Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky. It’s a pretty unique program, unfortunately, as almost every community nationwide could benefit. Took the Executive director/founder a long time to build up the connections to really get it off the ground. I keep trying to get on the board and help figure out a way to expand the concept…

I volunteer with an affordable transportation non-profit. We do quarterly maintenance clinics, kinda like not terrible jiffy-lube and at no cost to those served. Not open to the public at large, we generally fill up every spot we have from local women’s shelters and halfway house type programs. We get donated seeping…

I do oil changes at least twice a year on the Sedan version of this car, blue, V6, 1995 at a charity oil change event. It seems older than my 1980s Alfa Romeos, which themselves are barely warmed over ‘70s designs. I’m gonna have to go with “No Dice at any price” for a ‘90s Buick Century. As others have said, if it…

I’m in favor, if only to reduce pocket clutter. I already use a keypad lock at home so I don’t need to carry that key. not needing to carry a car key would be nice. Next step, make everything I do on my phone or with my wallet accessible on my watch and I can finally go empty pockets!

Oh my god. It’s not literally a collage. No one thinks this. I completely udnerstand the process. The end result is still an algortihm that can’t create, it can replicate things it’s already been trained on. Stable Diffusion can’t go “I want to paint a dog” it can only spit out a mathmatically generated amalgamation…

To put it another way, is the photo snapped by a red light camera art just because photography is a medium artists can use?

The 3 year old’s art will be art. Because it was created with creative intent. “AI artists” do not do this. Even their creators say they only replicate art. scribbling all over a coloring book is art, because what makes art is the creative effort of the creator. Phrases like “creative activity” or “creative skill and…

False. Even a three year old with a crayon has infinitely more artistic and creative energy than any current or on the horizon “AI Artist” The fundamental truth even the creators of these systems will admit is they have absolutely no capacity to create, just replicate. They’re like giving someone a really tall stack…

The alternative to making self driving safer is for human driving to fall in safety until current self driving passes it. Not a good alternative, but considering the lack of progress in self-driving and the increasing crashes among human drivers, seems like the more likely outcome, unfortunately. Or we could learn to…

But computers still don’t and can’t make art. They can use existing artwork to predict what art might look like, and replicate the look/feel of exisitng art. But no “AI Artist” has any capacity for creative or generative thought. If it doesn’t exist in the training dataset, the computer can’t come up with it. 

Definitely think you’re onto something with the societal messages aspect. When your experience is different than what pop culture regularly shows off as ‘normal,’ some set of people will then want to own, label and/or describe their “abnormality.”

The idea of being horny, having an urge to masturbate or “have sex”, but having no object in mind, no “desire” towards anything/anyone attached to that urge, makes sense to me. I get it. It’s not me, but it’s easy to grasp as a concept. Just like I totally understand the concept of being attracted to people of my own…

Clearly it’s not a full sex mod, just textures. Since the vanilla game has so few times the textures would be visible, it’s pretty easy to imagine it getting missed. These are the guys who thought Cybperpunk was ready to be released in late 2020, so it’s not a shock they missed something 

all it takes is a lawyer clearing that responsibility lies with the mod creator if that were to happen. I’m not a lawyer, but I can imagine there’s a release that can be created to that affect. 

I understand, but on the other hand, if a mod has been on a popular mod website for years without any takedown notices or issues, is it that hard to see imagine someone thinking it’s basically already been reviewed? This is the same company that spent like a decade on “Cyberpunk” before they had any idea what they…

Have you ever worked anywhere? The idea that there was any sort of tightly controlled or thought out process clashes with every life experience I have. Almost everything is thrown together by people doing as little work as they can get away with. Why would CDPR spend the money and time to create a detailed complex…

Personally, we now charge for free at most shopping centers we go to and haven’t paid a cent for fuel since July. Before that we were paying 12 cents per kwh, or about a quarter of the cost of the gas car we replaced even at 2020 gas prices. Our experience isn’t typical, but I’d argue that the source here is trying…

It’s OBVIOUS. Like so obvious it’s the only thing I remember from that movie. Like ruined my entire ability to even notice there was a movie going on behind the awful ADR/dubbing bad. 

The literal only thing I remember about that movie is how awful she was. the faked, digitally altered audio on every line she spoke is the only thing I took away from that film. No idea if it was good or bad, just the conclusion that if she owned a local business, Carano shouldn’t even be allowed to be in her own…

Right? Like she got her shot in Haywire and was so painfully bad. Like couldn’t do ADR at all so the final audio of her lines was clearly frequently slowed down, sped up and otherwise altered just to create a “releasable”  product. How she ever got hired to act again is beyond me.
