a wave of people who are suffering severe breaks with reality as they spiral into the obsessive use of ChatGPT or other AI products

At some point, ChatGPT is the only “person“ who will still talk to a spiraling person. Plus, LLMs are notorious for agreeing to anything, causing a reinforcing effect.

I don’t see why you couldn’t vote funny and helpful at the same time

And remember that kinetic energy goes up with the square of the velocity, so a crash at double the speed is theoretically four times as deadly. Even modest reductions in speed greatly increase survivability of an accident.

Yep, when every app has a gray color, it’s much harder to find what you’re looking for on the screen.

Google committed the same sin when they made every one of their apps have the same four color look - now I can’t easily find the one app I’m looking for.

After 5 million years, a pristine dollar bill will be a priceless historical artifact. I’ll take that.

A ton of their tech has been an important reference for other engines. I don’t think there’s any reason to hate UE if it’s basically pioneering different techniques for everyone else to copy.

Eh, this is literally at the bottom of the list of anything Trump has ever done. Maybe we should focus on the dismantling of democracy instead.

Salaries are being advertised as between $49,739 and $89,528 per year, with ICE stating that pay can be increased through overtime, as well as location-dependent additions.

Existing agents, along with those with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), will get a $10,000 yearly bonus for the next four years. New agents will also get signing bonuses, similar to those introduced for Border Patrol officers under the Biden administration.

The new budget also included provisions for additional bonuses, with agents able to receive extra pay for their performance, as well as for their commitment to an additional two years with the agency.

It seems plausible at the very least.

Precisely. You don’t end a war by executing everybody. That just makes the opposition more likely to keep fighting forever.

It’s far more efficient to give immunity to the ones making the decisions to end the war, even if they are distasteful people.

Help I can’t find any square trees

We have truly tamed the elements

Giving it the image as part of the context helps. But honestly for a description that short it takes longer to have an AI do it than to just do it yourself

Until someone comes up with a very compelling anti-drone countermeasure, drones are basically the ideal weapon for a battlefield. Cheap, mobile, can loiter, good recon, etc.

The sad part is that it doesn’t have to fool the people that are paying attention. If it even fools the foolish, humanity is in for a bumpy ride.

It’s interesting how quickly people learned to detect the patterns of AI images. Like, I can nearly always tell which platform it was generated on because they all have specific biases.

Not sure the guy who threw the second explosive got out of the blast zone fast enough. Hard to see though.

There’s no indication that’s the case. I think you need to touch grass.

They are AI, but to be fair, it’s an extraordinarily broad field. Even the venerable A* Pathfinding algorithm technically counts as AI.

Maybe they were joining two snakes?
