there's always the one dude who tries to stop it with his hand.

glad to see russia's military is still the world's best. I see why they called NK to help.

I just checked, the credentials are still good.

the facts are that the federal lawsuit didn't go in their favor until a tribe the federal government signed a treaty with joined it. why do white people have to take everything minorities accomplish and make it their own by distorting the facts?

you're being way too pessimistic about this. governments have been trying to block access to information online for decades, and it's never been successful. even if a future like you imagine comes to pass, VPNs don't need to be commercial, and they can also be peer-to-peer. if it gets anywhere as bad you think it will, we'll see a wider adoption of tech like I2P and local mesh networks, or people running their own shadow VPNs with their friends. it's one thing for them to go after mullvad or proton or whatever big VPN you like, but it's another thing entirely to squash private VPNs that people can already put up with very little effort. especially since they would have no idea they even exist.

you should absolutely fight censorship like this, but don't ever think that them passing legislation is the end of the fight. it's only the beginning, and there are millions more of us than there are of them.

I'm talking about what the linked article says.

oh no!

anyway.

the title should be edited to say NSFL.

I love to see it

I wouldn't say people are incapable of noticing the difference. most people just don't care as much as a very vocal minority of the population seems to. especially people watching shorts. nobody watching shorts is looking for quality, they're looking for short videos that don't outlast their attention span. it doesn't matter whether or not something is AI, all that matters is it engages them for ten seconds or so till they scroll to the next short, and keeps the dopamine flowing.

do you always get like this when people agree with you?

the judge ordered them to remove all that stuff so that the tribe could access sites sacred to them. were the other groups also seeking access to sacred Miccosukee sites?

why shit on native americans just to make white people feel good about participating?

right, which is literally what I said.

well, is it still working?

It does not support dual boot on a single drive.

this is not true, but they don't recommend it. they provide instructions for single-drive dual boot on the website.

there might be a few youtubers or purists who would pay to opt out of something like that, but the average uploader isn't gonna give two shits about enhancements youtube makes. especially when it took this long for a few people to even notice.

a typical CPU in a phone would do just fine. AI effects in photo and video started coming out in phones before new phones started having dedicated hardware to accelerate it. phones have been doing stuff as intensive as that for years. for example, iPhones have been able to make complex and precise full scale textured replicas of real world environments that you can then import into Blender using their lidar capabilities for years. that's quite a bit more intensive of a process than using AI to edit a video.

and as for a PC, there isn't anything you can do to edit a video using AI that a PC CPU would not be able to handle. if a 10 year old laptop can generate video out of thin air using genAI, then applying a sharpening effect would be a piece of cake. hell, I've done stable diffusion on a laptop with just 4GB of VRAM. it's quite a bit slower than with a faster PC, but certainly doable.

it wouldn't need dedicated hardware, it would just be slower on phones without that hardware. there's nothing that AI does that can't be done on any phone or PC.

same thing with ray tracing, it's technically possible on cards that aren't a part of the RTX line, they just can't do it as fast as an RTX card (per NVIDIA).

I don't pay for a lot of services I couldn't do for myself.

american stupidity.
