Not all data centers are for AI. Practically anything you do on the internet lives or transits through a data center. A very serious answer to your question is simply “the internet”. AI data centers are just bigger and more dense than the ones that have been around for a long time.

I think it’s easiest to tell by the skin between their toes. For some reason, most don’t like it when I get down on the floor and try to look.

They do make CAT5 pluggable SFPs. They are weird but come in handy from time to time.

You are wise beyond your years oh great professor

I did that and I’m curious why you say you wouldn’t want to deal with it?

That house is a nightmare for any craftsman working on it too. You can pretty much forget about most external DIY stuff. Straight lines make for easy projects. Even crooked lines that are supposed to be straight are better than the curves and twists on this thing.

Raspberry Pi’s were like $65 last I checked. Not exactly plug and play but it’s not difficult to flash lineageOS or even Android TV.

I looked into it a while back and the consensus seemed to be yes, but no one really works on it because there’s hundreds of TV models out there and no way to universalize the process.

First, I never intended to get this far into a debate on this topic. My original comment was meant as a somewhat dark joke (“no one would want to see that anyway” being the subtext) that everyone took super seriously and I like to go with the conversational flow so now here we are.

Second, I don’t think framing someone for sexual abuse of a minor is in the same category as fake nudes. No one is going to prison (under current laws) for possessing nude pictures as long as both parties are in the same age cohort from a legal perspective. That’s a pretty significant distinction in my opinion.

Third, I don’t believe I said or implied that fake images cannot cause harm. I said on more than one occasion that you can only control your reaction to them. The fact that they were created and distributed without your consent sucks, but what are you going to do about that after the fact? I’m a very utilitarian person and I see no utility in feeling sorry for myself so that’s not a behavior I generally engage in. Other people probably feel differently about that and that’s fine. I might seem cold to them and they might seem whiny to me. Different strokes.

You don’t know me so starting a rumor about me might be harder without a personal connection to my social circle, but most fake nude stories I’ve heard about are within schools where both parties know each other and are similar ages. That’s functionally very similar to a rumor except there’s a compelling reason to believe the person saying it’s fake now that AI image generators are a thing. Yes, it still sucks, but people making stuff up is also not new. Humans lie and that’s a part of life that most people have serious encounters with at one point or another. I don’t know that I think deep fakes are any more or less damaging than the other forms of that behavior that have historically been common. You might be on to something in regards to CSM but there’s parallels to other kinds of false accusations in that area as well.

Now I’m bullying you? You’ve the lost the plot hard man

I didn’t say they should be free to do it. I said the only part of that situation you can control is your own reaction. If people don’t believe you when you say they’re fake then those people are assholes just like the people who made the fakes. That doesn’t mean you should spend your time being upset by it all. That’s the goal of the people who did it.

This isn’t situationally different than people spreading rumors about you. Those you care about should believe you when you say it isn’t true. If they don’t then you have a problem that’s not related to the situation you find yourself in.

There it is again. “Don’t act like you’re right and others are wrong” doesn’t work as a prescriptive when you’re doing exactly that in your replies.

Why is it so important to you that I think about things the same way you do? You’re tossing out every derogatory pop-psychology term you can think of in an effort to make me conform to your way of thinking and yet I’m supposed to believe that you’re the empathetic one. I don’t think so buddy. Get over yourself.

I am all of these to different people. None of them are particularly accurate though. For example, going to the gym twice a week makes me a trainer to the lazy ones, etc etc.

I understand the logic of it just fine. Disagreeing with the response is not a sign of a lack of empathy. I’ve said repeatedly that people can feel how they want. I find it ironic that those of you purporting to be open minded are the ones trying to control how others feel about this topic.

I’m happy to provide a picture if you think making some deep fakes would make you feel better. Also, as I said, people are allowed to be upset by whatever they choose. If deep fakes of you exist and that upsets you then feel free to rage about it all you like. I don’t see the point in feeling anything more than annoyed at having to explain that the pictures are fake but, again, that’s just me.

Canadians expect 20% tips. I’m sure others do as well.

Edit: You can downvote if you like but it’s still true

You guys can all make deep fake nudes of me if you want. I’m not saying everyone should feel like me but I promise you I would not care even one little bit.

You make less than $6000/year? How? I feel like you could make that much collecting cans for recycling

That doesn’t stop him from borrowing real money from real banks using this supposedly imaginary stock value as collateral. I’m sure he’s more than happy for people to call it fake news while he buys yachts and islands and surrogate mothers with that money.
