The cost to go with a movie with one friend is around $30-35 where I live. This assumes buying no concessions.

The cost to buy that movie on a physical format (assuming it releases on one) is $20-30 depending on whether that format is DVD or Blu-Ray.

A lot of folks right now could not afford either option. But even for those who can, the math doesn’t math on movie theaters.

I love this. Hit me in the right spot. Thanks.

Guillotines. Invest now before it’s too late!

Even the headline is wrong. Jobs have already started disappearing due to AI.

Jellyfin has definitely gotten leaps and bounds better in the last 4 years.

I pressed it. Just pressed it again. Turns out it doesn’t show up on Lemmy. Lol

This is the best response on here.

…and holy fuck, what a great game.

Yeah OK, I just had to read that twice to see you’re right.

The title is ambiguous (or perhaps vague, more accurately).

“doesn’t let me use my 32 char password” can be interpreted as:

• it does not allow passwords of 32 characters in length, regardless of composition

• it does allow passwords of 32 characters in length, which should be sufficient with or without special characters

In one reading, the special character requirement is the issue. In the other, the length.

Yay for English.

Incorrect. I get down with the sickness or with my bad self.

Remember this the next time some politician says we don’t have money for services that would actually help US citizens.

Not that it’ll make a difference, but at least you’ll know you were right as the world burns down around you.

iyes :wq

Trump has been President for 6 of the last 10 years.

I even use a fan in the winter. I like cold air on the outside and warm air on the inside. More than that, something about the wind moving past my head is soothing.

Yeah, this is a major issue across the board. For a wide variety of products, if they clearly marked which were AI generated, then the sales would likely speak for themselves.

But companies don’t really want to do this. They want to mix AI slop in with regular products, so that over time, the average consumer dumbs down enough to no longer know the difference. Then they just generate every product ever and number go up.

This still ignores the fact that no one will have money to put into the system from the bottom (which is the only way it flows in an economy), but here we are.

That’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be better since it’s 100% free. It could be considerably worse and still be the better choice for the price.

The fact that it’s mostly on par is absolute gravy.

You’ve hit the nail on the head.

Companies pushing for AI are playing a short game, not a long game. They have not considered the consequences of this course after a short term return (which may not materialize anyway).

The whole AI debacle is a great example of why it’s bad to have engineering developments without the philosophical conversations. We need the A in STEAM to tell the E’s when they’re opening Pandora’s Box.

You can change your name to whatever you want. Imagine if your last name were Epstein, or Trump. No one would question your motivation.

This is a bit of an oversimplification.

If in the US, you can generally change your name at whim, usually after a petition and fee. But it depends on your state. Some states require a hearing to do a name change. Some require a publication, and some will only allow the change after a waiting period.

All states will generally deny name change requests which are deemed to be fraudulent (details of that depend on state), to avoid debt, or to be harmful/hateful to others. Sometimes the definitions of these terms is not terribly clear, in which case the state can simply deny it with vague reasoning.

Edit: and apologies if this isn’t in the US. I’m not familiar with other systems.

+1 for heliboard.

GBoard has good recognition, but I’d rather my keyboard didn’t just siphon off whatever I type.

No no, real numbers would hurt the bottom line. AI relies on great expectations and overly trusting techbros.

Same. Chalk one up for good conversation on Lemmy.
