Also, for what it’s worth, having read your othwrs comments, it really does seem like you are going to make a good father. In the end, dedication is far more important than any fleeting emotion. You might connect with them, you might not. That’s a gamble that might never pay off for you. But the fact that are you willing to put in the dedication even without feeling that attachment is admirable, and is a neccassary trait for a father. You are not a bad father, you made an ill thought out choice, not neccassarily even a mistake until you deem it so. So long as your continued choice, regardless of the circumstances, is dedication, the odds increase every day that the child will connect with you regaurdless of whether you connect with them. And thats whats important now. You are their father first and foremost, and you are currently doing a sound job maintaining that. As for your wife, I don’t really have any advice. I’m sure you’ve already heard or thought of any thing I could tell you you shouldve done, or shouldve told her. It sounds like you’ve already exhausted my ideas for things you can do to help her. I hate to sound unempathetic, but I don’t really know what else to say.
Scubus@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If people's voices become copyright protected in the future as a response to AI, will any non-commercial uses of voices be affected as well?21·3 days agoCopyrighting voices to defeat AI would achieve nothing. Modern AI’s can be overtrained to the point where they strongly resemble their training data, but that is a problem that will be fixed within the next 5 years, which is way earlier than we will see any legislation regarding AI if our geriatric government is anything to go by. After that, AI will generate its “own” content that will be legally protected as its intellectual property.
I base this off of the fact that every media from humans is inspired by previous media. Fundamentally, once it stops directly plagiarising, there is no legal distinction between what a human would be doing and what an AI would be doing, unless we want to come up with a legal classification of “human” that explicitly rejects AI.
That opens up a whole new can of worms though. If you define human to be having human dna, does that mean the 3 babies they have been genetically altered are not human? Or are they, because they comtain at least some human dna? Does that mean i can give my AI a vestigial organ and now its legally protected? Does it have to run off a brain? What is a brain? If i duplicate the neural connections in a brain with mosfets down to every single connection, that is indisputably a human intelligence running on possibly non human hardware depending on the word of law. Or is it a human intelligence? They would react the exact same way to their organic counterpart, down to having the same memories and emotions. Does their non-biological hardware preempt them from being human? Does a pacemaker? Or neuralink?
Theres a lot to be worked out here, but it seems to me to be much less problematic to target the people wanting to misuse AI rather than targetting the tool itself.
I mean tbh yeah but i dont think you can say that in this sub. The guy already knows he fucked up. Hes at least making an effort to unfuck his up. Better late than never

Scubus@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?21·3 days agoTfw i use AI as a tool to get stuff done, not to feel good about the process and get to call myself an artist.
Scubus@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?1·3 days agoI think they were making a joke. Its the same vein as if you said you dont care about dad jokes then they made a really bad one and said “are you sure?”
Scubus@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?71·3 days agoThe issue with the leftists as youve described them is that AI IS happening. There will be no stopping it, no containing it. Its already reshaping our world. And by downplaying its future potential(ai will never be able to identify objects, oops it can now. AI will never be able to make art, whoops it can now. AI will never be able to replace a human in every industry…) you are actively stiffling discussion on how to manage those effects. Anyone who has been seriously following AIs progression over the last ten years can see the patterns on the wall. The time of human workers is over. The only question is whether were going to use AI for the benefit of everyone, or for the benefit of the elite. And by convincing consumers they shouldnt use, even though you cant convince the elite not to, you are only pushing the dial further in the wrong direction.
RIGHT NOW we need to embrace AI. Humans have already shown that we are either incapable or unwilling to run a functional society. Putting something else in charge to make the decisions humans cant or wont is the only possible future we have. Ofc Im not asking to out an llm in charge of the world. But I am asking that people actually do something about their world leaders and start getting ubi implemented today. Because soon enough we will have an AI capable of making those decisions. And make them it will. And thats either a good thing under the post scarcity society weve built, or people rolled over and ignored the problem until they decided they dont need us anymore and get rid of us.
Didnt figure it was neccassary. I was far from the first to respond. That… is not a great outlook for such an important decision though, as you have realised.

Scubus@sh.itjust.worksto Dragon Ball@ani.social•Had a fight with the wife.. [Animation is by @khyleri]English1·3 days agoThe saiyans have the ability to massively boost their chi and therefore their defenses. But assuming they are not circulating their chi, they actually have comparable defenses to a base human, hence why they used to wear armor when engaging in battles. If you get caught off guard, even a significantly weaker opponent can injure you.
Thing is, saiyans on earth have learned to get along and “open up their hearts” aka make themselves vulnerable. Little more than headcanon, but it seems they do not keep their chi circulating when around their wives, hence why you can have sex with a saiyan without getting your delicates kamehameha’d

They might not’ve made the images, but they are the ones that came up with the idea and put it together. It’s an expression from their mind, and therefore them watermarking it is a nonissue.

The dating scene is so garbage right now. I don’t consider myself a saint but the only people im matching with are snakes. EVERYONE is a user. Assuming you are not a literal nazi, that puts you ahead of the game.
Youre not literally the worst, so by holding yourself back you are potentially allowing that man to date actually the worst. You don’t have to be the best.
