I mean it's so obvious... is anyone else unaware that raising the goal for quantity is how you lower quality. Organized criminals are... well organized and hard to find. Finding one big cartel leader is considerably harder than scooping up 100 people showing up for their scheduled appointment with immigration court.

I mean does he have a chance, if I'm not mistaken didn't he win against a pedophile by the skin of his teeth. and now at this rate I'm wondering if pedophilia is less unpopular than it was back then.

Well I mean in this case, her lack of competency and credentials were a per-requisite. No one with skills in law would have even considered attempting these cases.

Reminds me the most of when discussing corporal punishment with a friend of mine with regards to raising kids. He was up and down talking about how his dad had to beat the crap out of him to keep him in line, and of course with a few examples, I'd follow up with "did you do that again?", "well yeah, I got beat for doing that over and over".

and of course that's ignoring the bigger part. Even giving the "punishment deters"... really it only goes in 2 forms.

It's often ineffective because it hasn't hit yet. AKA you haven't got punished, therefore you know the punishment doesn't apply to you.

Or you have been punished, and well you can handle it again.

Course death penalty is a one time issue obviously. But obviously also has the follow up where, it can be even worse because people are more hesetant to charge in the less obviously wrong scenerios. IE anyone with half a heart or a concern to protect kids will throw the book at a 50 year old diddling a 10 year old.

Laws generally have exceptions when a 19 year old has sex with a 17 year old. Somewhere out there though is greyer areas where most people would say it's wrong, but it's on the fence.

Hulamania is getting

I hate hulk hogan, I hate AI videos....

but now I'm feeling a strong desire to see hulk hogan talking tough about his insane hula hoop skills.

Only problem is when dealing with things like, what happens when a cop demands to bury all videos of his police brutality scandal etc... Bottom line 90% of time when the pressure hits enough, the words don't do it justice. Especially when the cops release the report using past exonorative tense etc... to describe things in way that downplay and obfuscate what happened.

So... did this scientists great grandchildren invent reality TV?

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

that's true, but I think it's in the phrasing, they describe it as a shortage of human made content. the bigger issue to note is the lack of ability to identify human made content. IE you give it reddit and our e-mails, there's plenty of human made content on there... but nobody knows what percentage of it is actually bots or AIs.

Honestly I don't get how AI isn't rolling backwards already. Image sites are burried in AI slop. Social media posts are burried in AI slop, and now e-mails, that were probably written by AIs. How is AI even remotely improving right now, when obviously 90% of any new training data it's getting, was generated by the last generation of AI.

Maybe he's just Pichai is just really smart and trying to get the breaks slammed on the AI bubble before it pops.

Listen if this works the way you think it does, half the country is going to be out of work. CEO: but our company will make a lot of money right, someone else is going to do it eventually anyway.

OK, look if this works the way it is supposed to, we won't need you anymore!

Oh shit, hit the breaks, no more AI, it's all a bubble anyway.

Very true, though with windows automatically updating to new versions and forcing upgrades, IMO the time to do it is when they would otherwise be forced to make a full version change anyway, as the differences between 10 and 11, are probably more than a windows 10 themed linux.
