Disaster is nearing. Mass displacement. Mass starvation. Mass death. It is all imminent. Do you understand?

This is exactly the messaging of the oil companies and others who oppose climate action now that it’s too hard to deny. They want us to think it’s hopeless and give up trying to change anything. It’s not too late. Green energy is growing exponentially and has been possibly the fastest technological adoption in history. Millions of people are working on the science and technology to solve these problems. We just need some more collective action at the local and national levels. Carbon taxes, funding for green initiatives, local agriculture, and support for alternative transportation like e-bikes or other PEVs to start

What the fuck
So some time between 1975 and 2000. If only the graphs had some labels near the relevant part of the data…

Company that sent AI calls mimicking Joe Biden to New Hampshire voters agrees to pay $1 million fine
Reply in thread
That’s just the telecom company that transmitted the calls. If you read the posted text from the article, the guy who did it is facing criminal charges and a $6m fine

Biden says it’s ‘time to outlaw’ AR-15 after Trump assassination attempt

Yes, this is the exact intention of the second amendment. Armed resistance against tyrannical government. If the rise of fascism in America isn’t the time to use it, it’s meaningless.
The founding fathers envisioned state militias that would rival the power of the federal army and keep it in check. That ship has sailed, so it already lost a lot of its bite, but any power it still has can only be justified for that purpose

Not super familiar with it, but they have some sort of psychic field that turns their beliefs into reality. Pretty much all their technology only works because they believe it does

Generative AI creates playable version of Doom game with no code
Reply in thread
I mean, yes, technically you build and run AI models using code. The point is there is no code defining the game logic or graphical rendering. It’s all statistical predictions of what should happen next in a game of doom by a neural network. The entirety of the game itself is learned weights within the model. Nobody coded any part of the actual game. No code was generated to run the game. It’s entirely represented within the model.

Library Rebuild Suggestions
If you’re concerned about quality, re-encoding from a lossy format to another lossy format is always going to lose more quality. Even if the format you choose would have been better quality if it was encoded directly from the source, the result is almost certainly going to look worse than what you have now.

AI-generated child sex imagery has every US attorney general calling for action
Reply in thread
Actually, the image generation models can most likely generate that kind of material without ever having seen it before. There probably are people out there training them with real material, but it’s not an absolute prerequisite. They can generalize enough to create that combination from legal pornography and normal images of children

Reminder: Your lawn isn't "being invaded by weeds," it's undergoing natural selection.
Not mowing in some places means letting it turn into an overgrown, unusable mess. I’m all for more natural and beneficial lawns, but just letting tall grasses and things grow until it’s hard to walk in and looks abandoned isn’t an option in a lot of cases. There might need to be to be a bit more artificial selection involved.
