I'm not sure about the photobashing thing.
If I remember correctly a generated image starts from noise and the AI refines that noise to form shapes. When watermarks show up, it's not because it's bashing the original images, but because it learnt to put watermark on an image.
No they should absolutely not.
The really disturbing thing is that they're not simply crashing, but because the infrastructure is so dilapidated, they're literally just falling off the tracks.
And that is not something you fix in a week.
This is Microsoft we're talking about.
It takes you their website where you can read 2 paragraphs of bullshit that will in no way clarify anything.
Sometimes a message is all you need.
Has there really been more, or are we just biased because the media decided to pick up every train related incident?
Does this also apply to keys lost in boating accidents?
This makes me wonder whether decentralized social media is actually immune to enshittification, or will it just take a different form we can't even imagine at this moment in time.
I'm actually jealous of all of our laid off employees.
They might do more layoffs so hang in there
This is pure gold. XD
The whole internal structure of the company is a raging dumpster fire.
That “blackout” movement, which briefly caused Reddit to go down, dropped daily traffic by about 7%
I wouldn't call single digit percentages a plunge.
But who knows, maybe they will continue to bleed users and the protest was just the first crack in dam wall:
Experts are unsure if the current protest will significantly impact Reddit or if it will just be another controversial moment in the platform’s history.
Yup, the same thing happened when we moved from Digg to reddit.
There were 2-3 weeks where the death of digg was every other thread but then it tapered off quickly.
That being said, I think this whole reddit fiasco will drag out longer.
You'd still need "gas stations" to recharge this battery in 10 minutes.
The charging current required for a battery like this would be in the high hundreds of Amps. Not something you can pull out of your wall.
Another thing with at-home charging that I don't see much discussion around;
In 2035 the EU will stop the sale of combustion engines, but when everyone drives electric, how will the electric grid handle millions of cars suddenly being plugged in at the end of each day?
