpower.
Not to mention that the last spiderverse movie ended on a big cliff hanger while the Tom Holland wrapped up its story completely. If either movie should come out first, it should be the spiderverse one.
The writing is exceptionally well done as is everything else about the game. The story is nothing crazy but the dialogue and characters are where the writing really shines. If you're a fan of the genre, this is definitely worth picking up especially since it's only $20.
I'm not saying they shouldn't be marketing at all. Just that marketing budgets for many AAA blockbusters have become so bloated, they can account for nearly half of the development cost. As someone with very little knowledge as to how games get made, it seems like some of that money could be better used
Marketing is a big money drain for a lot of games too. Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA V are two games with marketing budgets big enough to finance a dozen other games. I guess a new title like cyberpunk would need more marketing (still not $142 million worth of marketing) but GTA was already a well established franchise that probably didn't need as much marketing as it had.
Even games like call of duty and assassins creed which have a core fan base that can expect a new game on a regular basis don't need to market as much as they do.
But they literally cannot moderate their platform. The amount of data that Facebook sees every minute would bankrupt any company if they had to actually hire enough people to go through all that content and determine which is fine and which isn't. And that isn't even taking into consideration the mental and emotional damage that a person will go through just seeing all the vile and despicable shit that gets posted. AI moderation isn't advanced enough and the human moderation cost is so great that the giant social media companies will pretty much never be able to self moderate. Reddit was only able to moderate itself (to an extent) because they had an endless supply of free mods. Facebook doesn't have that same luxury.
