If part of the appeal of a vehicle is making you stand out because of how unique its design is, then the more that are sold, the less appeal they will have. Not a great strategy for making the vehicle popular.

And the more they sell, the less unique it becomes, so it loses the one appeal it may have.

I can see the appeal of having a vehicle that looks so unlike everything else on the road, but why do it with what is ostensibly a utility vehicle, at the expense of that utility?
Like, maybe expand your market so that people who actually require a truck can be new customers?

I miss when Humble Bundle required everything to be DRM-free. I passed on this last time because you only get DRM-encumbered files, and it's the same this time. Yeah, it may not be too difficult to crack, but I don't want to deal with it. I've read several of the books through the library, though.

There's no way to completely objectively judge content. Enforcement must be inconsistent. Trying to be too specific with rules will cause as many issues as not being specific enough.
If a user asks "would this be OK?" ahead of time, there is often too much ambiguity for a simple yes or no answer.

Sure, but I think the net result of training those models will be that fewer humans will have to look at horrific videos.

...Unless AI models make it so much easier to make horrific videos that it overwhelms the benefit of having the AI-assisted moderation.

It benefits everybody who doesn't want to view horrible things, besides these people doing classification.
And if more of the video moderating process can be automated through AI detection, perhaps there will be less need for as many human moderators to look at horrific content.

I would assume that much of the reason for the AI training is so that in the long run fewer people will have to watch horrific things on social media to do moderation. On the other hand, AI will make it easier to make horrific videos.

There are tens of billions of videos on the internet. Those videos need to moderated with or without AI. If anything, AI detection will make it less likely that humans will need to view a video in order for it to be rejected. Of course, on the flip side, AI makes it easier to make awful videos.

Just a couple days ago, I did the same search on Google two times in a row, and its AI overview gave completely opposite and contradictory answers.

You could ask that about any article on the internet from the past few years. I sometimes use AI for coding, but never for writing or art/illustration. I see no reason to suspect the author of this article is any different.

Why does this meme spam reply have hundreds of likes? It has nothing to do with the post it's replying to.

Do every animator you follow a favor and dont reply with that list of Adobe alternatives in their rightfully distressed posts about losing the core of their workflow
vou are not helping
They know already. That is not the problem.

every time adobe does stupid bullshit people come out in droves to post a list of software alternatives that only maybe have 1 or 2 basic functions in common, and it always reminds me of a kid's cookbook i had that said "why toast marshmallows over a campfire when you can dip cupcakes in sprinkles?"

Oh, they're killing off Flash? Don't worry, there's still (lists a bunch programs that aren't as good as Flash)

Bait for the credulous moron who runs Babylon Bee. And the guy he's quoting deceptively crops the image so it looks like the post has 40 likes, when it's a post dunking on JuneBug that has 40 likes. The original post has 1 like from a nobody, and 65+ replies and quotes rejecting their bigotry.

Joel Berry @JoelWBerry: Every communist rioter interfering with ICE operations needs to be sent here

SDocker @schmotdocker You want American citizens sent to a prison in another Country.
All time bootlicking by you here. Bravo, man. 

Joel Berry @JoelWBerry Not at all! They should obviously be stripped of citizenship first

Joel believes people should be stripped of their citizenship and sent to a foreign torture prison for the crime of blowing a whistle.

I could see a conservative asking if praying in front of an abortion clinic is illegal now because some people got arrested for blocking a clinic or harassing patients.
The act of praying does not give you extra rights to be somewhere.

In both cases, people were disrupting a space they weren't allowed to be in. I support the clergy, but the whole point of their actions was to provoke a response to get attention for their cause.

I support these clergy, but that's a silly comparison. Just like people blocking an abortion clinic can be arrested even if they happen to be praying.

The article isn't saying that Newsom should listen to strategists and consultants. It isn't saying that Newsom should moderate his positions. It's saying that he's already too late and that moderating some of his positions now will be ineffective at gaining new voters.

This initiative was started during the Biden administration.
Yes, It's bad that the Trump administration has cut research funding, but I don't think that has anything to do with this particular program.

I have no idea what the impact would be. I don't have the expertise to form an opinion. I was just correcting an incorrect interpretation of the headline.

No. The idea is that the drug companies get paid less when the treatment doesn't work. It doesn't transfer the bill to the patient.

You can't really come back to it. I tried that particular bit for quite a while and never got the cup, but I got to the end of the game. The main route isn't SUPER difficult if you don't do optional tasks, but there were a couple hard spots for me.

If someone posted the same image, but replaced "semitism" and "Jewish" in your image with Black, Muslim, or gay, and a fist or pride flag, what would you think of them?

You remind me of the people who say that race relations were great in America before Obama was elected and blame him for supposedly causing a resurgence in racism.
