  • I believe it does, though not to a really significant degree. I've had similar arguments with people over expressing the same opinion. And you can see some of those arguments even being made in this thread.

  • They'd get a really big megaphone and tell the pilot "Pull over!"

    jk, they'll just fire a Sidewinder missile at it if it deviates from its flight path.

  • Sounds pretty par for the course for Oakland, tbh. The locals probably know better, but the airport ought to be notifying visitors that they can't be leaving valuables in their cars in that city. And that they're gonna want the insurance on their rentals.

  • That's a completely separate argument than the comment you replied to was making.

  • What's the professional way to kill somebody?

  • Good, took them long enough. Hopefully they also retroactively ban those users they've detected with it, too.

  • That's really not far off from actual Taliban recruitment and propaganda tactics these days. They have a public Twitter account, if anybody's forgotten.

  • They'd shoot the plane down if they can't get the pilot to land safely. They'd rather one plane full of innocent passengers gets killed than a plane full of innocent passengers and a building full of even more innocents.

  • He wrote:

    "On my way to blow up the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban)."

    There's no way that text doesn't get automatically flagged for review by Snapchat.

  • The kid didn’t say this publicly

    I'm not sure what this changes. Do actual terrorists make their plans public? IANAT, but I'm pretty sure they discuss and plan their actions privately most of the time.

    Besides, look at what he wrote:

    "On my way to blow up the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban)."

    If he somehow didn't expect that line of text to get his Snapchat auto-watchlisted, then he's even dumber than originally thought.

  • This isn't even really new information. I wrote a paper in college about HPV vaccines being used to prevent cervical cancer, and that was about 18 years ago now. And the data I wrote my paper on wasn't even that new at the time, either.

    Though, it's always good to see more long-term studies like this. It just backs up what we've known for ages now: Vaccines work.

  • As is the case for most streamer-bait games like this. Know anybody who's still playing Only Up?

  • The tech is even far older than the article. I remember seeing this being demo'd at least a decade ago. Though, it looks like the fidelity has improved significantly from the early proof-of-concept videos that were floating around for a while.

  • That's not how modern AI image generation works. AI no longer just mix-and-matches various assets from a library. It's creating its own unique images based on what it knows about the shapes and colors of things its been trained on.

  • Yeah, one of them definitely had the fake, post-processed bokeh effect added to it that a lot of phones with "portrait mode" use. Which, to be completely fair, makes that technically an AI-generated image.

    I was looking for artifacts of AI generation, and I found them, but I'm still wrong. I can't win.

  • I went ahead and requested mod for a couple of those mags. I wouldn't be able to dedicate too much time to it, but I could at least take on a janitorial role and help clean up the spam that keeps flooding in.
