Since when did anyone have to register a subdomain?

A fully loaded Surface Pro 12 is a pale imitation of the power of a similarly priced Macbook Pro.

"Despite the limitations of the 1993-era sound card drivers,"

The Gravis Ultrasound ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ), as well as other soundcards which *USED WAVETABLE SYNTHESIS* were available.

Yeah, FM-synthesis sounds like a robot. The SNES SPC-7000 was wavetable. The Sega Genesis used a Z80 for FM synthesis. A GUS card was supperior to the SPC-7000.

If you want to know how good the music is, either run DOOM in DOSBOX with a correct GUS Wavetable patch set (which will let you know how *ACTUALLY GOOD* the music is). Alternatively, the Doom & Doom 2 remaster on Steam has an actual band covering the actual tracks. That also sounds awesome.

Lol; I guess the author wasn't aware of the state of the art in 1993 if that's what they wrote.

Why would I set out to deny something I never mentioned. This is all in your head friend, you need to clean house and join us back in reality.

Nowhere in my comment did I mention America or Trump or any "conservative" view. It's a quote from the UN regarding the Iranian theocracy arresting, torturing, and murdering their own people for the crime of talking about what's happening there.

Iran was murdering their own people by the tens of thousands long before this conflict with America started. Perhaps your focus should be on the atrocities being committed there rather than trying to blame them on the US?

Iran is not the innocent place the media portrays it as.

That IPv8 proposal was confirmed to be AI written, submitted by an anonymous entity in the Bahamas.

It calls for OAuth for authorization of devices but IP operates at Layer 7, OAuth is Layer 3. It's AI slop - complete garbage.

Both the ATSC 1.0 and 3.0 specs include OTA EPG data yet I don't see any of the major vendors using it. There's no reason for Sony or really any OTA receiver maker to have to provide that guide data over the net.

"Journalists" have been caught making bold false claims followed by unread retractions for years, now they will blame it on AI just as CEO's blame AI for job cuts.

Unfortunately the media is rewarded by clicks, not truth.

They said pTOS was being produced by a specific type of gut bacteria, they only measured the levels in the blood.

Bacteria of course are very easy to "cultivate". Might even be possible to introduce that bacteria into the human gut so we can produce it ourselves.

For all the open source projects that were turned into commercial versions by introducing proprietary elements, it seems AI can be used to replicate the proprietary components back as open source.

"Gerger was also frustrated by the proliferation of non-disclosure agreements between big tech companies and local officials"

There should never be a situation where local officials can hide their negotiations behind NDA's. They are PUBLIC officials and the public has the right to know what decisions they are making on behalf of the community (as opposed to the officials enriching themselves or pocketing huge campaign donations).

The solution isn't to censor, it's to clearly label it.

Community notes on X are a good example of how to expose deceitful content without the need for outright censorship, a similar solution would be appropriate here.

If you allow politicians and government officials to decide what the public can or cannot see you can 100% guarantee that system will be abused.

And I would wager these same officials would hire, at taxpayer expense, teams to make sure any negative content would be removed. The public would be paying to have their own voices silenced.

Just being AI based doesn't mean it's intention is to deceive. In most cases it's parody or protected free speech.

I have no issue with slapping a big "AI Deepfake" label on identified deepfake content, but when you start talking about giving politicians and government officials the ability to prevent you from even being heard, that's not ok.

AI has another function beyond "increasing employee productivity". It can also find the employees who are under performing or not needed by the company.

So really there are three compounding reasons:

1) AI making some workers more productive

2) AI identifying workers who poor performers or not needed

3) AI recommending restructuring to cut costs

Completely legit to point to AI for these job cuts for any and all the above reasons.
