Holy shit, we’ve come full circle.

Didn’t he use Norway as the example of the opposite of a “shit hole” country?

As a Canadian, this really warms my heart, thank you!

It’s more like the librarian has taken it upon themself (for some reason) to write a book that is the mathematical average of every other book in the library. Then when any patron comes looking for a specific book, the librarian just hands them this slag instead hoping they won’t notice the difference.

Honestly, best description of LLMs for search I’ve seen so far.

Voyager supremacy:

Generative AI tools are by definition averaging machines. They take lots of data and give an average output based on input.

Not all training data is as valuable as others. The most valuable are distinct and highly associated with a certain tag or description. So a picture that is just a dog with over exaggerated dog features is better training data than a whole landscape with tons of stuff including a dog. This makes cartoonish stuff a better fit for training data.

Similarly, people using these tools tend to be less detail oriented and just want something that has an obvious, center stage, flat message. They want something fast and cheap so far less thought goes into it than traditional art.

Given these two, you end up with a huge bias towards the bland cartoonish style.

Beyond that, there is also the fact that as time goes on, generated images find their way into training data, so it keeps getting more closer to that bland style.

Seriously, I feel like the first generation of stable diffusion models were superior to what we have now.

Is that your idea of clever?

I think if you kill a murderer that has killed one person, then it’s not morally justified.

But how about someone who killed 2? How about 5? How about 20? 1000?

Idk where to draw the line but I strongly believe there has to be a line and the number can’t be infinite.

Feel like that used to be true, now you need that and stability.

My perception of this dude went from:

Okay maybe he likes sticking his head in the sand cause of money.

To:

He fully knows what he is doing and is complicit.

What a royal fuck up.

Also, my own two cents.

This never started as complex, and imo it’s not complex now. It is to Israel’s benefit for it to be seen as complex so they can do false equivalency.

A bully would love for observers to believe that both sides are equally in the wrong.

… I’ve said too much

But we had sacks and baskets.

It’s not just that, if I recall correctly, Macklemore promises 1 million to gaza, so he basically is trying to one up the artist.

Green MAGA fuckwits

… what? Well that’s new one

Please just go away already.

Fuck

Yeah ehh, I know it’s a meme but maybe say 5070 or even a 5080

“I am appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine,” Sheeran said. “The suffering and pain caused on both sides is a human tragedy. There are too many wars across the world causing immeasurable pain, none of which should be tolerated.”

So his stance is please stop fighting, regardless of who the aggressor is.

I wonder if he also wants the war in Ukraine to end by giving Russia some land.

What amazes me is that hidden in a conversation like this is the implication that a billionaire’s feelings being hurt should have any weight on anything.

Hate speech is calls to violence, not someone being upset by your opinion.

Honestly, between this, the growing gap between climate action and its consequences, and the march towards fascism, the brain kind or has to tune out for self preservation.
