About a week ago I spent around 20 minutes testing if I could tell the difference.
Which Face Is Real?
I had a perfect score, you just need to look really hard for pixel glitches. But I think the StyleGAN will eventually win, there were a few I couldn't tell the difference, was pure Luck I got some right. I guess the algorithms will continue to improve.

Very few people know that the problems with Apollo 13 were actually caused by space bears rooting around in the thrusters for toothpaste ...

Makes you wonder how the language model of BobAI (which was trained on codeproject) would perform when asked technical questions.

I think it already asks most of the questions in QA ...

Maybe some of them, the others are written asked by an editor. Guess it's to keep the site alive, I dunno. I'm on the red grapes Giggle juice tonight. Praise the Lord.

"Instead, it mindlessly spat out biased and incorrect nonsense".
I think the criticism is unfair, sounds like its perfect for all social media. Would save significant time having to think up biased and incorrect nonsense while providing a self righteous position to argue from ('I have Science on my side!'). Meta should be lauded as forward looking geniuses.

Elon Musk's Nov. 4 Interview With Ron Baron at 38:30 - he talks about how badly advertisers are treating Twitter, and they hadn't made any changes to the platform... And those damn activist groups scared off the advertisers (not the fact that those advertisers saw more hate speech on Twitter) - First Amendment! Make the spend their money with us! 
Amazing to read all the comments there and contrast it to the current situation.
"If a social media company is not taking steps to make it positive to be on that social platform the people won't come, or they'll leave, you know. ... Who is going to stay on a platform if [antisemitism/racism is] prevalent?..." -vs- I'm all for free speech! Bring back everyone who has been banned! - more

I am surprised by the results of straw poll.
I voted that "." was part of the extension.
How else would you know it was an extension?
I don't get it.

That's the point

exactly. If one saw ".for", one would expect that to be an extension reference without context, but "for" would be not be so clear as an extension. mycode.for Fortran code.

Consider, for instance, an open range, defined by
a < x < b Now, you know the range because you know both a and b, however, none of them is part of the range.

You have the same problem with path separators: If the slash is not part of the preceding directory name, how do you know that it is a directory name?
So the slash (or backslash, depending on OS) must be part of the directory name.

Nope, just delimiters which are added when the path/name is formatted as a string for a particular purpose, primarily as aids to human readability.
The delimiters do not exist in the file system itself -- definitely not in FAT at least, and probably not in any others.
If someone has first name John and last name Smith, you may see it expressed as a string as "Smith, John" -- the comma is not part of either name, it is just an artifact of that particular formatting. Asking which name it is part of is nonsensical.
And other purposes may require other formattings, such as: <Name First='John' Last='Smith' />
The situation is more obvious with all the various ways people format dates and times within their cultures.
If you split the parts of the path/name into substrings, one substring per part of the full path/name, then there is no longer any need for the delimiters.
A UNC path to a file may be: \\SMITH\COMMON\Data\Today\Myfile.dat
while on OpenVMS I may refer to the same file as: SMITH::COMMON:[Data.Today]MyFile.dat
It just formatting for a particular purpose.

I prefer: SMITHCOMMONDataTodayMyfiledat without any delimiters. Forces the file system to use black magick.

Why limit yourself to printable characters? There must be some non-printable Unicode characters that are acceptable to the file-system.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Why to use characters? You can directly use 1s and 0s

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
