Sarcasm tag exists, it should be used. If you’re getting downvoted because you didn’t use the tag… good. We don’t need lemmy to breed nazis/assholes

The tag does two things. One, for people like me (ND ASD) the tag allows us to actually understand what you’re trying to say. Kind of a dick move to exclude people from the conversation. Two, and far more important, it’s no longer a question if you’re being sarcastic. That doesn’t sound important until you remember that 4chan literally brought back nazis because they thought ironic nazism was hilarious. And then all the closeted nazis used that to say “none of those people are being ironic, they all mean what they’re saying” to new, properly primed recruits.

Giving money to bigots saying bigoted things doesn’t mean the bigots didn’t mean the things they said. It means they got paid for being bigots.

Harris’ support of Israel isn’t “neoconservative”, it’s textbook neoliberalism.

Trump pardoned one of his friends. He’s not going to endorse him, but he will show him respect for that.

Joking about antisemitism needs to include tone indicator tags. That’s how the nazis came back on 4chan. Let your comment give no quarter to those who hate.

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

They have three electoral college votes, so they don’t get lumped in with anyone. That’s the only federal representation they have.

*Sigh-kuh

Gorsh!

whichever state DC residents’ votes count for

God, imagine if everyone in the US got to vote for things. Wouldn’t that be nice? Yeah, but DC doesn’t have reps. They have one “delegate” for the house (no voting rights) and nothing for the senate. They can vote for their mayor, city council, and US president. End list.

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.

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.
