Those hormones affect fat distribution, which can make someone appear younger.

It already existed. They called it Bebo before it went Bebust.

Its also terrible for originality. Itcan create a basic template, but that is all it will be. If you want to make music for your game, and you have a specific kind of theme and instrument in mind, you’d be hard-pressed getting that right with generative AI.

Just look at what happened during COVID.

All the jobs marked as “essential” back then would probably be a solid proportion of the grease of society. People would riot if they suddenly stopped existing.

Big W sells dishwashers? I’ve never seen one when I’ve popped in.

You’ve never heard men say “dude, just suck it up and get over it already. Don’t be a wuss.” about similar issues to other men?

The advertising companies would riot if they did count as impressions, so Facebook would either not count them as such, or hold off on them for that reason.

Ah yes, I too, program in the Language programming language

Flying drones are hugely noisy, which might make them unsuitable.

TLDR || FO ?

That’s what happens when your computer designers seem to have a microtape loose, and decide that connecting the multi-exawatt power system directly to all the powered systems is a good idea.

Prssumably the same people who build a malevolent AI that takes over the ship every few decades, or makes it so that starships explode if they bonk into anything hard enough.

But they were restricted to Warp 5 after the revelation, with exception for emergencies, so presumably there was measurable impact past that.

At the same time, we see a lot that rather than being the emotionless purely logic-driven creatures that they claim to be, Vulcans are still emotional, often making emotional decisions by pretending that it would be more logical to do one thing than another.

Sarek still wound up with Amanda, and cared for her, even if he went with the emotionless mask.

If Uhura’s theorizing was correct, an emotionless Spock would have probably been involved in the ensemble songs the same as always, but would by definition be incapable of experiencing “emotions […] so heightened that words won’t suffice”. So it is unlikely that he would have found himself belting out a solo about anything.

Although by that logic, even if Spock was emotionless, he just had to reach a point where words were no longer sufficient in conveying the meaning that he wished, and as such, he may still have sung a solo.

Ease of installation/use, I think, is the main big one, and one of the biggest obstacles.

People who want to give self-hosting a try aren’t going to be particularly fond of having to jump through a whole bunch of different configs, and manually set everything up.

They want something that they can just set up and go, without having to deal with server hosting, services, and all of that. Something you can just run on your computer, leave it be, and use it with relatively little fuss.

Second to that, would definitely be a case of better documentation/screenshots. A lot of self-hosted things, like Lemmy, didn’t provide much documentation of what the actual user side of it does, only what you need to do to set it up, which isn’t going to make me want to use the software, if I have no idea what it’s supposed to do, and how it compares to other things that do the same.

If the insurance company declines a patient’s treatment, citing that they believe it to be unnecessary, against the recommendations of their healthcare provider, is that a non-medical decision, then?

Myopia (shortsightedness) is a fairly big one.

The cure’s been so ingrained that the anti-medicine/eugenics people don’t think about their own glasses when posting.

You can just go get your eyes tested, some glasses fitted, and you’re done. Repeat if it gets worse.

If you want something more permanent, you can get someone to slice open your eye, blast it a bit with a laser, and in theory, you would be completely cured, as if you never needed glasses.

Even with other forms of generative AI, there are very few notable uses for it that isn’t just a gimmick/having fun with it, and not in a way achievable via other means.

Being able to add a thing to a photo is neat, but also questionably useful, when it is also doable with a few minutes of Photoshop.

I’ve a friend who claims it can be useful for scripts and quick data processing, but I’ve personally not had that experience when giving it a spin.

That was the intended audience for the comic at the time, though.

CAD was very much immature nerd humour (as was the style at the time), and it’d be inevitable that a sudden tonal whiplash to a serious tragedy around a miscarriage, out of seeming nowhere, would be received poorly.

Because chronic diseases are difficult to cure? A solid portion, like diabetes, or cancer, are a whole host of different causes in a costume.

Anything that can be easily cured/trivially managed, or outright prevented isn’t considered a chronic disease any more. Beri-beri and Scurvy are non-issues today. Diabetes and AIDS aren’t the death sentences they used to be.

Medical research being deliberately gatekept because a cure would be unprofitable is conspiratorial thinking, and isn’t really reflective of reality.

A single dose cure for a chronic illness would be huge, and a lot of places would throw money at one if it existed, even if the cost was several orders of magnitude higher. No insurance, public health scheme, nor medical clinic would want a patient to take a constant course of medication, when they could have one, and be done. It’d be better for them, and patient quality of life. Even for the medication companies, they get to be in history books, and can get instant income, where a long term scheme might have patients dropping off for one reason or another.

Nothing would stop someone from using an AI face for it either.
