ChatGPT came up with this as part of an explanation as to how DVD subtitles can be lossy when converted. I get what it means, but I hate it.

this wouldn’t ban fossil, afaict, because i’m basing fossil’s algorithm purely on what the author said, its not customized to the user at all. that seems like a good way to separate “good algorithms” from bad ones

“The New York legislation defines an “addictive feed” as one that recommends, selects or prioritizes media based on information associated with a user or their device.”

@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

it’s a little disingenuous to refer to #LLMs as #opensource because you can really only open source an LLM in roughly the same way you open source a microprocessor — RISCV is open source, the plans for it anyway, but it still costs millions to riff off it and make your own custom version, same with LLMs. that’s not exactly what open source was going for

@kellogh I get what you're saying. But barrier to entry has always been "high" depending on who you're talking to. The average person doesn't have the skill and knowledge to set up and compile open source software. I still think it fits the original spirit of the term and movement. The more knowledge out there the better for us smelly nerds. :smug:

If you're curious, the bot just asks a Mistral Instruct model to come up with a prompt based on a random line from /usr/share/dict/words, then passes the response to stable diffusion.

Seeding it with a random word for inspiration helps the model come up with different stuff. Without some random input, the Mistral tended to describe the same or similar prompts every time. I don't blame it, it's only the baby 7B model. It is doing its best!

There were probably individuals in early hominid development that were like the monkey equivalent to Albert Einstein. Would be cool to talk to one. Or fight it, maybe.

We are working for a ceasefire and hostage deal that would allow the United States and our partners to begin the work to rebuild homes, schools, and hospitals in Gaza to help repair communities destroyed in the chaos of war.

This deal must get done.

Our proposal to end the war in Gaza begins with a complete ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas in Gaza, the release of hostages and hostage remains, the ability for Palestinians to return to Gaza, and a surge of humanitarian assistance.

@potus Dare I get my hopes up? 🤷 It sounds OK to me, but am I missing something? Also, will Israel even agree to such a thing?

People freaking out about these little human brain organoids like they're fully fledged beings had better be life-begins-at-conception prolifers or I'm going to lose my mind. In for a penny, in for a pound.

I swear the AI hateboner people love to wave around is gonna stifle actual important conversations about ethics in, well, just about anything even tangentially related.

Are there ethical considerations we need to pay attention to with these things? Of course!

But seeing people act like these things are AM just ain't it.

@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com avatar

My, perhaps , is that I prefer idly browsing now to . For as crude as it is, 4chan is at least human in a way that Reddit just isn't anymore. 4chan is vulgar and crass but vibrant. Reddit is full of people that appear to just online all day, regardless of their political leanings. Eternally hurling insults from afar for the approval of fellow defeated seethers and bots.

Anyway, join a // instance. I suggest https://kbin.run/

And just like that, another producer goes down the dark path of adding more and more restrictions until its basically unusable for all purposes except doing free and for them.

First hit is free, as they say. I guess was good while it lasted.

@MattMerk It would probably be a great time to short the stock of any company that has been around for a while, is getting a bit stale, and who is likely to find the dumbest possible use for AI in a product that doesn't need it. There have got to be dozens of companies out there that fit that description.

@max That's cool. I hadn't considered that. Would make referencing the files easier too when I actually wanna use them.
