  • OpenAI Says Dead Teen Violated TOS When He Used ChatGPT To Plan Suicide

    Jump

  • Probably not shitty parents. There's a zillion causes for suicidal thoughts that have nothing at all to do with parenting.

    If they were super religious and/or super conservative though... Those are actual causes of teen suicide. It's not the religion, it's the lack of acceptance of the child (for whatever reason, such a LGBTQ+ status).

    Basically, parenting is only a factor if they're not supportive, resulting in the child feeling rejected/isolated. Other than that, you could be model parents and your child may still commit suicide.

  • Colorado’s pay transparency law increased wages across the board, study finds

    Jump

  • Democrats: "Pay transparency laws increase pay for workers across the board!"

    Republicans: "YES! Exactly! Finally we agree on something! This is why we fought so hard to block them!"

  • Someone At YouTube Needs Glasses: The Prophecy Has Been Fulfilled

    Jump

  • You jest, but if conservatives have their way, you'll soon have to verify your ID by uploading a video every time you visit the site (if not logged in). Even for non-adult content!

    Because the reason for the ID isn't to "protect the children" or anything like that. It's about control. Conservatives want the power to decide what people get to see and ID verification systems are just a small part of that.

  • How would a feminine Doppelbock be named?

    Jump

  • Doppelblume. It means "double blossom".

    Alternatives:

    • Domina Doppel
    • Endowed Doppel
    • Satin/Silk/Velvet Doppel
    • Double-D Doppel

  • Study claims to provide first direct evidence of dark matter

    Jump

  • So... just like on Earth, the majority of the universe is full of wimps! And Black Holes are the universe's version of, "suck it up, buttercup!"

  • Trump Declares Biden’s ‘Autopen’ Turkey Pardons ‘Invalid’ at Thanksgiving Ceremony

    Jump

  • This is fowl play!

  • I Set A Trap To Catch Students Cheating With AI. The Result Was Deflating

    Jump

  • I dunno... What if a bunch of students got together, seized a data center, then used the AI hardware inside to generate their papers on Marxism?

  • Standardization rule

    Jump

  • It took until 2021 but we can finally say, "we live in a society."

    Because we have standards.

  • Bunch of asses, that's why!

  • Man in Taiwan somehow gets 8cm by 6cm ceramic cup in bottom, claims it got there 'by accident'

    Jump

  • A "minor slip-up during a 'bottoms up moment'" fits this problem to a tea.

  • Human brains have 5 distinct 'epochs' in a lifetime, study finds

    Jump

  • New maximum age to run for office just dropped: 66

  • Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy

    Jump

  • It's because economists haven't got the memo yet that informs them that smartphones have been recategorized as, "durable goods".

  • 'Embarrassing' for Trump: Halligan’s job as US attorney is toast after Comey ruling

    Jump

  • It's good to know that incompetence is still the guiding principle of the Trump administration 👍

  • Pentagon says it's investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for video urging troops to defy 'illegal orders'

    Jump

  • Let's look at the logic here: If we don't expect troops to defy illegal orders, that means some commanding officer could order his troops to kill the president 🤔

    That's illegal but... The Trump administration thinks orders should be followed no matter what.

  • Doesn't matter: Nobody uses right shift for anything but pinball games!

  • How can you tell if music is AI-generated?

    Jump

  • I'm in the camp of, "if it's good, why should I care?" However, I'm all for transparency! Passing off AI-generated music as human-generated is fraud. Be honest!

    There's a LOT of grey areas though. If you're a vocalist and you're using an AI-generated background? How's that any different from pressing "play" on a sequencer or even an audio file (of some sequenced or drum track)?

    If you're a lyricist, the actual music isn't as important as the lyrics. Does it matter if they used AI to generate the music or should every lyricist be forced to pay someone to make the music for them or master an instrument (or sequencer)?

    What if you're trying to translate your music into a different language and use AI to translate it? Is that AI-generated music? You can give your whole damned song to AI and it'll convert to a different language in-place without having to re-record it. It even uses your singer's voice!

    To me, it's incredible technology and it's enabling artists of all kinds to do cool things with their music. It seems rather paternalistic to suggest someone's creativity doesn't "count" if they didn't sweat or spend years practicing to create it.

  • Google tells employees it must double capacity every 6 months to meet AI demand

    Jump

  • We need some massive breakthroughs in AI efficiency soon or we're going to literally run out of RAM manufacturing capacity for all the things. The situation is so bad that in no time at all you're likely to be put on a six-month waiting list to buy a new PC/laptop or mobile phone.
