So now everytime they shoot someone they can just claim the footage is evidence and can’t be released while also convincing some people they don’t need to film anymore. That’s my guess, at least.

Yeah, I don’t really give a shit what this bitch has to say. They could just, you know, release the files instead.

I remember last year when there was a trend of AI generated videos that depicted animals or people doing ridiculous and crazy things on doorbell cameras. Everyone was surprised at how realistic they looked but never questioned why there was enough training data of doorbell cameras to make them in the first place.

Not that relevant, but it makes it pretty clear how “private” this data was in the first place.

I live in the mountains and they aren’t even snowcapped this year. Still feels like September and I can easily go outside in a t-shirt most days. Even when it does snow, which has only happened three times so far this season, it melts by the late afternoon.

I wonder what the actual price comparison is for hiring an artist to do your logo or paying for a premium image generation service. At least an actual artist wouldn’t write “I just farted” all over the logo so there is that.

Sure thing keyboard warrior. I bet you feel like such a touch guy as you do jack shit about it. At least these people are protesting while you sit behind a screen and explain why other people need to make sacrifices for you like you are the main character.

I’m so tired of this bullshit response. It’s like watching sports and saying what you’d do in that situation when you have no idea what you are talking about. What the fuck are they supposed to do? Anything they do besides protest will put their lives immediately in danger and they could potentially die. Believe it or not, most people don’t want to die. That’s kinda the whole point of these protests. None of us want to die or get kidnapped.

I get it, we are all angry and this is all bullshit. But I’m so tired of people saying “yeah but I’d fight back and you should too” while most never even go to protests. Stop shaming people for not doing what you want to see them do with the buffer of your phone screen. You are basically saying “yeah but why didn’t you die for them?” While you sit on the fucking toilet.

I don’t mean to sound divisive, but it really seems like only one of these groups is consistently doing the shooting.

I mean, you took the first sentence out and ignored the rest of what I said. My point was that yes that is a reason, but it’s not the only reason. My point was they don’t wanna sell to consumers because Elon Musk is just gonna pre-order their entire stock for the next two years.

What’s crazy is that they aren’t just doing this because they make more money with AI. They’re doing this because these AI companies have basically pre-ordered a fuck ton of components that have not been manufactured yet to be put into computers that haven’t even been made yet for datacenters that are not even built yet all on an electrical grid that hasn’t caught up. As long as the manufacturers get paid they don’t really give a shit, but this is so unsustainable it would be hilarious if it weren’t so catastrophic for the rest of us. And as long as the line goes up as they all circle jerk their money around they’ll all be happy and can pretend the economy is good.

I mean, slavery was only abolished about 161 years ago in 1865 and the Civil Rights act was only about 62 years ago in 1964. A lot of the older people in our government were in their teens or kids when the civil rights movement was going on. This isn’t some kind of past that we’ve left behind, it’s literally the present as our elected officials have carried their prejudices into old age. And these same boomers could have even had great grand parents that owned slaves.

Yes, it’s generational hate that they’ve passed onto our generations. But that implies that those exact same people aren’t around anymore which they very much are and are running the government and making the rules. I mean, Trump was almost 20 when the Civil Rights Act was signed and I don’t think he was someone that was on the right side of that fight.

Obviously I’m writing this from the perspective of a white person and what I’m saying sounds pretty ignorant, and I get that. But at the same time this seems to be something people with privilege seem to forget. We’ve definitely made a lot of progress in a short period of time but it’s barely been half a century. I’m sure most people of color have a family member that had to fight for their rights and were told about it when they were growing up and already understand everything I just said. Realistically we didn’t even make it a couple generations before we went to… This. And it’s kind of pathetic and disappointing.

They think this is a definitive proof that she tried to kill him. They’re saying this is body cam footage and that him putting his phone down to grab his gun was him getting hit. They’ve already forgotten every other video out there.

As a feet guy, I will never forgive people like him that have turned the foot fetish into the joke it is today. Makes us all look like creeps and it’s almost impossible to bring it up in conversation in any serious way anymore.

Also he’s kinda just an awful person. Most of the time he adds himself into his own movies it’s so he can be a creepy perv or so he can say the n word.

Some of his movies are pretty good though.

I’ll believe it when I see it. And not some bullshit ass AI generated photo that Trump will inevitably post. I mean real proof. Since when has Trump told the truth? And remember back in the day with Bush and his huge “mission accomplished” sign?

It doesn’t take a lot of tech skill to be an exec for a tech company. My guess is they fall into the same category as those that see the AI overview on Google and think “wow this is so much better” and never second guess the results.

If you think Lemmy doesn’t have a bot problem I’m sorry to be the one to burst your bubble. Sure, it seems less pervasive over here but they are just as numerous. The only difference is bots you agree with and bots you don’t. There’s only one group of bots you are going to be sceptical about and it’s getting harder to spot them by the day.

But also, Reddit isn’t doing jack shit about it these days. I go there to check the news sometimes when things are slow everywhere else and it’s literally just the same bot accounts posting the same articles and bots of various political affiliations posting in the comments. You basically have to cross check everything you see on the internet. Sure, it’s a good idea to do so regardless of bots, but the “magic” of other people being on the internet is basically dead.

Nobody in the AI industry, tech, or government cares. He says all the buzzwords and gives them all what they want. What he says is basically irrelevant at this point. Until something actually happens we’re all gonna read about some sort of “gotcha” moment every day as if it makes a difference so we can have our rage moments and move on after we get our dopamine hit by calling him a moron.

Not talking shit on anyone here, I’m just tired. And I’m tired of seeing a similar headline day after day as if it changes anything.

Personally, I’d absolutely love to watch a bunch of white people do competitive speed walking. That shit sounds hilarious. I imagine the commentary would be on par with dog show commentary.

Do the people convicted of crimes related to marijuana get their sentences reclassified too?

I have a thermos and thermos-like metal coffee cup with a lid and it’s saves so much money it’s stupid. I found out I was spending $30-$40 a week on energy drinks.

Jokes on them though because I found out caffeine doesn’t affect me at all so now my “coffee” is just hot chocolate. 🤫
