What I meant was Blender is very bad at degrading gracefully to work fairly well with older OpenGL versions. As soon as your stuff is just a tad older than Blender supports, that’s it. You’re left out in the cold.

I have very modest Blender needs (mostly I need to rework prosthesis models for 3D-printing), my GPU is fairly recent but very low spec, yet sufficient for what I need. But the driver only implements OpenGL 3.0, so essentially I’m stuck with Blender 4.0.2 if I want to make use of hardware acceleration.

Any higher version and Blender simply pukes out a message saying that my GPU doesn’t have the features it requires. Or I have to degrade to software GL, which is not acceptable.

Blender has always been like that. The Blender developers assume their audience is mostly professionals with endless resources to throw at their software project, and they just don’t give a rat’s ass about making their stuff usable for people with older hardware.

Woohoo, great news!

What impossibly expensive GPU will I need to buy to even run this one?

My point wasn’t the flavor of AI used for the translation. It was that the article wasn’t translated by human beings who make a living doing translations - because that job has been more or less obsoleted by machines a long time ago - and it almost certainly wasn’t translated by a European machine translation service.

In other words, the article’s translation itself illustrates the article’s subject matter. That’s the irony.

An article on the dangers of AI and threats to digital sovereignty in Europe published in an Italian newspaper, automatically translated by AI.
Oh the irony…

As well they should: the US got into this mess themselves, they can jolly well get themselves out of it themselves too.

As you mentioned, his idiotic MAGA followers have the memory of a goldfish, and Trump bet on them forgetting his promise like they forgot all his other promises.

All the orange utan normally had to do is to declare that something will happen in two weeks, then two weeks later, everybody has forgotten.

But not with the Epstein thing. For some reason, the MAGA morons seem to latch onto this pedo thing a lot harder than onto anything else their cult leader threw at them and they don’t let go.

Those of us blessed with common sense know that the POTUS is a fucking pedo and Epstein’s top co-conspirator. But now the evidence is starting to circle around him real close!

What’s most amazing about it is, with any other POTUS, this would have been career-ending a thousand times over already. Remember Clinton’s BJ? But no: for some unfathomable reason, the raging orange pedo is still president.

Shame on the GOP elected officials for allowing that. If it was truly the party of family values and Christian value they claim it is, they would not allow Trump to soil the White House a minute longer.

If a Senator can and is willing to use an AI in their efforts then why would we need to elect that Senator?

Every morning after taking a dump, I admire my work floating in the bowl for a second before flushing. And each time I think that turd is probably more useful and more competent that the vast majority of congresscritters and senators. And if you think I’m exaggerating, there are bombs dropping in Iran that should have stopped dropping 6 days ago that say I’m right.

It’s part of Europe the same way a divorced dad who moved out is still part of the family.

Food Is Better In Europe Than In The US

This was 96.4% true until the UK left the EU. Now it’s 100% true.

when prompted with thousands of moral dilemmas, would save the lives of palestinians over israelis

Yeah but…

You can’t have it both ways: when AI tells people to eat glue, everybody sneers and says AI talks shit.
But when the answer suits you, then AI becomes proof that humans are terrible.

Which is it?

Considering how wrong AI haters usually claim AI is - and AI sure is dumb most of the time - then the above statement works against the point you’re trying to make with it.

AI siding with the Palestinians is not great for the Palestinians, because you can reasonably argue that AI got this one wrong like it gets most everything wrong.
