War thunder needs to add UFOs, so we all finally get to find out what's going on at area 51

As if it has a setting. You can't turn that feature off.

This is going to be a new sabre rattling technique in the future.

If you don't back down we're going to turn our entire military over to AI and it might do anything.

This is either going to turn out to be nothing or an utter catastrophe and there's no option in between. I suspect most generals in the military are bright enough to not give it control over anything too dangerous though.

Who is making these decisions and what is their come to blood ratio, because I'm reckoning it's fairly high.

Why would it invalidate the licence? They were utterly fine with it up until now so what's changed?

So you can appeal this, but it does not have any effect on anything, so you in fact cannot appeal this.

You all should move to Russia for better quality of life.

You get that we wanted dialogue right? We can all imagine Will Smith in a leather jacket with slow motion bullets moving around him.

Every time someone who is pro AI tries to advocate for it it always comes off as their brain having turned to porridge. You get we can see that image in our minds, we don't need it visualised for us at the expense of half an olympic swimming pool worth of water and at least six trees.

Didn't you do a sci-fi with his kid? I've never seen it and I have no idea what it was about or what it was called but I'm sure it was a sci-fi.

Who, the government Reddit

They were relying on users to click I am definitely over 18. So there is by definition no possible way to know if children's data was being misused except to the extent it obviously was.

Age verification should have been a device side thing. I should be able to set up my kids phone / tablet with their date of birth and if they're not old enough then they can't access certain content. That way the only person who needs to verify the age of someone is me.

My ISP shipped with age restriction on by default, (personally I think that's a stupid default but that's a separate issue), but although annoying it was easy to get rid of because I'm the account holder. I didn't have to scan my ID though.

Anyway we all know this has been nothing to do with kids anyway.

Once the right have managed to get this law passed, they'll go back to not caring about the kids again. It's infuriating now often they get away with this scam.

I was a kid back when most adults thought that computers what operated by tiny pixies and computer mice had three buttons. We had a content filter on the school computers that could be circumvented by not typing www. at the beginning of a URL. I could have seen all sorts of inappropriate content if I had wanted, but I didn't because I was 12 so I just used it to play RuneScape. The kids are alright, it's the adults that are all messed up.

Tech CEOs don't live in the same world as the rest of us. Maybe when the AI bubble pops they'll finally realise that it might be good idea to have some actual humans working in the company C suite. Rather than repeatedly hiring from the same pod person pool of recycled MBA executives.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.
