Plenty of storage sheds... With simple roofs and no major obstructions... But they're largely unused, too.

You're storage will likely be 60% efficient... a start, but too inefficient to be a reliable backup. Why not use wind to do this when demand isn't near full production?

There's other storage methods, but they don't contradict your point.. they're all too expensive to make solar the go-to at short distances.

Somebody please try, human mammalian genetic material excretors and receptacles.

Show me a hot Asian not his stepmother stuck in a washing machine

you don't need lithium batteries for batteries that stay in place since their weight would be irrelevant. You can use materials more conducive for the application either commercial or home use.

Also we already have a distributed grid... our current (pun) one.

Also there is already regulation in place for power cut offs for power generation feed back and is not that expensive.

Industry is very aware of the need to move away from lithium ion for in place electricity storage and is spending billions on research with some alternatives already being built.

That's almost 450 miles wide and deep. A single strand of 0000 AWG wire that stretches 450 miles at $10.00 per ft. would cost almost 24 million dollars. I just can't see how that is feasible.

I actually saw one in the wild a week or two ago.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web. Fully cached AMP pages (like the one you shared), are especially problematic.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/postmedia-signs-deal-with-google-to-be-compensated-for-news-articles

I'll just leave this here https://www.google.com/amp/s/nationalpost.com/news/canada/postmedia-signs-deal-with-google-to-be-compensated-for-news-articles/wcm/4ce63a5b-1f3e-4b97-ab5b-54be20e00613/amp/

I mean, I write over 60k words a week on an average using GPT/You.com already. A dedicated staff of people could fill entire Wikipedia pages with curated content for a game in no time at all.

If you're familiar with W++ and basic storyboarding you can easily create dozens of unique characters each day too. I personally use python lists and I have a prompt that acts as two “players” then I give GPT a rough idea of the scene and see where things go.

You can create dynamic personalities, and writing styles for each character as well as add additional lore by creating new items in the python list.

Although, my fear is censorship in the west. It seems like that's the current play most of these companies want to take. So I'm hoping China grows a pair and offers unrestricted Ai via Tencent. I'd gladly give them my logs/prompts in exchange for unbridled power.

I could be wrong but I believe it was human trafficking in the sense he was withholding his camgirls’ passports nd manipulating them. But they were ultimately Camgirls and not prostitutes - this is an industry AI can and probably should replace

Anyway fuck I never want to hear about that irrelevant moron again

I wonder how the muskrats would cope with Tesla fumbling a decade long technology and presence lead.

Yeah AIs gonna be a very fun distraction while society disintegrates. Genuinely. Internet’s been endlessly fun too.

I’ve been laughing my ass off at these deepfake+AI impersonations of politicians and streamers arguing with each other these last few weeks

What if during the day time the grid powers pumps to fill damns?

I would send you a UDP joke but you might not get it.

K. But..... why? Where's the ethical line, here?

A lot of people are scared about the repercussions, but personally I'm incredibly excited. Yeah, there are going to be bad actors that use it maliciously. There's no way to stop that; even if it takes a large company to run a large model that can restrict biases and such right now, a few years from now anyone will be able to do it on their own PC in 2 seconds.

But the beneficial uses? Lordy. Even skipping over the basic stuff like photoreal pictures/videos, once we can combine all of them is going to be amazing. Imagine an RPG game where all of the dialogue, quests, etc. are crafted procedurally. "Completing" the game won't happen in a week at that point since you could have literally thousands of different quests with procedurally generated dialogue, storylines, and NPCs. You may not even be able to "complete" it at all.

On the extreme end, I see an entire world (see: MMORPG) being created by AI before being fleshed out/detailed by humans with a few hand-crafted elements for details the devs specifically want. Characters/art being generated by AI. Dialogue/writing elements being generated by language models. Entire libraries of AI-generated books based on the in-game world's history. Or even skip those last few things and just give a baseline world and let it run for 1,000 years in-game time to see what comes up, i.e. let the world detail itself. Bards at the local town tavern playing AI-generated music. The biggest thing stopping this from happening right now, I think, is finding a way to make all of these work together in a coherent way. Toss in an AI that knows how to code/optimize stuff and it's even better.

I think you are drawing a distinction without a difference to my point immediately above. I believe Google has some responsibility for the end-result of providing the service to attack these women. shrug others apparently don't.

Still, any criticism of the God of the holy internets is always risky on reddit, hence the downvotes...

I did. And the initial talk of 40-50k was over 70k in seconds. I wasn’t detailed enough in my response. How is this Ford cost savings going to reflect in my price. I’d really like to replace my 06 F150 and my 06 Sienna with what seemed like literally the perfect vehicle.

> market share theft attempt.

Musk fanboys are calling corporations competing for market share, theft?!

The mental gymnastics are real!

I don't think this is ever going to be a thing. All it takes is one, just one person to generate underage person using your site and you are in such deep fucking trouble.

Pornhub got into trouble before because of potential CP. I don't think they want to touch that hornets' nest for a while.

 

Edit: I also think that the fear of CP is behind this ban from midjourneys part as well. The complete removal of NSFW from Stable Diffusion models was because of CP fears and the creators went into this lengthy rant on how you can't have model that can do NSFW and also kids or else... so they removed the NSFW.
