No, you have to register yourself with a video where you're required to say a unique code. So unless you've posted a video of yourself online saying every number from 1 to 99 they won't be able to copy your likeness

If AI kicks off another "industrial revolution" level of productivity gains the profits could be well into the quadrillions of dollars. Sounds ridiculous but remember that the $10 T-shirt you're wearing would have taken a wee

Hmm, unfortunately it looks like my preferred game (StarCraft II) doesn't run on Crossover according to their site. Too bad. The "Mac-native" version of SC2 is awful, I have to run it on the lowest graphics settings on my $3,

In theory this is where zero-knowledge proofs can come in. That would allow you to apply transforms to the video (crop, contrast, resize etc) and be able to prove the exact transform that was applied. However it's still computationally

I'm in the same boat. Windows 11 was so unbelievably bad that I switched to Mac overnight, after 25 years on MS. Mac isn't perfect but the hardware is top notch and they're not trying to embed ads into the OS. The only things

ChatGPT Pulse has actually done a great job at this for me. It knows about an upcoming vacation I have planned and gave me some specific news about closures and events there, with recommendations on what activities to book in advance.

I'm optimistic about the Sora app! My hope is that it becomes much more whimsical and fun than TikTok because everyone on the app knows that all content is fake. Hopefully that means less rage-bait and more creative content, like OG Yo

Unfortunately also disappointed with it in Cursor vs GPT-5-Codex. I asked it to add a test for a specific edge case, it hallucinated some parameters and didn't use existing harnesses. GPT-5-Codex with the same prompt got everything rig

Reminder that London is the most surveilled city in the world and also has very high petty crime. Nonstop recording doesn't change anything unless laws are actually enforced.

I'll share something! I really enjoy this artist @kant, it's rap which isn't everyone's cup of tea but here's one of his more approachable songs. https://suno.com/song/07ab552c-1a76-43f4-a619-21

I go to church every Sunday despite having zero belief in Jesus or God as they describe him. The sermons are socially relevant and thought-provoking, the congregation is caring and fun with cool social events, and the good that they're

That's why I haven't been to a Ticketmaster-run show in years. Went to one crappy show that I paid $400 for and felt completely ripped off, haven't been back. There are plenty of local concerts and events that are like $15 co

What's the window command? I'm able to use things like "Top Left Sixth" on the free plain. AFAIK you only the pro for the AI features.

Interestingly, "more steerable" can sometimes be a bad thing, as it will tend to follow your prompt to the letter even if that's against your interests. It requires better prompting and generally knowing what you're doin
