Copium copium.

You pay for those because you can’t watch them for free without ads by using an extension or something like that. They’re not “convenient enough to bypass” for you.

Make you pay for “what has historically been provided in exchange for a fee or advertisement for the past 17 years, one year after the service launched”.

You’ll do what you want of course, but that fake outrage and righteousness is just pitiful. Just stop pretending and own that you just don’t want to pay for it as long as you’ll be able to.

Anything to justify your stance. The experience is better without ads, but people just don’t want to pay.

Dissolving “a country that’s unequivocally commiting a genocide and trying to both dissolve a country and eradicate it’s population” shouldn’t be controversial.

FFS no, were good. Let us deal with our shits ourselves. It’s not like the US absolutism of the 1st amendment and the like is a good example to follow.

That’s suspicious.
I have a theory…
Are you sure they weren’t hitting on you, placing nudes on the background and handing you their phone so they knew you had access to their phone number (during the transfer) so they were willing to pay the price of switching phone to get a callback?

I seriously can’t think of another reason than that to put nudes as a freaking background…

But since Hamas attacked a music festival first it’s ok right?
Or maybe it’s ok because Hamas hides.in tunnels under an hospital?

I need to find a good reason to say it’s ok otherwise it means my government isn’t doing what it should…

They used a clickbaity title, they’ll get clickbaity judgement.

It’s also not in their abstract, which is supposed.to contain the most important facts. Their first sentence is about how AI generated faces are indistinguishable. No, they’re not. It’s like saying “writing random numbers solves any numerical equation”, not mentioning that I took a gazillion random numbers and did my study on the ones that matched.

I understand why you’re cautious in the “accusation” (don’t put too much weight on accusation, it’s just the idea I want to convey, not any malicious intent) but in this case, I am saying that cherry picking invalidates the findings, as they are stated.

If the findings were framed around “it’s easier to fool people using white AI generated faces”, or something similar, I’d be on board with it. The way it sounds right now is “AI generated faces don’t have all these artifacts 99% of the time” (I’m paraphrasing A LOT, but you get what I mean.)

There are NDAs, and privileged information. You might not be under an NDA, but depending on where you live you might have constraints on privileged information.

I’d be curious to see the process they decided which AI faces and which Real faces they presented. It might be in the paper, but I’m too lazy to read that when I’m 95% convinced I already know the answer.

And you’re at it again!

I said what I said, and theirs is nothing vague about how you got to make choices in what you can and can’t have.

You’re the one starting to make vague statements about “submitting to their demands”, and comparing the poor to the CEO (which is totally beside any points…)

It’s quite simple: there are a billion ways to entertain yourself, some are cheaper and some are more expensive, some are worth your money and some aren’t.

These companies don’t “demand” anything. They’re offering a service for a price. If you’re unhappy about that, move on?

If you were talking about something with very few players, or in essential services, it would be a different discussion. Here we are talking about entertainment, so Netflix is in the same market as Wizards of the Coast, CD Projekt Red, Penguin Publishing, and a few hundred thousand others.

You sure like to argue against arguments I didn’t make.

Or you could act like a grown up and accept not having everything always?

If you’re on a budget, what’s wrong with subscribing for a month or two to a service, then switching to another for a few months, etc.?

Same.

Stop with facts, this is about emotions!

If you can swim though, just take the slide in the Niagara falls and we’ll get you out!

Build a wall all around the US please. We can then fill it with water.

What a dumb request.
