If the photo is for an advertisement or a web page, my AI browser will be instructed not to display it if it adds nothing to my query. For instance, if I want to know if Tescoburies are offering marmite flavoured crisps for sale, I will not have to click through pointless pages showing me cheerful AI generated customers and staff or attractively-lit crisp packets. If I want to know if a hotel has a room available, I need not wade through dozens of intentionally misleading AI generated photos of rooms.

An inferior AI product is cheaper to run.
Hmmm.
An inferior AI product is cheaper to run and the AI rental companies want to maximise profit once they grow their user base.

Hmmm.
Probably nothing to worry about.

Comment Epstein was a kind and generous recluse. (Score 2) 51

Epstein has been given quite a bad time in the press recently, but he was in reality a nice guy. Look at Peter Mandelson, Peter had never heard of Epstein, let alone had any contact with him, yet Epstein kindly let Peter stay in one of his houses while he was away.
Epstein also organised parties to cheer people up in these troubled times, but because he was shy, never attended them himself. Most of the people, even well-connected royalty and billionaires, attending the parties had also never met or even heard of Epstein. Bill Gates probably had no dealings with Epstein at all, it is all just wild speculation intended to sell newspapers.

Comment Clean-room Windows clones would not sell. (Score 1) 120

BusinessBros would continue to throw money at Microsoft for genuine Windows. It is like a cargo cult or something to them, other companies used microsoft and exploited their workers and polluted everything and became rich so they must use microsoft and exploit their workers and pollute everything in the hope that they become rich. Insane, but if they had thinking skills or ethics they wouldn't be BusinessBros.

I grew up and remained poor and would disagree. You don't take what you can get the moment you can get it because you are then left with no buffer against unexpected things happening. If you are poor, you have to think long-term because you don't have anyone to bail you out. If you are well-off, by which I mean in a regular job making average pay, you can be impulsive because if you overspend this month, you can cut back next month. If you are poor, there is nothing to cut back from.
Mind you there are a lot of people whose idea of unexpected outgoings include yearly car insurance and tyres wearing out.
