That's what I meant

Wouldn't this be circular? Using extra friction to charge a battery that stores the energy that will be used to overcome the extra friction. I guess it could work if it's a hybrid car, and extra friction is used when the the car is running on gas. Or if extra friction is only used while braking

It's mostly because mistakes in a face are more noticeable than mistakes elsewhere. The creator of Craiyon (formerly known as Dall-E mini) explains it here: https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/dall-e-mini-creator-explains-blurred-faces-going-viral-and-the-future-of-the-project/ The same goes for AI upscaling algorithms too. There are general purpose AI upscaling algorithms that can upscale any kind of content: landscapes, buildings, etc. To human perception, the faces upscaled with these algorithms look horrible most of the time. The only AI upscalers that do well with faces have specialised algorithms and training data that exclusively deals with faces.

I think crypto as an investment isn't that bad. The prices have been going through evenly spaced cycles of booms and crashes since the beginning, it's like seasons changing. It's winter time again now but I don't think the winter will be permanent. Also, if you had bought bitcoin at any point in the 2010s and held it until now, you would be in profit despite the current crash

I think getting an AI to act intelligently in the same way as humans display intelligence (having a model of the world and solving problems to achieve goals) is indeed just a matter of providing good data and algorithms. AI has already been able to beat humans in chess for a long time, and I'm sure it can eventually beat humans in any field when enough time and resources are put into developing it. The problems in the way of this are just technical problems that can be solved with scientific means. However, determining whether an artificial general intelligence is conscious or not will be an impossible task because this runs into the hard problem of consciousness. This is going to be weird in the future: humans coexisting with super-intelligent machines, with no way to tell if these machines have any qualia or not.

I haven't been following Nina Kraviz's statements closely so I could be missing something, but anyway: many Russians who are actually against Putin avoid publicly condemning Putin and pretend to be apolitical because standing up against Putin could get them jailed, poisoned or murdered. This is completely different from living in a Western democracy where publicly criticising your country's leader doesn't involve any serious risk and doesn't require any courage. Of course the Dutch guys at Clone wouldn't hesitate to publicly protest if the Dutch government did something they strongly object to but that's because they can be sure that the Dutch government wouldn't murder them for protesting. Maybe there is some miscommunication going on due to these reasons?

I would guess that these memory problems aren't dementia yet. It's more likely that they are a short-term side effect of benzos that only happens when you have benzos in your system

For the past half a year, Youtube's algorithm's music recommendations for me are always just the same 3 tracks by Detroit in Effect. These tracks are not bad but they're also not great enough to fit in my top 100 of all time favourite tracks. I don't know why Youtube's algorithm thinks I'm so crazy about Detroit in Effect that I don't want to hear anything else

Yes. Also, Putin's grand plan was to unite Russians and Ukrainians as one nation. Now Putin's actions have made Ukrainians even more opposed to this than before

Yes, you are completely right in your assessment, the stuff he posts is out of context and/or bullshit. How are you doing, are you still in Ukraine?

It's just one guy with some kind of a mental health problem who is siding with Putin and calling Ukrainians nazis in this thread. Don't pay attention to him

Just do it, there's tons of tutorials for that on Youtube and the basics of it aren't all that complicated

Did you learn to use a DAW yet?

That's what Russia is all about: grabbing land and then not putting it to any good use

I picture Russia's nuclear launch control computer as a PC that hasn't been touched since it was inherited from Yeltsin's government. It's a white box with a CRT monitor, with a floppy disk drive and a CD drive, running pirated Windows 98, and has somehow got infected with BonziBuddy malware
