That one makes perfect sense to me, but I appreciate the reference

Yeah, same. I was like, “What did Jay do?”

It’s just the RAM thing. Unfortunately, we live in a timeline where we’ve realized that Scrooge McDuck was actually a villain the whole time.

That’s not how evidence works. If the original person has evidence that the software doesn’t work, then we need to look at both sets of evidence and adjust our view accordingly.

It could very well be that the software works 90% of the time, but there could exist some outlying examples where it doesn’t. And if they have those examples, I want to know about them.

Okay. Same. I’m not asking you to believe Glaze/Nightshade works on my word alone. All I said was that artists should try it.

Okay. I have that. Now what?

ETA: also, you can prove a negative, it’s just often much harder. Since the person above said it doesn’t work, the positive claim is theirs to justify. Whether it’s hard or not is not my problem.

Great detailed answer! That gives me plenty to read.

Good luck to you all (if you’re in the EU). What a terrible timeline to deal with.

Because it’s hard(er than doing nothing) and takes changing habits.

I haven’t seen any objective evidence that they don’t work. I’ve seen anecdotal stories, but nothing in the way of actual proof.

New? Babe, the first one has happened and is still ongoing (in the US). If you cut out the circular AI pump and dump from the US economic growth, there’s only been a 0.1% change in growth.

When the first player cashes out, it’s Depression ho!

Not me. I’m hanging onto mine for the inevitable retro revival!

“Either the tool is learning from my previous queries,” Texas A&M system’s chief strategy officer Korry Castillo told colleagues in an email, “or we need to fine tune our requests to get the best results.”

False dichotomy. Or the AI tool is fucking stupid, and it is producing garbage responses, because it’s fucking stupid.

Color me shocked that this person in charge of an entire swath of a university system doesn’t know how to apply the correct algorithm for the task they’re trying to solve.

ETA: and of course, that’s before we get into the weeds of the what and why of what she’s trying to find.

On that note, if you’re an artist, make sure you take Nightshade or Glaze for a spin. Don’t need access to the LLM if they’re wantonly snarfing up poison.

As an outsider looking in, who has enough problems of their own to deal with, what kinds of things are the aforementioned “empires” doing to divide the EU? Or is there somewhere I can read about it?

If you do achieve a federal system, I sincerely hope you do better than we have done. Good luck, y’all, and I mean that!

It’s to generate a sense of agency, vision and possibility at a time when bullying from Trump, expansionism from Russia and competition between U.S. and China have left young Europeans feeling powerless.

As a non-wealthy American, we feel powerless, too. And I have to say, the notion of demoting countries in the EU to states is a terrible idea. It hasn’t worked well in the US, and all that it would achieve is centralizing power away from the people and into the hands of those who can buy power. Bigger government ≠ better country, especially at a time in history when billionaires exist.

Grow the EU, by all means, but your individual countries working together is what makes you great.

What happened to the hacker spirit and the communities that sprouted from SourceForge and Linux?

It was scared into hiding by lawsuit-happy ultracapitalist corporations with Legal departments who have nothing better to do than squash innovation and fun (see: Nintendo, etc.).

It looks like the bolt is perhaps brass? I’m wondering if you can’t sand the surface a bit and low-temp solder a nut or something to it to get a better grip. Once you get it off, unsolder it and clean up the leftovers.

Either way, the question I would be asking myself is: is this a tool or a decoration? If it’s a tool, it doesn’t seem to me like it makes sense to try to preserve the bolt. I’m guessing this is old, and if so, people from long ago would have used whatever bolts and screws they had handy to repair things; you’d be keeping in that spirit by doing the same!

To be clear, the title is saying that it’s the lawmakers who are opposing the Healthcare for All, not Tlaib. They should have written that in active voice. Editor must have been asleep that day.

As someone who does not have schizophrenia, the thoughts don’t have to feel foreign for the religion to work. All it takes is persuasive people convincing you that your very normal, intrusive thoughts aren’t actually just your brain doing brain things. My intrusive thoughts always felt like they were mine, but my former religion convinced me they weren’t.

I also don’t know that we would see a lot less religion if errant thoughts were better understood by regular people. Maybe we’d see less theistic religion, but perhaps people would just gravitate towards some other non-theistic spiritual practice instead.
