There's no such thing as a 10.

Same thing I do, check out Google News the next day to see who won. My beach house doesn't get any broadcast TV reception or cable, so I literally can only watch content delivered over the internet. The only content I actually pay for is Google Plus, so I can't watch the Emmys regardless, and I could care less. I'm sure the good jokes will all be on YouTube.

If you're not planning on having sex with it, then it shouldn't matter!

Wait... are you planning on having sex with it?!?

Can't tell if we should moderate the article as Troll or Flamebait.

Commenters have already pointed out the dishonesty of the prose based on their own published stats.

Yes, I'm enabling the clickbait by commenting.

Female porn stars get paid ten times as much as male porns stars! That's so unfair! I feel so discriminated against!

Did you see the pictures of the AIs in the study?

What's with that lighting? They didn't adjust for the fact that the woman looks slightly more like a serial killer, with a wrinkled skirt pulled up to her ribcage. I haven't seen graphics that bad since Metaverse. The study noticed it, but didn't adjust for it. Relevant quote:

Because the graphics were terrible.

Have been a C programmer for 40 years, I am 100% in favor of rewriting all of Linux in Rust. Just sayin'. Once you get over the very frustrating learning curve, you realize it's the best language available for most problem sets.

Are the JPEG XL encoding and decoding algorithms encumbered by any patents, or can anyone use them for free?

According ot George Carlin, God put us here on this Earth because it lacked plastic. We have risen to the task and created massive amounts of plastic! Praise be!

The fact is, we are all wired to judge people by their appearance, and certainly race and gender do play into that implicit bias. What saddens me most is that even black people judge other black people as being more of a threat.

Hey! Don't call my sexbot a "clanker"! She hates it when you do that!

JPEG-XL is a good format but I just realized yesterday that Google Docs on Android doesn't support inserting a webp image a decade after Google was pushing it. I had one from a website and needed to run it through imagemagick first.

Android supports it, all the apps using android image primitives supoort it, but one of Google's flagship apps still doesn't.

We used move much faster thirty years ago. If an app supported say GIF, PNM, and TGA when JPEG came out it was supported in the next release.

Hopefully this round will be better. It's probably a management problem ... maybe they will listen to their chatbot since they don't listen to their engineers.

To which field? Math? Not even close. Data theft? absolutely.

If the mathematicians ever used ChatGPT to talk about math, then that is the source of the results. LLMs, by definition, cannot usefully contribute to anything that requires more than rearranging existing data. Rearranging existing data is their only function.

It's irritating when that happens. Ruins the fun. Then I have to go research something different.

Yeah, I'm just not sure "weak to private equity" is a reasonable metric for which companies should be culled.
