I uploaded a photo of an outdoor scene and got a three paragraph description giving the location (taken from GPS coordinates, presumably), a description of the scene, weather conditions, and the statement that there were things in the sky that could be UFOs.
If you want an anti-woke game engine, what are you doing on an operating system whose mascot is a transgender foxgirl?
The Godot Engine is getting better every day.
Transphobia is, though, according to previous court rulings. Maybe if they threw in some TERF talking points, they’d have a case.
Don’t forget mutual aid requests
That and cheap and cheerful musical keyboards.
Cutting out everyone but the middleman
Finally, they can make a robo-Rogan that can radicalise young men at a fraction of the cost
BlueSky has already received funding from venture capital, and so will need to find a way to monetise its user base. Once enough people depend on the site for their social connections and friend circles, the promise of decentralisation will be quietly removed, APIs will be restricted (as on Reddit/Xitter), terms of service updated to ban circumvention, and the user-controlled algorithms modified to deliver your eyeballs to the advertisers and your data to data brokers, and before long, it’ll be an Instagram-style slot machine, where you mostly see ads and AI pink-slime, but keep pulling the lever in case there’s another update you care about in there somewhere.
Their US and Australian divisions are solid. The UK one varies, and has some decent people, but also has a persistent infestation of TERF/SWERFs. A few high-profile ones have left after their comments became irreconcilable with the paper’s ostensibly liberal/progressive line, but you still get regular Observer opinion columns about pronoun-mongers sexualising our children or other scare campaigns. There’s a rumour that the editor, Kath Viner, is herself a TERF and personally protecting them, though I haven’t seen any evidence one way or the other.
They could spin up a Mastodon instance, but given how lousy their UK editorial department is with TERFs, it would be justifiably blocked for transphobia.
Do they want to get France kicked out of NATO?
So, accept cybertrucks in the narrow streets of Italian hill towns, high fructose corn syrup in all food, freedom of hate speech driving vulnerable voices out of your public square, and AR-15s for everyone who wants one, or we throw you to the Orcs?
Why would a PM who saved his party from a popular leftist movement have sympathy for Pinochet? It makes no sense.
Someone could make Union Jack-patterned poppies, for those who want to show in no uncertain terms how gammony they are. They could sell them through ads in the Daily Mail, arguing that the traditional red poppy has been taken over by “wokeness”, and make a lot of money.
He’s technically not wrong.
Singapore, or as William Gibson called it, Disneyland With The Death Penalty.
IIRC, they do forbid third-party clients from their network. You can build it from source, but you won’t be able to connect to production Signal servers.
Third-party clients would not necessarily be a bad thing. Signal has limited resources, and as such has to cut corners. I for one would love a native desktop client that’s not Electron bloatware.
If Britain had proportional representation, they’d have a chance of being the leftmost party in left-of-centre coalitions alongside Labour and the Green Party (sort of like Die Linke in Germany or Vänsterpartiet in Sweden), or any least harrying a Labour-LibDem-Green-SNP-Plaid coalition from the left. Though under FPTP, they have a snowball’s chance in Hell, and are likely to serve as motivation for Labour to rule out electoral reform.
Another one: “The car license plates visible give a hint of local registration.”
It looks like a LLM trained on images, which is to say, its output would be text that sounds like it plausibly belongs in a description of an image, whether or not it is true or even meaningful.
