Each of these exoduses moves the bar a little bit. We only lose if we give up. Eventually the bad decisions will catch up to them, as long as we keep pushing.

Drop the mic, bro. You earned it.

You didn’t elaborate.

I don’t get it, can you explain the joke? It looks really funny.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone is arguing they shouldn’t. It just seems really counterproductive to ever talk to a father as if he’s a babysitter. As long as we’re assuming Mom doing all the child rearing work is normal, and Dad’s just a babysitter, we’re leaving the door open to normalizing deadbeats.

Boeing has MASSIVE government contracts, and does a ton for both the military and NASA. They’re absolutely bailout material, as much as it hurts me to say.

Root beer. Or cream soda. Or a spicy ginger ale / beer. Anything with bite, flavor, complexity.

I interpret it as the “average man” phenomenon. If you take all of the “average” measure for a man in all aspects, you’ll find that what you get barely resembles human. To me, that’s the same effect the OP is getting at. Someone falling into the “normal” range on absolutely every single metric would be kinda weird, and probably its own abnormality.

Am I missing something? Aren’t the people asking the man if he’s giving mom a break the ones perpetuating the “moms are expected to raise children” stereotype? The guy in this scenario is simply doing father things, it’s the assumptive person asking the question that’s hanging onto old beliefs.

I’m all for fathers being fathers, and I think anyone who bothers to take their kid to the park on off times is probably in the same boat. It comes across as more than a bit condescending to have some random person imply that this activity isn’t one that’s normal for your family.

Make them magnetically attach to the screen.

Just a phone case with a retractable tether would work fine. Put it in your pocket. Tether is out of the way, completely invisible. Pull it out, tether extends enough to use it, and reteacs when you’re done. With a clip or strap, you can attach it to just about any outfit easily enough.

Realistically, if you have to have a phone somewhere like this where pickpocketing is likely, id suggest either a cheap phone you can lose, or keeping your phone in your hand/a hand on it in your pocket.

Which doesn’t work if the air is already saturated. Water cools by evaporating. If the air can’t hold any more water, it can’t evaporate and cool. I mean, external cold water I suppose, but if you have actively cooled water, we’re probably not in a heat crisis situation.

Why is that? The whole point of generative AI is that it can combine concepts.

You train it on the concept of a chair using only red chairs. You train it on the color red, and the color blue. With this info and some repetition, you can have it output a blue chair.

The same applies to any other concepts. Larger, smaller, older, younger. Man, boy, woman, girl, clothed, nude, etc. You can train them each individually, gradually, and generate things that then combine these concepts.

Obviously this is harder than just using training data of what you want. It’s slower, it takes more effort, and results are inconsistent, but they are results. And then, you curate the most viable of the images created this way to train a new and refined model.

Just a point of clarity, an AI model capable of generating csam doesn’t necessarily have to be trained on csam.

Or, ya know, everyone who ever wanted to decapitate those stupid fucking Skyrim children. Crime requires damaged parties, and with this (idealized case, not the specific one in the article) there is none.

It TOTALLY won’t be structured in a way to keep people of certain classes unrelated to child rearing ability from essentially reproducing at all.

Yaaaaaarrrrrr

The issue is that they’re taking a tool with actual legitimate use cases, particularly maintenance and repair uses, and turning it into something to just push their own service. It’d be like a doctor saying you can only be healthy if you use his brand of fuckin… Vitamins or some shit,I don’t know. It’s got nothing to do with Microsoft, it’s not automatically the worst thing in existence, it’s just that Microsoft CONSISTENTLY does this kind of garbage, and it’s one of those things that isn’t overtly even a bad thing, you just have to look a bit.

So in short, I agree it is(was?) a useful tool, I don’t agree that everyone is rabidly anti-microsoft, any more than anyone’s rabidly anti-get-punched-in-the-taint.

Eh, we weren’t paying for that back in the day anyway.

I had spitballed an idea similar to this a few months back. Build the characters, world, and situations, and give the AI that information. Pick a few specific pieces of info the AI would have to tell you at specific times, basically to act as guide rails. Then, let the AI and the player just… Interact.
