As long as the number of people newly being convinced that AI generated bounty demands are a good way to make money equals or exceeds the number of people realising it isn't and giving up, the problem remains. Not helped, I imagine, th

I can't remember the exact figures, but apparently if you'd taken the "insane thing does not happen" option on every Trump related contract over the past years, you'd have made a very tidy profit. Not because he doe

That's certainly a take. If the menu says sirloin steak and doesn't mention any sauces, and I order a medium rare sirloin steak without mentioning any sauces, then I rather expect to get exactly what I think I'm ordering, a m

You appear to be talking about Conchita Wurst? He was 11 years ago and there's no need for the veiled transphobia, he was just a regular drag queen. It really says a lot about you, to be frank, that this heady geopolitical topic comes

The majority of the popular male musicians there are comparably photogenic to the females, Sheeran is really the major exception and he's not even ugly, just Distinctive in a way that's easily matched by Sia and personally I'

It would be sensible for you to examine and interrogate why reading a general and fairly anodyne opinion about what might be a solution to a problem some people have led you to interpret it as a prescriptive and judgemental suggestion about

Very few lol, I haven't even tried it myself to be honest but I couldn't quite think of a better way to express what I meant. It's more that if you've ever looked into the kinds of tricks that are necessary to do it, and

Ever try implementing a mirror in a video game? They're just inherently magical objects, portals into an illusory world, you see into them in a way you don't with a picture. A magical talking picture just wouldn't hit the s

This is a really important thing to keep in mind with these studies, we don't actually know that we're curing Alzheimer's in these mice. We don't even know if mice really get Alzheimer's in the way we do. What we&#x
