LostXOR

Robots are a lot more energy efficient than humans. Human muscles are around 25% efficient while robotic motors can be >90%. However they lose massively in energy density. 100 grams of carbs has 1.7 MJ of energy, which is equivalent to 2-3kg of lithium batteries. A human can run for hours on a kg of calorie dense foods, while a robot would need a bulky battery or constant battery swaps/recharges.

Someone complimented my hair at a bus station well over a year ago and I still think of it sometimes.

Then you realize they were just doing it to be polite, like everyone else.

I think it's a pretty good response. It communicates that you have a crush on them, while giving them a simple way to tell you whether it's reciprocated, and implying that you care what they think.

Of course you could just be direct, but that can be hard, and this way is pretty funny too.

I name this the entangled superposition strategy. Your answer is in a superposition between yes and no, and is entangled with your potential crush's answer. As soon as they observe your answer, the superposition collapses and both answers are seen to be the same.

Obviously you shouldn't rely on any one thing to determine if an image is AI generated, but in this case it's the most obvious sign.

Comic books style can look similar, but AI text just looks a lot more inconsistent.

It's certainly better than using a random online service, but I still find the idea of being emotionally dependent on a computer algorithm deeply unsettling. I hope someday you can find a real girlfriend to talk to. :)

The text gives it away; AI generated text always looks a bit off with its inconsistent sizing, kerning, and distortion.

I'm pretty sure you're right; that makes more sense.

A small test reactor paves the way for bigger, more practical reactors. You can't start with a full-sized gigawatt model; you need to test and validate your designs at a small scale first.

Let me guess, the old "change the text background to black" redaction trick? A classic.
