When google releases something that will make fake photos WAY easier. You should generate one with your heroes and then never use it again because it is evil.

This is a friendly reminder to update your firmware.
Especially if you have D-Link or Asus Router.
And if you have a micro-focus motherboard: you probably need up to update your BIOS as well. Urgently.
Also chrome.
Jesus people take care of your stuff! :) LOLOLOL

I have a theory that PaaS vendors struggle with AI application and adoption because their solution “can do anything”.
Whereas, point solutions that solve specific problems easily find ways to apply and benefit from AI features.
What do you think? Am I off?

NEW: Minnesota just ranked in the top 5 states for quality of life.

I literally did not know a single person in 2002-3 that did not think invading Iraq was *insane* but it is not just that all of Corporate Media supported it, they silenced anyone in Corporate Media opposed to it. So we protested to spread truth and they just did not cover it. I felt so powerless.
