I get your point, but it’s still better than ‘in 20 years everyone will still be doing nothing’.
Challenge defeatism.

Deep Impact is to Armageddon as Volcano is to Dante’s Peak.
This would be cool if you could zoom down to street level and kinda drive/fly around.
Well said. Optimism is important.
Good enough for now, certainly. Hence my point about lab grown meat. It’s meat. It’s not an approximation, it’s the real deal.
A couple of years ago I saw an article on Toyota inventing something called solid state battery’s… Never heard anything about that again.
… the article you provided was nothing more than “LG is researching solid state batteries”
Certainly it’s the best choice currently, but lab grown meat will be the best option for the future, offering the best of both worlds - want to eat meat? Go ahead! Want to remain vegan? No problem!
Maybe, but we can certainly help by, amongst many other things, not advertising AI Nude Apps on Instagram. Ultimately what we shouldn’t be doing is blaming the victims by implying they are somehow at fault for having the audacity to upload pictures of themselves to the Internet.
It’s about consent. If you have no problem with people jerking off to your pictures, fine, but others do.
If you don’t want people to jerk off to your photos, don’t upload any. It happens with and without these apps.
You get that that opinion is pretty much the same as those who say if she didn’t want to be harrassed she shouldn’t have worn such provocative clothing!?
How about we allow people to upload whatever pictures they want and try to address the weirdos turning them into porn without consent, rather than blaming the victims?
Good, keep applying more pressure!
Excellent news.
I mean, yes in so far that it opens those options up to people who may not have been able to afford it before. Whether that’s a ‘need’ or not depends on your opinion of the company I guess.
Also there are other applications beyond this, of course. Easily made videos could help reduce the costs associated with treating some mental health issues for example.
The you have the ability for novice film makers to make content, a bit like how engines like Unity have made it easier for people to make games. Sure there’ll be shit-tier tat, but there’ll also be content made by creators that may never have had the chance otherwise.
OK, poor example, but you get my point.
I mean, the ability to generate whatever video you want without having to pay the costs normally associated with filming, location, actors etc is going to be very appealing to people like advertisers. This way you can have a few seconds of a beach for your travel company advert, for example, without having to pay for the stock footage or film it yourself. In fact I can see this transforming stock footage in general. Why bother to pay someone to make a generic video of ‘people having a meeting’ when an AI can do it for free in half the time. Doesn’t even need to be that good if you’re only using it briefly in a presentation. Not saying any of this is a good thing, but here we are…
I mean, it might seem that way but evidence suggests otherwise: https://www.undp.org/press-releases/worlds-largest-survey-public-opinion-climate-change-majority-people-call-wide-ranging-action
This is more likely evidence of the lack of awareness people have of data like this, rather than a disinterest in the topic. Just because it’s readily available, doesn’t mean people know about it. Also, don’t confuse a lack of interest in viewing data on air quality as a lack of interest in air quality itself. Those are not the same thing.
I think people probably care quite a lot, actually. What’re you basing that statement off of?
I’d rather ‘little contribution’ than none at all. I’d rather ‘every couple of clicks’ than none at all. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than the major alternatives.
Agreed. I think better battery tech will allow for lighter EVs, but even so at the very least we need vehicle manufacturers to expand their EV range beyond massive SUVs and Sedans, to include more reasonably sized hatch backs etc.
You’re right; however. Public transport is shocking where I live, and is in dire need of improvement.
Maybe, maybe not. I prefer to try and remain optimistic until evidence proves otherwise. Time will tell, I guess.
