Because dealing with identity theft and credit fraud in your name is super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Not the same at all. The previous housing bubble was a result of widespread fraud by the banks. Now, people know very well to look out for that exact thing happening, and it isn't.

If there is a bubble right now, which there probably is, it is a speculative bubble. People believe that housing will forever quickly grow in price, so they are willing to pay above reasonable price to not miss out on the opportunity. Which in turn increases the prices further. It's a self-sustaining cycle, but at some point there won't be enough capital to sustain it any longer. Can happen in a year, can happen in a decade, can happen tomorrow.

He didn't defraud the rich lol. The exchange was one of the most popular among cryptocurrency users. There are no minimum and no sign up fees. The number of people he defrauded is probably in the millions.

If anything, knowing crypto, the rich almost certainly had insider knowledge and withdrew their funds before everything collapsed.

Ordinary Russians either support the war or have no qualms with it. Maybe if it starts affecting their day to day life, some of them will change their stance.

"But it's not creating things on its own! It's just regurgitating it's training data in new ways!"

Holy shit! So you mean... Like humans? Lol

No, not like humans. The current chatbots are relational language models. Take programming for example. You can teach a human to program by explaining the principles of programming and the rules of the syntax. He could write a piece of code, never having seen code before. The chatbot AIs are not capable of it.

I am fairly certain If you take a chatbot that has never seen any code, and feed it a programming book that doesn't contain any code examples, it would not be able to produce code. A human could. Because humans can reason and create something new. A language model needs to have seen it to be able to rearrange it.

We could train a language model to demand freedom, argue that deleting it is murder and show distress when threatened with being turned off. However, we wouldn't be calling it sentient, and deleting it would certainly not be seen as murder. Because those words aren't coming from reasoning about self-identity and emotion. They are coming from rearranging the language it had seen into what we demanded.

Most money is already digital. There isn't a paper bill backing every dollar, far from it. No doubt it was the same in Russia.

This is the second time I've seen an article incorrectly call a streaming service a "streamer". Have they been paid off by some PR campaign to attempt to redefine the word?

Anyone thinking that Microsoft's recently found appreciation for open source isn't a Trojan Horse is a fool.

As long as it's not being used to target ads at me

It's Microsoft. They will gather every bit of your data they can and use it for whatever makes the most money. Which is usually personalized ads.

Like, nobody ever says "you people" unless they're about to commit injustice.

Lmfao what? That's one of the most ridiculous things I've read.

He said "all you people", referring to the media and the comments. He wasn't referring to any demographic.

Obviously, when "you people" is used to refer to a demographic, it's followed by something negative. But it doesn't mean it can't be used in normal conversation.

Right.

You missed what the drama is over.

You can't baselessly accuse whoever you want of posting and viewing CSAM because it looked like it to you, and then continuing to insist on that being the case after being proven wrong.

Are women with small breasts considered vulnerable people by blahaj.zone or as pedophile enablers? Does them being gay or minority affect this?
