Why else will someone follow someone else around in a forum for their attention? It's kinda sad tbh. Maybe you're lonely, so I'll stop making fun of your speech patterns like "why would I here"... (Post deleted by SandeeLgs ) WHlSKY: Quick question to Russian supporters, what are your thoughts on the following: ".A Ukrainian ombudsman described the scale of torture in the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson as being "horrific." Dmytro Lubynets, Ukrainian parliament commissioner for human rights, said he had "not seen a scale like it before," adding that the "scale [of abuse] is just horrific." Residents in region's capital lived under Russian occupation for eight months before Russian troops announced they were retreating a little more than a week ago. Ukrainian forces have since taken control of Kherson city and several towns and villages in the region. Lubynets said that Ukrainian authorities had found "torture chambers" in Kherson..."

And then they will follow up by saying "what about all the crime in Chicago." And will end off with "Europe will freeze to death this winter without Russian natural gas." Mark my words. I know them pretty well. WHlSKY: Freedomfirst, I agree. It's a shame that even if they went to those places and experienced it first hand they'll mentally block it off as "oh not Putin". It's insane.  ghostgeek: Imagine: You get pulled over for rolling through a stop sign, but instead of a police officer tapping your window, you see a drone hovering beside you. “Hold your license and registration up to the camera, and do not make any furtive movements,” says a voice. “Furtive movements?” you think while eyeing the rectangular box on the drone’s underside, which you have heard contains an explosive charge large enough to kill you. If you think that’s an inevitable future, it isn’t just because of movies like “RoboCop.” In the real world, police forces have enthusiastically embraced all manner of technological means of both surveillance and violence. These technologies are almost inevitably abused, and to believe police wouldn’t use such technology in troubling ways seems naive. Which is why it’s so important that the San Francisco Board of Supervisors decided this week to authorize the city’s police to use robots to kill when they decide circumstances warrant it. There was one notable instance, in Dallas in 2016, when police strapped explosives to a robot and used it to kill a suspect. But now that San Francisco has an official policy on the technique, many more police departments are likely to develop their own policies — and to start obtaining equipment necessary to kill people remotely.

They’re just talking about attaching explosives to them, for something like a hostage situation. An SFPD spokesperson says such robots will be reserved for “extreme circumstances to save or prevent further loss of innocent lives.” [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/12/02/san-francisco-police-killer-robots/ ] ghostgeek: Since releasing their debut single I'm Real in 2021, K-pop girl group Eternity have racked up millions of views online. They sing, dance and interact with their fans just like any other band. In fact, there's mainly one big difference between them and any other pop group you might know - all 11 members are virtual characters. Non-humans, hyper-real avatars made with artificial intelligence. "The business we are making with Eternity is a new business. I think it's a new genre," says Park Jieun, the woman behind Eternity. "The advantage of having virtual artists is that, while K-pop stars often struggle with physical limitations, or even mental distress because they are human beings, virtual artists can be free from these." The cultural tidal wave of Korean pop has become a multibillion-dollar force over the last decade. With its catchy tunes, high-tech production and slinky dance routines, K-pop has smashed into the global mainstream, becoming one of South Korea's most lucrative and influential exports. But the top K-pop stars, their legions of loyal fans, and the business-owners looking to capitalise on their success are all looking to the future. With the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI), deepfake and avatar technologies, these pop idols are taking their fame into a whole new dimension.

Now ChatGPT appears ready to upend the staid book industry as would-be novelists and self-help gurus looking to make a quick buck are turning to the software to help create bot-made e-books and publish them through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing arm. Illustrated children’s books are a favorite for such first-time authors. On YouTube, TikTok and Reddit hundreds of tutorials have spring up, demonstrating how to make a book in just a few hours. Subjects include get-rich-quick schemes, dieting advice, software coding tips and recipes. “This is something we really need to be worried about, these books will flood the market and a lot of authors are going to be out of work,” said Mary Rasenberger, executive director of writers’ group the Authors Guild. Ghostwriting - by humans - has a long tradition, she said, but the ability to automate through AI could turn book writing from a craft into a commodity. “There needs to be transparency from the authors and the platforms about how these books are created or you’re going to end up with a lot of low-quality books,” she said. One author, who goes by Frank White, showed in a YouTube video how in less than a day he created a 119-page novella called “Galactic Pimp: Vol. 1” about alien factions in a far-off galaxy warring over a human-staffed brothel. The book can be had for just $1 on Amazon’s Kindle e-book store. In the video, White says anyone with the wherewithal and time could create 300 such books a year, all using AI.
