I’m sure your comments were as thoughtful as this dumbass meme.

Same for me. I took multiple trips as a young adult where I just took scenery photos. Twenty years later I really regretted not including myself and family in those photos. Think of yourself in the future and skip sharing them online.

I just can’t begin to understand what this is supposed to mean.

This may be unpopular but I was deeply disappointed in Shawshank Redemption when I read it. The movie is top tier.

Edit: In retrospect this doesn’t really answer your question as you asked about bad movies with a worse book and Shawshank is definitely not a bad film.

When I was younger I read somewhere “If you give someone $20 and never see them again, it was probably worth it.” Accounting for inflation I think that perfectly fits your situation.

What year is it?

What in the pseudoscience is this?

My first year of residency (aka intern year) we were required to log our hours in an online system for purposes of compliance with the US rules you’ve outlined. During my first quarterly evaluation they pointed out that I was routinely violating work hours and that I needed to stop doing that or there would be consequences.

The implication was that I was doing something wrong and trying to work more than 80 hours a week.

In reality I was a completely powerless individual and I routinely had a ton of work dumped on me that took more time than was allotted. By framing it as my problem they made it quite clear: they had no intention of following the rules and I had better falsify my time-keeping records or face consequences.

I am not tech savvy but I expect that there is probably a large set of images that the model was trained on. Based on my experience, almost all images that could be labeled “German soldier, 1943” would show people with similar physical characteristics to the first of the four images. I guess my thesis is that I’m not sure that the historical context is necessary when the source/training data is likely fairly homogeneous. To get outputs such as they show in the example suggests that either the training data was not reliable or someone behind the scenes has their thumb on the scale to push the model toward racial/gender diversity even when that doesn’t match the input.

AI isn’t conscious, ergo no consent.

I’m so confused by this quote and hope there is something that was left out. If something isn’t conscious it seems that consent is not absent - it is inapplicable.

I challenge anyone to name a situation where consent is logically relevant to something that doesn’t have consciousness (e.g. something other than humans or animals).

Everybody is stuck on defending salt while I’m like….land? Like real estate? Because there are definitely reasons to buy nicer properties than cheaper ones. I’m confused.

I have no evidence of this theory but I suspect that it is partly a result of careful manipulation.

Many buttons/menus in iOS utilize the blue color for text or backgrounds that also is used when you message another iOS device. The result is that it feels congruent and natural within the color scheme of the operating system - if you are messaging an Apple device.

The green color used for messages to non Apple devices is somewhat jarring in comparison and subtly (or subconsciously) gives you the impression that something is not right. Additionally the green that was chosen provides less contrast to the white text (relative to the darker blue & white). So reading the green bubbles is just a little more effort. These effects combine to a general sense of unpleasantness.

I believe all of this is deliberate on Apple’s part and isn’t as simple as someone “caring” about colors but rather the situation being engineered to make them care.

I unsubscribed and started boycotting it when I watched a video one day and it wasn’t clear to me that the whole video was a sponsored ad until the very end when they dropped a line like “Oh and thanks to our sponsor XYZ for giving us all of the hardware we showed you today.”

I was watching multiple reviews on products I was a shopping for and realized they were an unreliable source if they didn’t disclose this was basically a shill video until the last few minutes.
