The truth is the truth, even when spoken by a known liar.

I dunno if this changes any of the UX paradigms, but I heard GIMP is about to release a huge major version.

I actually think Trump is better than Vance. Somehow.

1,500 casualties DAILY?! Russia must be getting even sloppier than before.

Murder is relatively easy. Avoiding the consequences is not.

It’s certainly true. Trump’s also close with Musk these days, and Musk certainly will pressure him to allow Grok to vacuum up all the data for free.

I mean, the rules would allow everybody to get around copyright in this way. A rule like that would apply to all the indie LORA trainers as well.

I don’t think this will make much difference honestly, we already have very little regulation here. It probably means that there will be copyright exemptions for training models. And honestly eroding copyright bit by bit is okay in my book.

What we should be worried about are the human rights that are about to be violated.

Listed didn’t mean anything unless it’s bought though, right?

Nah, Russia could barely handle a Ukraine with heavy restrictions on how they could use weapons.

Poland could kick Russia’s ass.

In the short term, Russia will probably be pacified, because they got their guy in office. Long term that causes an escalation in the new Cold War going on. Ukraine is probably fucked - they probably can’t survive four years with diminished support.

Tensions with China will escalate quickly, since Trump promised to enact absolutely bonkers tariffs.

Palestine is probably fucked, since Trump seems to want Israel to escalate the conflict. Netanyahu seems quite pleased.

I’m not as doom and gloom about the environment though - economics will continue to force renewable energy. As we all know, money has a whole lot more power than Trump ever will. He can slow it down, but economics always wins.

In this you’re solving 8 wordles at the same time. So green letters are in the correct place, and yellow letters are in the word but in the wrong place. It may help to focus on one at a time like a normal wordle, and see how many you can get solved before you run out of guesses.

A good deal of the miracles happen conveniently off-screen, and mostly become “true” because the whole group tends to unanimously trust the mythos.

It’s not hard to max out when doing simulations in Blender, but I know I have a niche use case.

Me too. High five! (But not like, in person. Because I’m not leaving my house.)

Agreed. The aggressive depth of field is another smoking gun that usually indicates an AI image.

I mean, it could be a manual photoshop job. Just because it’s not AI doesn’t mean it’s real.

But also the detector is probably wrong - it’s likely an AI image using a different model than the detector was trained to detect.

To be fair, I think the majority of stand up comedians are also painful to listen to.

But you’re right, this is an exaggerated caricature of reality, like Monty Python or the Three Stooges but far less so.
