The flailing around and constant changing of plans is probably just theater. Whatever else happens, they will always flood the zone with shit. Whatever the plan is, the news is only a vague indicator of it.
Such a sad ending when the Beast transforms into a prince and Belle is trying to pretend like she's not completely gutted. Who the fuck even is this dude? That's not what she signed up for and we all know it.
It's just a weapon. It can be used by anybody, against anybody, for any reason. Being willing to use a weapon against other people doesn't mean you are justified in doing so. This particular weapon is probably most useful for disfiguring people. There's a fair chance that some over-entitled ex-boyfriends and stalkers might find a use for it.
Give it a couple of months. They'll be dunking on AOC for not being a pedophile next. How can you be qualified for public office if you never went to the island? To a fascist, anything which denotes "them" is an acceptable insult.
This could mean the end of the great advertising war! The corporations want to stick their endless adverts in front of our eyeballs, we want to live without that crap. This gives us the possibility of a truce. They let us have internet and TV and operating systems and fridges with no adverts. In return, each of us sponsors one eyeball-equipped consciousness eternally trapped in the Torment Nexus. It's a reasonable compromise!
This could be exactly the scientific breakthrough we needed. Imagine a future where we all have one of these and it watches ads on your behalf. It can't close its eyes. It can't look away. it's the perfect audience!
It's a pretty huge step to arrest a member of the royal family. They even did it on his birthday, which is just the icing on the cake. In principle he doesn't deserve to be treated differently from any other pedo rapist, but in practice, I don't think the police would be doing this unless they really mean business. It would be too risky for the careers of everyone involved, unless they had a rock solid case and no choice but to proceed with it. Better stock up on popcorn before it sells out.
Is it my imagination or are LLMs actually getting less reliable as time goes on? I mean, they were never super reliable but it seems to me like the % of garbage is on the increase. I guess that's a combination of people figuring out how to game/troll the system, and AI companies trying to monetize their output. A perfect storm of shit.
Pigment (or really anything that absorbs/blocks light) is subtractive color. CMY(K) is commonly used in printing, but you could just as easily use RGB pigments instead.
There's a reason CMYK is used for printing. How are you going to mix RGB pigments to get yellow? R+G won't work. That's because red ink filters out green and blue light, and green ink filters out red and blue light. So mixing the two you get something that filters out a bit of everything but especially blue, ie. brown. CMY are used for subtractive color mixing because each one filters out just one of the colors we see (C filters out R, M filters out G, Y filters out B) so you can mix them to get most of the gamut you need.
I'm a bit on the fence here, because the bar is being set at "corresponding with" rather than "associating with". Perhaps you need to get in touch with some government official or some billionaire to get something done, and someone you know knows a guy who could put you in touch with them, so you send that guy an email. You just corresponded with someone. Would you have done a thorough background check on the middle man before sending an email?
I mean, I don't know if these cases are like that or not, but corresponding with someone doesn't in itself imply any kind of affiliation or knowledge about the person you communicate with.
