Damn, I can’t tell if this is honest or some really deep cutting sarcasm/satire.

No one’s calling them scalies, Herald. No one. They’re just furries.

My only problem with that is that they lobotomized Google to make the AI seem valuable. Not that they weren’t going to destroy Google’s utility eventually, but, once generative AI entered the scene, it deteriorated with a quickness.

Yeah, how dare the artist get money for his song? I want my memes! /s

Generative AI, as it is being built right now, is a dead-end. It won’t get much better than it currently is (markedly worse once the next-gen is forced to scrape data that includes AI generated data) and hallucinations are always going to be the reality for them.

It’s why there’s this big push over the last couple of years to get these products to market. Not because you’re going to corner some burgeoning industry (though the hype definitely is designed to look like that), but because this is a grift now and you have to get the goods while there’s still goods to get. Need to recoup those R&D dollars somehow.

My guess is it was a trend started by Jump animes, trying to plug up as much running time to fill a half-hour time slot while not messing with the pacing of the actual show material. And then, since that’s the way it was done, shows started competing over having the best intro, leading to really fucking bangers that no one really wants to do away with, and now we’re here.

Sorry, don’t give this any attention. It’s a scam and everyone knows it.

Yes! Exactly! You had the next thought that I did.

Yes, but I knew that before watching Evil. I’ve been lucid dreaming for more than two decades now.

It’s not about the medium being used, it’s that AI doesn’t know what things are. You and I have a living library of how a 3D object works in space. When you train your artistic abilities, all you’re really doing is perfecting that internal library and learning the techniques to bring it out of your own head.

When you draw an apple, you bring forth the concept of an apple in your mind and then put that down on the page. When an AI draws an apple, it creates a statistically probable image of an apple based on its training data. It doesn’t know what an apple is, it just makes something that was good enough to pass the testing machine.

AIs make products like a dream, because just like in your dreams, there’s no reality to anchor it to. You hallucinate fairly similarly to AIs, even while waking, but your brain then adjusts its guesses using sensory inputs. Like why you can feel the pain of a stubbed toe instantly, if you see it, even though it actual takes the chemical signal some time to get to your brain. Or how your brain will synchronize the sound coming out of someone’s mouth with the image, even though that’s not what is actually happening. And an AI will never be able to do that, because all inputs are identical to it.

Look at text. Look away. Look again. Are the words the same? In a dream, they sure as fuck won’t be.

Yeah, but there’s a manufactured object that should have near perfect symmetry and doesn’t. It kind of looks symmetrical, but that’s not how symmetry works.

No, fire hose of misinformation is worse. $100m buys a few races, maybe. Fire hose breaks down an entire societies’ trust in reality.

Yeah, money is politics is bad. Also, foreign governments interfering in our elections is bad. You discovered the principle of more than one thing can be bad at once.

Yes, his goal is to break down every negotiation until Gaza is gone his political situation improves. He can’t end the war until he’s secured his political future. Cause what else is a populist fascist to do?

Oh look! Something we can make people feel embarrassed/insecure about. Let’s exploit that weakness for profit! /s

Man, fuck capitalism so hard

Well, before I edited it it read morbious, so I’m saying good enough

I know that this means that facts can be mapped onto a mobius* strip. Why or how, I don’t know. But I do know that.

Yes, and they have an ICJ trial for that. Not every news event is Israel related.

Was this on ich_iel yesterday?
