What is your point? That they make multiple ones and pick out the best ones? Well duh? That’s literally how the model is going to be used.

Same here. And when you make a point of it in conversation you’re considered the crazy one. Let alone mention it to coworkers, you’re instantly a kissass.

Wow, overly dramatic and without a point. It’s a demo for a product that is supposed to make money.

What did you expect, a FLIR image of a tank then circling it to find the model? Or a dead palestinian child next to an object in Gaza, then circling the object?

I agree completely. Security is not black and white, same goes for agents that are malicious, if you’re protected from script kiddies by changing your ssh port and adding fail2van then it’s a net positive any way you look at it. It’s important to be aware of course that you’ll need to go a step further if you want to protect from more competent attackers, but what percentage of us will be a target of one of those.

A lot of my friends and coworkers from Eastern Europe share my sentiments. Every job I’ve had was due to being recruited via LinkedIn without me lifting a finger, starting from 1k euros gross per month, up until 15x that.

I dunno, it literally got me to a 180k salary (Eastern Europe based so astronomical) just by me having a profile there. I didn’t have to find a job since 2015 thanks to it. You might argue that the feed is shit, but to me it’s normal human behavior trying to stand out and abusing everything that you can (including feed algos), so I just don’t look at it.

I’ll be forever grateful to LinkedIn and I would never be in the situation I am right now if it hadn’t have been for it.

This is a forum and I’ve brought this up as a topic for conversation, I’m expressing my opinion. It’s a normal use of a forum.

And also, it sounds nothing like I’m doing that. “I feel” and “might not” are definitely signs that I’m not claiming anything just discussing the topic.

I mean might be wrong to ask this question in a US based forum as you’re mostly going to be biased, but the reality is she is an Austrian that lived in the US. I feel like the hyphen changes her identity which she might not have agreed with.

Well you used a word that is crucial imho, roots, means where you come from, origins. I feel like I tend to have libertarian views regarding choosing your identity, which includes calling yourself American, Austrian or whatever, ultimately it’s you that should make this decision. But just adding hyphens to people with historical significance that decided to move to a country that at the time gave them an economic incentive by having the best market feels dirty. Especially considering that most other countries don’t do this.

She got US citizenship, this doesn’t/shouldn’t make her an Austrian-American actress since that implies that she has American roots.

Serious question, how is she “-American”, she lived and worked in the States in the later part of her life, but her roots aren’t American?
