Meaning is negotiated by the speaker and hearer, or in this case between whoever is sharing vs. seeing the image. This happens based on the context and and conversational implicatures. For example, if there's some element in the picture, you take it as related to the message being conveyed.
And that’s the problem: AI tools don’t think. They don’t understand what is being made, why it’s being made, who is making it, and for what reasons.
And more importantly, the AI tools don't understand the message being conveyed.
Uncontrollable AI is the next moderation nightmare
The issue is not the uncontrollable AI. The issue are lazy and greedy companies expecting moderation to work without human intervention. It doesn't, for the reason I mentioned above. And that issue precedes image generators. Here's an example of that:
#║##║## Happy date, hanging around at the McD's
▓ ▓
/o)/o\
If I posted it in a hypothetical forum with state-of-art automatic moderation, no human mods, and that had a rule like "you can't mock fascists here", I'd be clearly violating the rules of that forum (as it mocks Mussolini) and getting away with it because no bot will get what I'm conveying through that - bur plenty humans would. Did I use Stable Diffusion for that? Fuck no, it's just ASCII art.
AI is a tool for humans to use. It's a damn good tool. But only a fool would leave decisions like moderation up to AI. Including the legitimacy of its own output.
Why Isn't Linux Mainstream? 5 Flaws That Need Fixing
With that, the author implies that it's of utmost importance to make Linux mainstream. Is it? I don't know and I'm not assuming.
The Landscape Evolves Too Quickly
Not a flaw.
For example, look at the biggest name in desktop Linux: Ubuntu. They release a new version every six months where each version is named after the year and month of release (e.g. 14.10, 15.04, 15.10, etc). Contrast that with Windows (every 3-5 years) and OS X (every 1-2 years).
LTS. Debian Stable.
Stopped reading here because the author is clearly ignorant on what he's talking about.
When I proposed that idea I might've underrated the second issue, but re-reading the thread I think that you're right - and the tweaks might do the trick.
The animation quality is... meh, good enough to be enjoyable but no masterwork. Still watching it regardless, I like the story, it isn't like I didn't watch series that got it worse. (cough Hoshi no Samidare cough cough. Amazing story, deserved more than a fucked up low budget animation.)
Here in Paraná there's a rather old law against that too, from 2007. Back then the concern was phone companies and credit card companies doing it, but the law was worded in a surprisingly sensible way, so it protects customers against online roach motels too. I'll coarsely translate it from Portuguese, (sourced from p203):
It seems that the governor back then was already expecting companies to rule-lawyer and say "ackshyually we aren't offering [service], we're offering [same service under different name], so it doesn't apply to us", so the way that article #3 was worded basically lists examples, not an exhaustive list. As much as I hate that specific governor I can't help but think that he did a good job with this law.
The problem that I see is that Shinobu is playing two roles, both important but neither done flawlessly: gathering info for the series, and episode discussion threads. As such, I'm going to suggest a different approach:
Create a new comm called !anime_series@ani.social. The only user allowed to post/comment there should be the bot.
Once per series, the bot would create in !anime_series a thread containing: JP and EN names of the series, cover pic, short description, external links (MAL, Kitsu, etc.), and a reference code for that series (for example "56498" or "bokunopico".
For each thread created in the !episode_discussion, the bot would add a new comment for the thread in !anime_series. That comment would contain Episode ## discussion: [!episode_discussion@ani.social](insert link here).
The bot would not post threads automatically in other comms. Instead, it would look for posts or comments pinging it, followed by the reference code and episode number. Like this: !shinobu@ani.social 56498 01.
When the bot finds those three things, it edits the relevant comment in the relevant !anime_series@ani.social thread, adding a link to the thread where it found it. Like this: Episode ## discussion: [!episode_discussion@ani.social](insert link here), [!anime@lemmy.ml](insert link here). The bot would also answer the post/comment pinging it, saying episode discussion added to the database! [link](insert link here) or similare.
I believe that this would be the best approach, because:
There's a central repository for information about the series, inside Lemmy. If you want to look for new series to follow, or for a discussion about a specific episode, you go there and follow the links provided.
The most laborious part of creating disc threads is to gather external links. The bot would do it for us.
There's at least one discussion thread about each episode, created automatically. It's also in a centralised place, so nobody can complain "waah bot spam". You're only seeing bot content if you're fine with it.
Even if you're really sloppy creating a discussion thread elsewhere, as long as someone in it pings the bot correctly, people will find it.
You won't see content for series that nobody is watching, unless you follow the bot comms.
Is this going to amount to more than “I’ll be a little nicer to my servants this time so I don’t get killled”?
Yes, it will. She's still selfish and a bit unaware (although less than before), and we know it from her thoughts, but her whole behaviour flips 180°. With people then thinking that she's some beacon of wisdom, when her actions are motivated by short-sighted motivations like "I remember X in the revolution! Better not piss him off this time!" or similar.
Rather good adaptation, at least for the first episode.
Mia caused her own demise, by shunning away the people who would actually help her, or creating enemies for no good reason. Then she gets the chopping block. The End. And then she comes back to 8 years earlier, while there's still time for her to actually solve the issues that would lead to her demise.
I strongly recommend this series for people who like redemption/"second chance" stories, otome, or just some good old comedy - at least the manga and the novel are cute and fun.
