Weird one, but this debate has come up a couple of times and people look at me like I'm the odd ball when discussing this in real life: AI CSAM and Ethics. AI, without guardrails, can generate CSAM. This is ethically horrific. However, my opinion is that I would rather the Monsters could and would look at AI generated CSAM than pay for the...

I visited my in-laws over the holiday break. They have 2 border collies (and really shouldn't but that's a whole nother other...). Both border collies absolutely lose it barking and aggressively posturing when anyone but MIL/FIL enter a room they are in, UNLESS MIL/FIL are not home. Then they can't be bothered to even sit up from where they are napping. I find this...

OK, maybe they did something wrong; not actually giving people all potentially available discount codes when you say you will is wrong. But I don't think they did anything wrong by overriding affiliate links, and I think it's dangerous to let people convince you otherwise. Even if replacing affiniate codes has negative consequences, in the form of lost revenue and uncounted sales, for the...

GPU Purchased: RX 6650XT for $330+tax Overview I am currently looking at replacing my GPU, as I believe it is broken. I do not want to spend a high amount as money is a bit tight for me. However, I am open to spending a bit more than the cheapest option, if it will last me longer. Current Hardware CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500...
