Shitty AI art hot dogs aside (seriously why do you need AI hotdog “photos”), this is kind if a nothing article. They even rightfully point out, “The study has limitations. For example, the research does not prove direct cause and effect.” Correlation is not causation and all that. It boils down to have things in moderation, including processed meats. Something health experts have been saying for decades.
I use magic earth, and it is inaccurate with traffic most of the time. Still, it is accurate sometimes, and most of the time I just need the turn by turn because I already know where there will be traffic on most days.
I’m the one that reported that comment. You were being unnecessarily rude, and have been to other people on here
Welp, I regrettably checked this out. Much like other folks have said, this is just a platform for hate speech and conspiracy theorists. Do not recommend
So the likes of The Quartering, Babylon Bee, and JP Sears on the front page don’t bother you?
Edit: Whoops, I somehow missed Stephan fucking Molyneux
ESL means “English as a Second Language,” so no need to get snarky. LLM means “large language model”. I was complaining generally, not at you, but with other comments you made I am now less sure
100% agree, and now it is so hard to tell if the spelling oddities are an ESL thing or an LLM thing
Oh for sure, back when all he said was “here all of Tesla’s patents. Feel free to use them” I also fell for it. I honestly don’t think his views were any different, he just kept his mouth shut
I think at one point he was a software engineer. I don’t he has been that for a long time, though. This is also probably not true any longer, but he did have a knack for spotting up and coming companies and buying them.
The Cybertruck is definitely the epitome of Musk’s current “skills”
I think it is more nuanced than that. He has had a variable amount of involvement in multiple companies throughout the years, and noting when something is or is not his fault is not a bad thing.
Like I said before, he has been pretty heavily involved in Tesla since he bought the company. He notably makes a lot of decisions. SpaceX, on the other hand, is notably run by Gwynne Shotwell for a majority of decisions. He has made some design decisions, but he is pretty checked out on the day to day.
I don’t think he was never a good engineer, but I think he has not done it in so long, that he has lost those skills. Also, if the alleged amount of ketamine he does is even kind of accurate, that does not help make good decisions. He also has almost nobody he will listen to. We can see all that reflected in the decline of good ideas coming out of Tesla (again, the company he is most involved in).
Not sure what you mean. He’s always been pretty involved in Tesla designs.
You could get a phone mount for a PS controller. Just a warning though, my phone was way heavier than my Dualsense controller, so it was not comfortable to play lying down. Another benefit of using the Playstation controller is you can stream your Playstation games.
Oh, copyright is for sure fucked, but until we have UBI it is about all we have to potentially protect small artists
That is true, and they may have been doing to cover their asses, but I would bet they did the destructive method because it was faster or cheaper (or both). We will probably never know the minutia of that decision though
I would hazard a guess that the eBook did not exist for the physical books they bought. Still, that doesn’t excuse their actions, nor the bigger issues with training LLMs
Paper is a natural resource, and this literally just wasted a fuck ton. There are non-destructive scanning methods.
The books were destroyed because duplicating a work without permission is illegal
It is not illegal if you don’t distribute, which the judge ruled meant this was fair use. They destroyed the books as part of the digitizing project because it is likely faster and cheaper than non-destructive methods.
but destroying the original means that there is only one copy in the end still.
That is not how this works at all. As long as you aren’t distributing, you are well within your rights to make copies of a book you purchase.
people got really upset with them throwing away books that had multiple reprintings and were in awful condition.
That is not what is going on here, though. They bought millions of dollars of new books in order to train AI and used destructive scanning instead of non-destructive methods. It is a huge waste of resources. They could have used a non-destructive method then donated the books. But like everything involved in current AI, they chose the most wasteful method
Yeah, it’s not the most egregious example, and I think the combo of bad Photoshop and generative AI is probably close to the mark. That being said, if an outlet uses AI, I am far less likely to trust them in general.
