Facial Recognition systems have liveness features that make it impossible to just show it a photo.

AI models have been able to for a long time.

Edit: keep in mind this is many years old now, which is ancient in the AI world.

While this seems like a trivial issue (Just buy a third SSD for Windows and dual boot)

That’s not trivial at all. Don’t let anyone let you think otherwise.

I am glad you have faith in Canadians, I just don’t understand where that faith comes from.

Mostly from interacting quite a bit with Americans and seeing how much better Canada is by comparison. Don’t get me wrong, things are tending down, but we’ve got quite a ways to go before we get that bad.

Oh, I don’t disagree. Measles is horrible. It’s even been found to reset a person’s immune system. Like erased to newborn status.

But what I mean about not being too worried, is that I have a modicum amount of faith in fellow Canadians. And once those insane policies start happening in the US, the entire rest of the world is going to place travel restrictions to/from the US.

What conspiracy theory? Coal fired power plants, gas emissions, and microplastics have demonstrably altered the planet and has affected the health of every single person alive. In fact, it’s estimated that lead in gasoline might have directly and instruction killed more people than any other single source in history.

I ask again, what conspiracy theory?

Ya, I’m in Canada also. And unfortunately I know more than a couple of people who legit believe vaccines are a scam. But you can find idiots everywhere. I’m honestly not too worried about it here.

We have always been here.

Not at all. We have altered the environment faster and more drastically in the last 150 years and have definitely caused all kinds of issues.

It, like ADHD, has a strong genetic component, but it’s not a 1:1 correlation.

Epigenetics likely play a massive role also. Which might be the genetic correlation we’re seeing. Epigenetic influences have been shown to last multiple generations from the original trigger (specifically with the effects of trauma).

In the case of autism and ADHD, the epigenetic triggers are likely environmental, such as microplastics, over usage of antibiotics, and various toxic chemicals we’re exposed to daily.

My own personal theory is that the current rates of autism and ADHD might be affected (but not solely caused by) the use of lead in gasoline 50+ years ago. Lead exposure has lifelong implications and absolutely affects embryos as they’re developing. But that’s just a personal theory.

Edit: Holy hell! This popped up on my Google News Feed only hours after making this comment.

and then spread to the world

But the rest of the world still has the vaccine programs. Very quickly Americans will require proof of vaccination before visiting other countries. While there might be an uptick in cases outside of the US, it will be nothing compared to within.

While you didn’t explicitly say that Trump was chosen. Since the conversation is about “it shouldn’t be Trump, it should be Luigi”. The natural flow of conversation is that if you say “it shouldn’t be Luigi” then it, by default, should be Trump.

Not in civilized parts of the world.

Right. Because healthcare in other countries like Canada, the UK, and European countries are so terribly run compared to US healthcare.

Lol, no it can’t. Do you have any idea how many smaller LLMs are out there? Small enough to be trained and fine-tuned on consumer hardware. And most of those are “open” sourced models. Which means tens of thousands already have them on their computers and running locally. This genie will never go back in the bottle.

Again, you have it wrong.

where nuclear weapons are used so frequently that the average person will need tablets

All it takes is one nuke to go off and winds to carry the fallout to relatively stable countries far away.

But let’s say that you are dealing with some level of societal collapse from nuclear war. You still need iodine. Without it, it won’t matter if you secure food, water, and shelter, because you’ll get some aggressive cancer and die anyways.

Regardless of the specifics, iodine is important.

That’s kinda what I thought, but the way it’s presented made my question if they were serious or not.

RAM?

32GB? My phone has 128GB!

Are you confusing RAM with storage?

That’s not true at all. Fallout can be carried by wind over very long distances. And even a small amount of radioactive iodine accumulative in the body can be an issue.

her Holocaust denial remarks

That tracks, because she’s been going on about flat earth crap lately, and the Ven diagram of racist and flat earthers have a large overlap.

Actually the flat earther diagram is almost completely enveloped by the racist circle, specifically the “Nazi” variety of horrible people.
