The whole point of influencers is that you watch someone experience something instead of you.
Either because you can’t afford it, you want to make sure before buying, it’s risky, or you just like experiencing the world through others.
How can possibly AI do any of that?
AI influencers are reshaping social media with digital faces that look real, act consistent, and attract millions of followers.
I sincerely doubt this, unless they count AI followers. Which wouldn’t surprise me.
Historically, the rapes formed the basis of local government in Sussex.
Hmmm, I think I prefer just paying taxes
Ouch, this is going to backfire so much.
Enforcing “unity” by heavy handed laws is a ticking time bomb.
Turns out the real trick for Iran to win is playing mind games with a dementia patient. Incredibly effective.
Well, the full story is a bit more complicated.
Vitaly killed a guy he misguidedly held responsible for the death of his family.
It would have been a story about the futility of revenge if not for what happened after when Vitaly returned home.
bad decisions / mismanagement
Yeah, I’m not very confident that we managed to eliminate mismanagement. It’s a constant threat in any organization. Luckily most companies don’t deal with nuclear materials.
It’s the least bad option for generating the base load. Although properly managed wind or hydro can deliver some, it’s usually not enough.
That being said, I do think some of the fears are justified. It’s about tradeoffs: do you want a low level of constant pollution (coal), or a catastrophic disaster once every 100 years (nuclear). Then there is also the waste, which is “solved” only if you permanently sacrifice some area, and hope geological movements or underground water don’t touch it. So it’s should definitely be an important part of the mix, but the risks shouldn’t be dismissed.
France can serve as a positive example. Imo they are doing energy policy right.
Especially since it’s fundamentally a social activity. Why wouldn’t you consider your presentation if the main part of your hobby is hanging out with other people?
Not really. I do think it’s posible to love multiple people at the same time.
But being partnered on a daily level takes time and effort. Context switching it a huge mental load, especially when combined with emotions.
So - one primary partner for me.
TIL the 6-sided dice with dots was already standardized 2000 years ago
No.
I do think it leaked from a lab in Wuhan, but not that it was on purpose.
Keeping viruses contained is difficult. One slipup, or one incompetent person, and and it’s out.
Mmm the smell of freshly air fried polyester 😋
Most of my after-university friends come from work. If you spend years interacting with the same people, you’ll become friends with some of them at least.
But it also depends a lot on the company/team vibe.
Every 60 seconds in Wyoming a minute passes
According to some versions of the lore, it’s because he wants to corrupt God’s creation out of jealousy. If he couldn’t get it his way, it should all burn.
My favorite part of this post is people from different flavors of Christianity arguing completely different things using the same source.
That’s why they kept it secret. Imagine trying to explain to the faithful that the most holy place of your god is mid.
19th century Austro-Hungarian aristocrats had such a specific vibe. Not necessarily a good vibe, but definitely unique
