I think that's because in the first case, the amp modeller is only replacing a piece of hardware or software they already have. It doesn't do anything particularly "intelligent" from the perspective of the user, so I don't think using "AI" in the marketing campaign would be very effective. LLMs and photo generators have made such a big splash in the popular consciousness that people associate AI with generative processes, and other applications leave them asking, "where's the intelligent part?"

In the second case, it's replacing the human. The generative behaviors match people's expectations while record label and streaming company MBAs cream their pants at the thought of being able to pay artists even less.

who is this message for?

Everyone watching from the outside. It's an attempt to convince us that Israel is being fair and giving non-conbatants a fair way out, and that anyone caught in the crossfire from this point forward chose to stay.

its up to a parent to deal with it

What a nice cherry on top of the hypocrisy pie. The party of "personal responsibility" and "small government" is perfectly happy when government is used to regulate sexuality and help out the irresponsible parents that don't want to spend time monitoring their children's Internet usage. Now young teens are going to learn how to use VPNs or just find the shadier sites that don't give a shit about U.S. state laws.

Both of which would be adequately addressed by parents learning how to use the tools that are probably already built into their router.

One of these is not like the others.

Having watched from the outside as other people make this transition, it never looks fun. At least in large organizations, it just looks like a ton of added responsibility without enough additional authority to make meaningful change.

I remember having a period of time like this when I was enlisted - I was held responsible for the completion of tasks but not given authority to reward or correct the behavior of those in my charge. I would absolutely loathe being in that position again in the civilian world.

I don't think that's quite accurate.

The "understand it well enough to explain it to a professor" clause is carrying a lot of weight here - if that part is fulfilled, then yeah, you're actually learning something.

Unless of course, all of the professors are awful at their jobs too. Most of mine were pretty good at asking very pointed questions to figure out what you actually know, and could easily unmask a bullshit artist with a short conversation.

Materials that are actually bulletproof to anything more than 22LR and birdshot don't dent like this.

I thought it was widely known

It is, except by those that it applies to.

I like the combination of the absurdly-new tech and a nearly 70 year old front sight post design. Not even a red dot.

FSP gang represent, no other AR sight is better, fight me.

Heh. Pew go pew pew.

 

I was presented with this captcha before completing an online purchase this morning on my phone. The window is too small to see all of the images or the "Verify" button.

I did eventually realize that I can swipe upwards to scroll down a bit and see the rest, but there's no visual indicator to do so. It took me a bit to figure it out.
