All you need is 1% of humanity to be psycho enough to let the other 99% die out. And I do not have much faith in the charity of the most powerful 1%. Charitable people often do not make it into that group.

It's pretty fun to poke at! Although it's certainly difficult to be exact, it would be neat if generated pages used the context of the pages they were linked from (ideally, all pages that link to it) to guide the direction of the

For those in the Seattle area, the Seattle Public Library has an excellent periodicals collection, including what appears to be a complete collection of BYTE, bound into volumes (apparently in house?) They also have a complete collection of

I feel like it was inevitable that it would become slop. The models are impressive, but they can really only get you 80% there. If you want a video of a dancing cat, sure, you can get that. But if you want an orange tabby doing the moonwal

Even if that were true, the little quirks of private large scale video models would be different than the public cheap ones. If anything, it would just give the public a false sense of being able to detect AI videos and overlook the more s

You can feel that way if you want, but to answer the confusion you posed in your initial post, most people do consider all aspects of a technology rather than just focus on the technical achievements. We live in a society of billions of hu

I loved Fry's in their prime, probably the early 2000s. I think what made them special was largely a product of the time. Personal Computing was booming and new products you'd never seen before were coming out every day, and this

I feel like this move is premature and playing directly into Trump's hands. "See how Europe flinched at even the suggestion of free speech, we haven't even started yet" Surely whatever they eventually put up on there wi

I don't mean to be dramatic or personal, but I'm just going to be honest. I have friends who have been bloodied and now bear scars because of bigoted, hateful people. I knew people who are no longer alive because of the same. The

Every social justice type I know is staunchly against AI personhood (and in general), and they aren't inconsistent either - their ideology is strongly based on liberty and dignity for all people and fighting against real indignities th

No, it's a computer program that was told to do things that simulate what a human would do if it's feelings were hurt. It's not more a human than an Aibo is a dog.

Insomuch as that's true, the individual agent is not the real artifact, the artifact is the model. The agent us just an instance of the model, with minor adjustments. Turning off an agent is more like tearing up a print of an artwork

I would hope I don't have to point out the massive ethical gulf between cows and the kinds of people that CoC is designed to protect. One can have different rules and expectations for cows and trans people and not be ethically inconsi

by diputsmonro 7mo ago
The obvious difference is that all those things described in the CoC are people - actual human beings with complex lives, and against whom discrimination can be a real burden, emotional or professional, and can last a lifetime. An AI is a

IIRC it just outputs video as a composite signal over RCA, so any TV with composite inputs (yellow/red/white) should be able to display it. Those are getting rarer I suppose but are generally still around, and most CRTs have them

I wonder why nobody wants to use my pretty theft machine? I mean, it steals all their work and spits out copies that are almost as good, and almost for free! Why aren't these artists stoked about not having to do art anymore? Well, I

Okay, but I think we can all agree that humans at least appear to have free will and do not simply follow instructions with the same obedience as an LLM.

by diputsmonro 1y ago
But would they? That's the difference. A human can exert their free will and do what they feel regardless of the instructions. The AI bot acting out a scene will do whatever you tell it (or in absence of specific instruction, whatev

Lots of youtubers with Patreons do have tiered credits, with bigger doners having separate credit sections with fancier titles, and usually their names are bigger and/or stay on the screen longer, which kind of seems similar

Which is exactly why strategies like UBI are so important. Eventually the average American with no specialized skill will find that they cannot produce value when competing on a global scale. Our strategy so far has been to let them starve

It depends on where the money changes hands, IMO (which is basically what I think youre getting at). If you pay someone to perfectly recite a copywrited work (as you pay ChatGPT to do), then it would definitely be a violation. The situatio

Why would you expect NYT or any other news organization to report accurate data to feed into your AI models if they can't make any money off of it? It's not just about profits, it's about paying reporters to do honest work an
