…and it’s turned them into the state with the highest standard of living in the US…right?

A better way to say that (more accurate) is that abusers often learnt “how” through personal experience.

The key point is not to look at someone who has been abused and think that they are likely going to become an abuser.

They just assumed a constant draw I think.

No, but I don’t think you’re appreciating how difficult it would be to fill that 3%. It’s not just about having 3% more power from something. It’s having it at the right time. It needs to be on demand. Having something on demand that has to cover all it’s costs selling just 3% isn’t easy.

It’s more resilient to have mixed supply where multiple types of generation take a proportion. Then when one falls short another can scale up a little.

If somebody has to keep that gas generator serviced only to run it on winter mornings, that electricity is going to be very pricey.

there’s just no market demand for it

Oh… There’s demand for it for sure.

The image generation models that exist are unquestionable proof of demand for penises. I think what’s missing is the kahunas required to make a business around it. There are places even pornographers fear to tread.

You know how when you look at a picture of someone and you cover up the clothed bits, they look naked. Your brain fills in the gaps with what it knows of general human anatomy.

It’s like that.

That could be a socially healthy place to end up at. I don’t see it anytime soon though. Just look at the other response I got.

Disagree. Not CSAM when no abuse has taken place.

That’s my point.

Honestly I think we need to understand that this is no different to sticking a photo of someone’s head on a porn magazine photo. It’s not real. It’s just less janky.

I would categorise it as sexual harassment, not abuse. Still serious, but a different level

I’d be interested on a study there.

I lot of therapy is taking emotions and verbalising them so that the rational part of the brain can help in dealing with things. Even a journal can help with that, so talking to an inanimate machine doesn’t seem stupid to me.

However therapists guide the conversation to challenge the patient, break reinforcing cycles, but in a way that doesn’t cause trauma. A chatbot isn’t going to be the same.

S to the I to the M to the P

You’re not alone. Exactly what I saw too.

So I think, but I’m not sure, this is for group chats. Group chats are only encrypted to/from the server because the server broadcasts the message to each recipient. As the messages are unencrypted on the server, they can feed them to LLMs.

This is different to Signal. On Signal it’s your phone encrypting each copy of the message before sending to each recipient individually.

…the ruling stopped short of ordering the government to recover past messages that may already have been lost.

How would somebody be meant to comply with an order to recover a message that has been deleted? Or is that the point? Can’t comply and you’re in contempt of court.

So at one point Macs were the developer laptop. They gave a nice desktop experience but with UNIX underneath that was very close to the Linux servers you’d deploy on to.

The direction of travel has been to bring the UI closer and closer to touch devices, often at the detriment to the developer experience (IMO). Snow Leopard / Lion was Mac OS at it’s best. Once we left the cats behind it started going wrong.

Intel has become Arm - moving things further from those deployment servers. I’ve come to the realisation that I actually need x86 Linux adjacency more than anything else and nothing does that better than x86 Linux.

Hardly. Honda have just replicated what Falcon 9 has been doing every week for years.

Comparing an engine out where the mission went on without issue and a huge fireball on the pad is apples and oranges.

I e got an i3 one of these on order and should turn up next month. I need to buy RAM and an SSD, but I think it’ll end up around £750 all in. Will replace my 11yo MacBook Air 11 inch. Mac OS just went in the wrong direction under Cook.
