Agreed. I hope more people leave that dumpster fire.

I'm not the person you were replying to but maybe the limit of using the websites like the ones I posted is you can't reuse the same face (at least not than I'm aware of).

So if you are in the UK and you upload 2 selfies from the site and the facial recognition pattern is different from each other, then the system which Reddit is using might reject it.

This is only a guess though.

There's a bunch of AI face generating pictures. I wonder if you can just use those. Or maybe this is just to create a new law to arrest people of uploading fake pictures...

You are correct. AI can give an a completely different answer than its source and they can just blame it on AI. This is true but Google has sway the results given depending on the individual. Obama talks about this and how it contributes to the extreme divide of people of the US.

It steals content from creators while being worse for the environment at the same time. Not the same thing, it is worse.

I worked in education in computer science and basic usage in nearly every age group. When you realize how bad people are at using search engines, you can see why people think they accomplished something using AI. It's like giving a child a calculator saying he can do math now.

Creating search prompts itself is a skill. You wouldn't think so until trying to teach some one logic through search prompts. It is hell, literally my hell. Some people just don't get it like 0 percent.

Differentiating what is a good source and what is a bad source is an even harder skill. People will believe what they want to believe. Google search adapts to the bias of individuals because it keeps people searching. This is why, even though it isn't perfect, engines like duckduckgo are important.

That's why the news that Grok is racist is true. The US government will be even more systematically racist now.

I commented a user's use of "rare". Then you did the same to my comment.

I didn't think how the initial poster use of the word "rare" meant to describe "a matter of popular practice, not difficulty." So I replied back to you.

When someone says "rare operating system", the word "rare" describes "operating system".

Here is the statement again:

Normal people either can’t afford these devices or don’t have time for all the hassle of installing and using a rare operating system on a phone.

In your sentence, "rare" is used to describe "it", a pronoun, which refers to the action "to walk around with an actual tinfoil hat".

Umm... I don't think that's right. I don't think you could ever buy a phone from Google with GrapheneOS.

Minimum wage in Spain is €1,300 per month. A Pixel 9a is under $500 and under €550 and currently on sale for $449 and €500. A couple of hundred can get you a Pixel 9. What exactly is a not obscenely price for a flagship phone to you?

And I don't even understand your second comment. People spend over an hour a day on social media alone.

So the normal person in Spain could buy this phone and the normal person in Spain does have the time to figure out how to install a "rare" operating system. A "rare" operating system that's free and easily copied.

Because people don't want to pay for shit content. Let's take pirating out of the equation. If I read a book I borrowed and I really like it, I would buy. If the content was trash then I wouldn't. Same goes if I watch a movie, listen to an album, or eat a microwavable burrito at a friend's or family member's house.

They are banking on the AI will eventually be smart enough that it will replace the workers that fed it.
