While Trump is obviously a POS and I'd love for him to be banned from running, not allowing anyone to run for office from prison would set a really dangerous precedent.

Problem is that the morality taught by Christianity, and most other large organized religions, is extremely outdated and has spent many hundreds of years being corrupted by those in power to oppress others. I mean these people literally believe that God will punish our entire society if we don't eradicate LGBTQ groups. I actually think these people would be much more tolerant of others if they had never encountered organized religion and just learned to coexist with others organically.

I've been using a Pixel 3 for about 5 years and I love it. I actually got a pixel 7 for work earlier this year and honestly prefer the pixel 3 lol. I've had some charging issues because lint gets stuck in the charge port, but I've been able to mostly solve those by cleaning out the port with a toothpick.

Same with competitive sports. As a tennis player, if I lose a match I'm usually doubly motivated to get back out there for another one.

Idk man I'm pretty sure the number 6 transitioned from number 9 and now wants to have sex with children.

That moment when you learn what .ml stands for.

Communities in California could also just let people build more housing, but God forbid the poors move into my neighborhood.

About 14 years or so for me. Was starting to get a bit bored of that place anyway. I've been enjoying Lemmy a lot so far.

It's actually very different. An AI is not something that you just go build and then it's immediately useful. One an AI is built it needs to be trained in a process where it is exposed to examples of real works (text, image, video, etc) and "learns" how to reproduce similar works. This learning process involves using the real works to fine tune parameters of a large mathematical model. These tuned parameters are what make the AI an AI and not just a useless pile of random numbers. So arguably, the owner of every work used to train the model is as much a contributor to the AI as the AI company itself.

These media companies not only want to use artists' works to train a model that they will not be given any ownership of, they want to also own the rights to an artist's image and likeness to be able to reproduce that image and likeness in a potentially infinite number of derived works without needing to compensate the artist.

But then you have to change accounts, which I understand isn't difficult, though it's still something that needs to be done proactively by the user. Would be nice to just have a better content ranking algorithm that gives smaller communities a chance.

$100k avg salary for a New York tech company? The lowest level employees there almost certainly make well above that. If we're talking avg salary it's probably at least $200k.

In a similar vein, I got some high quality mittens this past year and they've been incredible. I moved from California to Colorado recently and my previous finger gloves just couldn't hold up to the Colorado cold.
