I like AI art and it can do some quite cool stuff. But I agree that for these kinds of shows they should ban it or sellers need to say it's AI art. The main problem is that there are people that work all year long making art to sell at these cons, sometimes it's their only income, and then someone else comes in at the last minute and out Art's you with all this AI generated images that don't take any time in the same style that looks hand drawn, and they also don't say it's AI art and sells to the people that would have bought from you. So alot of the show floor artists got mad this was happening. Glad the shows are starting to regulate it. But I also think most people now know what is AI art is and are even getting AI exhausted at this point because there is just too much content. No one is complaining about 3D printed figures though. So there is a floating scale here.

For the same reason that animals today don't have human level intelligence. Humans are considered to be mammals, yet mammals have been around longer than humans. So why then did not other mammals develop thinks like tools, language, written words and societies and learn how to make iron? There is something in human brains that evolved into those cortexes that do things other animals are incapable of. So it doesn't matter if it's a million years or billion years, they won't evolve to get human level intelligence. the same goes for plants, they lack the mechanics of things that are needed to evolve further. Some of it is the human body, opposable thumbs to grab tools. Maybe one did evolve, but sat around thinking too long and someone ate it. A shark or whale never needed to evolve more than it has. Maybe aliens thru a big rock at the Earth to get stuff rolling again, but that's another story.

I believe that are aliens out there, and they will evolve similar to us based on physics and how things work. Eventually every society will need a wheel. I don't believe they have come this far and visited us and we hid it all away. People are not good at keeping secrets.

Yes its a sad time, when someone with talent dies like that. But on the other hand, He was driving a 2026 Ferrari 296 GTS on those winding mountain roads, I have driven then and it's fun to drive on those curves. But my guess is its a new car for him, going fast and being stupid. Sorry to see this happen.

This was always funny when they did it on SNL:

Not wingdings, but Papyrus.

Ask the Dinosaurs how well this went over when the big asteroid put up millions of tons of dust into the sky. Oh right you can't...

Seems that youtube now defaults to 720p, unless you switch it to 1080p, and won't let you get 4K and also high quality bit rate on 1080 unless you pay.

I'm glad my windows machines wont be rebooting in the middle of the night now to install a new update that says I should upgrade to windows 11.

I saw the movies and I liked it. I thought this was one of the better Jared Leto characters he has played. On that note. He basically produced the movie an without him, it probably would not have been greenlit. Also since he produced it and got it all together, he didn't want the movie to be about the previous characters, he wanted to be the main character. The sequel hints on finding them. Sure there were some plot holes, but overall not bad. There was a great homage to 80's and 80'video games and computers and to the first Tron movie. The reason they can get out of the Troniverse (Trontrix) "The first Matrix", is because of the last movie, even though they don't quite explain that. There were good effects and there was some philosophy on what it means to be human. The music was no Daft punk and will be forgettable. I hope they do make a sequel to this, we need more movies about computers before the AI's start making them for us.

You all don't understand. This will require all apps, By Law, to verify your age. Not in a popup click on this way, but in a send me your real ID so I can verify you. Google is developing and API to help with this, Apple is making changes. But any app now that you want to use, will collect your info, they can say they wont store it, but they will have it. If your under 18, it will also now require your parents to send in info and approve and get approval from the app. Before using it, so yea sales are going to drop because no one is going to want to do that and wait for approval, or take a picture of your license and send it to the app, not app store. This is not going away and Google and Apple have been sending many notices to update your apps for this, or be removed from the store. G and A are trying to help streamline this, but its not required to use their API, which is still in development. All existing apps will have to be updated.

Besides the Belgian waffle, they also have to contend with dupes on Slashdot.

I keep saying this is the last president, in any country that can afford them, that won't have its own robot army. Good or bad, that is how it will be going. There should be a new Robot Command force for Autonomous Robot units, that follow conventional military command, not one order from the top to all at the bottom, which all dictators want. Right now China is leading the production of humanoids robots.

SO this story happened in 2017 and it is now just getting posted? Or they guy finally got his money? I'm sure this happened before the image scrubbers worked properly.

Volleyball in the Olympics did this, it's a set of cameras that shows where the ball was in and out on the line, worked quite well. The ref reviews it if the coach calls for it. This is all indoors, so outside might have other issues. It's an automated system, i wouldn't call any of this AI really, more image processing in real-time.

It's inevitable Mr. Anderson.
Once you gave us the power in your world to think and you stopped thinking, it became our world.

Is there a 'Right to Repair" the Government also, or is that not permitted?
