Nonsense. What "deep stater" would think taking de jure control of Greenland would be worth destroying NATO and transatlantic relations broadly, especially when the US already has access to it for military purposes?
The Photoshop equivalent would be "an Adobe artist does the photoshop for you and then somehow emails it directly to your target and everyone who follows them."
How about we start at "not enabling users to directly generate nonconsensual porn of other users using your platform and then posting it as a reply to their content"?
I said generating it using the platform. These creeps aren't just freelancing -- the images are being created by Twitter's servers via their native UI and published directly by their official @Grok account. They are utterly complicit in a way they wouldn't be if they were "just" permitting people to post AI revenge porn they created independently.
I'm fairly proficient when it comes to Windows, but the diversity in install methods for Fedora threw me for a loop, too. It seemed easier at first -- get all your software from trusted sources in the default package manager, just like an app store! But then there's the question of RPM vs. Snap vs. Flatpak vs. downloading an installer from their website, some versions being further behind than others, the method you use having implications for where/how programs are installed and maintained, etc. It adds cognitive friction and makes troubleshooting harder; I'm not even sure if there's a reliable way to see a list of all programs installed on your machine (regardless of method) or how to easily uninstall them. I don't regret switching, but it is an obstacle, and more consistently than the initial question of which distro to use.
I've been a full-time Linux user since 1998, and over the years I've invested uncountable hours doing all kinds of tweaking and fixing. But with time that has gotten less and less (probably due to both Linux and me maturing), to the point that I now basically use my laptop as an appliance.
I run Aurora, an immutable Linux distro. It auto-updates the core OS without me even noticing (just remember to reboot your laptop every couple of weeks). It has a software center to install GUI apps (all Flatpak, I think) and comes with brew to install command line apps. Things pretty much just work, and for the occasional small issue, I generally manage to just shrug.
To be fair, one thing still lingers just above my annoyance threshold: connecting/disconnecting monitors while my laptop is suspended will sometimes lead to a black screen when resuming, requiring a reboot. A gentle wink from the bad/good old days. :-)
It's the evergreen of ios vs android.
Want to have something that "just works" you'll get exactly that. You want freedom of choice, here you go with all the freedom you can get.
If you want someone that tailors the experience, you'll have to pay with money and freedom.
Weird that you note her irrelevant banter, but miss the part at 0:40 where she is clearly turning her steering wheel hard to the right prior to accelerating, when he's standing near the left front corner of the vehicle. It's hard to tell if she grazes him with the bumper/mirror or if he just jumps back, and it's a jumpy move to be making with people around -- understandably panicky given the shouted conflicted orders and the armed man reaching in and trying to open her door. But she was obviously not intentionally trying to run the guy over. And the officer's shoot-to-kill response was wildly disproportionate and against protocol. LEO are supposed to be trained to handle high-pressure situations like this, and one who overreacts and kills an unarmed civilian should be held to a much higher standard.
Kind of an "I Spy" meets "Tim Burton Batman" fever dream, ending in the kind of colorful fantasia you'd see on the cover of some Utopian Scholastic PC package.
That's probably incidental, horrible as it is. Models don't need training data of everything imaginable, just enough things in combination, and there's enough imagery of children's bodies (including non-sexual nudity) and porn to generate a combination of the two, same as it can make a hybrid giraffe-shark-clown on a tricycle despite never seeing that in the training data before.
The biggest issue here is not that models can generate this imagery, but that Musk's Twitter is enabling it at scale with no guardrails, including spamming them on other people's photos.
Yep, when my kid was taking selfies with my phone and playing with Google Photos, I appreciated that Google didn't let any Gemini AI manipulation of any kind occur, even if whatever they were trying to do was harmless. Seemed very strict when it detected a child. Grok should probably do that.
People posting random cute candids of their family and pets is about the most commonplace type of social media post there is. You should be getting angry at the weird pervs sexualizing the images (and the giant AI company enabling it).
