And once it gets stuck trying to off road anywhere, you can live out of it!

My pleasure. Remember: dissatisfied customers are far more likely to write a review than satisfied customers.

I bought a refurbished laptop on Amazon 3 years ago. I still use it every day no problems.

Can't speak to all of them - I imagine they're all in varying conditions. However Amazon has a very generous returns policy (at least here in the UK).

I would say go for it.

The video, which includes a prayer for Trump

Fucking excuse me?

So this is the long overdue "no u" from Putin's warrant from the ICC I guess.

I'm sure that judge will be very upset about not being able to visit Russia.

Me too. And to be honest, the simple idea of a contact constantly sitting on my eyeball makes me squirm.

I'm in the process of being diagnosed as an adult, and I feel very validated as I relate to this very much.

Yikes

Reasons I'm too squeamish for contacts #407

It's an article about funny orange man sitting in a garbage truck on a web forum. I reject the question. It's not that deep. Go repost with an article you prefer if you're that bothered.

It's really not that deep

As someone who works in the field of criminal law (in Europe, and I would be shocked if it wasn't the same in the US) - I'm not actually very worried about this. By that I don't mean to say it's not a problem, though.

The risk of evidence being tampered with or outright falsified is something that already exists, and we know how to deal with it. What AI will do is lower the barrier for technical knowledge needed to do it, making the practice more common.

While it's pretty easy for most AI images to be spotted by anyone with some familiarity with them, they're only going to get better and I don't imagine it will take very long before they're so good the average person can't tell.

In my opinion this will be dealt with via two mechanisms:

• Automated analysis of all digital evidence for signatures of AI as a standard practice. Whoever can be the first person to land contracts with police departments to provide bespoke software for quick forensic AI detection is going to make a lot of money.
• A growth in demand for digital forensics experts who can provide evidence on whether something is AI generated. I wouldn't expect them to be consulted on all cases with digital evidence, but for it to become standard practice where the defence raises a challenge about a specific piece of evidence during trial.

Other than that, I don't think the current state of affairs when it comes to doctored evidence will particularly change. As I say, it's not a new phenomenon, so countries already have the legal and procedural framework in place to deal with it. It just needs to be adjusted where needed to accommodate AI.

What concerns me much more than the issue you raise is the emergence of activities which are uniquely AI dependent and need legislating for. For example, how does AI generated porn of real people fit into existing legislation on sex offences? Should it be an offence? Should it be treated differently to drawing porn of someone by hand? Would this include manually created digital images without the use of AI? If it's not decided to be illegal generally, what about when it depicts a child? Is it the generation of the image that should be regulated, or the distribution? That's just one example. What about AI enabled fraud? That's a whole can of worms in itself, legally speaking. These are questions that in my opinion are beyond the remit of the courts and will require direction from central governments and fresh, tailor made legislation to deal with.

Disney+

I'm learning a language as a hobby and Disney+ BY FAR is the most consistent in having dubs and subs available in a variety of languages. I haven't actually watched anything that didn't have it (for the language I'm learning). Whereas most things on other streaming sites don't tend to have it at all unless it's a foreign film and that's the original language.

For me, it's easily worth the money just for that

The censorship on Tiktok is crazy. The AI based comment removal is completely arbitrary - for example, I once had a comment removed for calling a public figure a walnut. Meanwhile, the comments are absolutely packed with the most vile comments. In particular, for content relating to my country there are thousands of comments openly celebrating and glorifying the deaths of migrants and some seriously explicitly racist rhetoric. It leads to people using silly workarounds to content filters that must be trivially easy to identify automatically, but aren't, raising the question of why bother with such extreme censorship in the first place?

Good luck to em

It's interesting to see how the mental gymnastics attempt to avoid this. I sometimes look at Tiktok and if you go to the comments on anything Russia/Ukraine related it's very clear to see which accounts are bots/stooges and what their narrative instructions are.

Their favourite thing to do is to equate the West and Russia. That both do the same thing, and Russia is just more honest about it. Which I can sort of at least understand to some extent from a foreign policy perspective. But these accounts will earnestly say that the West does the same. including assassinating political rivals and this sort of shit. They also equate Ukraine wanting to join NATO as equivalent to Russia invading the country.

Goodbye, sweet prince

I'm in my 20s and always thought I was aging pretty badly but jeez yeah he fully looks mid to late 40s. A good mid to late 40s but definitely no younger if I were to guess.

........okay fine, I have a lump around my ass ring and maybe this convinced me to finally get it checked
