When I saw the deepfake of zelenskyy on the news I was really surprised to see how poor quality it was since realistic deepfakes can be done more easily with current advancements in AI. My question is that is it posible that the deepfake was not done by the Russian government? Or maybe they were too lazy to put quality into the deepfake?
Currently, most people when they hear James Webb, they think of a telescope named after some random guy. They dont think of some guy that was insensitive or whatever to gay people. You change the name and people will then think: the telescope named after they guy that fired the gay people but was then changed to the current name. Names are names, NASA maybe shouldn’t have named it after Webb and was a mistake. How much money and controversy to we need to pay when we can just apologize or something and move on with discovering more about the universe.
What does it mean to learn a natural language? Absolutely nothing unless you have a significant understanding of it to be useful. Its like how people “know” tens of second languages without very much fluency in any of them to be useful besides bragging. I suppose because programming is easier to learn this might not be true.
I feel like some companies that have dropped business in russia will simply be replaced internally by some Russian company which breaks more ties with the west. Also wouldn't it also mean that profits would stop going to the west and those Russian companies could in the long run generate more revenue within russia. Or maybe the long run is irrelevant with the crisis.
