  • I feel like it’s very strange to not even mention the fact that many, many of these researchers have completely lost, or will lose the grants for the research that is the entire reason for their being in the field in which they are. They literally cannot do what they are there to do anymore. in addition, many additional folks are no longer allowed to work on or publish their projects because they are centered on or use some of Trump’s no-no words. There is way more than just salaries causing the brain drain out of the US right now.





  • Completely agree. There are some things ai clearly struggles very hard with but the rate at which it is improving in just about every single facet is insane. I mean just take a look at this, this was unimaginable like literally months ago. That thing is 100% ai generated. Sound, visuals, script… everything is made from a prompt in a few minutes. And we’re still basically just at the infant stage. Just imagine what the hell these things will be doing in 20 or 50 or 100 years.





  • Random question, but when you have an image like this with a ton of that fuzzy noise stuff and then you try to put an image into it without any fuzzy noise crap, what’s the best way to do it? Basically, how do you match noise when compositing images?

    I’ve found some ways to do it online that are decent but it almost always comes out different. Like you can usually totally tell the image doesn’t belong there.



  • I feel like at some point there will be so much banned that every government document is just going to be like caveman talk about how amazing petroleum and guns are

    Gas good and drill good so money good too. All is good if gas is gas. Oil and gas and drilling is great. Guns for army man. Make America great again.


  • Unless I have the law wrong, he skirted the law. He didn’t pay anyone to vote (although he originally said he was), he technically only paid them to sign a petition. The law afaik only says you can’t pay people to vote (regardless of who, in Wisconsin you straight up cannot pay people to vote at all), you can pay them to sign a petition.

    However I would argue that by first announcing that the money would go only to people who voted and then subtly changing it later is still totally a form of bribery. People absolutely voted for a chance at that money because of his original statement and didn’t know it changed. But I’m going to go out on a limb here and say he’ll be 100% fine because of technicalities (aka he’s rich as shit and is completely untouchable)
