While true, the culture of guns in Switzerland is very different to the US.

From project manager (80k+) at a large NYC-BASED structured-cabling company to a billing coordinator position (<40k) at his most recent position. With the starting of each new job, him telling me this time it's going to be different and not end in his firing.
It makes me want to put my head into a pillow and scream because he's an intelligent, sociable and kind person but his mind just sits so juxtaposed from what these companies want. However, I can see his mind move beneath his eyes when we converse, and then subsequently lose focus, so it's pretty apparent if you were to meet him. I can see how that translates to poor job performance.
Unfortunately, due to a heavy-handed prescription dosage of adderall when he was young, he's pretty hesitant about trying a new regimen. I've tried pulling him into it by telling him my newly prescribed Semaglutide (Wegovy) medicine will also be a lifelong medication/issue too so we'll be in the trenches together.
Second off, parenting is hard. Very hard. Might be the hardest thing I've done personally. My first kid came into my life in the middle of me changing jobs, moving and then, within the first 6 months, purchasing a home. I turned the "adult" knob of my life up to 11. Don't be like me. Press pause on other big swings in your life. Yes, programming will take a back seat. The world will continue to turn.
You will absolutely curse your former self with how loose you were with your free time. You'll probably have a bit of resentment towards your spouse and the kid itself for changing that. That's okay but don't let it manifest. Every day from their birth will get better or you will adjust. Your free time won't be taken for granted anymore.
Thirdly, every kid is different. Find their formula and help them thrive. Some kids, like mine, come out hard charging & stubborn but never pausing. Others will have a different wavelength. Don't try to overcomplicate their time either. Sometimes just hanging with mom and dad, or dad and dad, or mom and mom is enough for them. Other times, a spatula can be an absolute wonder.
Lastly, you cannot do it alone. Lean on your parents, your spouse's parents, your daycare (if you can afford it), the local playground. Use all the tools at your disposal to get by and out. That means in the moment too. Take a mental breath, step outside and catch some fresh air. That doesn't mean leave your kid alone for 20 minutes. That just means making sure you take care of yourself so you can take care of them.
Good luck, have fun and don't be too hard on yourself.
I've been privy to some of the model iterations Midjourney has gone through on their Discord and in a series of a few weeks, they've made substantial gains on generating faces from their V1, V2 and V3 models.
Within a short amount of time, this will no longer be a complaint.
In relation to OP's post, I guess Reddit can't guarantee this won't also turn into DeepFake territory so they're banning it outright.
Please.
To think there are only positives in this change is a naive approach of the future. Sure, there will be some benefits but we are in for a world of hurt if we maintain our current social structures (at least in the US) and decimate the working population.
What's the carbon displacement for wasted time on those tasks? It might be brow raising.
The fact that it's China Telecom speaks volumes to this being a suspected route hijack. It's possible it was just an error on the Swiss colo companies part but somehow I doubt that.
