Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities. “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.” A profile in absolute courage.

typical ai use case

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way. Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

Games Workshop defying all British Logic by steadfastly remaining a real, actual thing as opposed to charging with the rest of the country in the realm of the purely theoretical.

You can't even buy the self-heating instant ramen here! Boo!

This was actually a piece I drew with pencils before I inked it digitally (I used to only use traditional mediums before 2020) & this was part of a series of paintings I prepared for a Aphantasia zine that never came to be because of covid. 🤍 #art

Hi. For anyone seeing this, this is fake (or likely misiattributed). The survey in question didn't ask for authentication. On top of that, clicking a link can't steal your auth token because that would be a MAJOR CSRF exploit. Also, here's the survey site's SSL cert info.

reblog to remind a british freelancer

First blanket of the year is done! This is being donated to a charity sale at work, and I've already started another one #crochet #handmade #grannysquare #blanket

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.

In Okinawan dialect, the Hibiscus tiliaceus (sea hibiscus) is called Yuuna; this is where our summoner gets her name from! 🌺 The flower meaning is 楽しい思い出 (tanoshii omoide = happy memories) ...which makes you cry buckets considering the ending words of FFX. #FFX #finalfantasy

Come see our latest interview with Challenge winner A J McKenna as we discuss politics, poetry and protest! youtu.be/XRp1MeJaRoQ @robertgalbraith.bsky.social

Some new folks are here so just a reminder that this is available! If anyone needs a while bunch of fat reference photos, this has over 1,000 or them. Reshares are extremely appreciated and any amount helps me, that's why it's pay what you can! 🩵

Bit weird that Visa and MasterCard forced Steam to take down anything with a hint of lewd but are more than eager to take payment for X Premium for the child porn generator

Again I feel like people should be asking some serious questions about the reluctance to deal with the CSAM generator and the prevalence of people who like that sort of thing in the leading faction of the government. Just two little dots that seem weirdly easy to connect.

First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc? He had no idea.

People are saying this

📜 From the Archives Alert 📜 We did a long episode about the Manchester bombing with @postoctobrist.bsky.social - the only thing you can know from public records is that MI5 at best failed massively, and maybe/probably helped get the bombers back to the UK? www.podbean.com/ea/pb-s9tiq-...

“you won’t get away with this”

Could comment on how it's interesting that it only matters if a cis person catches strays, but the more depressing point is that if being trans was something people just didn't get mardy about for no reason, none of this would've been a problem in the first place

Adults using DMs on Bluesky: Unacceptable, think of the kids! Send their IDs to the dark web already! The UK Government announcing news on Nonce Central, Now With Even More CSAM: A-OK, zero problems here

Labour Party not taking action on nonce activity 👁️

As I'm sure you're aware, the fifth of January is the day of the Schnabelperchten, a creature of Austrian folklore who will check your house for cleanliness. If they decide you haven't done a good enough job, they'll slit open your belly and fill it with straw. Happy New Year..!
