Is there something wrong with creating an account with fake info that you use just to watch YouTube?

Maybe it's inspired by Rothko

This is how I'm able to sleep without worrying about death, one of these billionaires has got to be funding research so they can live forever. No guarantee they'll share but that's at least a less dread inducing issue.

Still waiting for HTC to make a G3 :-(

Looks like it works

Better than an Ad I guess? Not sure if my searches haven't returned any AI stuff like this or if my brain is already ignoring them like ads.

Couldn't I just record my mouse movements clicking on it a couple dozen times and randomly replay one of those recordings?

Sounds like something they should talk about in some kind of summit about security

I'm not defending any companies, just thinking out loud, but I supposed I can see if that's how it reads.

I was just asking myself why it feels wrong when a machine does it vs when a human does it. By your argument, would it be ok if some poor nobody invented and is using this technology vs a billion dollar company? Is that why it feels wrong?

I'm more trying to figure out why it's generally acceptable when a human does it vs when a machine does it.

I don't know for sure, but I think they would be able to adjust settings so that it looks nothing like any original work, but still have the same style, as I've seen people do.

Ok, dumb question time. I'm assuming no one has any significant issues, legal or otherwise, with a person studying all Van Gogh paintings, learning how to reproduce them, and using that knowledge to create new, derivative works and even selling them.

But when this is done with software, it seems wrong. I can't quite articulate why though. Is it because it takes much less effort? Anyone can press a button and do something that would presumably take the person from the example above years or decades to do? What if the person was somehow super talented and could do it in a week or a day?

Interesting, I had an almost opposite experience. I was good enough with memorization and applying formulas in high school to pass with As but I never really understood what I was doing.

Taking calc again in college and watching a video of Neil Degrass Tyson talk about Newton figuring out orbits are conical sections made everything click for me. Suddenly I remembered the 3D episode of the Simpsons and those coin spinny things at the mall and put it all together.

After that, I was much more interested in figuring out how the formulas worked and it made learning way easier.
