Please tell me how an AI model can distinguish between “inspiration” and plagiarism then.
[...] they just spit out something that it “thinks” is the best match for the prompt based on its training data and thus could not make this distinction in order to actively avoid plagiarism.
I'm not entirely sure what the argument is here. Artists don't scour the internet for any image that looks like their own drawings to avoid plagiarism, and often use photos or the artwork of others as reference, but that doesn't mean they're plagiarizing.
Plagiarism is about passing off someone else's work as your own, and image-generation models are trained with the intent to generalize - that is, being able to generate things it's never seen before, not just copy, which is why we're able to create an image of an astronaut riding a horse even though that's something the model obviously would've never seen, and why we're able to teach the models new concepts with methods like textual inversion or Dreambooth.
I thought "Raddix Zephyr" might've been inspired by the sorting algorithm, but that's not the name of its creator nor the algorithm, which is actually spelled "Radix".
All those -eigh names are pretty funny though. Your kid ain't a horse! It's not gonna neigh!
And I thought my idea of naming my kid Asrah was already pretty out there lol
Honestly you still could believe it from a secular interpretation of the bible. Many of the verses talking about the antichrist are clearly warning about the rise of a fascist strongman, and unsurprisingly Trump fits them perfectly.
He actively sought out confrontation and killed two people after he got the confrontation he wanted. The right idolizes him because he's a murderer and buddied up to white supremacists, and now he's pandering to them for money and affirmation, and runs away as soon as he faces any criticism.
So no, we don't dislike him for being white. We dislike him for being just like any other fascist grifter who fetishizes violence.
I just find it interesting how some love to blame the US first for issues in other countries.
It is a known pattern. Even the article itself points out the U.S. has a hand in the current crisis:
The nation of 11 million is experiencing its worst economic crisis since the collapse of the Soviet bloc in the 1990s due to fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, the recent tightening of US sanctions and structural weaknesses in the economy.
In early 2019 bittorrent's website views fluctuated between ~6M to ~9M. Now it's around 3M to 4M.
In early 2019 utorrent's visits fluctuated between ~26M to ~75M. Now it sits around 25M to 21M.
The fact that there were far more captures in early 2019 for both of them might be an indication that this was their peak, and while visits have reduced since then they're far from dying.
Streaming services may be part of the reason, though I also think it's because many games and software have switched to freemium & microtransactions so spending money is optional, along with the fact that free and open source alternatives to mainstream software have become more robust and popular. When I was a kid I torrented Sony Vegas, but now that's simply not necessary since we have DaVinci Resolve.
I'd guess the file in question was from a drawing software like Clip Studio Paint, where the layers and panels would be stored separately so you could corrupt just one of them.
