<p>It's still a fine argument for <i>that</i> case, you've just moved yourself out of it. They still have an incentive to keep you addicted to the service, which is basically the point of Shorts, "so you keep paying us money to satisfy your addiction" instead of the first case's "so you keep watching ads that pay us money to satisfy your addiction"</p>

<p>And you could say the same is true if you lost an AES key. But if they can establish a chain of evidence that shows (to whatever degree the court you're in requires) that it <i>does</i> contain the work, you've lost.<p>How many ways could they do this? Could they note in court that they found you getting your copy from a "super secure no liability legal loophole" piracy service? Could they just <i>get B's side</i>, whether through subpoena or whatever mechanism you have to communicate with B? (You must, since your file is "just noise" and useless to you as it is)</p>

<p>The article notes that the chloroplasts are like a larder that the slug can digest when needs be, so storage could have come well before photosynthesis was actually utilized.<p>Or maybe it was photosynthesis first. The chloroplasts just did their thing for a while, and slugs that digested them slower (and eventually ones that stored them) got more benefit than ones that didn't.</p>

<p>The United States is perfectly capable of performing atrocities without Israeli permission, and Israel is completely dependent on US funding and weaponry, not the other way around.

<p>You can make an LLM play pretend at being opinionated and challenging. But it's still an LLM. It's still being sycophantic: it's only "challenging" because that's what you want.<p>And the prompt / context is going to leak into its output and affect what it says, whether you want it to or not, because that's just how LLMs work, so it never really has its own opinions about anything at all.</p>

<p>Wildly different and subjectively less "presentable", to be clear. The fashion bubble just generates a vague bubble shape with the subject inside it instead of the"subject flying through the sky inside a bubble" presented on the site. The other case just adds the fork to the bowl of spaghetti. Both are reproducible.<p>Arguably they follow the prompt  better than what Google is showing off, but at the same time look less impressive.</p>

<p>I tried to reproduce the fork/spaghetti example and the fashion bubble example, and neither looks anything like what they present. The outputs are very consistent, too. I am copying/pasting the images out of the advertisement page so they may be lower resolution than the original inputs, but otherwise I'm using the same prompts and getting a wildly different result.<p>It does look like I'm using the new model, though. I'm getting image editing results that are well beyond what the old stuff was capable of.</p>

<p>I don't even know if the recipes themselves are real and tested any more or just slop.<p>It seems like it's more often than not that I'm coming across dishes that just do not make sense, or are poorly plagiarized by someone who doesn't understand the cuisine they're trying to replicate with absolute nonsense steps or substitutions or quantities. I used to have a great success rate when googling for recipes but now it's almost all crap, not even a mixed bag.</p>

If you hire a 17th seat your pricing goes from $50/seat/mo to... what? How do I plan around this jump?<p>I would also like to know what happens if my subscription lapses. Can I continue to use a version I previously downloaded? What if luxe goes out of business or, heaven forbid, suddenly increases their pricing to unsustainable levels? With Unreal I can keep using an old version.</p>

<p>There's a big difference between "someone at central command can take over when the car signals" and "someone must watch the car constantly and take over when they see it do anything bad".<p>The disengagement events on recent videos of FSD are still the likes of "oops it almost turned into oncoming traffic" or "oops it almost ran into a pole", that's the sort of thing you have to catch before it happens, not after.</p>
