    Sorry, I don't see a downside to eliminating the need for vulnerable girls for making porn.

    Educate me.

    The answer isn't to eliminate porn, or sex work in general. It's to destigmatize it.
    As it is now, the majority of people look at a porn actress with disdain or pity. They turn their noses up at Onlyfans models, claiming to hate the industry because it chews up girls and spits them out.
    Treat it like a real, respectable job though, and much of the "vulnerability" aspect will go away.
    Onlyfans and the like have cut the knees out from the more predatory pornographic producers. Now a majority of the women in the industry work for themselves, from the safety of their own home.

    I appreciate the response. Not familiar with only fans. What's its business model?

    "Terminator: Genesys" was on today.
    What a lot of money to piss away on something no one asked for, and no one liked.
    Just like real-world AI!
    Oh! Wait! "Genesys" doesn't suck. It's prescient dadaist satire!

    A streaming platform where adults pay other adults to watch them make questionable life choices in real time. It’s like a digital sideshow where your neighbor, old girlfriend, or that girl from high school with the weird laugh are all competing to see who can get the most money while slowly eroding their dignity. Basically monetized loneliness, desperation, and poor impulse control.

    Facebook's AI came across my 16-year-old singular account with the sickeningly consistent posting behavior and decided it might be "inauthentic" and so suspended it for 180 days pending appeal (which consists of comparing your selfie video to your ID)

    It's good to know such a savvy, skilled investigator is on the case looking for nefarious wrongdoing on Zuck's platform. Money well spent.

    Outside of data centers, AI is just marketing.

    Now with 50% AI!

    There are components of AI used in everyday devices. Voice processing, face recognition and fingerprint security use neural-nets. Neural-nets are not AI.

    Fuzzy logic has been in appliances for decades. Fuzzy logic is not AI.

    On this we can agree. 99% of the time, "AI" is a misnomer.

    Anybody seen the news about Musk's baby mama complaining about people using Grok to sexualize her underage Facebook posts?
    I think now I know why FF has been posting less.

    Saw a wonderful theatre show last week and I was so impressed by the live singing and dancing. But then I thought how is AI going to ruin this?

    An article in the Washington Post describes an objective test of public LLMs to perform tasks.

    They fail spectacularly.

    What is not described is how the models were expected to perform. Especially the graphical tasks, i.e rendering architectural drawings.

    These publicly available models are trained against information available on the Internet. I don't see how these can be expected to perform technical tasks if not trained specifically for that type of work. Seems like a disconnect in the testing.

    For what it's worth:

    That article references a paywalled Washington Post article that's much more nuanced.

    The issues were graphics showing garbage. They were labeled as AI generated.

    LLMs are being used by NOAA on the forecasting side with apparent success. No mention of what safeguards are in effect.
