Look closely at the image below. What do you see? What catches your eye almost immediately, and what remains unnoticed until the very end. And most importantly: what did the author intend to say?

I bet you're wrong: that a frame from a Safari promo, and the strangers in silver suits are hidden trackers monitoring your online activity. Trackers, not demons.

Don't you think this is too big a blunder for companies like Apple? Or are they trying to hint at something?

I've been running for years, and it still doesn't get any easier. It's literally the worst exercise I've ever tried (and I've tried a lot of crazy things). And the worst part is that it doesn't work at all: everything hurts, and my muscles just don't grow. Even Mike Tyson push-ups work my legs more effectively than running, not to mention simple lunges. I'd replace running with walking, but walking doesn't get me any achievement, and I just can't show off walking on the internet.

What I expect from Briar:

— transfer accounts to another device
— one account on several devices (if it's possible)
— direct connection via the Internet and custom bridge settings for countries where Tor is blocked
— optimization of energy consumption
— another app that will support the network without an account

As I understand it, each device with Briar network is a separate "server". So many of my wishes are just unrealizable. Some of them, not all.

No chance of translating this correctly without losing the reference.

Another example of obvious AI coincidences:

1. A man working on a laptop. Pencil drawing.
2. A man working on a laptop among robots. Pencil drawing.

Literally: here's a man, here's a laptop, and he is working. But this is just a copy. Every time I need to see someone working on a laptop, it's always the same angle, often with a notebook and a mug by the side. This isn't in the prompt, but for some reason the neural networks draw this exact picture over and over again. Why?

I'm convinced that neural networks need more freedom: you set only the main theme and general style, and the AI ​​comes up with the specific situation and details.

But for some reason, sometimes AI ​​drawing very similar images, with the same composition, but different details. For example, this "couple walking in the park" looks just like the "couple walking in the park" from the previous post. I don't like it, but I'm not ready to write detailed prompts yet.

I have to admit, Google's Gemini has really gotten smarter!

I was testing FunOS (which is Ubuntu LTS with JWM) and, to save time, I asked the neural network almost everything. And it answered almost all of my questions quite adequately.

Not without hallucinations, but not as delirious as before. I still wouldn't trust neural networks, but the progress is enormous. I'm really surprised.

Guys, the advice is for you!

If you're dating a colorblind girl, there's a little chance she won't notice the red flags in your behavior.

If that doesn't work, check your privileges and switch to communist girls: they even like that!

... or am I confused again?

If for some reason you like to watch VK Videos, use the mobile Vivaldi browser and see a warning literally all the videos there have been deleted or hidden by the author, blame DuckDuckGo: just disable DDG Tracker Radar in the settings of build-in ad blocker, and it will work again.

That's why I love the Vivaldi forum: I complained and received an answer immediately. Cool!

Many people believe that governments prepare us for the idea that we are not alone in the universe. The degree of madness depends on your region: for example, in Brazil, an “alien invasion” was announced directly through the emergency warning system.

That's was a prank. But just imagine how a person feels when woken up in the middle of the night by an alarm and received notification from the government: "An alien invasion has begun!".
