For laymen who might not know how GANs work:

Two AI are developed at the same time. One that generates and one that discriminates. The generator creates a dataset, it gets mixed in with some real data, then that all of that gets fed into the discriminator whose job is to say "fake or not".

Both AI get better at what they do over time. This arms race creates more convincing generated data over time. You know your generator has reached peak performance when its twin discriminator has a 50/50 success rate. It's just guessing at that point.

There literally cannot be a better AI than the twin discriminator at detecting that generator's work. So anyone trying to make tools to detect chatGPT's writing is going to have a very hard time of it.

Depends! If you consider chocolate to be food derived from the cocoa bean, then white chocolate is chocolate because it's made of cocoa butter without the solids!

The powdery stuff you call cocoa is what's left over once you get rid of the cocoa butter. So if you feel that cocoa solids are required for something to be classified as chocolate... Then no, it's not chocolate.

Sorry, rereading it and I think I was unclear. I'm saying that this community moved from tumblr, to twitter, and now to mastodon. I quit this community at the twitter stage when it became too detrimental to my mental health.

But this community uses moderation as one tool to enforce cliques, rather than to actually prevent abuse. Or, you could say, this community has a history of using moderation as a form of abuse.

Alongside that, this community has a history of inciting witch hunts over the most petty things. And they will be happy about what the moderators are doing within their own clique.

I remember artist tumblr in the 00's. Participated, then moved over to twitter in the 10's before I got sick of it. This looks like another continuation of that same community.

They can do what they like, but this reeks of the exact same kind of drama and mobs that, for example, drives fanartists to attempting suicide because they painted a character's skin a shade too light. (Zamii070, if you're curious.)

These sorts of communities form an echo chamber that, frankly, can be absolutely horrible for kids. Yeah, they can do what they want in their house, but I'm staying far the fuck away.

sometimes I don't want to bother looking for alternative sources....

Tho yes, that does push me to do it more often.

God I want to do that but for some reason Prime Video on my laptop is locked to like 480p on "highest quality" but when I cast to my TV on my phone it's full HD. Like what gives??

Do they hate that I'm on Linux using Firefox or something?? I tried Chrome and had the same issue.

Tried searching for the answer but all the Reddit posts say "it's just your slow ass Internet"!! Nah man I'm on fibre.

(Edit: though I do use my HDMI for videos I have on my hard drive ofc, but sometimes I don't want to bother looking for alternative sources....)

Over the last five years, I'd click a link to Stack Overflow while googling, but I've never made an account because of the toxicity.

But yeah, chatGPT is definitely the nail in the coffin. Being able to give it my code and ask it to point out where the annoying bug is... is amazing.

I'm no professional, but if you're concerned about it and it's available to you, maybe try some sort of anger management class?

But: imo, one of the best lessons I've learned is that you're not defined by your emotions and thoughts, only how you act on them. Getting angry about being angry would just feed a big ole anger loop. So if you can identify what makes you angry, you can take however much control you can over your environment to reduce it, and don't beat yourself up for feeling a certain way!

Interesting. An API call shouldn't return HTML, since it's essentially just a proxy to query a DB for some value, so I can see why they'd think you're web scraping. Might want to try a different API?

But yeah, most APIs have a fee associated with them, so web scraping gets around that. You could fully commit to it, nothing wrong with that. If you're web scraping though, I'd definitely do some studying up on how the DOM works. Once you learn to navigate it, things get a lot easier. https://www.w3schools.com/whatis/whatis_htmldom.asp

Good luck!!

Reduce scope. Look at what you're doing and cut out all the "nice to haves" until you have just the "need to haves".

For a behindthevoiceactors clone, the bare minimum would be a simple web page with a search bar for actor names. You could use a query string in the URL that gets passed to an IMDb API call that then renders a simple page that just has the actor's name as the header and a plain table listing shows/movies/games and their role(s) and years.

Everything on top of that, pretty CSS, pictures, hyperlinks to other places, that's all fluff that you can add on after you're already "done" having created a minimum viable product. And at the nice to have stage, you can put it down at any point without feeling like it's unfinished.

I like having an off day once a week from my Vyvanse, personally. On a day off where I've got nothing important to do.

Like, I let myself have an ADHD day, where I'd normally be beating myself up over my self perception of being lazy with deadlines hanging over my head, but now it's fine because I actually got things done the other 6 days of the week.
