The fear of the general populace is itself a propaganda campaign In the agricultural era, which was the most violent time in human history, we accepted any beggars that came to our front door. Now we live in the safest time in human history

I agree, but the reaction to AI is making me realize that there are a whole bunch of people who don’t know how to find meaning in their lives

The reason why anyone argues against local and free AI is because they want corporations to have control over the general population. America is a corporate hellhole.

The discretization of those tokens can be manipulated to get any result you want. If it meaningfully benefits the AI to have a more fine-grained discretization, then you can do that. AI only compresses as much as we want it to. I understand

The fact that machine learning can learn highly detailed patterns is the very reason why AI is so useful. So what you’re saying doesn’t really make much sense

Looking through these it’s crazy to find out that The Iliad is only 1 of like 5 original texts on the Trojan war. We’re reading book 2 of a 5 book series

Hikaru Nakamura had a good comment on famous chess moves like this: All the famous chess moves are famous sacrifices, genius saves, and last minute checkmates, but when you plug the games into stockfish you find out that these scenarios onl

By design or by accident It’ll happen by evolution. Just complex systems trending the way they trend.

IMO this is the greatest argument against AI as technofascism. The general public seems to believe that AI will usher in technofascism by claiming corporate ownership of AI output: the independent entrepreneur will be unable to compete agai

I use local send when KDE connect isn’t working for me. The big problem with these is that you basically have to spend a minute or two setting up both devices to send.

It’s annoying because it’s scarcity for scarcity’s sake. The reality is that low depth of field cameras constrict the actors and make them unable to perform naturally. Blocking out the background is also just hyper-convenience for the audie

Every post about creatine wants you to drink an absurd amount of it. I tried it for 3 days and ended up with a level of diarrhea that I’ve previously never encountered without being sick

They’ve been trying their hardest to find a moat for 5 years, and nothing seems to stick. At first it seemed like access to the model could be a moat but then llama and deepseek came out. Then it seemed like the hardware requirements could

Nah. The main issue of addiction is the lack of clarity. You allow an addiction to pretend like it has a purpose and it can stick around. Reductionism is a great tool against this: reduce your addiction down to its most clear state and it l

Yes please. Algorithms should be plug-in-and-play and not endemic to the app. You should be able to take popular algorithms and plug them into any app

What he’s saying is that you need to vote with a consistent message. Voting for Bush, then voting for Obama, then voting for Trump is unlikely to make any lasting change

Choosing a different brush size (and pressing down harder or softer) means varying the range of locations that each bristle can land within, but no one cares about where each bristle lands as long as it's within the range that the arti

We can retroactively value art of the past using an individualistic philosophy, but that doesn’t change how it was valued in past. Artists of the past were considered good artists when they were capable of putting their own selves aside and

sorry for the wall of text but this is something I think about a lot so I ended up writing a lot There are a lot of reasons why the intention of the artist is a bad metric for artistic value and there’s a ton of important literature abou

What you’re talking about is found object art so I’m confused. These objects are not created by the artist at all. In fact, they were created in a factory by machines. You’re responding to the story behind it, which is also something a LLM

Yea I definitely agree that AI has definitely a problem with spam, and that spam is effecting the art world negatively

>The reality is there is very little non-individualistic art (algorithmic, AI generated etc) that has much qualitative merit Big opinions there. A large amount of art that you think comes from individual expression is often not. There ar

What concerns me is how easily the “rest of the world” is changing their opinions about what’s good. If the result isn’t good, then it isn’t good, sure. But in my experience there’s a large contingent of people, especially the youth, that a

This issue exists in art and I want to push back a little. There has always been automation in art even at the most micro level. Take for example (an extreme example) the paintbrush. Do you care where each bristle lands? No of course not. T
