I think you're conflating "AI" with media processing. In most photo/video editing software that support it, you can use AI as a tool, but all it's really doing is cutting down on the time it would take to do some tasks manually. That doesn't mean it's "AI" any more than it's "AI" to crop a photo. Even film negatives need to be processed before anyone can see the photo.

I'm not saying AI good or bad, but I think it's disingenuous to say that using AI to say, colour-correct an image or denoise a video, makes that image/video "AI"

The admin at my first job did this but with an excel spreadsheet. They were old school and didn't "trust" DHCP.

Do a search online for paper mache. I think that's what you want.

I noped out of this one when I heard I needed to watch a whole TV show to make sense of it.

Which one? Ms. Marvel? Wanda Vision? Or did you really mean the movie Captain Marvel?

That was true for some of the early projects. I doubt that they actually develop any of their tech from scratch now. It's way easier to just buy it from someone else

The other 5% are less than worthless

Regarding your third paragraph, it's been shown (anecdotally at least) that blocking access to these kinds of sites and fox news does a lot in bringing older, easily manipulated people out of the q anon rabbit hole. It's difficult at first, but with nothing feeding the conspiracy, they go back to normal eventually.

"The Libgen sites deprive plaintiffs and their authors of income from their creative works, devalue the textbook market and plaintiffs’ works, and may cause plaintiffs to cease publishing certain works," the complaint says.

The plaintiffs artificially inflate textbook prices so it all balances out.

Planes are so unreliable nowadays.

Wow there was absolutely no way anyone could have even guessed at this possibility.
