And here's the official announcement:

I'm excited to own our social media presence. Long live the open web. Let's go 🚀

“It is the more personal pain of seeing a 5% GPU utilization number in production. I am offended by it.” 🔥

TIL in 1935 FDR introduced a top tier tax rate of 89%. Only one person was rich enough to qualify for the tax rate: John D Rockefeller.

No, of course not. Never use an exchange as a wallet. Don't store money on exchanges. Do your exchange then withdraw.

While AI avatar generator Lensa generated realistic yet flattering avatars for men—think astronauts, fierce warriors, and cool cover photos for electronic music albums— a female MIT journalist got skimpy clothes and overtly sexualized poses. It's likely the data set: Because the internet is overflowing with images of naked or barely dressed women, and pictures reflecting sexist, racist stereotypes, the data set is also skewed toward these kinds of images. https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/12/12/1064751/the-viral-ai-avatar-app-lensa-undressed-me-without-my-consent/ #AI
