they charge money to generate his style of art without compensating him.

That's really the big thing, not just here but any material that's been used to train on without permission or compensation. The difference is that most of it is so subtle it can't be picked out, but an artist style is obviously a huge parameter since his name was being used to call out those particular training aspects during generations. It's a bit hypocritical to say you aren't stealing someone's work when you stick his actual name in the prompt. It doesn't really matter how many levels the art style has been laundered, it still originated from him.

Where their creativity lies at the moment seems to be a controlled mixing of previous things. Which in some areas works for the definition of creativity, such as with artistic images or some literature. Less so with things that require precision to work, such as analysis or programming. The difference from LLMs and humans in using past works to bring new things to life is that a human is actually (usually) thinking throughout the process on what adds and subtracts. Right now the human feedback on the results is still important. I can't think of any example where we've yet successfully unleashed LLMs into the world confident enough of their output to not filter it. It's still only a tool of generation, albeit a very complex one.

What's troubling throughout the whole explosion of LLMs is how safety of the potentials is still an afterthought, or a "we'll figure it out" mentality. Not a great look for AGI research. I want to say if LLMs had been a door to AGI we would have been in serious trouble, but I'm not even sure I can say it hasn't sparked something, as an AGI that gains awareness fast enough sure isn't going to reveal itself if it has even a small idea of what humans are like. And LLMs were trained on apparently the whole internet, so...

Funny meme, but just seeing this I recall Aragorn's, "...you fell...", and it still gets me. That's why it's an epic movie.

This didn't work well in the movie Roxanne.

Hallucinations come from the weighting of training to come up with a satisfactory answer for the output. Future AGI or LLMs guided by such would look at the human responses and determine why the answers weren't good enough, but current LLMs can't do that. I will admit I don't know how the longer memory versions work, but there's still no actual thinking, it's possibly just wrapping up previous generated text along with the new requests to influence a closer new answer.

I guess they had to do something comparable to the person/people in the observation window for TNG intro. Adding people or activity in a scene is the next jump up from greeble to add realism.

Much more than watching.

I just pointed out it was incorrect. It could be someone who doesn't know English well, or a ChatGPT generated article, or maybe translated badly. That doesn't make it fine from a factual perspective.

I will say that 99% of the posts I tend to see from someone who apologizes for their English being a second language are much better than many Americans who post their ramblings. I don't care much about spelling or grammar, if the point gets across. However in a published article with science facts, I do have a bit higher standard, regardless of the writer or (lack of) editor.

That's pure lithium in those videos. Lithium-ion batteries have a very small percentage of lithium in them. If batteries reacted like that they'd be a nuclear bomb when firefighters dowse them with tons of water to minimize the heat - the water doesn't put out the fire nor cause more burning, it serves to allow the reaction to complete without burning everything else. This is actually a common technique for many chemical fires, the water is just removing part of the heat in vaporization.

Long term water exposure is bad for them though, but not directly because it starts a fire. Salt water can short the battery out and increase a fire risk though, so that's true enough.

If that's what they meant (and I'm not convinced it is) then it was also worded badly. Now I wonder how cars are transported - if gas/diesel ones are indeed at empty and if EVs are unplugged to reduce any overheating/shorting. For the latter, it's how phones and batteries are shipped, not assembled and low/no charge.

"The fires then are hotter because there’s a lot more fuel inside an electric car battery because the battery cells are densely packed. It also takes a lot more water to put the fire out."

That's terribly wrong. More accurate: "Because of the materials they are made of, electric car batteries burn hotter and are harder to put out." There's not "more fuel", wth?

Most PET doesn't make it back into the loop. There can even be more demand for rPET than there is supply, which will definitely affect places like AU that mandate rPET use. There is also the problem of maintaining the needed quality of the material throughout the loop, as some PET products require higher standards, so some rPet drops out eventually. Even here there isn't a perfect system. I'd guess that aluminum, a similar "endlessly recyclable" material, has the same issues.

The real problem is that the first "R", "Reduce (consumption)" was quickly forgotten in a consumer world. Add to that planned obsolescence and it's no wonder how we got here.

This isn't really about the tool but the general idea of what to move. Like many I don't feel most of my posts alone were that valuable, but what was lost was the chain of conversation that they were part of. I had requested and received my data from Reddit after a while and looking through it I realized this. I suppose I could weed through the Excel file (!!) and grab longer comments that I've made in ten years of discussion, and it's always there to search if a memory is sparked, but I see no personal reason to dump it somewhere else.

I guess this is more a caution to not use a tool to mass spam just because you can. Not all posts are worth repetition, especially out of context.

It kind of kills the whole "alien invasion for resources" trope that every movie and book uses. Not only is there much more out there before they even get to us, it's pure and not full of plastic.

I looked through several different ways (Kbin and a few Lemmy instances) and don't see downvotes. Both Lemmys don't even show downvotes, and Kbin has zero down. Are you on an app?

Being open source is a huge advantage though. Plenty of commercial proprietary systems have failed terribly because they only had their own security eyes on things. Just pointing how many separate large companies have had client info and passwords stored in plain text on servers. Anyone in IT knows better, and yet... But also open source is as good as the number of people reviewing it though, so it's potential, not guarantee.

Kirk had a cup as well. Sulu was drinking tea on the Excelsior when it got hit by the Praxis wave. I've seen them with drinks in other scenes. The bridge isn't a restricted area for refreshments during duty.

I couldn't do better than Wikipedia.

"Yeah, you guys shouldn't be doing that. Anyway..."

It's also used in business. Six sigma is the holy grail of "close to perfection".
