‘the jobseeker rate, which is equivalent to annual earnings of $20,634, has you well in the bottom 10% of all earnings.

So, let’s dispense with the bullshit that such amounts in any way discourage people from wanting to work’

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

Yeah I only use AI for the fun part right at the beginning where we're kicking ideas around and not worried about budget or expectations. Just the best part of any group creative endeavor, me and my team challenging each other with our most visionary ideas, I'm looking to automate that

This is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s bill. Today she claimed, "For far too long, children have been sexually exploited under the malicious falsehood of so-called gender-affirming care."
The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors.

Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote.

What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

Incredible story from SBS News about an unnamed second Middle Eastern man who kicked the younger murderer's gun out of the way - and because of his appearance he was briefly attacked himself.
