I’d settle for the powerful people just not being dicks anymore.

Looks like it might be AI to me. Check the right hand and the bit of book near it. Also, most of the words are illegible and have that telltale AI smear.

Yes, but IIRC they just happened to be the location of the hell portal that humans disturbed, and hell started leaking out. The depiction of Phobos and Deimos as hell-like was after the leakage. The third part of original Doom was back on Earth when the leakage had spread there, and it looked exactly like the hell of the Mars moons.

I wouldn’t bet money on that being exact, but that’s how I remember it.

Any time they get asked questions like “Are my messages visible only to me?”, they answer with a very canned response like “Your messages are encrypted from end-to-end and can’t be read by anyone while in transit” … or words to that effect. I have never seen them state that no analytics or telemetry is happening on the unencrypted side by the client. Which has always bothered me.

Back at the start WhatsApp wasn’t free, although it was pretty cheap. Then Meta bought it and made it free. Some time after that, the founders left and started Signal.

The E2E encrypted protocol WhatsApp used to use was the Signal protocol. When the OG founders left and created Signal they revamped it, calling it the Signal V2 protocol. Whether WhatsApp still uses that original Signal protocol or not is probably not known to many people outside of Meta, but WhatsApp definitely used to be E2E encrypted prior to Meta’s purchase.

I deleted my WhatsApp account around the time Meta announced they were merging all of their messaging stuff together, e.g. Facebook Messenger, Instagram etc.

Norwegian Blues are quiet and chilled out, so I hear.

Especially in ML too. It’s currently easier to integrate multiple small specialised models than to train a big model for every use case. If I understand correctly, that was one of the main motivations for Anthropic developing the Model Context Protocol, including interacting with LLMs from front-end clients.
