Yup. That website's no good. Looks like it either does a new tab popup or redirects the page. I can still read it if I use a harsh filter.

So long as I know it uses AI generated vocals or instruments it's A-OK with me. It's an emerging genre. Whether it's junk is going to depend a lot on how the director corrals the output. I've listened to plenty of junk a

Could anyone recommend a Noam Chomsky talk about language? I'm curious about his work but have never read or listened to anything from the man.

Sounds like they're doing something when I look it up. It's hard to tell what the final outcome is going to be, but I do expect a big change.

That quote comes from an article ( https://grist.org/climate-energy/the-least-sustainable-city-... ) that argues that multiple infrastructure failures would be a disaster. I agree that there's a risk here in such

People have been moving from California to AZ since before 2000. We get plenty of people from all around the US. I generally don't want to care about California's policies because focusing on Arizona's policies is more practi

I'm a native too, though I've lived more in the "greater Phoenix area" than only Phoenix. It is comically true how we tend to live in AC bubbles. On one hand, I completely understand. When the heat is so heavy that you c

I got an ad for an AI legal consultant and it made me upset. Someone is trying to make a cheap buck by outsourcing legal advice to an unreliable source. Now I'm more prepared to explain how it's a bad idea, instead of just why. I

The local news article linked inside has some more details. https://www.wsaz.com/content/news/Anonymous-tip-claims-raw-m... I think it still might be illegal to "distribute" raw milk? After all this time

I was thinking of following along to the AI generated output for inspiration. But you're right that that's a major feature.

It took me until the 5th reading of Austria, including the title here once, to realize this wasn't about Australia.

I wish I could read that article. The comments imply it has more information.

Sounds like a "SolidGoldMagiKarp" issue, which is fairly benign. It's neat that something like that still exists in current LLMs.

You can use the pop out video feature in a web browser to see the video directly without any overlays. It works on Firefox, though managing that new pinned-on-top window is messy sometimes.

I think it's closer to tracing. If the end result of following an AI is capped by being somewhat flawed or the artist not learning certain skills, is that a bad thing? I see it as a limitation instead of a negative. Copying AI art can

Fair. It's important to have the facts straight.

Okay. Let's talk specifics. I log in to an end-to-end encrypted chat with a family member. We talk about life and the subject drifts to plane tickets we already bought for next month and how the neighbor across the street isn't go

This extremely short demo video was embedded in the article. It gives a good gist of what it does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEd3YbCeXYk

Neat to see this particular tech again. I think it's cool for art's sake. Something someone can use as they paint, so the final result is all their own brush strokes.

"It's already bad, I don't see why making it worse is a problem. It's just one more thing to worry about." There's more at stake here than passwords. These repeated screenshots are essentially a slow, silent vi

The data is still being recorded and saved. For example, it could make my security weaker by recording a password briefly displayed on screen. Now there's a second copy stored elsewhere on my computer than the password manager. Also, t

This could make for a good action scene in a movie. A hacker has to get access to data secretly, so they constantly minimize what they're doing every 10 seconds to avoid the AI monitor. In the end, just as they breathe a sigh of relief

No they won't. If you care so much, why do you not care more about the laws that give them full permission to do this? Edit: I'm being too harsh. To rephrase: No, I don't think they will. I think that history will sooner put

Its frustrating because it buries better points under mud. The effective way to reduce jet emissions is not to publicly rag on the people who have the money to use the service. I would go so far as to say that the author does not actually c

At least curate your AI's output. This needs better punctuation and could use some editing.

That single sentence makes a strong point. It illuminates a weak part of Wozniak's reasoning. But I still disagree, you've got to look for happiness where you're at.

So, what next? Without the ability to identify a hazard, I cannot make a meaningful change. This is very clearly not saying "all plastics" but instead "this plastic". That's a start... but how can I tell?
