    SFR AI imagining...it's fun!

    One has to ask though, at what point is a photo considered AI generated and should be banned? Fully creating a photo from words as those above which were openly specified as AI generated? Taking an existing photo and having AI clean it up, change the clarity, coloring, etc?

    Cell Phone Pics

    Working our dog in the upland area on a long line, around the bend of a hill floats… With his ground crew following. We talked a bit as he glided around the hill following the gully and again later as he was walking out.

    Question for the Raft Experts

    Going with a 35# raft is a game changer. My pram was 65, pontoons I looked at 50+/-. My outcast Clearwater is 35#. It’s a joy to move, lift so the Scout would be as well

    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    Yes, because as you go back, villages were smaller. Even neighboring villages might have people you’re already related to without knowing. I think in 30 generations, the number becomes just over 2.14 billion family members. Bad thing is if I remember correctly, earth didn’t get a billion...

    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    Not really humor, unless you take it to the darkside. I was listening to a podcast lecture on family trees. He equates it more to a web. I was quite surprised. The number of people over time you are related to. Ever think of it? As you work backwards, it doubles. Your parents are 2...

    NFR AI - How It Will Affect Jobs In The Next 5 years

    True, but certain budget documents offer insight to an extent. But that’s the same with military programs, only the black budgets are not open to review

    NFR AI - How It Will Affect Jobs In The Next 5 years

    Dare I mention the use of AI and the increase in jobs using it, for nefarious purposes? Most posts have been about job loss. I think AI is more worrisome in regards to the way certain agencies are using it, all the while restricting states from making laws to control it.

    If they are created here even with mixed parts, I would think birthright citizenship applies.

    NFR AI - How It Will Affect Jobs In The Next 5 years

    It is a stretch unless you group all of the communist countries with their policies together. Chinas Great Leap Forward 1959-1961 was estimated deaths of 15-55 million. It’s calculated Russia lost 100 million deaths by 1991.

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    One thing I haven’t seen mentioned concerning younger generations, environmental factors to go along with everything mentioned so far. Several years ago (30+?) the conversation was puberty changes in kids with the leading factor being processed foods, shampoos, etc, impacting hormones. Fast...

    Rain

    Area wide doesn’t look good. Though it shows 72% of normal north central Wa, I noticed that a few snotel spots had over 100% which brought up the average for that section. Overall precipitation is up, but a lot of that fell as rain or warmer temperatures melted the snow.
