<p>IMHO lowercase phi should definitely be that symbol that sort of looks like an extravagant cursive p (), not the one that looks like an o with a slash through it.</p>

<p>I don't get it. Everyone knows that a nude is going to be AI. Even <i>actual</i> nudes can be explained away as just AI.<p>Sure it's distasteful, but it's no different to cutting and pasting heads onto porn stars as was done plenty before.<p>I'm not saying there's entirely no harm in that, it's obviously a form of bullying, but AI does not make it novel, or a crisis.</p>

<p>The US will either have a long and painful and ultimately unfruitful ground war, or will have to accept some of Iran's terms for a ceasefire which will leave Iran in a stronger geopolitical situation than before the war.<p>A third option is for the US to throw Israel under the bus  and either cut military funding to them, or force them to contain themselves by treaty, join the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and so on, under that threat.<p>Since Israel have been goading for this war, spoiling any diplomacy (by killing the Iranian diplomats), and seem to have no intention of ceasing fire until Iran is completely fractured, I think they are the ones who need to be stopped.<p>Iran would perhaps re-agree to the terms and inspections they were previously under if Israel were also forced to submit. America would then re-establish it's authority in the region to some extent.</p>

<p>What a clown show.<p>I'm very sure that Trump just announced the ceasefire to save face and brag that his threats worked to get the strait reopened, and the whole thing will be just a ruse to regroup for further attacks.<p>I can't see cooler heads in Washington agreeing to these 10 points, and Israel will certainly have something to say.<p>If these points <i>are</i> agreed, it's a catastrophic strategic defeat for the US.<p>They already lost most of their bases in the region (13/18 I believe), and would now have to evacuate the rest. We've learned that American military is not so mighty after all.<p>America's reputation as upholding a rules-based world order is in the toilet.<p>Iran will emerge as the dominant regional power, with global leverage and a steady extra income due to their complete and accepted control of Hormuz.<p>The smaller states will be scrambling to find a new international security partner, and China seems like a likely candidate.<p>The Petro-dollar is likely toast.<p>I mean if Vlad Putin himself were to direct every decision Trump has made, he could scarcely have done a better job of damaging America and disrupting the world order. Making America Grotesque Again.</p>

<p>Surely they could offer a cheaper 'unregulated, no guarantee' AI interpretation with a confidence rating, and an optional follow-up 'are you sure?' expert assessment at full price.<p>OTOH they're probably planning to charge full price anyway, but massively reduce costs, because, profit.</p>

<p>Recommended stack for this? Wordpress?<p>I can immediately some problems to do with content formats. Fro example, facebook lets you have a 'montage' of photos, but instagram only shows one. The music available is heavily restricted on different platforms. Video length limits are different. Etc.<p>Does any software let you make a main post on your own site, but then render differently to the silos?</p>

<p>I'm beginning to think that the problem of 'late capitalism' is quite related to the ability of companies to acquire other companies.<p>Thereby eating their competition, either by stifling upcoming competitors or to gain degrees of monopoly power by joining with peers.<p>What would the world look like if you you simply could not do that?</p>

<p>The navigation is broken on this for me. If I zoom in, the mouse panning is still at the zoomed out level. I mean I have to move the mouse increasingly accurately and in small increments as I zoom in, as though I'm still panning the zoomed-out map. And the zoomed-out map itself is not exactly fluid.</p>
