  • I agree with the other comments, but wanted to add how deepfakes work to show how simple they are, and how much less information they need than LLMs.

    Step 1: Basically you take a bunch of photos and videos of a specific person, and blur their faces out.

    Step 2: This is the hardest step, but still totally feasable for a decent home computer. You train a neural network to un-blur all the faces for that person. Now you have a neural net that’s really good at turning blurry faces into that particular person’s face.

    Step 3: Blur the faces in photos/videos of other people and apply your special neural network. It will turn all the blurry faces into the only face it knows how, often with shockingly realistic results.

















  • I use both, since they do different stuff. I actually remote into my servers with wireguard, but I like to install tailscale as well as a backup. Since each device gets a unique tailnet ip, I can usually still connect even if I’ve fucked up some network config that breaks wireguard. ((If this is a security risk, someone let me know because I have no clue what I’m doing tbh.))

    Plus tailscale lets you easily see what devices are connected to the internet at a given time.



  • Pretty sure this is the correct answer. Bender was born in the future, but (ignoring the paradoxical time travel duplicates from the first movie) waited out the 1000 year time span two separate times (once in Roswell that Ends Well, and again the first movie). Then lived through two entire universe lifespans in the forward time machine in The Late Philip J Fry.

    Space God might not have even survived the end of the universe twice like he did.

    HOWEVER: If you don’t count the forward time machine stuff, I think it’s probably one of the Nibblonians who are the oldest, since I’m pretty sure they existed before the birth of the universe
