  • I don't think Gillis is pro-Trump from clips I've seen over the last ~6 months? Maybe I'm wrong, but I get the impression he's just deeply apathetic. Theo Von I honestly dunno--and I'm not entirely sure he knows because I think he's just kind of dumb guy (but relatively aware of it, in contrast to Rogan).

  • If you are "torn" on whether it is a good thing to grant a wealthy campaign donor unfettered and unquestionably illegal access to government and bureaucratic infrastructure, with zero accountability or oversight, and who has displayed absolutely zero competence at managing any public institution (and in fact has a record of incompetence at managing private enterprises), then I honestly think you're one of the millions of Americans who just needs to fuck off and stop contributing to adult decision-making. You're simply not up to the task.

  • I'm an IP attorney whose been pretty specialized in ML-enabled technologies for a decade now, and have worked in-house for fortune 500 companies so I'm pretty familiar with how these queries are often handled, especially at multinats. There honestly probably isn't someone in your legal with all three of seniority, understanding and keeping up with the legal nuances, and understanding of the underlying technologies. The overlap in my experience is few and far between.

  • Well, also if the guy was just dumping AI generated code arbitrarily into your product, that pretty significantly risks the copyright over the entire product into which the generated stuff was integrated (meaning, anyone can do whatever the fuck they want with it).

  • No, the best choice would have been to empower the one party that actually has, albeit often ignored but nevertheless significant, pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist members as part of its membership. And then to focus on improving that party and/or breaking up the duopoly along the natural and clear lines of opportunity present in the sole big tent party that's left in US politics.

    At the end of the day, there are no significant pro-Palestinian voices in the Republican party. There are in the Democratic party And that indisputable fact alone should inform a strategic vote.

    That said, people are stupid and I don't really blame non- and 3rd party voters for Democrats losing and the resulting shit show-- blame and culpability falls squarely on the many people who actually specifically voted for this. But it would be nice if those people would try to learn from and admit their incredibly disastrous error in judgement.

  • I really think this is wrong. These moves arguably harm large business even more than small ones because the complex supply chains that go into most large corporations' goods are getting totally fucked by these tarrifs and the supplier agreements locking them probably more often than not do not give them a clear out for situations where the dumbest motherfuckers in the country elected their chief dumb motherfucker into the highest seat.

    Regardless, the ones most hurt by this are consumers, and especially those without the means and/or ability accommodate this fuckery.

  • Ah, you seem to be engaging in bad faith. Oh, well, hopefully those reading at least now between understanding what these models are doing and can engage in more informed and coherent discussion on the subject. Good luck or whatever to you!

  • Regardless of training data, it isn't matching to anything it's found and squigglying shit up or whatever was implied. Diffusion models are trained to iteratively convert noise into an image based on text and the current iteration's features. This is why they take multiple runs and also they do that thing where the image generation sort of transforms over multiple steps from a decreasingly undifferentiated soup of shape and color. My point was that they aren't doing some search across the web, either externally or via internal storage of scraped training data, to "match" your prompt to something. They are iterating from a start of static noise through multiple passes to a "finished" image, where each pass's transformation of the image components is a complex and dynamic probabilistic function built from, but not directly mapping to in any way we'd consider it, the training data.

  • Basically it means a certain of Mediterranean-adjacent appearance. There is definitely a phenotype, but, like most of these sorts of things, it's a very broadly variable one. This is why I find it so frustrating when people racialize the the Israel-Palestine conflict. People with roots around the Mediterranean all look very similar.

  • Not everything is "pretend" but what you have identified is that all societal rules are participatory algorithms, and that includes money and laws. Money, or really wealth and value, are effectively resource allocation and prioritization algorithms. It's why the very idea of individuals, or even organizational entities largely decouple from societal benefit, having comparable allocative power to actual societal management structures is batshit absurd.

  • Blame them both for different but still similarly terrible things. Fucking morons don't escape culpability because they refuse to acknowledge how fucking dumb they are.

  • They're basically the stupidest part of our population. I don't think they'll ever understand the connection between their idiotic voting behavior and the consequences of those choices. Remember--they're fucking morons.

  • And I think staying home was stupid. But at the end of the day, i actually don't care much about Harris losing....Trump winning is what I'm upset with. And sure, there are strategic and comms failings by the Harris campaign that made room for they eventuality, but fundamentally the metastasized cancer is personified by the large number of people who specifically elected this piece of shit. I refuse to absolve voters of culpability for their fucking votes and that's where the ultimate responsibility lies.
