Yeah. Data on how the gov’t works. What it does and how it did it.
After he went ahead and changed the way they do it. All in all, quite useless information now.
The only thing Grok will learn is how to impersonate the government better.
Consequences?
Since when?!
Crossbows are clunky and slow operate.
Their plus is that untrained people can use them.
An expert bowman could outmatch a group of 12 crossbowmen.
But if you had a group of 50+ men to arm with bows or crossbows (hundereds and thousands weren’t uncommon historically), a crossbow was more effective because there’s no way in hell you’d get, say, 10.000 expert bowmen. If you were to arm such a legion with bows, you’d most likely suffer more damage from friendly fire than from enemy fire.
You forgot the part where he sues the bank for damages because they were caused in their building. $3 bn.
How come?
You can route traffic without Cloudflare.
You can use CDNs other than Cloudflare’s.
You can use tunneling from other providers.
There are providers of DDOS protection and CAPTCHA other than Cloudflare.
Sure, Cloudflare is probably closest to asingle, integrated solution for the full web delivery stack. It’s also not prohibitively expensive, depending on who needs what.
So the true explanation, as always, is lazyness.
I can’t beleve a Harold lookalike could do such a thing!
Sexism impacted both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, and will be even harder for a GOP candidate to overcome.
What with the hypocrisy and shifting goalposts for MAGA/GOP types, a female Trump 2.0 would seem quite plausible to my eyes. These types don’t care for conserving anything in particular nor for standing up afor any fixed set of values. They are, quite literally going along with the flow.
I’m from Europe and it’s unheard of in my area. Although gas stations here work quite differebtly from US ones.
You drive up to the tanking machine. You take the gun and start tanking. No credit card terminal, no nothing on it. Just a display of liters pumped and amount owed.
When you finish, you enter the station, say the tanking plot number and pay that exact amount.
If you run off… I guess they call the police?
I’ve never had it happen to me, but if you were out of cash and all the cards you had failed for some reason you’d merely exchange contact info and pay in a few days via bank transfer, CC, cash or whatever.
If you don’t, you’ll get a court order within a year to pay the amount + some interest + court fees. That’s enough of an incentive for people to pay, I guess.
If you just tank up and leave, you could get booked for theft. Most places have cameras and cars have licence plates, so finding the offender is quite simple.
Therefore, no preauth.

With 3d you make the model and it’s “naturally” 3d (obviously). If you want to make a 2d sprite have a different perspective, you need to animate (often times draw) it specifically. As they mentioned it before, it’s mostly useful for animations and movement. It may not even be “reusability” as much as “lack of need to think about perspective” or “scalability”.
Another point is that with a 3d engine under low-storage concerns (like say, the N64) you can do a lot of fuckery like having a total of ~10 textures and just apply various color tints (and maybe a blur here and there) to make it seem like there’s more. While 2d engines do support this nowadays, it’s still hard for artists to “fake” such a wide gamut of sprites, just by the nature of the medium. There’s no model to apply a texture to, so you’re limited to having a base sprite and recoloring it.
You could do a modular approach in 2d. For example, a character is built of the body (arms+face), hair, pants, shirt and shoes and change them individually. Same for houses with roofs, doors, windows and walls, etc.
However, as already said, you’re limited by perspective a lot. Each new perspective requires almost double the sprites.
Isn’t this how the gaming boom and bust cycle always worked?
Indie(ish) games boom, AAA studios buy them and make them bust.
The ban doesn’t need a 100% perfect AI screening protocol to be a success.
Just the fact that AI is banned might appeal to a wide demographic. If the ban is actually enforced, even in just 25% of the most blatant cases, it might be just the push a new platform needs to take off.
I meant to say, all things equal, Hitler’s genes didn’t make him do the stuff he did, but rather the environment and opportunity.
If his genes were, say, secretly implanted into a couple’s kid by a rogue IVF clinic employee and he got raised as a ‘normal’ kid, he’d probably not differentiate much. Even if his ‘identity’ got leaked after 20-30 years, I’d like to believe “Hitler’s 2nd coming” would not become a neo-nazi in over 50% of cases. This was the hypothetical playing in my mind. Yours is/was different. Being raised as the natural heir and successor of the great Aryan German Reich would likewise probably work on the holder of any gene sequence.
It’s only 2025 and we’re back in the thirties?
Clearly, that will have to wait another four-ish years!
Tbh a Hitler clone may choose to live a ‘normal’ life in this timeline.
Yeah, that’s not it.
There’s this thing known as consent and purpose. For a GDPR violation, you need to lack either.
When your job has a noticeboard of names, emails and birthdays, they probably got your consent to post it up there. They didn’t get consent to post it onto Facebook.
Yeah, sharing a photo can be a GDPR violation. Because you need to prevent unneccessary processing of data. Like what Facebook does. That’s why most places require you to sign a waiver to allow photos and similar stuff being posted online.
It can be a lot of work. But so is writing a contract. You can’t just do some stuff willy-nilly, and for a good reason.
That being said, the GDPR is mostly unenforced. What it means in practice is “don’t ask, don’t tell”. Meaning, if you keep the info you do have under wraps, you should be fine. Just don’t go whoring your customers’/employees’ info out to your 18 356 “data partners”. Bonus points for having an “Accept All” and “More Options” button, but no “Reject All”.
1st prize for those whose “Reject All” doesn’t encompass “legitimate interest”.
All so businesses and companies can increase productivity, reduce staff, and then turn around and increase prices to customers.
As if. The only thing AI is to businesses is a lost bet. And they don’t like losing. So they’re betting even more, hoping some shiny “AGI” starts existing if they throw enough money into wasting other resources onto the AI bandwagon.
Playing devil’s advocate here a bit, but
This is a good way to test the water. If they give a nonsense response, then what use would it be to do the same thing for somethijg there’s an even greater problem?
The US is sinking into fascism at an alarming rate, and many other “leaders” are taking inspiration - all over the world, including Europe.
Signing an online petition with your name and ID is a great way of saying “I’m ripe for the disappearing”. Just look at what happened to Charlie Kirk “critics”.
