I'll agree that it's fiction created by an AI (probably), but not that it's what it meant by slop. Not unless it's very carelessly done.

What it *is* is AI generated deceptive advertising.

I'm sorry your co-workers have dysfunctional families. But they will move away to different places to find work, so they won't be near you to give support.

Your passport number is all that really matters. Everything else is just for the plebes, when you interact with the TSA or other government agencies, the number gets checked against the government records which gives back a photo along with the other information. The issuing country tracks everything by that number, but that's not the end of it.

When you go abroad, they take a photo of you and your passport and put it in a database, using your country plus passport # as the real id. Now that new country starts to track you too.

Spies really hate this because it means that once they go to a country they really can't go back to it using a different name. The computer would match up your new false identity with the photo they took of you with the old identification.

I just bought a house in March. Any listing where the home was already vacated (95% in my case) the listing was AI-augmented with furniture that would not exist when I went to tour the home.

This has nothing to do w/renting; it's everywhere.

Who wants to bet that the IRS suddenly has a massive drop in taxes paid by small businesses this year.

Because receipts are a lot more important to the IRS than to corporations, and the current leadership is NOT very interested in investigating fraud by business men.

Sorry, but that's not a general truth, and the deduction that "such that we wanted to have kids, sex would suck" is neither justified not justifiable. Many people *do* want to have kids. Sufficiently so that they even adopt them.

You're part right. Yes, "You really have to enjoy kids for their own sake to make it a net lifetime benefit", but that's not sufficient. In modern society it's *going* to be a net cost, and not a small one. And if you don't spend much time with them, the benefits necessarily decrease.

FWIW, it was discovered in India in the 1950's that giving a village a TV would decrease the birth rate. Alternative choices of activity are important factors.

... or small notes.

Then, they expect viewers to be able to read them.

Many video editors are completely out of touch with how most people watch the video they create.

That depends on the distance from your eyes. The experiment varied this distance in order to vary the PPD (Pixels Per Degree) and see what participants could distinguish at various PPDs.

It's not just that. In the past kids were only a slight economic cost. They were only a slight opportunity cost. And they were the support for when you became too elderly to work.

None of those are true anymore.

The current system has well known and expectable failure modes. This, unfortunately, cannot be true of any replacement system.

Wow. You are so cool. I mean, your ability to take an intelligently written argument, think about who could have made it, then insult them, all in such few words.

It is amazing.

All without countering a single thing said.

You should be a politician. Or a 9th grader

Real D&D didn't involve computers. (It often did involve painting purchased figurines.)

Actually, I expect that parts of the TSMC assembly factories are automated, which would make them "AI factories". A computer center is not an "AI Factory" unless it is running a factory.

Another plausible meaning would be an organization that turns out AIs, like OpenAI or Anthropic.

Most other uses are abuse of the language.

I don't think "most likely" is a suitable basis for safety rules. OTOH, one also shouldn't demand certainty, as that's not going to be possible. Say a solution that would work in over 97% of the cases...perhaps even a bit more conservative.

OTOH, nothing will protect you against an ID10T error.
