He wants them executed, that's the difference.

At this point we're just waiting for somebody to admit the truth about the emperor's new clothes.

i was amenable to the idea that a lot of labours bollocks came from relying on focus groups but were that the case then at this point one would have to ask oneself how they managed to assemble a focus group consisting exclusively of concentration camp guards

Póki nie jest pomarszczony i siwy to będzie "młody i świeży", tak jak z przytoczonym tu Bosakiem.

You expect the button teams to talk to each other?

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Guys, is it ok if after a system upgrade you don't get a login screen? #linuxondesktop

Do you realize that all of us live in places worse than Omelas?

One of my biggest gripes with leftist movements is that they don't really know what they strive for, only what they fight against. If you can't define your goals without what you oppose, you are playing on somebody else's field, and will - eventually - pan out or lose.

Yeah, but it frequently wasn't what I thought I told them to do

It's a common thing that people with money/power disregard research that goes against their "ideas". They assume that they have money/power because they are smart, or at least competent at what they do.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

Well, then let's see if I can pry one in the general presale :D

Do you have a spare ticket? ;)

So people actually think that Silksong is very hard? I mean, sure, Steel Soul is, but the regular run?

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors “With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers

"The move by the Home Office ends a growing diplomatic row between the UK and the Trump administration over fears that the UK could use the order to access the communications of US citizens." - suuuure, as if the US didn't depend on the UK to spy on its own citizens.

remember this for every AI headline you read

but also keep this one in mind, too

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

You can live assuming everyone is doing their best. But then you need to expect that some people's "best" is, frankly, terrible.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

It's maddening how many UIs are working against the user.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers. Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

@evanhill · 11m Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world
