  1. Does anybody do that anymore? Actually, does anyone invite anyone over anymore?
  2. Wow, now the media is turning to AI generated voice to create their fake news.
  3. A public list of witnesses is pretty bad for those who might, just might, want to witness tamper. And other bad things that could happen to them.
  4. I'm glad they're getting highlighted. A little mass hysteria might actually get some legislature passed.
  5. @Kamusha sorry that we weren't able to get the last $300 for ya. Hopefully it's enough to get the ball rolling though!
  6. Well as long as you left with a tiny gatling gun, that's all that matters.
  7. The Kremlin struggled to cohere an effective rapid response to Wagner’s advances, highlighting internal security weaknesses likely due to surprise and the impact of heavy losses in Ukraine. The optics of Belarusian President Lukashenko playing a direct role in halting a military advance on Moscow are humiliating to Putin and may have secured Lukashenko other benefits. The Kremlin now faces a deeply unstable equilibrium. The Lukashenko-negotiated deal is a short-term fix, not a long-term solution, and Prigozhin’s rebellion exposed severe weaknesses in the Kremlin and Russian MoD. This is really the crux of the whole thing. King Leonidas has been shown to bleed, and it looks very very bad. It's a complete embarrassment for Putin to not only show they have no effective defense against such a rebellion while their forces are preoccupied, and as it says, severe security weaknesses against ANY kind of incursion it seems. Putin couldn't force back or even negotiate the withdrawal himself. And Putin walked back literally all threats (at least publicly) and was willing to welcome them back into the fold after everything they did, in an act of what seems like dire desperation. What does that say to Russian citizens, who have been shown how powerless Putin is, and how vulnerable they all are under him? What does that say to Putin's enemies, who might now be entertaining the thought of an attack on their territory? It was a gamble, but it seems like it worked out exactly as Pringle intended, and I think it's a pretty huge win for him. It's definitely a huge humiliation for Putin.
  8. Jesus I think I killed that guy in Wolfenstein The New Order. This whole thing is pretty embarrassing, but mostly for Putin. It really shines a spotlight on the dirty dealings the Kremlin's engaged with to bring up forces for this campaign, and how desperate they are to keep those deals going. Having your army-for-hire stroll almost all the way up to Moscow isn't a good look for a dictator, me thinks.
  9. They could race each other to the bottom of the Atlantic in a pair of Titan submersibles.
  10. New Marvel TV Show's Credits Were 'Made' By 'AI', Look Terrible KOTAKU.COM Disney wheeling this out in the middle of a writer's strike sure is a look Haven't seen the series, and haven't decided if I'm even going to, but I caught a glimpse of this, and from what I've seen the show is using some really awful AI for the opening credits. No idea wtf they were thinking here.
  11. I did the headphones-only thing for a while in the late 00s, but I also got tired of it. I got a pair of Creative Gigaworks T20 speakers and they've been my speakers for YouTube ever since.
  12. I was watching something that said that Trump's polling numbers always get a boost when something like this happens. So yeah the party of law and order sees criminality as a positive.
  13. The "data dignity" model for potentially compensating creators who have a high percentage of input into AI-generated works is an interesting one. Seems extremely hard to implement though, especially in a way that most people would find fair.
  14. They had to get clever, but it worked. Notepads, students, and a pay phone: How CNN broke the news from Trump's arraignment despite a courtroom ban on electronics | CNN Business WWW.CNN.COM The operation was devised on the eve of the arraignment.
  15. This blows my mind. It says if you load up the ROM on an original Game Boy it even tells you it requires the GBC. Amazing.
