It’s not that I don’t believe them, but anything coming from spooks has to be looked at a little sideways.

Thanks for the reply. I just couldn’t figure out how they had enough intelligence to find all these telegram groups, maybe that’s easier for a nation state than I thought.

There were reports (claims I suppose) that the fsb were using telegram to organise the stochastic gig job sabotage across Europe.

Joining a neo fash telegram group, pretending to be a rich neo fash who wants to help the cause but not risk themselves and paying people for putting up posters, damaging equipment etc.

Does what has been found here shed any more light on that? I’d guess it would allow them to find these groups to target them very easily? That was the bit I couldn’t quite understand from the original report, if so this all makes more sense.

Maybe you shouldnt have eaten their porridge and slept in their bed.

And by a modder turned dev, so, professionalisation? :)

Though the way wube works the whole team will have been involved in some way. And they’re a student so it’s part of a fairly normal pipeline for gamedev.

Blessed relief from the spider venom , jellyfish stings, croc bites.

It provides fertilizer but needs “some food”.

How much food and what is it?

Typically for aquariums you have to feed these things fertilizer so it seems odd

As a good virtue ethicist I walk away from the lever and live my virtuous life

Probably by trying to beat up Persians. Or some other city state. Or slaves. You know, virtuously

The flickering of them in the atmosphere is her so it’s just justified enough for a poem

Oh dear no I’m repying to agree. It is all good.

It’s a lazy Sunday and while I have a dozen better things to do trying to make clear posts about ai in a place where people will agree intelligently is a nice waste of time.

The soul thing is very poor ground to argue on yes which is why I immediately spent the time to make a different one :)

At very best it’s an intuitive understanding of “procedural oatmeal” where the brain spots patterns in the output so quickly it becomes tired of the art and loses interest.

But I think that’s being generous and I think of lot of the time it’s a purely to stake a position based on identity and a challenge to that identity.

The wider issue is you have to generate that energy, and you have to be able to capture more carbon than that generation released.

As I understand it doesn’t at all. This is why it’s seen as analagous to a perpetual motion machine, it’s an endless chain of power plants capturing each others carbon to no end.

You could use solar of course, but then why generate anything with fossil fuels just to capture the carbon with solar? Just use solar.

It’s not any of those reasons, it’s because it can only exist by being trained on human authored art and in many cases you can extract a decentish copy of the original if you can specify enough tags that piece was labelled with.

The ai model is a lossy database of art and using them to launder copyright violations should be illegal, is immorally stealing from the creator, and chills future artists by taking away the revenue they need while learning. This leads to ai model art having not enough future work to train on and the stagnation of the human experience as making beautiful things is not profitable enough, or doesn’t give the profit to those with power.

Thanks for writing this up, sounds even worse than I’d have guessed from the title.

Thanks I finally understood this thread, kept thinking people were viewing the crocodile/duck/whatever from above

There was definitely a problem at first (when musk bought twitter) on mastodon with people buying a server instance for the black community, and then not actually blocking all the standard bad servers.

Basically giving them a server full of targets to harass.

I guess you could say setting up an instance and maintaining a blue sky block list is sort of similar, you’re taking it on yourself to see all the horrible stuff, even seeking it out, to protect others.

The blue sky approach lets people use multiple Blocklists though and masto just has the one of the server you’re on and your personal one. Lots of room for improvement.

Got it. I’ll look out for Targaryen Vs Mitochondria in the next season to learn more

What the hell is a “powerhouse” anyway?
