Rambo larp online

Larp and online are mutually exclusive…

Working closer with China is fine, I don’t think many people will downvote that.

Denying China past (or present) crimes will usually get you downvoted.

But if I don’t know what’s scheduled for Monday morning I won’t know how late I can stay on Sunday.

Inefficiency is:

• irrelevant when we have too much energy on sunny or windy days

• not something to justify inaction

“my mind is made up”

Good thing we can have so much cheap abundant excess energy that at times it’s actually a problem for the grid!

That’s just a fancy way of saying they’re teenagers.

Why wouldn’t they? What they described is the bare minimum…

They are a transformer in the same sense ChatGPT is a transformer. And hence they do generate new content that share characteristics and patterns with existing one. It’s no clone tool. Lyrics are new. They probably follow the grammar rules of certain language, but it’s not copy paste. Chords will probably be shared, but melody is new. Etc.

Garbage in garbage out

You can’t always tell, I can’t always tell, bandcamp can’t always tell. And it’s only going to get harder.

Yes, I’m a bot. Here’s your cookie recipe!

Technically correct, the best kind of correct!

Maybe 1 of a thousand redirects actually does go to a malicious site.

Ok, if this is just a spam prevention I think it’s fine. Obviously I didn’t read the article (as tradition mandates).

That’s not how transformer neural networks work…

I disagree on all counts.

It’s not exploitative, it doesn’t exploit anyone.

It’s not trash, and if it were you wouldn’t need to regulate it because people would reject it on the merits.

The space belongs to whoever wants to create art, with whatever tools they want to do it. Gatekeeping and true Scotsman arguments are really grasping.

I don’t know what “social value” is created. A nurse or a fireman create social value. You won’t see them worrying about AI. If AI could put out fires they would definitely be interested.
