it’s going with the “us vs them” mentality mentioned in the post. and I see you with your self-upvote there, I really love kbin for that transparency

you either agree with me, or you’re in the other tribe

I think you misunderstood what I said, I’m agreeing with you on the mental gymnastics, but the argument you put out wasn’t exactly the best when given to the PoV of the gymnast; they’re avoiding ingesting tap water in favor of bottled, but they ingest it regardless, unless they wash everything with bottled water like a very crazy person

and didn’t expect to respond again about this crazy hypothetical person that lives rent free in both our minds, but I’m going to evict that person right now for my own sanity

I’m not defending bottled water, but in regards to the shower argument, there’s a reason things are rated for topical use vs food grade

the better argument is someone drinking bottled water while using tap water to wash their foods

same deal with the ones with matching the orientation of something with a given direction being pointed at; it’s training 2d-to-3d AI image generators

another reason I heard is it’s also another tool to give the company wiggle room to say they’re not in the best state they could be, that there’s still room for growth. under the current system, companies have to keep growing and keep appearing to have the potential for growth, or die

okay, I’ll concede, my scope also was pretty limited. I still stand by not trusting the public with deciding what’s the best use of AI, when most people think what we have now is anything more than statistics supercharged in its implementation.

I remember seeing that some asian countries included plastic finger condoms with their chip bags. But that increased 0.0001 cents of added manufacturing cost per bag/can is too much for the rest of the world, best they can do is add more air in them.

you also don’t have to understand how 5g works to know it spreads covid /s

point is, I don’t see how your analogy works beyond the limited scope of only things that result in an immediate loss of life

given the cost of housing, I’d be willing to entertain some willful ignorance, too.

reading further, after the knee-jerk:

• “Of the two cases so far this year, one was in a person who tested positive after being admitted to hospital and the other was an asymptomatic staff member of a veterinary practice.”
• “Only one named individual has previously tested positive – Wendy Hayes, of Stoke, who caught it from a pregnant foster dog she took in from Belarus last year.”

half of my loss of faith in humanity from this is restored

had to dig in the article for the means of transmission between dogs and humans, and could only find it from an article linked inside there that mentions “The disease can spread to humans through canine reproductive fluids, but they can be treated with a long, strong course of antibiotics.”

The article here also mentions “two people caught it this year from dogs”
…oh. oh dear

I really do like it for something that I want to just add quick/small edits to, or something that can be slapped together quickly. But I do hope this isn’t the start of a trend to bloat mspaint and aim to compete against more robust image editors.

The pessimist in me fears they’re going to, and start slapping on AI data harvesting measures that they’re integrating into Windows, like for training their own AI art generators. But this addition, in a bubble, is a welcome change.
