I don't know the application, but just guessing that you don't need to compare an entire full-resolution camera image, but perhaps some smaller representation like an embedding space or pieces of the image

Cultures that have many offspring usually care less about animal welfare (human and non-human) than those that have less offspring.

Cultures that have many offspring usually become the dominant culture of future generations.

Unless something catastrophic happens, I don't see how you can be right and I can be wrong.

The same applied to humans before it did to non-human animals. We are prescribing our worldview of "safe" predictable lives to them, just as was done to us.

I find google searches distracting, I can only imagine what an AI chat must be like. I use a flip phone.

Why do they have a young population? What happens to the old people who live in those countries? Why would that not happen in the receiving countries if enough people are imported?

> This technology gives the kids a lot more freedom than a pre-packaged asset library, and can encourage more engagement with the course content, leading to more people interested in creative-employing pursuits.

This is your opinion. I don't see how these statements connect to each other.

You might have heard this: it's helpful to strive to be someone only a few years ahead of you. Similar to this, we give calculators to high-schoolers and not 3rd graders. Wolfram-Alpha is similarly at too high a level for most undergraduate students.

Following this, giving an image generator to kids will kill their creativity in the same way that a tall tree blocks upcoming sprouts from the sun. It will lead to less engagement, to dependence, to consumerism.

Scams beget more scams

An easy way to make this great tool twice as good: Allow inverted selections.

I don't want to live near sketchy storefronts, and neither do other people less honest than myself.

what about when someone provides long-term value? They would be replaced by a short-term thinking corp (namely, all of them) for providing less value than an alternative with it's value purely in the short-term.

We are accelerating by preferring short-term gains. Like a fire becoming an explosion, that's modern society. Corps now throw the future under the bus for a slight boost in short-term value.

> Except then some years later some assholes point out that mortality didn't actually drop in that targeted population. All that happened is the pathogen mutated to the point neither the test nor the immune system recognize it

Seems the incentives are such that you would want to make a virus PCR test using a narrow range of epitopes that you were targeting with the vaccine. That way, if/when you get breakthrough infections you can just say "well I don't see any virus!"

See bug, create unit test, fix unit test, no more bug. User complains bug still happens, you ignore because your unit tests still pass.
