I guess better late than never. I wasn’t particularly against the guy until he started heavily backing Donald and brought so many people so clearly down the wrong road. Like it’s so obvious we were going to be here and have been here with Donald. His entire life story has been scamming people for his own personal interest and now Rogan got too close, fooled a lot of people and now they are just pissed they let themselves get tricked.

Aim for their sore throat I guess, I heard it helps and they seem like they may be into it.

Well now I know too much about your fetishes.

Ah that makes more sense then.

Makes sense, I’ve gathered that the majority of Lemmy is very angry about anything AI, or I guess anything maybe AI related.

I mean people are pretty tired of yet another distro, but at least this person has some ideas. It looks to be more than just theming on a major base distro. Idk about the rest but I enjoy people exercising their freedom, it’s not called FOSS for no reason.

Style reminds me of This

What’s up with the downvotes? I swear people on Lemmy can be so friendly and so intensely grumpy at the same time. Anyways, happy for you and you exercising your freedom. I’ll give it a look out of curiosity.

I just have tap water in mine, because I’ma tap that.

Anyone seen the 1976 film Network. It’s so accurate, and this is before the internet and AI.

Game theory, every player is playing to their own interest and as the old saying goes, it’s the nail that hangs out that gets hammered. It’s not until there’s a critical mass that the general population starts feeling safe enough to join in. Most people are just trying their best in the system and waiting for someone with enough inertia to come around, with enough will and force to feel safe joining in to changing things. This is also why the main tactic of the system is to divide and conquer, to never allow a critical mass to form.

We can’t wait for others, we must be the change we want to see in the world. The others will follow when the time is right. In this process first you will be ignored, then you will be laughed at, then they will actively fight you, and if you can maintain then you win. It’s a lot of sacrifice to be the one, to be that snowflake that causes an avalanche.

The world has been ending since it began. Even the first pope was sure the rapture was in his lifetime. As a player in the human experience you definitely have more than a few options on your hands. You can play the nihilistic absurdist, the hero, the villain, and any other character in-between.

The media isn’t for being informed, it’s for entertainment, that quick shot of rage bait and then off to the new thing to be enraged by. Doubly so when someone rich and powerful is heavily encouraging a change of topic.

When do I get off? Hopefully at the same time as you.

Every rule in every military across the world is because someone did it, and there are some really dumb rules written down. Stuff like don’t store lead acid batteries upside down.

I’m not sure the situation is so simple. To steal art one has to breach copyright. If a model is trained on data that does not breach copyright then nothing was stolen. So long as the dataset was lawful then to me it is just another tool humans can use to make creative and interesting, thought provoking works with.

We can get into more creative models like ones trained on physics that are then used to create intricate and organic structures. Would that also be theft?

Your final statement is problematic, particularly towards really anything else. We should be clear about unlawful uses or what I would consider inhuman uses aka uses that remove humanity from humanity and uses that are indeed creative or even beneficial for humanity.

We shouldn’t just start lumping things together and assuming it’s all bad like children or people lacking the mental capacity to understand reality actually isn’t so simple. You’re intelligent and you can get past prejudice and bigotry of a modality.

I appreciate that. This was the early days so to speak when people were just beginning to play around, before the current flood of content which was never touched by any person aka the beginning of the dead internet. Personally if it’s a person making something with intent then it’s just another tool but if it’s fully automated aka someone just told an agent to go make content and that’s it then I’m also not a fan.

Every time there’s been a new tool it’s been degraded, like for a long time photography wasn’t considered for art, and then digital art or CGI wasn’t considered art and so on.

There’s still some possibilities here for making actual art. Like if a person replicated AI generated art well enough it triggered people because they thought it was AI but was fully human generated then that could be an intriguing art piece. Either that or probing the neural nets, finding their behavior or where they break or have odd behavior would also be interesting. Like in the early days just toggling one pixel in an image to a specific value would be enough to destroy image recognition which is intriguing.

This is from 2023, the writing, audio, and animations were done by a person. They did use generated images though. AI wasn’t that capable then, for reference the first will AI Smith spaghetti video was released around this time.

Seemed needless to me, but whatever floats their boat. For what its worth the video was written and spoken by an actual person. They did generate the images for the video but animated it. This is pretty old relatively speaking, AI wasn’t as capable 3+ years ago. That first Will Smith spaghetti video was released around this time to give you some context.
