How the fuck is this "technology"? This community is flying very close to the line of what is in topic most of the time anyway. This by far and away crosses it.
It's YouTube drama and it doesn't belong here. I'm not saying it's not interesting/important but it's off topic and doesn't belong here.
The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem....

Reform party, who has been a bunch of useful idiots and have been diluting the Tory vote significantly have not got enough members in place to stand in every location as this will be their first general election and they are a new party.
The SNP has only just picked a new leader after the previous one stepped down and they have fallen out of favour in recent times.
Labour (main competition) was not expecting anything until November time as the running theory is that the Tories would wait for a bit to see if something would "come up" and rescue their awful polling (as per your suggestion). So even they were caught off guard and now have to scramble to organise everything. This shit isn't easy, even for established parties.
Hell, even the Tories were caught off guard by their leader doing this.
Sunak has played an interesting card here. I doubt it will make any difference but at least he is being somewhat clever with the surprise timing of this.

And when there’s a power outage, the PowerStream will turn off automatically to ensure there’s no electricity in the wires in order to protect line workers from shock. The PowerStream will only turn back on when the grid power returns.

Well, sure, but it doesn't change the facts on the ground that you can shoot whatever you like at a nuke and it's exceptionally unlikely to explode.
But if you just want to scream "bullshit" for no reason in the face of the facts then I guess there isn't much point in continuing. Not sure why you just choose to believe whatever you want, but I guess I can't stop you.
First of all, it's absolutely crazy to link to a 6 month old thread just to complain that you go downvoted in it. You're pretty clearly letting this site get under your skin if you're still hanging onto these downvotes.
No, I just... Remembered the thread? Wasn't difficult to remember it. Took me a minute to find it.
This may surprise you but CP isn't something I discuss very often.
I don't lose sleep over people defending CP as "art", nor did it get under my skin. I just think these are fucking idiots and are for some baffling reason trying to defend the indefensible and go about my day. I'm not going to do anything about it, but I'm sure glad I don't have such dumb comments linked to a public account with my IP address logged somewhere...
I just raised it to make my point.
I didn't bother reading the rest of your essay. Its pretty clear from the first paragraph where you're going to land.
Google Removes App That Helps People Boycott Pro-Israel Companies::NoThanks was temporarily suspended from the Google Play app store due to a line in its description speaking about Israel.
Many who chant it don't even know what river or sea they are talking about without looking it up.
And they don't care what happens to the Jews. It's a racist chant which is basically supporting genocide.
It's an idiotic phrase that only morons and racists would repeat. It's unrealistic and doesn't solve a damn thing. But of course the herd will repeat the catchy phrase because they have an excuse to be openly racist but still have a way of justifying it.
There. I said it.
And no, before these same idiots say otherwise: I am not happy with how Israel or the IDF is handling the current situation or the situation before October. Nor am I a supporter of hamas and their actions in early October; Israel just had their own 9/11, so of course they are going to react miltaryary, of course they fucking are, like every country on the planet would.
This whole thing is like watching two unlikeable assholes having a boxing match. It's basically boogie2899 Vs wingsofredemption but with a lot more death and destruction, so it's not funny.
Criminalizing the creation, possession, or viewing of entirely artificial artwork is beyond unethical; it's extraordinarily evil.
No it isn't.
I don't care if you find someone's artwork gross, troubling, distasteful, immoral, etc... that's art.
No, it's child porn.
Careful, any time I point this out, the fascists come out of the woodwork to call me a pedo.
Can't imagine why.
You realise the AI is being trained on pictures of real children, right?
So it's wrong for it to be based on one child, but according to you the AI "art" (as you keep calling it) is okay as long as there are thousands of victims instead?
So you're cool with images of 6 year olds being penetrated by a 40 year old as long as "tHe Ai DrEw iT sO nObOdY gOt HuRt"? I guess you could just set it as your desktop and phone wallpaper and everything would be fine. Let me know how that works out for you.
That's some stunning mental gymnastics right there.
That’s literally the whole point I am making: It doesn’t matter how I feel about it, it doesn’t matter how YOU feel about it. It’s not real. Neither you nor I nor anyone else has the right to judge someone else’s art.
It does matter how myself and wider society view disgusting content. It matters a lot. And society absolutely has a say of it's acceptance or otherwise to such content. You saying otherwise is absurd.
In the same way that I can't and shouldn't write something incrediblely racist and pretend it's 'art'. Even if AI made it.
Attempting to give AI child porn a pass, as you are doing for some baffling reason, absolutely will create further harm further down the line.
The pedofiles that are smart enough to not get caught and use technology like tor and encrypt everything and can figure out how to use stable diffusion will be the pedofiles that have custom models trained on real children.
And if you and me consider the possibility in a casual conversation online, they have also considered the possibility, heavily researched and implemented it if it's at all possible. And they know how to not get caught.
But it's okay, it's "art" after all and we can't ban art because that's evil.... Right... Right?
