If all children of American politicians were legally required to attend public schools and integrate into common classes I think we’d see sweeping implementation of gun laws real quick. Might also force them to improve the quality of public schools.

Some good answers, but I also want to point out that this isn't actually a universal need.

I think that our social nature, and the way most societies and communities work (particularly in countries that subscribe to exceptionalism) makes them prone to developing these feelings, but they very much are not universal and can even be unleaned.

Guess I still need to work on my own dad jokes, as mine apparently went "whoosh" right there.

Is that an euphemisms for masturbation?

The article says that they hope to regrow teeth for people who have lost their teeth to cavities, and the initial test is being done on adults who have lost back teeth. So pretty much the exact target audience you say it wouldn't target.

If you can't live off of doing something, you cannot dedicate very much time to it and not everyone will have a fulfilling life doing what they want on only a hobby basis.

It is not to the benefit of everyone, if most people in that sector lose their jobs they've spent all their working life striving to master. Artist still do commissioned work today.

If there is only only going to be a small niche of people able to do it, it will displaced all the rest of the people currently working in that industry. In which case AI is literally stopping people from doing art for a living, if they can get paid to do it.

People who followed their idea for a fulfilling life

I don't know about you, but I want AI to do the tasks in my life that prevents me from living a fulfilling life. I don't want it to do the things that I would have made my life fulfilling for me.

I think we might be coming at this from a different angle. You seem to think only about whether art will survive, whereas I'm thinking of the artists.

I wasn't commenting on the article or it's contents. Although I do find it interesting and is something I intend to keep an eye on.

I was simply responding to another comment, which also wasn't directly related to the article.

The issue isn't ego from any artists I've talked to. The issue is that most enjoy DOING their art for a living, and AI threatening their ability to make a living doing the thing they love, by actively taking their work and emulating it.

Add to that, that no one seems to believe AI does a better job than a trained artist, and it also threatens to lower the quality bar at the top end.

Personally I think that if AI is free to use and any work done by AI cannot be covered by copyright (due to being trained on people's art against their will), then I don't have an issue with it.

Thank you! That was very informative!

Thank you for the suggestion. When researching x670 boards I also found the ASRock X670E Steel Legend, which seems to occupy a similar space to the Aorus Elite AX, but perhaps slightly better. Do you know anything about that board?

Thank you for suggestions.

My reasoning for cooler I picked was partly because of Noctua's reputation for reliability and good noise levels. I am open to other options, but I'll be sitting pretty close to the pc and can be sensitive to noise. I've tried to look up information about the coolers you've mentioned, but I'm struggling to get a good feel for them. I do not care and colour, but I prefer avoiding RGB if I can.

I think you're right. I somehow missed that the torrent came with it's own large set of fans.

 

Heya,

I could use some help, as I am looking build a PC for the first time in 10 ish years.

I'm looking to convert my current system from a gaming/creative workstation into purely a creative work station and then build a new pc for gaming.

I have a ROG Strix RTX 3080 OC that is ready to go into the new gaming pc, but I need to get everything else.

I have a good 180hz 1440p screen, so high fps 1440p is my goal.

These are the parts I've put together currently. I lean towards AMD for CPU as that's what's served me well with my workstation.

I went with something that is likely overkill for CPU cooling, but my hopes are to upgrade this PC little by little as time goes on.

PSU is also overkill, but that is because I hope to snag a 2nd hand 4090 within too long, or potentially new 5090 further down the line.

I would probably also need some case fans, but I am unsure which or how many.

I would appreciate any guidance.
