Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

“Obeying the law would hurt me and my enterprise” ought to give away the game here
The Trump administration tells the Supreme Court it can’t be compelled to fully fund SNAP because paying out the money would “irreparably harm” the government, while SNAP beneficiaries … *won’t* be irreparably harmed by going hungry? The balance of equities here is completely upside down.

Ok, annoying but necessary nuance here:
This is AI *upscaling*, not Gen ai. AFAIK, it doesnt scrape media or need data centers. No environmental or ethical concerns as of current info.
HOWEVER, I'd still opt out as it will play havoc with low res. It's like motion smoothing, you dont want it 😅

*End users* can opt out, and will be able to check in the player whether they are watching a real or upscaled video. But I am very curious, if you could put an exact cost on this decision in terms of kWh/atmospheric CO2, what the total would come to.
