Tyler Perry Puts $800M Studio Expansion on Hold After Seeing OpenAI’s Sora: “Jobs Are Going to Be Lost”
  • Everyone shitting on AI so let's put a reality check on it.

    Presuming things develop as they do rn, AIs are really good at producing images of high quality and clips of low quality. They are capable of producing music clips of low quality. They are capable of text to speech while simulating specific voices and converting one voice into the other while maintaining pitch and characteristics. They are able to create medium-size texts.

    AIs are currently unable to create longer low quality videos or shorter high quality clips. They are unable to create songs. They are unable to create isolated sound design or synthesize voices from scratch. They are unable to create cohesive publications or story scripts.

    From what I can tell, there are no indications for AI to replace most creative jobs. The only thing they will replace are jobs that do not require creativity but that do require a lot of repetitive processes. That is a plus in my book.

    I think the hype around AI is overblown, but I also think the dystopian outlook on AI is overblown as well.

    AI is just a tool. It can be just as good or as bad as anyone who's using it is, and we already have that with the internet itself. I don't think this will completely change our everyday life in a big way, just a few more annoyances in one part of our lives, and a few less in another.

    That said, even if it's not world changing, it will be important to get to know how it works, and that's more out of convenience, and less out of necessity.

    (please correct me if any information is wrong)

  • Why are bass tones relaxing?
  • The effects of light might be skewed because we have gained some survival instincts from evolution, and the natural daylight goes through a cycle of colours that could have direct subconscious reactions.

    I generally do agree with you though.

  • Court blocks $1 billion copyright ruling that punished ISP for its users’ piracy
  • Bizarre ruling that's for sure.

    In my head, either they are liable and need to pay up (not in my opinion but that would make much more sense) or they are not and need to pay nothing.

    This shit is weird. It's like accusing someone of helping steal your smartphone and then wanting them buy a pack of Oreos to make it even.

  • Interesting article.

    I love how they are not directly taking the piss out of the quote, but going out of their way to show how there's a vastly different meaning behind what he's saying in opposition to what he intended.

    You know, in layterms, he doesn't fucking know the words that come out of his mouth.

    How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?
  • Sounds like a bad idea considering:

    a lot of past convicts that have been rehabilitated shouldn't be allowed into 87.3% of all jobs

    https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/remote-work-statistics/

    And further considering the innocence project claims that about 4% of those are false convictions.

    Obviously I do not want to downplay the situation you're in, but making society better is not done with broad brush strokes. No single person without the respective systemic knowledge will be able to design a solution for this in a matter of months.

  • I mean you are making a fair argument that there's a distinction between your own morals and the binding rules in place. You are free to feel a lot of things that are very bad, but when you act on them you will bump into reality.

    That said I think the original comment was meant to say that the only reason he is here is because society through the legal process has found him to be safe to work there.

    Now to get beyond the feelings against him OP can obviously talk to HR and make sure they get some distance, but if the courts found him not guilty, he deserves to be there. Imagine serving years in prison, working on yourself until the government finally finds you fit enough to enter society again, only for ppl to kick you out of your job again because of something you tried so hard to leave behind. That's why the prison system usually focuses on rehabilitation instead of punishment in most civil countries.

    What I'm saying is, the court's ruling does not have to change the way you feel, but the court also says you have no right to take his job from him unless he commits crimes again. No feeling can measure heavy enough to weigh up against the right for him to live a normal life.

  • Beginner questions: VPN safe enough? How to use all these tools?
  • They appear as torrent peers I think and log when they get a connection to share parts of the file to their system. I assume then they look up the IP and they try to find out if they got an IP from a known VPN provider or a private one. And then they send out the papers.

    Note: In the paper it only says that they have evidence that my PC shared parts of that file 3 times in quick succession and that's it, the rest is my deduction / educated guess.
