¡Buen miércoles! Hoy 🌤️⛅️🌤️ 19° de máx. Para el "turno mañana". La natalidad en la Argentina se redujo casi a la mitad ¡en diez años!, uno de los descensos más rápidos del mundo. Interesantísimo trabajo de @humbertodebat intenta entender el proceso www.eldestapeweb.com/sociedad/nat...

Natalidad: en la Argentina descendió casi un 50% en los últimos 10 años

Taxituren kostet 21.230 kroner: – Jeg er sint
De takket nei da de ble tilbudt skyss inne på flyplassen, og stilte seg i taxikøen i stedet. Likevel endte turen til Oslo med et korttrekk på 21.230 kroner.

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

It is so remarkably easy to tell this piece is also the output of a text program rather than thoughtful work, even though he's clearly put way more effort into making it seem 'human' than usual. It is stilted and weird and unnatural and it just feels icky all the way through

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.
Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.
