"Add to all the broken basics, the fact that your data is now locked away in a vault that will absolutely disappear at some point in the not-too-distant future, and it just makes no sense at all." Who cares? Why do you want to rec

I don't understand the issue here. The author of the post is mad because people have the choice to not publicly discuss things? Why do they owe the author their conversations? Is this AI/data scraping related and the author is mad

It's the same thing: you're entering input into a system and expecting output. I just summed up your post.

I did. It's trying to play off randomness as art, hence the generative part, and trying to subtly relate that to AI through use of abstract artists like Pollock. It's also not new. If you've taken any modern art history class

by iteygib 2y ago
I respectfully disagree. At the end of the day, generative art is the same thing as googling an image to search for the end user, in as your aren't creating anything, but rather, you are asking for something to be produced for you base

This is the correct answer. It was taken as an assault on what everyone grew up with and learned their particular trade on (and still may use). It's also a bad comparison on Apple's part. An ipad is another creative tool and provi

If social media was ever regulated, it would have to (and should be, IMO) done from the angle of the financial regulation. If social media is compared to a marketplace, then the marketplace can be regulated to ensure financial health of the

'Gospel' means you don't have evidence for something or can't prove it practically, meaning it relies on story/word of mouth, which is why it's generally associated with religion and not science (or should not

It doesn't matter whether a source likes you or not. It matters if what they are reporting is factual and verifiable. If you only go with sources that say nice things about you, then you're biased and are living in a bubble of you

So your argument against their argument is that you don't like their coverage. Ok, thanks for explaining that.

What is naive about the point? And what is your argument? You don't make one to read. To me, this is the same thing we all lived through in the 90s in America when particular political parties were blaming video games for violence: ht

Those aren't factual though, those are one just one side of an opinionated argument. Social media can also be argued to have positive values. IE, I would argue that most kids use social media not because of being addicted, but because

It depends on what the change is. I wouldn't approve states trialing slavery. I don't agree with the social media law as well. It's a cultural tool, so let parents dictate what they want their kids to see or use. If anything,

Any kind of search can be deemed constitutional if it goes through a warrant process, which is the point of warrants. This story is less about the how the information was taken and more about whether or not the warrant process and 4th Amend

Humans/life don't need data. Life survives off of experience and evolutionary pressures. Data is a watered-down/digitized form of experience meant as a replication of that experience, the same way you can hear/analyze mu

Those are tools humans use to created output directly to speed up a process. The equivalent argument for AI would be if the typewriter wrote you a novel based on what you asked it to write, and then everyone else's typewriter might cre

In this case I would say AI is the crocodile, the same as all life is. It's specializing (or becoming specialized) in something, which is prediction, in the same way a human (or any life that shows the same definitions of intelligence

by iteygib 3y ago
I think that is my overall point though - we created a system (AI) based on how we see one aspect of a particular organ or system (brain, cortex, etc.), and, in this case, labeled intelligence as 'predictive behavior', and so deve

I agree with the notion that governments shouldn't be able to coerce communication companies to echo their own positions. However, if they use a built in function of the software (like a 'delete comment' button) to moderate t

To me, it is one of those things like defining what 'art' is, as in creating a model in our heads around a concept. We take our definitions and then use those to construct models like AI that simulate our model well enough. In oth

How does evolutionary instinct factor into the system model? Flight or fight responses, reflexes, etc. 'Thinking' does have consequences in terms of evolutionary survival in some circumstances, as in spending too much time deliber

I feel it's essentially what a library is. There is a public or private cost behind it (like taxes to pay for it), but for all intents and purposes, the information inside of it is 'free' from the standpoint of the sheer amou

Paraphrasing, but I do agree with the "information should be free but someone's time should not be" statement. How to properly execute and balance that though is the hard part

I would say even that is part of the problem. AI on a cultural level is based on the participation of subset of humanity: internet users, of which there are varying degrees of involvement (power users versus the email checkers, etc.), so wh

It's essentially the phenomenon of less genetic diversity as massive repetitive inbreeding takes over. SEO, AI, etc. are streamlined cultures made to maximize attraction and revenue, akin to over breeding a once successful genetic trai
