Remarkably, the letter’s signees include Ilya Sutskever, the company’s chief scientist and a member of its board, who has been blamed for coordinating the boardroom coup against Altman in the first place.

I am so confused.

I have several hypotheses:

• the same force that stops them decaying also stops their hair from ever getting mussed up, falling out, or growing longer

• only we can't see their reflection, they themselves can see it

• vampires are essentially a representation of a parasitical upper class and as such they look like idealised wealthy aristocrats

When will people realise that google has tailored algorithms and we are not all experiencing the same search results?

The first thing you’ll see if you search Google for “tank man” right now will not be the iconic picture of the unidentified Chinese man who stood in protest in front of a column of tanks leaving Tiananmen Square, but an entirely fake, AI-generated selfie of that historical event.

No, this is the first thing the author saw. Probably because they are a journalist writing about AI.

When I google tank man I don't even get the AI image on the first page. The top result is from history.com. If I go to google image search it is the 7th result on the page. The top result is from wikipedia.

Thanks, interesting stats in this article.

Just a guess but climate change events (and corresponding headlines) have really ramped up in the last three years.

And as the saying goes, there are no pockets in a shroud.

I just want to say, I am so so so sorry you had to see that.

I accidentally saw some CSAM in the 1990s and you are right, it is burnt into your mind. It's the real limit case of "what has been seen cannot be unseen" - all I could do was learn to avoid accessing those memories.

If you can access counselling for this, that might be a good option. Vicarious trauma is a real phenomenon.

For starters, nearly all of the imaginary women generated by the site have cartoonishly large breasts

That wasn't my experience when I went there just now. I think maybe it learned from the author's preferences more than the author realises.

I went there and clicked "pass" on everything and it generated a range of different body types of AI women. There were also way more heads without bodies than bodies without heads.

I'm in the 40% that can't afford it and am not going to be able to in my lifetime.

The absolute insanity of me!

I have had this feeling too recently. One thing I did which has helped me is to unsubscribe from most news/politics except here at Beehaw.

I found another article that gives a few numbers.

One mental health worker in the western province of Herat who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals said the Taliban had barred health professionals from publishing or sharing statistics on suicide, which had previously been published regularly.

Herat had the most reported suicide attempts of the provinces for which data was obtained: 123, including 106 by women. There were 18 reported deaths, 15 of them women

Thanks, that's a fascinating read, especially the part about the decisions which distorted women's voices. It reminds me a bit of the choices made with early colour film stock, which was so bad at dark skin tones.

I didn't even realise he is trying to look tough. He looks anxious.

One of my loved ones is in hospital (in another town) so I'm really hoping they are okay.

I still feel really shy about posting here, but I'm trying to be more myself on the internet lately. Or in general.
