Awwws, Silver Tabby <3

Sounds oddly familiar… But I can’t place it, so the free market dictates that this must be a good idea.

This is what they seem to never understand:

They fixed the price of bread for years. Before getting caught, if people had asked them, “are you fixing the price of bread?”, they would have said No, and probably have acted insulted that they were even asked.

So now, if we ask them if they’re fixing any other prices, they’ll say No, and act insulted.

After last time, why should we believe anything they say at any point?

One of the busiest highways in the world, to get one of the longest tunnels in the world underneath it?

This will cost a hundred billion at least, and it won’t solve congestion.

But then when the bogs get flooded for harvest, the wolf spiders have nowhere to go that’s not water, so the people who are harvesting cranberries are like tall islands of refuge, so they swarm to the humans for safety, so the humans are covered in friendly happy relieved wolf spiders <3

Don’t worry, this one’s definitely gonna be AAAAAAAA

The truly rich tip worse than everyone else. Speaking in generalities, they’re among the most selfish, least charitable people out of all income brackets, the same way you often see the most expensive cars on the road driving the worst.

There’s definitely exceptions, but as a classy they definitely ain’t very classy.

Microsoft is a disreputable company.

This appears to be a bot post, and if you’re not a bot, then you need to rethink your strategy.

That was exactly my first thought too

And in the office there are people who literally hang out at the coffee machine for 30-60 minutes at a time, talking to everyone who comes by under the guise of “networking”.

The media gotta stop reporting on the laundry like it’s the equivalent of stealing from the company.

Depends on complexity and the number of elements to keep track of, and varies between models and people. Try it out for yourself to see! :)

It lacks cohesion the longer it goes on, not so much “hallucinating” as it is losing the thread, losing the plot. Internal consistency goes out the window, previously-made declarations are ignored, and established canon gets trounced upon.

But that’s cuz it’s not AI, it’s just LLM all the way down.

Fabulous! Thanks very much for this

I’m two expeditions behind because I’ve been reestablishing bases ever since the universal reboot, but I’m bookmarking this for when I can start fishing- soon!

Ready Tortellini Featuring Mushrooms

Meh

I’d rather hear a human’s perspective

Last summer I went through all 15 Wheel of Time books (late June through November), so this summer I was excited to read Malazan. To be honest it’s been more of a chore than I’d hoped.

I love the magic system, the banter is SO good. Characters just keep dying and then coming back; it’s got a lot going for it. The many, many different races, the 300,000+ years of history in the backstory…

It’s just a shame that it’s burdened by the issues I mentioned earlier; and more. And sooo many more.

Depends on the brand. If it was secretly manufactured by any particular nation’s secret military service, then Maybe.

Get a cute magnet to rest it on! :D

While your points about the patronage system and its weaknesses are valid, you’re writing off several centuries worth of legitimate human endeavor because the systems that enabled it were dodgy. Guess what though? That’s literally all of history, dodgy AF, featuring an intrepid cast of characters more awful the deeper you look. That doesn’t make the art or music worth writing off though.

But honestly:

What is interesting though is the fact that AI art, and the LAION-5B dataset used to train the models is a true and earnest reflection of sorts of what images today really are

“Earnest” is definitely not the word you’re looking for. Derivative, maybe, because you said it yourself, they’re reflections; and as such, they’re going to reflect what images of today are; like you said. That makes them derivative, and I feel a vast artificiality that makes my heart sink when I look at the vast majority of them.

Choosing machine-created art over historical art is choosing a passing fad over centuries of culture. It’s your right; but to write off history with a wave of the hand means you’re missing out on truly expanding your horizons.
