Every photocopy machine I’ve come across that accept USB sticks do not support exFAT, so what I would do with my USB stick is to split it into two partitions, one FAT32 and the rest exFAT.

Fair. I guess I never really needed to deal with that since I upload in original. That and Google Photos Takeout Helper made migrating easy for me.

Not entirely disagreeing with you but, what exactly is “malicious” about separating photo and metadata? It could be just how their servers process and stores those photos, with the added benefit of geotagging videos.

I use Google Photos and upload in original quality. When I download from takeout, the metadata is still in the original files. Iirc, only if you select upload in “high quality” where they compress it again, do you lose the metadata in the file stored in the cloud.

I don’t know if this helps you, but in computer science there’s a dataset called CelebA containing huge amounts of celebrity face photos, original and cropped with some basic attributes annotations, that is used to train various deep learning models.

From the article:

Let’s first start by getting the facts out of the way — erasing objects won’t be perfect. In this comparison, we aren’t using the more advanced AI editing tools (Magic Editor for Google phones and Generative Edit for Samsung phones), just the basic object erasers. These tools work best on smaller objects rather than people right next to you or larger objects.

Yeah, to be fair, the naming isn’t great and I can see why people get confused by it. Magic Edit is not Magic Eraser. Magic Edit uses GenAI and gives you multiple options to choose from, while Magic Eraser is not based on GenAI and will only give you the result and no options to choose from.

The “fuck you I got mine” mindset. Sigh

Nebula works for now because it still has nowhere near the amount of videos being served and uploaded per minute than YouTube. Having to cache videos in servers all around the globe takes up significant cost too.

You’re right, I misread the question and thought it was the 1700s. That changes it quite a bit 😂.

The medieval period to me would be like in Game of Thrones or DnD settings, where automation tech was still hydraulic based at best, and medical knowledge was still very very limited.

1700s had steam engines and electricity, and apparently lithography was invented in the 1790s, so that’s a big difference.

Sure lol. I harness the power of the sun and lightning to make special stones that other people can command it to make it work for them.
Basically creating a golem haha.

I’d love a medieval version of this question lol.

I see. I still don’t think it’s cause for concern yet, but good to know. Thanks!

Which I don’t think has anything to do with GenAI. Though, I admit I’m not well educated in ear scanning and 3D audio reconstruction, so good sources are appreciated.

How personally identifiable is your ear though? It’s not connected to your thoughts, you can’t use it to determine your age height and weight, which ad company would need that data? IMO, it’s no different than sending a mold of your ear tube to a CIEM company to get your custom molded earphones.

Wrong chat dude. What does that have to do with AI anyways?

Why? If you know how to incorporate “boilerplate” and modify it correctly into your own code, what difference does it make if its from ChatGPT or Stackoverflow?

That’s why I said code “snippets”. I don’t trust it to give me the entire answer right from the get go, because I acknowledge its limitations and review it before pasting it in. I find it works better if I tell it to generate specific code rather than everything at once.

Plus, we’re not working on mission critical server stuff here. Those are code used for data analysis which probably could also be found on Stackoverflow anyway. If it works, it works.

Everything is magic if you don’t understand how the thing works.

It’s pretty useful if you know exactly what you want and how to work within it’s limitations.

Coworkers around me already use ChatGPT to generate code snippets for Python, Excel VBA, etc. to good success.
