I'm talking about the political, economical and social structures, not the Republic.

Then the end of slavery in the Empire and and the start of serfdom, more efficient than slavery, after de Diocletian reforms killed the Empire. That's contradictory. And slavery was still a thing after those reforms, as other comments say.

Diocletian reforms, the corruption, civil wars and the inability of defend itself eroded and destroyed all the structures that made the Republic great all those are the reasons that made the Empire fall.

Everybody knows slavery ended with the Roman Empire.

Thank you. I was finally able to install it, I think my setup is to blame for all the issues. I think I wasn't able to open the .mbin because I downloaded it on Linux before moving it to the emulator, and it missed some information in the process. Downloaded it inside the emulator using iCab, and after several tries (probably because networking on my emulator doesn't work properly) was able to open it on StuffIt 5 and decompress the .gz during the installation.

Stuffit extract the installer but it doesn't do anything, I don't know what I'm missing.

I've tried different versions of Macbinary without luck, maybe I'm missing something.

A installation guide would be great. I'm trying to install it and I don't know what to do with the mbin file. When click on it says something about connectfour application missing.

I don't know what they expect with this, but it will end with the EU's shoe up their asses.

Is not just that. All of those could be white or not, but AI can't refuse to respond to a prompt based on prejudice or give wrong answers.

In this case is asked to create a image of a "happy man" and returns a women, and there is no reason to do that.

People are focusing to much on the "white people" thing but the problem is that Gemini is refusing to answer to prompts or giving wrong answers.

It's not the accuracy, the problem is that it refuses to create images of white people

The problem is more that it refuses to make images of white people than the accuracy of the historical ones.

If you can't see the difference between a live being and a piece of software who is going to suffer are you.

No, we are attributing feelings to an overglorified spreadsheet. I understand it, we have empathy, but AI is just responding to an input the way it have been trained, like other piece of software.
