It was also made possible by most “good” art coming from privileged upper middle class white men. See: Thoreau writing about the purity of nature while living for free and having his mother come out to do his laundry for him.

Also worth considering that Rowling thinks she’s right, while Gaiman appears to think he did a bad (but technically okay) thing.

Except for one of those letters, and if you redefine “pro” as “not explicitly anti,” then absolutely.

We’ve been “this close” every few years since the 70s. Maybe one out of a hundred people who have “had enough” will ever try to do anything about it.

FWIW, MIB is very much not a supporter of Adams. He’s a decent person who naively thinks that there’s merit in trying to understand where right-wing nutjobs are coming from, and his takeaway from the interview was essentially “Adams is fundamentally incapable of logic or context.”

I’m not an expert, so I’m just going off studies and reports, but the 5% figure is total houses going onto the market. For the next couple decades, the peak is estimated to be 4-5 million homes with owners dying per year, and few hundred thousand of those going onto the market.

The problem is that there are a whole lot of people who desperately wish they were writers, but who either can’t or won’t do the work. They’ve just moved from cornering you at a dinner party to share “this blockbuster idea I had” to typing it into a chat window.

Solid state runs into some fundamental issues, though, especially when it comes to solar and wind. Barring the discovery of some new material, they’re a great innovation without a lot of utility.

The vast majority of those homes aren’t going to hit the market, though; only something like 5% of them aren’t expected to go to either children or a younger spouse.

Out of curiosity, how do animators in PAL regions work, since animating on twos or threes won’t split out evenly? Do they alternate, like with a 3:2 pulldown?

On the other hand, the actual money loaned is tax free, so even double tax on the interest can be minimal.

You’re forgetting “Mr. Payback,” the first of so many interactive films, and which I can only assume swept the 68th Academy Awards.

Yeah, the “hanging out with *those* people will turn you gay” does have some level of truth, insofar as “those” people are the ones who will encourage you to consider such things.

This is fairly common with non-AI stock photography as well; “women laughing about salad” and all that.

the whole situation is a weird intersection of “this guy is legitimately trying to be a good dude” and “this guy fundamentally feels kinda icky.”

Credit scores are absolutely abused in terrible ways, but they’re a whole lot better than the “how does a specific bank employee feel about you” method they replaced.

Its response was because someone had jokingly claimed that adding glue is a good idea. At no point was food photography involved, and at no point did the AI “understand” anything at all.

Hallucination is generally defined as creating wholly new content because it “fits,” e.g. the nonexistent court cases generated in several gpt-created legal documents. This is ‘real’ content being wrongly interpreted.

The twitter account is about 1200 years off, as experts (and the museum the tweet cites) estimates it at around 3800.

We have evidence of wheeled carts from a few hundred years before then.

FWIW, they’re mostly in healthcare, with hospitality and construction coming in second - all largely the result of new government funding. Any new “office jobs” are, if anything, decreasing or staying stagnant.
