The problem is that most people don't want multiple text apps, they just want one. I had gotten a number of people using signal, and it was secure when we talked, but when signal dropped SMS, almost every one of them stopped using it, so then none of their conversations were secure.
There's for sure the "offness," but there are also things like the lack of veins in the cat's ear, which we'd see with the like coming through like that. But I agree, they're getting very good.
This thread makes me so sad about the future. Here we have a bunch of folks who are absolutely convinced that a real image is AI generated, some even after being shown that it predates AI image generators. But we live in a time when there are a giant number of real images online, the only AI generated images are very recent, and most of those have things like extra fingers. What's it going to be like in twenty years, when image generators are so much better and there are so many more generated images? Having a photo of something will prove nothing.
I always try to explain to people that the key is the last two letters: language model. An LLM is a model of what a conversation should look like. Ask it a question and it's intended to give you a response that looks like the right kind of thing. So if you ask it for a mathematical proof, it will give you one, but unless the thing you're asking has the same proof written the same way in lots of places online, what it gives you won't be correct, and probably won't actually make sense mathematically, but it will look like the right kind of thing.
So likewise, if you ask it for relationship advice, it's going to give you something that looks legit, but you're an idiot if you get your relationship advice from an LLM.
It's a great series, but was one of the things that spurred me to get a digital library card; I was spending so much money on books. That's worked out great.
That's funny, and good on you for not being intimidated into being rushed or leaving. If they want to lock the stuff up, they should deal with the impact.
My wife and I have been paying attention to which companies are making significant donations to conservatives, and have been avoiding doing business with them, but now it's getting tough as everyone is expected to kiss the ring. It's about to the point where it might be easier to make a list of companies that haven't.
Just recently, my wife wanted an eyebrow pencil, so we popped into a drugstore. All the makeup stuff was behind locked cabinets. We just turned around and went to a different store.
It seems like a particularly bad idea for anything that people might want to look at different versions of. If I wanted AA batteries that were locked, I might be okay saying, "Hey, can you grab me the batteries?" But for something that I want to look through the options, I'm not going to do that with the employee standing there tapping their foot.
I see a lot of recipes that have different temperatures if the pan is black or nonstick. It makes sense that you'd need to reduce the temp for the cast iron.
