A guy could get really screwed if an ai-generated portrait happens to look like them AND if these get added to the facial recognition database considered the gold standard by certain agencies, considered more definitive even than identifying documents produced by the state itself. And I would be 0% surprised to hear that's where things like this end up.

Interesting statement from a company far from having stuck the landing on its own platform.

"experts" who are in the business to sell you metabolic enhancements.

Then tell me experts, how were my wife and I able to lose weight using intermittent fasting and resticting refined carbs and sugar? Hm?

Valid points about money, but they’re primarily talking about calorie restriction and how metabolic adaptation eventually leads to weight loss stopping, because metabolism adapts to less energy and you can’t just keep ‘eating less’. If you’re familiar with the low carb community, this is what’s famously called the ‘Biggest Loser’ problem, referring to the TV show and how contestants lost a lot of weight through extreme calorie restriction—but their metabolism eventually slowed down and they couldn’t eat less, so—nearly everyone gained it all back.

> they couldn’t eat less

If they are gaining weight, why can't they eat less?

metabolic slowing with increased calorie restriction means that eventually the body adapts to the point where youd be consuming too few calories to function and still barely losing any weight

Yes but they already lost weight. What I didn't understand is how the body decides to store fat, ie gain weight back, rather than function properly.

There's a lot of info about this online, but here's a quick TL;DR example: https://www.health.harvard.edu/diet-and-weight-loss/lessons-...

What most people don't understand is that weight loss and health is about a lot more than 'calories in/calories out', despite what we've been told for decades.

On the contrary, draconian methods of social control are going to make mass immigration a constant phenomenon.

"non-nerds?" AI has obliviated the nerd. How can you nerd out if you let AI do your thinking?

It's like refusing to admit people age. It's anomalous entropy.

There's no thing to deal with. It's purely their own invention.

I can hear conspiracy nuts already, claiming magic is real, AI finally showing us the truth.

Did you check that the officer was not a frog ?

As long as it can be turned off, I will remain a user. I've been a user of this lineage of browser since Netscape. I've got its features baked into muscle memory. But I have no interest in the overhead nor the distractions of AI integration. I guess it remains to be seen how feverently the new CEO wants to alienate the existing userbase.
