Except it isn’t just a name change because with this change you can no longer use it for person to person payments.

This is in regards to the N.R.A. bringing a suit against a NY official who had threatened banks and insurance companies in an effort to stop them from doing business with the N.R.A. after the Parkland shootings.
Customers and shareholders of those banks and insurance companies can put pressure on them to stop doing business with the N.R.A., but government officials, especially in official acts, cannot.
I’m sure if the details of this case were changed so that it took place in Texas, and instead of the N.R.A., it was Planned Parenthood… it would still be a unanimous opinion, right?
The trick is to then open the image in Gimp and export it.
Awesome! Now do it to keep the cops from being able to force you to unlock your phone under duress.
Here’s the one I got… not sure which is worse.
This doesn’t stop doctors, nurses and teachers from reporting abuse, it just exempts them from the law that compels them to report abuse.
Amazingly, none of our troops in WWII hooked up with any Nazis they met online.
My old VW Beetle had an unreliable starter, so I often found myself push-starting it. You don’t see many people push-starting vehicles today, and even fewer doing it by themselves.
I work in IT and the one that kills me is when someone says or writes “On premise” when they mean “On premises”. I have worked for cloud companies and even the official literature is wrong. It has gotten to the point where so many people get it wrong that the official meaning is going to be changed because people are dumb and we can’t have nice things.
Words have meaning, stop fucking them up!
I agree, not necessarily that I like hearing about other people’s dreams, but that I think people should be more willing to actively listen when someone talks about their dreams.
I don’t necessarily like hearing other people’s dreams, but I do like talking about my own dreams, so I will listen. While dreams aren’t real, what happens in dreams can effect people because it is still something they experienced, and talking about stressful situations is a great way to let go of any negative feelings associated with the experience.
Why bother with cremation?
But even then, if every pixel gets marked as ‘created by AI’, it would still be trivial to take real CSAM and run it through an image-to-image generator with denoising turned down to 0.05 and suddenly you have real CSAM that has been marked as ‘legal’ since it is technically AI generated.
Also, keep in mind that there are several open source projects out there where anyone who knows what they are doing could just strip out any protections that might be put in place.
I used to get sick all the time when I was in school. And then when I moved out on my own and had a full time job (providing over the phone tech support) I was sick quite often. I’ve also had periods in my life when I would go years without getting sick, but then about a year ago I’ve started using sick days again.
All of the periods of time when I was getting sick coincide with me not wanting to go to the places I’ required to go (school, crappy workplaces, etc), and the periods of time when I wasn’t sick I was enjoying my job and the people I worked with.
All nations have uncomfortable aspects of their history that they need to come to terms with. It was a dumb thing to say for a President, especially if there’s no proof, but it’s also a dumb thing to get upset over for a Prime Minister when it is a part of their history.
Venues have always sucked. Ticketmaster/LiveNation are trash corporations, but music venues have always been about doing things as cheaply as possible and providing the barest of minimal services.
While I do hate Ticketmaster with a passion, I have to admit that about 6 years ago I went to local venue that had been gobbled up by LiveNation and I was amazed at the transformations they had performed. Bathrooms had actual attendants, people whose job it was to keep the line moving. They would watch stalls and urinals and then tell the next person in line when one was free. Pavilion seating had wait service, so you didn’t actually have to get out of your seat to get an overpriced beer or food. The place was clean, fresh paint was on everything. I was at a concert at this venue last year and it still looked nice and these services hadn’t gone away.
I’m not saying that LiveNation should have the monopoly it has on live shows, but there has to be some kind of middle ground between keeping it fair, but also incentivizing venue owners to keep things looking nice and providing useful services.
It would solve that one problem, but would create so many more and much larger problems.
Can? Your maple syrup comes in cans?
This was before Google was a thing, much less reverse lookup with Google Images. The point I was making is that this kind of thing happened even before Photoshop. Photoshop made it look even more realistic. AI is the next step. And even the current AI abilities are nothing compared to what they are going to be even 6 months from now. Yes, this is a problem, but it has been a problem for a long time and anyone who has wanted to create fake nudes of someone has had the ability to easily do so for at least a generation now. We might be at the point now where if you want to make sure you don’t have fake nudes created of you, then you don’t have images of yourself published. However now that everyone has high quality cameras in their pockets, this won’t 100% protect you.
A kid at my high school in the early 90s would use a photocopier and would literally cut and paste yearbook headshots onto porn photos. This could also be done in bulk and doesn’t require any skills that a 1st grader doesn’t have.
Did you even notice how many times you said ‘I’?
