Yeah this is definitely a "I'll know it when I see it" type of judgement but to be fair most of their customer base if presented with the question of "how would you feel about someone using an AI app to perfectly map your face onto a nude body and distribute them and most people will not know the difference or see it labelled as fake in any way" would have a negative reaction to that.

Well....if the resultant images made me much less fat, and a bit more ripped....I dunno...maybe?

Why is it that the propaganda outlets will only show crimes on black people committed by other black people lately, and they won't report at all on the much higher amount of crimes committed on black people by white people?

Because statistics and raw numbers show that this is simply not the case, by a long shot.

Check your numbers again on black/black crime, especially violent crime.

...while other US states are trying to ban EVs, solar & wind, etc.. Swings & roundabouts, mate. Swings & roundabouts.

Ugh...I fucking HATE roundabouts.

I've seen a couple pop up here and there in a couple states I've been in recently.

Shortly followed by a huge increase in penalties and taxes for anybody operating one of those things in California. I know it's a dazzlingly beautiful and tempting notion but Milton Friedman was right about one thing, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

You know, at some point, when life gets tough enough in CA, taxes get just TOO high (and I'd have to think it's close now)....the people will finally wake up and vote the politicians OUT of office that are making their lives so difficult with regards to income, taxes and transportation.

It was only a few decades ago that CA was a Republican state.

It has changed back and forth over the years.

Numerous US states are going to ban new ICE sales , eg california by 2035.

I wouldn't hold my breath or put down heavy bets on that just yet.

With current trends...EV sales dropping, etc....unless the battery tech gets better quickly, and there is more infrastructure....states likely will have to extend those deadlines just out of practicality....

Of course a lot can happen in 10 years, but also, as we've seen....a lot can just NOT happen in 10 years.

Valve and Facepunch didn't create those assets. Users did (generally speaking).

They really don't. Gary's Mod has been using assets from Nintendo IP for probably over a decade by this point. Trademark is still intact.

You totally whiffed on the opportunity for "power bottom" jokes.

How long has TikTok been operating at a loss?

And guess who owns a piece of it?

Tencent.

And what other Bytedance-owned business profits from TikTok acting as a lose-leader in the United States?

How many services do you use that exfiltrate user data to the PRC and/or assist the PRC with psyops campaigns?

Services such as Facebook amplify those problem behaviors and then feed off of them.

They were making assumptions, the type which can often go against the average citizen and it should not be such.

There are liberals on the supreme court?!

VERY much so...

Kagen, Jackson and Sotomayor....I dunno if I got the spelling right on those...
