It's an effect of coordinated lobbying by think tanks established worldwide by the same people who trump this.

Not a coincidence that the Spanish far-right party leader shared a photo of himself meeting the Polish far-right party leader at the CPAC in USA earlier this year.

Trad wife = Maid-mom-slave with benefits

I'm seriously appalled at how brainwashed a woman has to be to agree to something like that... and guys who dig it, are just sick abusive intellectual buffoon sociopaths.

Either form a partnership, or go watch some porn, FFS.

That's why calling this a "genocide" is somewhat of a misnomer that falls short of the point: Gaza isn't about "race", ethnicity, or even religion, it's an extermination towards a land grab for control over territorial waters with oil/gas deposits.

Persecution of Palestinians in the rest of Israel... that one is "only" a genocide.

The future of all computing is AI. Get on or get left behind.

Satire?... hm... for quite some time already, people have been proposing we get rid of all software, and instead use real-time generative AI to render what some software would do.

AI cosplaying as software... imagine "web development", where the "browser" were an AI simulating to be a browser, connecting to an AI simulating to be a server... what would "web development" even mean anymore?

That's more interesting than the modified title, just saying.

There are 10 kinds of people: those who think they understand neural networks, those who try to understand neural networks, and those whose neural networks can't spot the difference.

Not a coincidence the amount of people who are bad at languages, communication, learning, or teaching. On the bright side, new generations are likely to be forced to get better.

What used to be done for decades, is being turned up to 100,000%. Instead of clever algorithms written directly by people, black-box AI algorithms and generative AI are being used to modify content so it fits better to the expectations of the old algorithms.

I wouldn't be surprised if new compression algorithms came out in the next years, openly taking advantage of generative AI to recreate the "original image"... "original intent/concept?"

I've been working on this since I was a teen: learning to be precise, but concise, and let it go.

Still haven't mastered it, and if let loose I'll write a wall of text or start talking about all the ramifications and dependencies, then worry about any misunderstandings... but over the years, I've learned that understanding works both ways.

If something I write or say, can have two, three, or more interpretations, and someone directly picks the worst and most offensive one, then goes on the attack... they can f off. I can learn, I can clarify, and extend the benefit of the doubt to others, but refuse to be a punch bag (...and it still takes some effort to not respond in kind).

They should be required to do an in-person inspection before rescinding coverage. Then, they could use AI to decide where the inspection isn't needed, saving money... but of course they're greedy and don't want to do that.

Nowadays, all digital media is becoming AI:

  • ALL digital photos/videos/audio get processed via software (RAW development, editing software)
  • ALL photo/video editing software uses AI (automatic curves and audio correction, AI-assisted compression)
  • Ergo: ALL photos/videos are AI
  • Corollary: old photos that were not AI, are also becoming AI as they get "remastered" and resaved.

Doesn't mean "generative AI", but spotting the difference is only going to become harder and harder.

What they were offering – through a programme titled Safe Place for Science – was a sort of “scientific asylum”, offering three years of funding at their facility for about 20 researchers.

On Thursday the university said it had received 298 applications in a month, of which 242 were deemed eligible. The applicants hailed from institutions such as Johns Hopkins University, Nasa, Columbia, Yale and Stanford, it said in a statement.

Most of the applications were sent using encrypted messaging, the university’s president, Eric Berton, wrote in the French newspaper Libération.

The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government.

The cable was sent out to embassies around the world under Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s name. The instructions also were released in a department-wide notice.

The cable encourages State Department employees to report on one another through a tip form that can be anonymous. “Reports should be as detailed as possible, including names, dates, locations (e.g. post or domestic office where the incident occurred,” the cable reads.

“It’s very ‘Handmaid’s Tale'-esque,” said one State Department official, who was granted anonymity because the individual was not allowed to speak openly about internal department affairs.

A Republican group is hoping to rally support to change the Constitution to allow President Donald Trump to seek a third term.

The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution was ratified in 1951 following the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected to four terms between 1933 and 1945. The two-term limit for presidents was introduced by Congress to prevent potential abuses of power.

The official White House social media accounts on X, Instagram and Facebook soon quoted his post, all sharing a fake magazine cover depicting an illustration of Trump smiling in a suit — and wearing a bejeweled golden crown.

It's unnerving to find an interesting post, with an interesting conversation, only to see it deleted (not even mod removed) with hanging replies in the inbox and no way to reply back.

Is there any feature that would allow continuing those conversations? Other than direct messages, which get "black holed" (no way to see own replies). Could these conversations be somehow continued, either recovered in Lemmy, or maybe via Mastodon?
