Conservatives don’t believe things, they believe people. Their entire worldview is defined by interpersonal loyalty. In their minds, if rightful authority moved a Falling Rocks sign, the rocks would fall somewhere else.
Trying to hold any these idiot bigots to the logic of their claims accomplishes absolutely nothing. They could be reasonable - but that visibly is not the brain activity they are engaged in.
Rule of thumb, I’d say any comic that can be wordless, should be… but no, this is funnier.
The modern job market, as a whole.
The Big Issue is the UK equivalent. Evidently both were inspired by Street News in NYC, which is the the first with that purpose.
We might get Abigail Thorn’s vulgar impression verbatim.
The simulation is breaking down.
English also stole “gravid” from Latin, but it usually refers to egg-laying animals.
However many legs they have.
Reality is like that.
The SR-71, designed largely to spy on Soviet countries, was made of titanium sourced from Soviet countries.
In the decades since then I would wager the arms race against “straw buyers” has favored the buyers. Especially when it’s just bare microchips. It’s not a dinky Polish auto-repair shop ordering five thousand Tomahawk missile nose cones. Some of these smuggling operations happen by accident, because the chip someone needs happens to be used in a fancy toy car. Or if you want to get conspiratorial, a toy car can be designed to use any chip in a missile, without raising a single eyebrow.
Amateur rocketry enthusiasts have run into tracking problems because commercial GPS and motion-tracking hardware is designed to shut off past a certain speed. That’s how mundane and widespread some of these weapon components are: if you can jailbreak a TomTom and a Wiimote, you’re left making the part that explodes slowly and the part that explodes quickly.
And drones are still scarier.
Chuck E Cheese is right on there, in the robot fucker super structure.
Expected a mirror to ‘breasted boobily down the stairs,’ but nope, monster fucker alignment chart.
This is approaching unfalsifiable.
Is classifying generated data ever intractable, when you can just… generate some? Even if the portion of human content dwindled - rather new human content, since there’s a recent hard cutoff - there’s a faucet for counterexamples. You can have as much for-sure machine-generated content as you like, to point at and go, wrong.
Argumentum ad nuh uh.
… and identification criteria of ‘yeah he looks similar.’
I again submit the last two years where model collapse did not happen. The doom-and-gloom predictions - some rather gleeful - plainly missed the mark. The proliferation of generated content has not in fact ruined the content generators, and it’s sure not because we’re any good at marking generated content. Early symptoms went away entirely and the problem has been practically addressed.
As for “unlearning,” universality is why it’s a made-up problem. Nobody loudly complains that x-rays make doctors worse at feeling around for lumps.
That’s a lot of “could” and “will” from an article a year old, primarily about concerns from two years ago, while image models to-day keep getting smaller and better. They didn’t find a second internet’s worth of JPEGs. Better training on the same data, or even better labels on less data, beats a simple obsession with scale.
Yes, photocopying a photocopy will degrade, but diffusion is a denoising algorithm. Un-degrading an image is its central function. ‘Make it look less AI’ is how you get generative adversarial networks.
Anyway, the grim truth is that the central concern is mistaken. Training data for cancer screening does not require the patient lived.
The doctors were better, until someone yanked the tool away. That’s how every tool works! Even going from a handsaw to a table saw and back will make you lose some skill with the handsaw, because your brain focused on higher-level goals and finer motions. That’s not proof a table saw is bad for woodworking. The problem is “and back.”
since apparently AI can’t feed into AI without collapse
Have you checked on that narrative? It’s been a while. Things stopped getting yellow. Improvements continued.
I’ll have what she’s having.
Take away a calculator halfway through an exam, and suddenly, people are surly and unmotivated about simple long division.
That’s how every ‘AI makes you stupid!’ article works. Like, ‘doctors used AI to detect more cancer, but when we took it away, they were worse at eyeballing it.’ Sorry, can we go back to the part about detecting cancer better?
‘Well if it’s merely okay just have it be perfect.’
Unserious.
When, not if, they do it anyway - arrest them.
Charge them.
Apply consequences.
