This is where I get to lol and say you don't understand AI.

When a kernel privesc vuln 0day is found and reported or caught in a dump, it gets fixed. Unless it was improperly fixed, that particular vulnerability can't be exploited again.

But when it comes to AI, a GAN's job is to take the 'vulnerability' that was 'fixed' and train on it to exploit it again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

You make a good point.

Our... culture?

Well said. In a world without stop signs, traffic lights, laws and judges, the people who think they're the most wholesome may otherwise be the most vicious perpetrators.

We like to think being a good person is an innate thing. Truth is, hatred, jealousy, lust, anger, murder, rape, violence - they're all human nature. Every single person reading this comment is capable of murder if the set of circumstances required it. Societal conditioning (including education), the environment you're raised in, social punishments, the threat of lack of freedom, and learned introspection are the factors preventing people from doing these things.

If you're the nicest person someone has met, then you lucked out, but it has very little to do with your 'true nature.' One caveat: some people seem to be born with a predisposition towards violence. Not many are born with a predisposition to anti-violence. Anti-violence is as innate in humans as the English language. Nobody's born with it, but if you're raised with it then you do it mostly subconsciously. If anti-violence was a common function of human DNA then we'd all have been eaten by lions. Just to illustrate it further, even plants innately use violence (poisons) as an anti-predation mechanism, although they (probably) aren't conscious.

I can't count the number of times in AA and NA I heard stories about people not knowing it wasn't 'normal' to get fucked up and beat their spouse until they were out of their parents house.

Yeah but this is Texas. One of the largest consumers of porn by state. Pornhub is the 6th most visited site in the US, just one spot behind Amazon. I'm sure at least some Texas politicians have decades old accounts accounts with all their favorites videos and probably paid access to creators, etc. Sure they won't be giving up their account username and telling everyone why they're doing it, but this gives them an excuse to call out the bullshit overreach and taking of frozen peaches. They can lie and say their constituents are the ones calling and demanding action. Actually a pretty smart move by Pornhub.

Reddit and Lemmy are just as much social networks as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn. You don't get to stay in 2010 just because you want to pretend you're not doing something you don't like.

Edit: accidental doublepost

Absolutely! There is no argument from me there, we're in full agreement.

There's a difference between allowing immigrants and asylum seekers to be vetted and then start a life here, and just opening our borders for anyone that wants to come in with no vetting process. One is good for the country, one is insanity that no critical thinker in any party (including unaffiliated) would support.

A couple of the faces are surprisingly good, the rest are aliens or morphed to hell. AI's processing power seems to focus on the closest few faces in a group photo.

false certainties

As a fellow father of teenagers, I agree and want to thank you for introducing me to this phrase. I didn't have a simple phrase for "doesn't care about school, thinks he will be a millionaire by age 20."

One unfortunate aspect I've found is that (n=1) a grounding involving taking away phone time besides one hour in the evening until grades improve doesn't provide all that much motivation to improve grades. An allowed hour because complete social isolation is not a helpful punishment.

It does, however, greatly improve mood and ability to focus and think through problems. I had the same false certainties as a teenager - that's a failure on us (the parents), and goes beyond smartphones, but grades are important.

'Grades are important' is not something I ever thought I would say, but as an old person I understand now... It's not the grade itself, it's what the grade represents - foresight, seeing the bigger picture, and effort and commitment to something.

Unethical twin studies are illegal for very good reasons, but I'd be curious about the results of the following hypothetical (albeit flawed) study:

• Twin 1: raised in a small village fishing/farming community that disallows internet access, but allows full unfettered access to a vast library.
• Twin 2: raised in a heavily populated coastal city with a smartphone from age 6.

A constant, instant stream of knowledge of horrific things happening hundreds or thousands of miles from you, and the barrage of social media toxicity, must come a negative mindset about the world. I don't see any way it doesn't. Sure there is wholesome and humble content on every platform, but the vast majority is either neutral or negative, and negativity generally spreads much faster than neutral or positive; it's the human condition.

It affects everyone, but your reality will be much different if it's been affecting you since you could, quite literally, remember.

I've seen multiple grassroots efforts of insightful teens who recognize this and are going dumbphone-only. Those kids are the future I'd place my bet on.

I can't even tell if this is satire.

There is already a path to citizenship and asylum. They're called citizenship and asylum.

Primates are much harder to clone than sheep. Here's an interesting article about the 2018 cloning and the 2022 cloning of which news just came out recently. https://bioethicsobservatory.org/2024/02/primate-cloning-a-step-forwards-or-backwards/45931/
