Right, but the person who prompted this image exists right now and their job will exist for the foreseeable future, so they need to not suck at their job until they're no longer needed. I personally don't see generative AI gaining the creative ability to define its own prompts in the near future, even if its generative outputs improve to the point where you don't need an experienced prompter to ensure that hands aren't deformed. Prompters are still going to be needed for highly specific prompts.

For sure, hands are generally getting better, but they are still a persistent problem. Mostly you need a prompter who isn't lazy and is actually looking at the outputs.
Honestly thighs, legs, and wings for me are on pretty even footing depending on what I'm doing for a meal. At places that do whole chickens and not wings specifically, I generally prefer the order I listed. But wings from places that specialize in wings are really great. Whole breasts are just undeniably over by themselves as my least favorite way to eat chicken (even though I don't dislike them or anything, I just don't prefer them).
I certainly am in favor of a popular vote for president. The only reason anyone would want the president elected by a convoluted system whereby our votes don't directly count toward who we want to represent us all is because the system is currently benefiting their side disproportionately. The only reasons the electoral college exists at this point are to give some states an outsized weight on the end result and to override the will of the people in the form of faithless electors. But electors could've prevented the disastrous Trump presidency and chose not to, so if they're going to rubber stamp an unpopular and unqualified candidate, they are not fulfilling their original purpose.
The only way I'm in favor of keeping the electoral college is if we uncap the size of the House of Representatives (which I think we should do anyway). The House no longer represents the makeup of the entire American public because it's now unnaturally skewed conservative and each representative represents over 700,000 constituents. If we'd kept expanding the House about the same rate we used to (and should), we'd have almost 700 representatives. This system is increasingly unfair and undemocratic.
Legitimately asking because I never buy breasts, are they wicked expensive right now? Breasts are the worst part of the chicken for anything other than the total amount of meat IMHO because they don't have as much flavor and dry out really easily when they're only slightly overcooked. My order of preference is thighs>legs>wings>breasts.
Oh come on now, that's not their sole goal in life...
They also want to make sure poor people don't get everything they need.
Good point, but I feel like they could probably just translate that scene without having the innuendo (like the direct translation for "beach off" probably doesn't sound anything like the translation of "beat off", so it would become more of a whimsical non sequitur directly translated).
I think there's a fair amount in this movie that doesn't really translate well outside American/Western culture anyway. For me, that scene was funny because it's repeating a pun that points to the Ken characters' innocence when in the real world, they'd be mocked mercilessly by some people. And it forces the audience to think about their own reactions when insecure straight men sometimes follow sentences like that jokingly with, "no homo," to point out that, despite unintentionally saying something that sounded kind of gay, they are not in fact gay. At any rate, I don't see this scene as an endorsement of homosexuality, but rather a commentary on society's fixation on hypermasculine language.
That's good to know! I was initially confused about how you double a $50k amount and get to $350k, but I'm guessing it works as an additional fine every day and is like:
- Day 0: No fine
- Day 1: Add $50k
- Day 2: Add $100k
- Day 3: Add $200k
That would imply ownership and agency over the retention of our data, which federation kind of fundamentally cannot guarantee. An instance in the Fediverse can only guarantee the right to be forgotten on their own instance. I could see this becoming a big regulatory problem as the Fediverse grows. We're already seeing regulatory issues with CSAM, for example.
Maybe I'm desensitized, but I honestly don't remember any gay moments in this movie. There are obviously plenty of guys wearing really "flamboyant" outfits, but it was contrasted with their toxic masculinity (i.e. behavior mostly associated with the types of people who actually tend to be homophobic), which is what made it so goddamn funny.
And I also have no idea what they're talking about with promoting body transformation. Unless you know going in that the one actress is trans, you might not even guess she is. The main joke that even references genitalia is making fun of the fact that the Barbie and Ken dolls have nothing there...
And all this is beside the point anyway. Modern societies shouldn't be catering to the precious feefees of religious/conservative snowflakes. They can just choose not to see this movie instead of ruining it for everyone.
Aside from being tone deaf, I think this is bad advice. Common breakfast foods are fairly cheap comparatively and I'm pretty sure most nutritionists recommend eating something for breakfast to kickstart your metabolism. If I were skipping/reducing a meal, it would be lunch.
If ChatGPT only costs $700k to run per day and they have a $10b war-chest, assuming there were no other overhead/development costs, OpenAI could run ChatGPT for 39 years. I'm not saying the premise of the article is flawed, but seeing as those are the only 2 relevant data points that they presented in this (honestly poorly written) article, I'm more than a little dubious.
But, as a thought experiment, let's say there's some truth to the claim that they're burning through their stack of money in just one year. If things get too dire, Microsoft will just buy 51% or more of OpenAI (they're going to be at 49% anyway after the $10b deal), take controlling interest, and figure out a way to make it profitable.
What's most likely going to happen is OpenAI is going to continue finding ways to cut costs like caching common query responses for free users (and possibly even entire conversations, assuming they get some common follow-up responses). They'll likely iterate on their infrastructure and cut costs for running new queries. Then they'll charge enough for their APIs to start making a lot of money. Needless to say, I do not see OpenAI going bankrupt next year. I think they're going to be profitable within 5-10 years. Microsoft is not dumb and they will not let OpenAI fail.
