Very interesting! Thanks

Got any more details on that? Seems like it could be an interesting read

I wouldn’t view India as a world leader in any field but may be ignorant of some specialities? I know there is innovation but nothing major springs to mind. I’m being lazy though - that can likely be looked up and verified with stats.

Technology wise, it appears to depend on western countries outsourcing work, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but isn’t a good thing either since the draw to using India isn’t skill but cost. If the cost goes up, the west will stop outsourcing there and go to some other low cost base. (I’m not saying Indians aren’t skilled, just that’s not the primary reason why outsourcing there is happening, it’s all about exploitation from the west in search of more profit).

Politically it seems to have been a dumpster fire for some time and looks like it’s trending towards more national extremism. Though that doesn’t seem to be unique at all - feels like the world is shifting to more fascist tendencies.

The caste system is especially cruel and I regularly read stories that it’s going strong with no signs of stopping. I find that morally repugnant.

The amount of scams against innocent people that originate from India is shocking, and it really appears as though corruption is so high that it’s not going to get better any time soon.

Professionally, I deal with Indians semi regularly and it’s overall positive. Personally, I’ve come across a few assholes but the majority have been decent people and none of the issues above ever come up.

Shaq would be an awful president. Excellent basketball player and major respect to him for that choice on shoes but this does not translate into the skills, or knowledge that should be required to be a political leader.

Because it’s full of pseudoscience. He’s a better spoken and more intelligent version of Joe Rogan. If you haven’t done proper research I suggest you do, if you still don’t understand (or don’t care about) the dangers of psuedoscience then you do you but know you’re part of the problem then. My advice, put the kool-aid down dude, he’s not the answer to whatever it is you are looking for.

That day, as investigators got a search warrant for Colby Trickle’s cellphone, an autopsy for Kristen Trickle was underway. At the scene, Coroner Noordhoek, who suspected suicide, had looked for any evidence that someone else was involved — like signs of a struggle.

Erin Moriarty: Were there any signs of defensive wounds or any signs that she had fought with anyone before she died.

Lyle Noordhoek: No.

Noordhoek says he also examined Kristen Trickle’s body for signs of past physical abuse.

Lyle Noordhoek: Typically … there’s … a series of progressive injuries over a period of time, so you can tell that they’ve been beating on each other. In this case, I wasn’t really seeing that. … So, I’m going, well, I have to take the husband’s statement at word value that he was there and the gun went off, and she is dead.

I couldn’t find that quote in the OP article but found it in another. Wow. He needs to be fired.

That’s an asinine statement to make and suggests a lack of common sense.

Any website can be compromised, even if only for a short time and zero click zero-day vulnerabilites exist. Companies are not the only ones at risk from this or the only ones with something to lose if their system gets compromised.

Common sense is important but not enough (and evidently not common enough).

I don’t disagree that they require professional medical help, I disagree that they require masturbatory aides in the form of graphic text, images, or video of children in sexual poses/positions, of any sexual nature, or being abused. Computer generated or not.

It’s a discussion and I’m mature if I agree with you but not if I don’t therefore I can’t join the discussion?

By banning AI imagery production using safe models, legislators leave no legal way for pedophiles to get something by the harmless means.

Paedophile’s are not entitled to, nor should they get “something” or anything when it comes to any desire to engage in sexual abuse of a child.

directing many to the harmful ways as equally illegal

No, that is not the cause nor does it provide any justification.

while also prosecuting those who did no harm.

Consumers of CSAM in ANY form are doing the worst harm. There is no excuse that can be provided to justify this. Take a long look at your life. Children are not sexual objects, AI generated or not.
