For those of you older members you may remember 20 - 25 years ago when "content farms" were pumping out garbage, low quality website content and entire websites that could be used to post ads at. It was terrible, Google eventually woke up and changed the algorithm to push those sites and pages far far down off the search listings and the practice went away. AI has re-launched the same idea, this time with humans barely involved.

I think AI development needs to be slowed down so that humanity has a chance to really understand the risks associated with it. Unfortunately, human greed makes that very, very unlikely - technocrats see billions and trillions of dollars to be made by this technology and using caution is just in their way. This goes way beyond image generation, of course. YouTube is already filled with AI generated garbage content that isn't declared - it should all be required to be labeled and filtered out if the user wants.

I've emailed twice over the past week to regain access to the members forum but have heard nothing back yet. Many years ago I used to login into the members forum but I've since lost my login information and maybe it's expired anyways - but that's why I say "regain" access. As far as I know I've always been in good standing but not super active in terms of actually posting.

I am rather embarrassed about any girls seeing my feet after battling for years with toenail fungus. It's gotten a little bit better after a trip to the dr's here in the USA and getting a prescription cream BUT it would be nice if there were some kind of medical pedicure place in Pattaya I could sneak into for some cosmetic trimming on my toenails. Is something like that available in Pattaya? I don't want to go to a regular pedicure place - at least not at first until they start to look better.
