    My elderly parents showing me clearly AI videos of a $30 robot puppy...

    I couldn't convince them it was AI. I tried to explain CGI with shit like Pixar and Disney movies but it didn't work. NICOO puppy

    That shit should be illegal.

    They must have known that CGI in Pixar and Disney movies is very different from an AI-generated video and concluded that you had no idea what you were talking about based on that inaccuracy.

    "Computers can make up things that look real. Like superhero movies and kid movies (disney/Pixar). This AI crap just made it cheaper and easier so there's lots of fake stuff everywhere"

    I worked at a hospital for 20 years… in IT,

    Hi there, I work in a small lab just upstairs and was wondering if it's okay if I spoof a few MAC addresses to get wired internet and then use my personal VPN to torrent a few GB's of films and games? I'm sure you understand

    I mean, a few GB would probably be done in a few seconds, so no big deal, just don't seed past 1.5. The VPN actually makes it easier on the routers if there's any NAT going on because the VPN handles managing the individual connection forwarding table.

    Now if you said a few TB, that might be an issue.
