LLMs are generative AI.

Oh have I got great news for you! Both are actually true!

I think a big difference is that many people (in the US, at least) don’t choose their own fridge. Renters often have the fridge included with the home. There’s far fewer people who could reasonably inflict such a boycott.

Oh, so it only hurts the poorest and benefits those who can already afford to buy? How uplifting.

Drinks at Nazi bar, is surprised by Nazi patrons.

Stop fucking using Twitter to announce anything. “We go where the people are” is no longer an acceptable excuse for your business keeping any presence on Twitter.

Does the author assume that the reader doesn’t know what Australia is? “Australia! You know; the place with kangaroos, shrimps on barbies, and toilets that flush the other way around!”

What did you call me?

Don’t give me hope.

But what can you do at zombocom?

It wouldn’t really need to generate “significant” power. At least, not in terms of whole-home power. Something like this could easily generate and store enough power for an auxiliary system, something like overnight lighting. Basically the same principle as those solar lawn lamps, but for inside. Wire 'em all to a battery and a bunch of lights and light/motion sensors throughout the home, and you’ve got automatic nightlights that work even when the power’s out.

Check out the Elecom Huge! I think there’s a more premium model of it that has extra-smooth rollers, but I’ve got the base version and it’s smooth enough for general use. I can’t really use it for aiming in FPS games because it jitters a bit no matter what DPI setting I use (maybe something else the premium model fixes, as well), but the shape and button positions are spectacular for most other use, IMO.

I love trackballs, and I wish there was a bigger market for gaming trackball mice.

Probably how they fuel their viewbot operations.

Mushroom MUSHROOM

This might be what finally convinces me to get a Switch 2. This actually looks really good, I’m curious what team is behind this.

Nanomachines?!

Or they just installed uBlock Origin Lite, which still works for most things.

It’s important to note that to produce an AI-generated image of somebody, they do not need to exist in the training data beforehand. You can use an image as a prompt, and an AI can create new works based on that prompt, without ever referencing the person from training materials.

Most of these CSAM files are not readily available on the clearnet, and I don’t think even Elon is stupid enough to let an AI scraper run free on Tor. One would have to go significantly out of their way to locate clearnet sources of CSAM to include into the training data.

Some would say it’s a distinction without difference, but I think it’s important to understand how these AI images are actually created, if you want to adequately legislate them.

The idea that CSAM is used in training data is largely discredited. An AI doesn’t need to have actual images of nude children to generate CSAM; it knows what humans look like naked, and it knows what children look like - it fills in the gaps from there.

It doesn’t ship with GrapheneOS.
