The title alone give me chills. Software evolution follows the means, not the need. Nowadays we make laggy systems with 1000x the available computation we had twenty years ago.
I want something reliable and fast before having something fancy. I want control over my stuff instead of a company telling me what to install and what not to. I want to feel that I own my stuff, not that I'm using someone else's hardware.

…And I think all of those can be considered forms of "ambition".
Nowadays there's a lot of Muslims practicing their faith very differently from what most do. They might drink or smoke, and live a more "flexible" version, their own version of their own faith.
Even if, in fine, you are right despite the downvotes. Islam is also a political and legal system that cannot cohabit with another system (no system can cohabit with another one, you can't have a democracy and a dictature at the same place)

How much of an aversion to objective reality is required to believe this, as you’ve worded it?
As I mentioned in the other comment, Islam the faith and Islam the political system are largely different. Most Muslims (myself included) know a lot about the faith but know nothing about the jurisprudence. So I agree that Islamic jurisprudence is unlikely able to cohabit with American democracy, its pointless to talk about because no Muslim running for public office is trying to introduce such concepts into American politics.
If they're not trying, it's because it would fail due to lack of "faithist" Muslims to support them. Islamist politicians do push for that when they have popular support, and they do have popular support in Muslim majority countries, as well as local areas in other countries. The average Pakistani might not know much about that jurisprudence thing, but the law still prohibits him from having gay sex or insulting Mohammed.
Where are all the secular Muslim countries? Turkey? Why are they so few and so weakly secular?
This might be a hot-take, but unfortunately here using AI for your paper was already a bad decision at first.
It doesn't take OpenAI's responsibilities away but I guess the right way is to never feed of use any AI around unpublished content, at the known cost to see it spread around.
As one said, OpenAO is like this untrustworthy colleague that knows everything about everyone at work: the less you tell him the better.
Firefox is getting milked for profit by a few individuals. User data collection, personalized ads and such for profit, while the CEO's paycheck exploded in 15 years.
It's almost as if there is a global plan to deanonymise everyone online, and for governments and corporations to have total awareness and control of everyone's actions.
This has been going on in full force since the GWB admin in response and using the excuse of the terroristic attacks.
They called it total information awareness. They pretended to bury it. All they did was hide their intentions from the public. They even spied on Congress and they spied on presidential candidates. If they had no decorum for those folks imagine what they are willing to do to collect information on the public.
this should realy be one of those accross the aisles things. Well it kinda is, across both sides of the political spectrum there is for some fucking reason a huge support for this. I am so pissed.
you know what I am slowly starting to feel the conspiracy theorists, just its not wack child eating lizardman but Super Rich people wanting back a Feudalist Society.
Also check the agenda 2030. The European digital wallet. The cyberscore.
All those elements together makes a digital Europe (and more) where there's no cash anymore, where your website has to be compliant to be working with EU's ID and payments systems.
It's going to be all centralised and about subscriptions, no matter if it's about your electricity bill or your groceries.
That article says that most image generators had been over-shadowed by gpt.
Yet when I ask some simple tasks to it, like doing a 16:9 picture sized image instead of a square one, it ends up doing a 16:9 on a white background that matches a square.
When I ask it to make it with text, then on the second request to redo while changing just a certain visual element, it ends up breaking the previously asked text.
It's getting more good at flattering people and telling them how clever and right they are than actually doing the task.
