If you are looking to subcontract some of that workload, I only need 1 mil to talk shit online

I recently got “Yakuza Like a Dragon” from my Humble Choice bundle and it’s so good it’s made me want to check the rest of the series.

I used to believe this too. I was corrected and informed that if it collected as a donation it is not the company making the donation and they can not gain tax benefits from it. They also aren’t paying a sales tax on that money either.

The benefit is exclusively the good PR from arranging the donation, which to be fair, they did. If the donation came through a credit card they may have covered the ~3% transaction fee, although they could potentially write that off for the portion that the donation increased the fee by.

I mean yeah… if he had a solution they would be actually have the revolutionary AI tool the tech writers write about.

It’s kinda written like a “gotcha” but it’s really the fundamental problem with AI. We call it hallucinations now but a few years ago we just called it being wrong or returning bad results.

It’s like saying we have teleportation working in that we can vaporize you on the spot but are just struggling to reconstruct you elsewhere. “It’s halfway there!”

Until the AI is trustworthy enough to not require fact checking it afterwards it’s just a toy.

Facial recognition still struggles with really bad mistakes that are always bad optics for the business that uses it. I’m amazed anyone is still willing to use it in its current form.

It’s been the norm that these systems can’t tell the difference between people of dark pigmentation if it even acknowledges it’s seeing a person at all.

Running a system with a decade long history or racist looking mistakes is bonkers in the current climate.

Honest reviews prevent bad reviews from others and returns. They should be embraced for what they are and a blueprint for what you’ve done well and where there is room for improvement.

Yes and no. San Jose has many many programs to assist the homeless, but some of them are dying in the creeks with flooding. We also have relatively new initiatives for reporting encampment to outreach groups instead of the police.

Not everywhere is a safe place for someone to settle. It’s one thing to have a person spend the night somewhere, but services like these may help identify encampments that are establishing in areas at risk of flooding etc before they get too entrenched.

They got bait and switched is my understanding. The game they played included the content from the micro transactions without them being informed they weren’t part of the base game.

Correct. They want you to buy a dev kit for $450.

Makes me think of the Key & Peele sketch where the bank robbers’ plan is to get jobs at the bank and get steal the money week after week in the form of paychecks.

Yeah, we know. But again… the whataboutism. Countries exist because of war and oppression. It’s time to move past that as an excuse.

This is a joke, though, as you are just projecting and doing what you’ve accused me of. Just don’t bother. Rounding up and sterilizing your citizens. And China famously gunned protesters down in the streets. So I don’t want to hear about how we handle protesters compared to China.

Bro… the current leadership of China committed genocide on their own soil and have been attempting to expand their borders for decades.

China is not a good partner for playing the lesser of 2 evils game. You’d be at it all day with the whataboutism.

I recall something about this with Boris Johnson being intentional. That may be what’s happening here. It’s so bad that your political opponents fixate on it, and half the articles written about you are about your dumb looks instead of your monstrous policies.

Good find!

The worst part of this is the HOA. Although I have to assume they are pretty hands-off if the cabin is in this state. Having someone look over your shoulder while you fix up your shack sounds terrible.

A plate of nachos might be a salad.

The tech and price still aren’t there yet. Until these can fit in your pocket or cost a weeks salary for your average person, it’s just a luxury toy very few will ever use.

It’s actually not saying that at all. I specifically said that I expected her to dislike it.

The rest of us, less emotionally invested in the person as a person and more as a deceased performer, will have differing opinions.

The creators of this and articles around it keep referring to it as an impression that speaks to their motives a little. This is why i used that common colloquialism. I suspect that the timing of this may be motivated by recent news surrounding the actors’ strikes.

Demonstrating how this could be used to convincingly create content from an actor without any of their intentional input (evident by him being dead) should make people question these capabilities more, just like they did when people first started seeing convincing deep fakes.

My thoughts exactly. It’s being represented as exactly what it is, but I don’t think the daughter raised by George Carlin would be happy about it.

It reminds me of the quote, “Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”

They can. Make it mandatory on any new construction and require it as a part of remodels while offering solar incentives for their covevered parking lots.

Governments exist to help with stuff like this.

I dunno, I get $25 every quarter for wearing the same pedometer I did before I worked there. 4 extra wellness days each year, which are basically extra paid holidays that you don’t have family obligations tied to. Learning budgets to get me certifications on their dime. Month long paid sebatical after 3 years every 3 years.

Some wellness programs are alright. If the company actually means it.
