Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
He spent many years on Reddit and is now exploring new vistas in social media.
Whatabout, whatabout, whatabout.
You realize that if country A does something bad, “Country B did something bad too!” is not actually a defense of country A’s behaviour? Indeed, it just implies that you agree that that behaviour is bad.
But that just makes connecting those things to the internet forbidden… and therefore alluring.
And here we go again, round… what is it at this point, five?
They had a salamander-person among the patients who went to “The Farm” in that episode where Tendi made a dog and Boimler got stuck mid-transport, so they haven’t forgotten.
The outcome was completely obvious, and I blame Internet Archive for poking this bear. They had no reason to do this, and they are putting their actual core mission at risk in the process.
Also, a drone hovering high over the street can probably see your back yard just as well as if it was hovering directly over your property.
I get to bring up the United Federation of Hold My Beer again, awesome.
We actually got to see how the Klingons and Federation deal with random bullshit differently in the recent “Subspace Rhapsody” episode of Strange New Worlds. The Enterprise triggered an effect that caused them to break into musical numbers, and their reaction was to experiment to figure out what caused them and how many people they could get involved in a musical number at once.
The Klingons sent a fleet to blow up the concept of musicals.
If that’s what the law requires then the AI companies will just move somewhere else and that jurisdiction will miss out on the next industrial revolution.
More that they know enough about how it works that they know it’s impossible to do. The data isn’t stored like files on a hard drive, in some discrete bundle of bytes somewhere, and the problem is simply trying to find and erase them. It’s stored as a distributed haze of weightings spread out over all of the nodes in the network, blended with all the other distributed hazes of everything else that the AI knows. A court may as well order a human to forget a specific fact, memories are stored in a similar manner.
Best the law can probably do right now is forbid AIs from speaking about certain facts. And even then as we’ve seen with the like of ChatGPT there will be ways to talk around such bans.
It’s more like the law is saying you must draw seven red lines, all of them strictly perpendicular, some with green ink and some with transparent ink.
It’s not “virtually” impossible, it’s literally impossible. If the law requires that it be possible then it’s the law that must change. Otherwise it’s simply a more complicated way of banning AI entirely, which means that some other jurisdiction will become the world leader in such things.
Indeed. And also, some prominent people still worry about Russian “red lines” and nukes. Perhaps rightly so, I am not an expert. By ramping up support over time we tread those red lines carefully to see if they actually mean anything. There’s also probably an element of “boiling the frog” going on, too.
I have used nothing but AI art in many of the adventures I’ve run for my players and it’s working great. Perhaps you’re using AI art generators in too superficial a manner, the best generations require a fair bit of attention to detail.
Wonder if they’ll suddenly remember about electoral reform if they find themselves on the wrong side of first-past-the-post.
Even the “supermoon” part is really pretty bland. The Moon looks very slightly larger. Imperceptible without some kind of visual reference that you’ve calibrated beforehand.
Just look at it through some binoculars and you’ll be way more impressed.
This seems like something that could be searched for by an automated process. I bet lots of old papers have edits that the people who made them at the time figured would be “good enough” to not be spotted, but now we’ve got better automation.
Sure, but my headcanon is more about the underlying reasoning of why they did that. In canon it was out of some sort of high-minded ideals and a unique human ability to build communities and see past differences and such blather. In my headcanon it’s actually more because the Vulcans told them they didn’t think it would work.
Heh. You’ll likely be disappointed, I’ve always been much more of a commenter than a poster. 12 years on Reddit got me 450,964 comment karma and only 2,351 post karma, and most of those posts were my failed attempt to get a subreddit about moonbases off the ground. :)
Well, it’s reassuring that those posts are actually invisible rather than just “nobody even cared enough to downvote them” :) I’m accessing the fediverse through kbin rather than Lemmy, which I like a lot in general design but which has had some glitches with fully federating stuff in other areas before so I’m not surprised. The bugs will get sorted out over time.
Also, you can’t take it from me because I’m giving it to you. Here! \
I’ve tried posting other things before and it’s been a bit flaky for me, I’m not sure if anyone else saw them. So feel free to reap the karma-equivalent for yourself if you like. Or edit it in to this post and you can pretend you meant to do that from the start. :)
I mean, it sucks, sure. But it’s better than a strong, unified Russia, as we’ve seen.
