Ah, the site requires me to agree to “Data processing by advertising providers including personalised advertising with profilingConsent” and that this is “required for free use”. A blatant GDPR violation, love-lyy!

“Never thought I’d die fighting side by side with GEMA.”

“What about side by side with a friend?”

“Lol good one get fucked.”

Seems weird to try to attack from the angle that the model constitutes a copy rather than a derivative work. I’m sure Getty’s lawyers have their reasons why they didn’t try that route instead, but I’d be quite interested in seeing whether machine learning models trained on copyrighted data should be considered similarly to something like a piece of music sampling another piece (which my non-lawyer intuition says they should).

3D-knitted, or “knitted” for short.

Fucking sucks. Why bother gutting a law that’s barely even enforced? Just bootlicking American tech giants for the sheer love of the game at this point.

What does it tell about a scientist that they see a wide world of mysteries to dive into and the research topic they pick is “are we maybe missing out on a way we could justify discriminating against people for their innate characteristics?”

“For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing” fuck off no one is this naive.

Just a heads-up, I tried reading up on Iocaine and the project website is giving me the madlibs nonsense version on my phone’s browser, so I hope the version you’re planning to enable here isn’t quite as aggressive (the making.awful link is currently working for me).

Between this and Cloudflare’s geolocation provider no longer saying my IPv6 address block is in Russia, I’m hopeful that my browsing experience might ever so slightly improve for a bit.

“What if we figure out DNA well enough that we could edit a babby to grow NAND gate cells and put a calculator inside their body so they can do instant arithmetic like a computer?”

I assume he’s talking about that kind of stuff, but being vague so you can’t call him out if he gets details wrong.

Pretty sure this brand of cyborg fantasizing is quite popular in mainstream rationalism, unless you’re reading something more creative in this than superbabies, brain uploading and HDMI to visual nerve for undetectable on-demand pornography.

I’m too jaded to get my hopes up, but wouldn’t it be so nice if this were the beginning of the end for the AI bubble?

You know the old saw that half the money spent on marketing is wasted, just nobody knows which half? Thanks to AI we now know it’s the half that’s spent on AI.

What I like about this definition is that the lint in my navel is about 15% closer to AGI than OpenAI, having produced zero dollars of profit for them.

Ah, it’s another Urbit isn’t it?

The xn-- URLs are punycode encoding, which is how non-ASCII domain names work under the hood.

I’ve used rolling distros professionally on my one-man workstation and they’ve been fine. I wouldn’t want it on a server without a regular update schedule, rigorously followed.

“Polished” is not what I’d call the bits of Omarchy I’ve come across.

Nothing. You should only look out for things when you notice a need that is not fulfilled by what you’re currently running.

What he got wrong is that the emotionally stunted boss man in charge of executing the plans of the shadowy elite conspiracy was a grieving widowed wife guy and not just the most divorced man in the world.

We need to fight capitalism with giant mechs modeled after wealthy white leftist intellectuals. Here’s my proposal for project Friedrich Evangelsion Unit-00

I try to leep my bullshit detector well-maintained; I see some AI crap being forced and think: “Well that’s some bullshit!”
