I have daily voice calls, usually several times a day.
Seems like my country has mostly moved back to offices now though and finding remote contracts is tough. Man I miss the pandemic. Not the death and suffering, just the compassion some people showed others. Sure there was a lot of people who just lost their minds entirely, but I feel like the overall sense of community was better back then.
It's sad and ugly. Dinosaurs are fuckin' awesome, and these cunts are doing a shit job at appropriating them.
Hardly surprising that slop bros have no taste. I'm not an artist and it's not exactly difficult to point out the flaws with that logo. Someone could've stopped it, but they didn't care enough.
I highly doubt they have the money for that, unfortunately. I believe our best bet is to press politicians into action.
Yeah. I mean I enjoy Paradise Lost.
Given that the author is a Kirill Yeskov, I think it's safe to say that it's fanfic, yes. Akin to Paradise Lost being the real story of the Bibble.
If the U.S. blew this up, I'd concede that the U.S. actually does help the world from time to time.
Yeah, squatting is great! Fuck landlords!
3D modelling has nothing to do with prompts and tuning models. The output is objectively garbage to anyone with even passing knowledge of the subject.
Just like with anything machine generated, it's always really capable and will completely dominate the market, but only to the layperson who has no fucking clue what they're talking about.
The goal is to ensure that they don’t inbreed their models, not fix the problems they’ve caused.
I'd wager these produce less oxygen in part due to the glowing aspect. Photosynthesis is mostly only active during the day when there's enough photo to help synthesise carbon dioxide into oxygen, glucose, and starch. During the night plants switch over to cellular respiration where they take their stored energy (glucose), and burn it, converting oxygen to carbon dioxide and water.
I'm guessing producing the light will require some amount of energy so the general net gain/loss in terms of oxygen is probably affected. On a global, or even national scale I don't think the oxygen production of deocrative plants in cities will matter much.
Love the idea of glowing plants. Very fantasy.
History is written by the victors, and the luddites lost. That's why they're maligned as backwards idiots who didn't want tech to succeed.
They weren't stupid. They knew precisely what was going to happen, and did their best to stop it. Generally they took care to target only machines as their goal wasn't to harm people but to remain employed, and have money to survive with. Naturally there were exceptions, and sometimes people did get hurt.
But then, the bourgeoisie enacted law to prevent this where destroying mechanical looms became punishable by... oh let's see...
Right! Death! Destruction of company property became punishable by death.
And people did die. Children died. Mind you, back then workers were anyone capable of working, and they had no rights. They didn't vote for the people who passed this act; workers weren't supposed to have a voice, and so the only recourse was rebellion.
This didn't stop things immediately, there's quite a lot of really cool worker history here, but eventually the government sent in the military and couple that with nothing really changing despite widespread rebellion, the luddite movement fizzled out.
