I fail to see any potential desirable outcome from what you think is a good result. If it's not good, oh boy, just what we need, a greater deluge of slop obscuring the work that took serious work and talent and vision to create. If it is as good as you hope, why would I care about anything you...

What does this actually mean in terms of AI's capability to create general code? Optimizing an algorithm is objectively measurable, which is much different than a product where success is much more subjective, like designing a website's UI.

I have seen you post here several times and what really amazes me is that even when someone went out of their way to agree with you in the thread, you threw it in the garbage and kept trying to stick people with needles. Do you ever self reflect and wonder if maybe this is something that is...

I had to reread this like five times just to make sure you're saying what it appears you are. You're saying that the idea of flavoring wouldn't take off because.. people have different tastes? How do you think a restaurant makes money? Do you only eat Soylent because all food tastes the same...

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the potential for being used with VR pornography if it works well enough. Buy a compatible toy molded to the shape of your favorite pornstar's genitals and use the complimentary files to experience giving them sensually convincing head customized to their...

Damn, you got me before I could fix it. I am on mobile and accidentally fumble fingered "Post reply" when I tried to add the URL to the link I included.

A week and a half ago, I previously wrote a comment about how I believe the existence of AI generated sexual images of minors should be handled by society, and that the outrage is generally wildly overblown because actual children are not involved with or harmed by the creation of these images...

One step closer to asking the last question, I see.

This is apparently difficult for you to understand, but most rational people prefer to make decisions based on evidence and consequences instead of self-righteousnessly punishing whatever disgusts them.

I'm not really even convinced that this is a real problem. If anything, my intuition says that it's the opposite. Let's think about this from a more high level perspective. What is it, exactly, that pedophiles are looking to experience in order to be satisfied? Is a sadistic need to...

You, the consumer, can, right now, purchase a 200MB data plan for your phone that costs $2.50 a month. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133196831828 On the scale of millions of devices with guaranteed revenue, I think cellular companies would be happy to provide IoT data plans for a dollar a month...

Oh my god. This sounds like an actual nightmare. Imagine this, except it's not a joke: View: https://youtu.be/KjB6r-HDDI0?si=qgMXPRCSfOzQEKUE Just wait until they start soldering cellular modems with eSIMs into the motherboard for the sole purpose of keeping the advertising current, and then...

Hot take here: I actually think this is good for similar reasons. Walk into a city hall meeting and immediately know everything about your elected officials. Greet the police officer who pulled you over for a speeding ticket with "Hello, Mr. XXXXX of 1234 Rhetorical Lane, how are you today, by...

I'm guessing this has something to do with the story that came out immediately after this article: What gives me that impression? I would also like to refer to the masterpiece made by Existential Comics, "Is A Hotdog A Sandwich? A Definitive Study".

I'm looking at a lot of potential for the coolest set of roleplaying dice in your geographic region.

Damn, that's three Machine56 helmets (my preferred unit of large monetary value) worth of scratch for a rock in a ring. At least an ancient million dollar computer could put men on the moon, precious jewelry mostly puts men into debt...

What I imagine is suspending a diamond screen in 3D space, sort of like a trampoline, to dampen sudden forces from being transmitted to the surface from any direction, instead of from just the viewing perspective of the screen... but I doubt that it would ever see real world use even if it...

That diamond is cut into a roughly pyramid shape, aka the most rigid 3D shape in terms of force distribution (other than, perhaps, the sphere). A flat, thin sheet of diamond would likely be orders of magnitude easier to shatter. Skip to 15:49 for a demonstration of how glass is way less brittle...

A diamond phone screen would likely be much more fragile than you think. Nearly impossible to scratch, yes, but the extreme hardness of diamonds actually makes them rather brittle. You can easily shatter one with a hammer. View: https://youtu.be/l0EXgYA7ve8?si=0QJgtOBa7FdzFwMk

I highly disagree. Making drugs legal, to me, isn't about freedom, it's about safety. My girlfriend died the day after Christmas last year from overdosing on fentanyl. It's hard to keep an addiction from being fatal when you don't know what and how much you are taking.
