Its not convenient unless you need to use it extremely frequently and can keep track of it because of that.
I barely use my adapter so when I do need it, its another 15 minutes to find it or realize it got thrown out or something. Its just not convenient. Convenience would be leaving both ports, or for headphone companies to split the end of the cable into usbc, lightning, and audio jack
That person just can’t grapple with any nuance, as they are afraid to let the sentence “ai child porn is less bad” cone out of their mouths
All of your arguments assume profit is the motive. Are you saying as long as no profit is made that it would be okay to do all of these things? (Ex. Self use only)
Its already the worst crime around and people still do it. Maybe its not the punishment we need to focus on.
So about the same amount of work to Photoshop an celebs head onto a naked body.
Got it. I’m terrified of all the poorly made fanfic. Even perfectly made fanfic will never have the effect of a real photo or irl
Just because the ai produces a model with Billie eilishes face and a naked body does not mean you’ve seen her nude for real.
Its the exact same as drawing a naked lady and then drawing Billie eilish’s face on it.
If that really gets you off and really violates her autonomy in some way I’d be interested to hear how. Its not currently illegal to draw real people in fictional scenarios is it?
The point isnt that its too late, its that the hype is overblown. Go to the website this article mentions and follow the instructions (explore, turn on nsfw, type name and nude) and you will VERY QUICKLY realize the technology is just shit.
You can see some resemblances and sometimes one close one, but like another poster said they just look like the same shitty fan fiction we’ve had since Photoshop came about.
Also, this could end porn blackmail when none can tell if its real or not. People will start judging the person who us supplying the material rather than the person in it.
Creepy isn’t illegal. Never has been.
Its really not that hard to use SMS or signal anyhow. I’m not entirely against WhatsApp either although I dont think I would ever leave it installed on my device long term
They dont work for what’s intended. Its an illusion to pull money from your content and your potential ad revenue.
Thats not getting into any of the other sociological effects of a huge amount of people getting their daily news from Facebook message headlines.
Most phones can be unlocked provided you own it. Easier than you might think!
All you are saying is its too convenient for you to stop using it. What makes it less convenient is learning about alternative ways to meet the same ends.
You’ll find like a lot of others that giving up control to Facebook doesn’t necessarily equate to the most convenient tool
This might not apply to you but its worth a shot.
IMO we as humans were never supposed to get immense motivation BEFORE an action. Its supposed to come after you see the results of your work.
That said, you keep coming up with excuses you cant create:
You need to alter your perspective because that is what is holding you back. You could draw despite all of those reasons above, but you CHOOSE not to.
I don’t want to make it like a pull yourself up by your boot straps thing, I only say its a choice you are making so hopefully you will realize that you could just choose to draw.
Even if what you create is devoid of creativity, is unoriginal, does not represent you, and just plain looks bad, its still better to have created something and throw it away than to have created nothing.
Also any strong emotion can result in beautiful art, whether its a positive emotion or negative. Most people just want to see emotional honesty in art. Nothing wrong with how you feel, other than you preferring feeling a different way at the time.
The vast majority of pollution is from agriculture. Are you gonna quit eating meat anytime soon?
To be fair you don’t need that many people to commit to a session in a book reading club before it’s full enough to work. Anything more is just a bonus.
It’s a fascinating article title right? The story is pretty wild when you read the details of it too. most of the evidence of what happened is public and linked in the story so I encourage y’all to read them.
In short, I don’t think this is isolated to this one researcher. In fact on one of her papers there are TWO INDEPENDANT CASES of statistical fraud by two different people.
Another interesting thing to note is that overall when it comes to the ability to reproduce a study, many of these peer reviewed studies do not hold up to scrutiny. One of the articles covering this story mentioned that less than 50% of the studies were able to be reproduced.
Here’s another article that puts the number higher than two-thirds:

I’m almost positive he got talked out of it with words about being on the same side and this is what our enemies want and don’t shed Russian blood and on and on
I agree. I also agree with the person who replied to you that said for some working onsite is still the best option. I think that both options have benefits and detriments. Mainly depending on what type of responsibilities you have at home. If I lived alone I might want to go on site just so I wasn’t alone for a majority of my life. As it stands I have a wife and two kids and a kitty, so being home to help out (and avoid the 1000$ a month daycare bill) has been a great benefit to my mental health
He’s free to do something to try and prevent it, as long as it doesn’t hurt the cat and its a wild cat
