Also at least in my country I can call in sick if I have a headache, will be paid for the day and there is no number of paid-time-off-days, which will be subtracted by one when I do so. The employer continues to pay up to 6 weeks of salary if you need to stay at home due to sickness, and for a period longer than 3 days you need a dr to confirm you’re sick. The number of sick days per year depend on you actually being sick - I was baffled when I learned this is a fixed number in the US (at least for some) . I guess the motivation to work sick when you have a limited number of paid sick days also contributes to the usage of pain killers.

My father in law told me how a guy at work created several pictures with AI for decorating the floor, bragging about saving costs since he didn’t use licensed pictures. But the AI may have used licensed pictures to learn creating those images. Artists lose money due to this being done by companies, which could very well afford paying the artists. I guess a private person creating memes with AI is not threatening anyone to lose their job.

I guess it’s bait for people who like to judge. The idea could be: it’s not responsible to quit science for this and being a mother makes irresponsible choices even worse. That’s not my point of view, but I know people whose life seems to be so empty that they feel a constant need to look down on others and the “mother” information gives them at least 5 more minutes of talking shit about how this is a terrible decision.

Me too - for me because things like my floor are meant to be durable, and seeing it being destroyed so easily just by some spores flying around discomfits me.

15000 downloads - that’s messed up. This backs my opinion that inflationary usage of those LLMs do more harm than good atm. To copy and paste their answers, without questioning them, is like giving up your own critical thinking to rely on a highly gifted and eloquent LSD addict as your guide.

As it has no tentacles I can see the beauty in this one, too. But I am really confused about how unreal those fungi look.

How did you not run away screaming? Is this fungus common knowledge? I’ve never seen it and I am happy to have read this post before stumbling on this another dimension opening strawberry-red nightmare

Where’s the taste review with pictures without packaging? I need to know.
