A few tells

• fridge in the yard?
• snowman is too perfect
• not enough snow to make said snowman
• asymmetrical townhouse (different windows, etc.)

But the biggest giveaway

• the bricks on the house are of inconsistent sizes. Sometimes they are too long, sometimes too short. If you zoom in it becomes apparent (easiest to see on the right half of the house)

Because it’s an AI generated photo

AI generated cat photo :( was going to share this with my poker buddies until I noticed.

The white poker chip inserts are all fucked.

Unfortunate that they used an AI image to represent it though. It’s added another horn to the triceritops

This is setting off my AI-slop alarm

• the top two and bottom two are in strikingly similar possess with similar angles and framing
• why are there extra mascara appliers on the right for the top two? (I’ve never used mascara so I might just be ignorant of this)
• each mascara applier tip is slightly different, so it’s not just the same one photoshopped in multiple times

I’ve heard the idea that an addiction becomes an addiction once it starts negatively impacting your life.

i.e. missing scheduled events, getting angry at people when you can’t have it, lying to others about it, etc.

But I am not a licensed anything so hopefully someone else who knows what they’re actually talking about also answers

That’s not the same as the post’s photo, though. Did someone redraw it in more detail, or did someone put it through an AI image generator to look like that?

Oh that makes sense, sorry I misunderstood!

Yep, they/them/theirs is used in the same place as he/him/his or she/her/hers. It/it/its should not be used for people unless someone explicitly says those are their preferred pronouns. “It” is typically used for objects and non-human animals, so it could be seen as rude to refer to a human as “it.” If unsure, use they/them.

Using “they” for a singular person has been used since at least the 14th century, so there’s no need to feel uncomfortable with it. I highly recommend reading the Wikipedia page on Singular they, which touches on its history.

A similar example is “you.” “You” used to be only a plural, with “thou” being the singular, but over time it fell out of fashion and now “you” can be used as singular or plural, like how “they” can be singular or plural.

Singular “they” was criticised by some people hundreds of years after it started being used. But language cannot be prescribed; it is determined by how people use it.

It’s “whet your appetite” in case anyone was interested. But the misspelling is probably part of the meme

I loved the episodes about coin flipping and tying shoes!

Yeah I was reading about the editing guidelines and they have a principle that surprised me at first:

Verifiability, not truth.

Basically, you could edit an article with information you know is true (like your bedrooms or fireplaces), but truth is not the criteria that edits get tested upon. It must be verifiable by a source.

Pretty cool that you didn’t just give up and actually got the local newspaper to interview you! That’s awesome!

Came to ask the same thing.

Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.

I suspect it’s not a lack of playtesters that’s the problem, but harsh deadlines and crunch. That type of environment leads to tech debt to get things working fast, which leads to hard-to-manage code, which leads to bugs…

I’m confused — GPUs main function is to be able to do lot’s of calculations in parallel, vs a CPU which does one thing at a time (simplistically).

GPUs aren’t only used solely for video, it’s just that graphics are an excellent use case for this type of processing.

So I don’t think AI companies are buying GPUs for video output and more because they can process lots of training calculations in parallel. Like how bitcoin miners use GPUs even though there’s no video involved in that

I like Mullvad browser

Hey, watch what you’re sayi—waaaaiiit a miinnnuuute

They needed the actual phone to take this photo

The person with the anime profile pic has the “no under 18” emoji (🔞) so they probably either make or share NSFW content. My guess is the OP checked out their profile and found Nintendo and Omori NSFW stuff and responded with a targeted quip

It’s already happened. I don’t think there were any Trojan Horse-style jokes unfortunately
