Then there’s those spots where the speed limit is 25mph, but they throw a few “safety humps” in there, and you have to slow down below 10mph or you’ll throw out at axle. First time visitors always hit too hard, because they’re traveling at the speed limit, and the humps look gentle. Wonder what the city will do when someone loses control and hits a pedestrian while doing nothing wrong.
I see what you see, but I’m pretty sure its legit. I’ve recently discovered Android phones, at least the Pixel line, seem to run images through an upscaler.
I have photos that I’ve taken and archived off the device years before the whole AI thing started, and they carry artifacting that is indistinguishable to that found in a generated image.
I guess the training data has a lot of these types of artifacts, and that’s why it pops up in the images. If I ever have to prove something I have isn’t generated, I’m screwed.

Every now and then, the worm gets tired, and must take a nap.
Kinda upset that no one makes a big deal about connecting the rail strikes with the East Palestine incident. Like, the president interferes with a union negotiation, revokes their right to strike in order to “save Christmas,” then a major incident occurs three months later because the boss ordered the workers to ignore safety issues while transferring hazardous chemicals. To me, this seems like low hanging fruit to rile up voters and start pushing for change, but it all just… faded away.
If we pushed to fully automate everything that possibly can be automated, there wouldn’t be much work left. Jobs right now are just busywork.
The news drones on and on about labor shortages, but I’ve never seen a desperate employer. The trades say there’s shortages, but all the trades are flooded with apprentices, and then there’s pre-apprentices flooded in behind them. Office jobs have to sort through hundreds of applications for a single opening. Hell, even low wage jobs have huge labor pools ready to work, but the owners still find a way to nitpick. Things are horrifically upside down.
Topographically speaking, bowls, plates, forks, spoons, and knives are all spheres.
I wonder if an adnauseam approach could help. Instead of the customer relying on the carrier or manually blocking spam numbers, if everyone picked up every spam call, goes through the automated system to reach a person, says “hello?”, then mutes the mic and lets the human stick around until they hang up.
Sure, they have robocallers that can hit 50,000 numbers a minute, but what happens when every single number answers and gets routed to the humans?
