It depends on the product. I don’t want to be served slop, designed to generate mindless clicks but if AI is secondary to something being produced by a human, for humans, I’m a little less upset about it.

Examples: SNL used an AI photo as an illustration for a weekend upstate story joke. The star of the show was the news story and the punchline to follow. The illustration helps the delivery, but isn’t the product.

I could also understand (for example) AI-generated background music when creating a video on YouTube, so long as the purpose of the video is worth a damn.

With such a strictly utilitarian outlook on life, I bet you’re a joy at parties. Why even bring one of your favorite foods to share when that’s supposed to be the host’s job?

Friendly reminder that SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in an opinion authored by none other than Neil Gorsuch that discrimination by sexual orientation and gender identity is inherently discrimination by sex. If that was actually the reason, that school is in for a rough time.

I’m assuming this is just for felonies? I was on a 6-person jury in Colorado (obviously relatively progressive) recently, but it was a misdemeanor. I believe felony cases have the full 12.

Ahhh yeah, I forgot some places (generally including Chicago, it would seem) do that.

If they do, can they also fully capitalize HUSSEIN in the name, as someone else seems to insist on doing all the time?

To shreds, you say?

The receipt will span the entire pool. I mean, it would anyway for a candy bar at that place but it will here too!

There are quite a few exceptions built into HIPAA. I’m sure there would be something as you describe, but also there are things like if a crime occurred on the premises of the provider (or whatever) and they think they recognize the person in their security footage as a patient, they can give that information to law enforcement (as one would expect with non-healthcare organizations).

Another is that if someone is talking with a patient in a double room with only a curtain separating, someone overhearing the conversation is considered incidental and not a HIPAA violation

I don’t think that he’ll be that much more prominent over this happening

That’s what you’re clinging to at this point? How do I know it wasn’t all a ploy? Dude, excuse me for one adjective mixed in my comment but not everything is the conspiracy you seem to want it to be

I do? I was fact-checking a specific point. I never said that the Democrats were the infallible party of the people, but because I gave more detail about a vague, misleading-at-best statement that means I need to defend everything else?

I like facts and knowledge. You can’t develop a good opinion without it. And when I see misinformation, even from people I generally agree with, I try to set the record straight.

When it comes to minimum wage, as the initial commenter mentioned. Not everything under the sun

Other guy: “Democrats didn’t even raise minimum wage”

Me: “Well, they tried that one thing. Here’s what happened for that particular issue, how it was attempted, and how the Senate’s screwed up rules stopped them”

You: “But they didn’t block the train strike!”

…

Anyway, yes, you got your point across. If only it had anything to do with mine of what happened on a different day

And if you change the subject you can always get your point across. Great job.

I’m talking about minimum wage and nothing else.

Where the cameras went says a lot about who the system is built to watch.

That really doesn’t tell me who, considering there are about 3x that number placed elsewhere. Did they really not have security cameras previously?

I’ll grant that they didn’t even try for a standalone minimum wage increase. I’d be curious to know how that would go too. But it was meant to go into one of the earlier spending bills that had to be passable by a simple majority. Those kinds of bills have certain requirements, or else they’re subject to the fucked up filibuster rules the Senate has.

The Senate parliamentarian ruled that a minimum wage increase was more than a budget change and did not fit those requirements. I thought Democrats’ argument that it affected revenue via resulting taxes and therefore budgeting was a reasonable one, but it didn’t quite fly.

Anyway, to say “the Ds couldn’t even be bothered to increase minimum wage under Biden” is a little disingenuous IMO. They did make one honest effort, at least, and anything else was pretty much doomed.

convicted and not just hearsay mind you

Just because I’m an absolute stickler for stuff like this… He was not, technically. “Convicted” means that he was found guilty in a criminal (government accused you of a crime) trial, beyond a reasonable doubt (that is, if the jury thought a defense could be reasonable, even if not totally likely, they must find the defendant not guilty).

The only sex-related trial Trump has gone through was the E Jean Carroll case. That was a civil case, where the defendant may or may not be found liable based on a preponderance of evidence (that is, jury found something was more likely than not the case and doubts that say otherwise are ok). The jury in that case found that yes, Trump sexually assaulted her and the actions that followed constituted defamation. Worth noting too that the jury found (by that same standard) that what he did was not rape her, although the judge later clarified that the actions constituted rape.

The reason I bring this up is that the jury had a much lower bar here than they would need for a conviction. They could have been 60% sure and that would fly for the trial he was in, but not for a criminal trial.

The US $100 bill was introduced in 1914 and would have been worth over $3,300 in today’s dollars. Even if that’s only about half what $10k SGD is worth, that’s still a hell of a long time to hold that ceiling
