no, they just replaced the normal tools with ai-enhanced versions and are labeling everything like that now.

ai noise reduction should not get this tag.

there's a lot more than generative fill.

ai denoise, ai masking, ai image recognition and sorting.

hell, every phone is using some kind of "ai enhanced" noise reduction by default these days. these are just better versions of existing tools than have been used for decades.

yeah, i use Lightroom ai de-noise all the time now. it's just a better version of a tool that already existed. and once that every phone does by default anyway.

yeah, the idea didn't take off until the previous generation of doctors died. it's a fact that often both encourages and discourages me.

even doctors were too stubborn to accept they may have been wrong about something so important, no matter the evidence. however, even those that are so stubborn that they'll take it to the grave will eventually be passed up by a new generation who has known of this idea since before they were born. at worst, this kind of stubbornnes is only likely to stall progress for 2 generations.

still, millions of people died because humans are stubborn.

maybe we shouldn't blame the victim, but we should probably help them escape.

yeah, but they would be better able to put an rma through for you. it is kind of on them to guarantee a working product actually. if the manufacturer gave them a faulty product it's up to them to get the manufacturer to fix it. most retailers have an entire system and process for this kind of stuff. things show up to retailers broken all the time. part of their job is to guarantee against that and deal with it if they fail to before you buy it. if you asked them to replace it with a like model that worked or for them to initiate an rma and they refused then you'd be in the right to issue a chargesback.

some said i was destined to be a doctor with my handwriting and family. i decided to break the cycle and become a videographer that barely scrapes by. my family is... they like the videos i make of our get togethers...

at least i haven't accidentally killed anyone.

or iwo jima Island or Mount midoriyama

jima is Island, yama is mountain... midori is green, so midoriyama could be translated as green mountain.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be done, I'm just predicting it's going to flop.

it's not that it shouldn't be done, I'm just predicting it's going to flop.

i mean, people have innovated in the areas they care already.

no one really cares that much about audio on phone calls. as long as they're understandable.

people added video because it adds to the communication. spatial audio will not. it will only become common if one or two of these mega corps decide to shoehorn it into ever device. not because people actually want it or care.

might be a lucrative patent if we ever get holograms though

i mean, i don't think anyone has actually considered including the leaked data in the leak announcement. it seems so obvious to just say which fields are leaked that i hadn't even considered that someone might think to include the data itself.

yeah, I'll agree. the tech communities in there are not like that. it's the political ones.

an example: they'll say something off the wall about the Ukraine war and American support for it, you'll reply with something that mentions the Americans that support and don't support it among many other things, they'll dog pile you for using the word "liberal" with the common American definition because apparently linguistic drift is illegal. theynever get off the subject and then never actually tell you their definition and how it differs.

that's every political discussion with anyone from .ml involved. if it was just their own communities it would be fine, but it's that they go out and do that with every community that doesn't defederate.

imagine it this way; what if "the Donald" had broken off Reddit later and made one of the largest lemmy instances. they were perfectly cordial when you were in their funny dog pictures community, but they constantly act like trump supporters in every political thread.
obviously we'd all defederate with them. very few world even question that at this point.

that's what this is. they're just loud, and extreme, and annoying on this one subject. we'd rather not see the Linux main community hold us captive against excising the problem.

to me it was more the straw that broke the camel's back. every rude and unreasonable interaction i have in here is with someone from .ml. it's not even about their politics or beliefs, they're just not pleasant to have around.

the second you try to engage them they throw the real arguments out for pedantry about definitions and using that to call people dumb instead of actually having meaningful discussion about ideas. they're the worst kind of "it's not my job to explain it to you, Google it" people too. like, i get the mindset, but it's just not going to change anyone's heart or mind. it's not how you actually win an argument.

every person on Lemmy.ml argues like an annoying 14 year old atheist that just discovered Internet arguments and the think whole Internet is Christian. they're just shitty to be around and basically never add anything meaningful to a discussion other than "you're wrong and dumb"

honestly, if recent history was anything to go on this investigation would have never started or immediately ended, agreeing they did nothing wrong.

you might have a point about supreme Court meddling, but this all feels new to me.

or any of the other lemmy apps that start without ads...

i still haven't heard a compelling reason to use that one other than "it's what I was already used to on Reddit"

that would be a decent assumption to jump to if you didn't know the real answer i guess...

sorceresses in the Witcher were largely discarded children that were sick or disfigured. they eventually use magic to "fix" their bodies. many of them are obsessive about thiz and use magic to be the most beautiful person in the room because of their disfigured past.

there is very little connection between high birth and being a sorceress in the Witcher. all of the specific examples we hear are of farm peasents being scooped up just to take the burden off their parent's hands.

this is a bleak story, many of the sorcerers and sorceresses in it are at Best morally grey. it is not beyond most of them to take that child and experiment on them if they don't have the aptitude for magic. they are also sterile. much like witchers, they must take in outsiders to propagate.

unless the show has its own lore or something. IDK i stopped watching after season 2 was completely its own story, unrelated to the books at all.

i mean, they already mobilized and attacked once. January 6 was not a spur of the moment thing. if you watched the hearings for it you'd know that the fbi knew about j6 for months and warned everyone they could.

presumably there's much the same kind of planning happening right now.

yes, but we still need to test our own ideas. sometimes we're wrong. we have these kinda of tests because sometimes things we think are very obvious are proven wrong under rigorous testing.

but for real, when this announcement came out it actually took me real effort to figure out who the fuck Elliot page was because they hadn't really been that active at the time otherwise. no fucking articles anywhere mentioned what they used to be called so i was genuinely very confused.
