Seems like at that point one might as well just pay onlyfans? Although I suspect it is not far off until gpt and deepfaking get combined to produce completely generated onlyfans (or some other competitor if this is against their ToS, I have no idea).
On a similar note I very much look forward to the day when entertainment providers leverage these so I can say to Netflix, et al, "I would like to watch a documentary about XYZ, narrated by someone that sounds like Joe Schmoe, and with the styling of SomeOtherShow".
I assumed I knew what `and get charged extra if they want them to act a certain way or do certain things` meant, but maybe not. I thought it was along the lines of acting romantic/sexual/etc. Maybe I'm way off but I'd think otherwise it would just be an AI friend.
I didn't know AI girlfriends were a thing until I clicked on this post today.
I would argue that the verb forms of calm and sooth connote stimulation, whereas the adjective form of calm might be a lack of stimuli. I'm not sure there is a present tense adjective form of sooth? But certainly one might say, "this music is very calming" so in that case the stimulus is causing the non-stimulated (by my definition) state... Offsetting the anxiety causing stimuli? I am neither a linguist nor a medical professional, but you got me thinking! Thanks.
Hopefully OP can recover any lost work(Or simply get unbanned), but I will venture a guess that buried in GH's TOS is something that amounts to "You agree to these rules, and if you violate them and get banned that is on you" and they can point at this/these clause/s and say, "Hey, OP broke the rules and that's that"
Ah man, i hate this. It also used to (may still) randomly end the loop in the playlist and kick you to some suggested video instead. Absolutely awful UX
Except that right now simplified Chinese contents are dying on the open web due to the walled gardens these super apps built. There are also payment and some government services now must be done in these super apps in China.
Mine died last year and I upgraded to the 16" m1max. I was not happy to spend the money, but I think I can easily get another decade out of this new beast
My 2013 MacBook became so unreliable that it was unworkable. Getting 8 years from a laptop is pretty good, but in terms of speed I could have gone another two years, no problem.
My main concern buying old PC laptops is screen quality. It still possible to buy a laptop with a shitty screen in 2022, even a brand new one.
Company issued laptops are also weird. If you replace laptops every two years, the why buy the top of the line model? Sure some jobs just benefit from the exstra resources, but even many developers could easily do with less.
Because the hardware is very rarely the most expensive part of a business, especially in tech. Software developers are paid 50-100x what a laptop costs per year. And if the employee leaves, the laptop goes to a new one. In the meantime, those 2yo laptops the devs had often get passed on to HR, sales, etc. It's not like they get tossed out with the trash.
If getting new hardware makes an employee happy and/or allows them to get a job done even slightly faster, it's basically free to the company, so why not?
A personal machine is a very different cost/benefit calculation to a work box.
