Yeah, because it concerned me with my large collection of CDs I can remember warnings decades ago they were estimated to have a seven year life span. I'm pleased to say all mine have well and truly surpassed the seven year mark.

Agreed.

"I've been in HR since '95, so yeah, I'm old, lol. Noticed a shift in how we view old social media posts? Those wild nights you don't remember but got posted? If they're at least a decade old, they're not as big a deal now. But if it was super illegal, immoral, or harmful, you're still in trouble.

As for nudes, they can be both the problem and the solution.

To sum it up, like in the animate movie 'The Incredibles': 'If everyone's special, then no one is.' If no image can be trusted, no excuse can be doubted. 'It wasn't me' becomes the go-to, and nobody needs to feel ashamed or suicidal over something fake that happens to many.

Of course, this is oversimplifying things in the real world but society will adjust. People won't kill themselves over this. It might even be a good thing for those on the cusp of AI and improper real world behaviours - 'Its not me. Its clearly AI, I would never behave so outrageously'.

University textbooks? Encyclopedias? You should try scholar.google.com

I can't even tell which is which. Based on the beef patties I had last night, the right is the meat. But the left could be meat too - but cooked by a heathen on a very very low grill. But as you say, who cares if it tastes great? I don't even need Beyond meat to taste like meat if it tastes delicious.

But who puts the cheese under the pattie?

So Hot!

Could be as simple as reserving popular usernames too.

Its probably similar in other places, but where I live, between public holidays, 10 sick days a year, shutdowns over Christmas and New Years, and annual leave you will be working four day weeks and paid for five days for significantly more than half the year anyway.

Or an even bigger impact by having fewer children.
