34·16 days agoDidn’t know it was that easy to just demolish a historical building. And not only a historical buidling, but the symbolic seat of power of a nation.
Is he gonna tear down the Lincoln statue next and replace it with his own?
121·1 month agoDisinformation. Misinformation is when it’s unintentional.
Did you even read the article you linked? It literally argues against your point.
The literal first sentence of the article is:
Contrary to myth, the sale of Ben & Jerry’s to corporate giant Unilever wasn’t legally required.
And further down:
This article aims to dispel the idée fixe that corporate law compelled Ben & Jerry’s directors to accept Unilever’s rich offer, overwhelming Cohen and Greenfield’s dogged efforts to maintain the company’s social mission and independence.
Yet in the end, Ben & Jerry’s directors chose to accept a generous offer, even at a cost to the social mission, rather than allow the company’s defenses to be tested. Anti-takeover protections are only as effective as the people positioned to use them.
This feels like PR bullshit to make people feel like AI isn’t all that bad. Assuming what they’re releasing is even true. Not like cigarette, oil, or sugar companies ever lied or anything and put out false studies and misleading data.
However, there are still details that the company isn’t sharing in this report. One major question mark is the total number of queries that Gemini gets each day, which would allow estimates of the AI tool’s total energy demand.
Why wouldn’t they release this. Even if each query uses minimal energy, but there are countless of them a day, it would mean a huge use of energy.
Which is probably what’s happening and why they’re not releasing that number.

From the article:
and rather than contract a studio of visual effects artists to create the footage, Netflix used generative AI to create it.
Yeah, it sure freed that VFX team from getting paying jobs.
See, human beings are really a lot of tubes. And all living creatures are just tubes. And these tubes have to put things in at one end and let it out at the other.
Then they get clever about it and they develop nerve ganglia on one end of the tube—the eating end—called a head. And that’s got eyes in it, it’s got ears in it, it’s got little organs—antennae and things like this—and that helps you to find things to put in one end so that you can let them out the other.
Well, while you’re doing this, you see, the stuff going through wears the tube out. And so that the show can go on the tubes have complicated ways of making other tubes, who go on doing the same thing. In at one end, out the other. And they say, “Well, that’s terribly serious! That’s awfully important; we’ve got to keep on doing this.”

By age 23, 49 percent of black males, 44 percent of Hispanic males and 38 percent of white males have been arrested.
It sucks that I find myself questioning if this is AI.
Can’t even enjoy cute puppies anymore without questioning reality.
Fuck the money. Save the bunny.
The whole body doesn’t match. Those must be some stupid-ass aliens.
They’re already at citizens. They wanna ship them to El Salvador. You gotta keep up!!
If you’re looking for a serious answer, not at all. Snacking all day is the opposite of fasting. Just because it’s small doesn’t mean it’s not food.
If he actually didn’t eat all day and then had a huge meal at night, that would be it. That would also be called OMAD (one meal a day), which is a type of intermittent fasting.

Historically they are a utility breed used for their fur and meat. In the modern day, they are no longer commonly raised for meat, due to their slow growth and very large bones, and are raised for exhibition at rabbit shows. They are often kept as pets as they are known for being docile and patient when being handled.
It’s like dogs. Different breeds. Some dogs have had their hunting instincts bred out of them.
