Yeah and it unfortunately succeeded, so I’m surprised it is still around.

What the hell kind of crap is that writing?

Also, I’m surprised this is even this a thing, I thought he’d abandoned the boring company years ago.

It’s a core problem with image generator LLMs. For some fucking reason they seem to have fed them the content from sites that had a lot of porn. Guessing Imgur and Deviantart.

Literally the first time I tried to use MS’s image generator, was out with some friends trying a new fried chicken place and we were discussing fake tinder profiles.

So I thought to try it and make a fake image of “woman senuously eating fried chicken”.
Content warning, blah blah blah.

Try “Man sensuously eating fried chicken”. Works fine.

We were all mystified by that. I went back a few days later to play around. Tried seeing what it didn’t like. Tried generating “woman relaxing at park”.
Again, content warning. Switch to a man, no problem. Eventually got it to generate with “woman enjoying sunset in a park.” Got a very dark image, because it generated a completely nude woman T-posing in the dark.

So, with that in hand I went back and started specifying “fully clothed” for a prompt involving the word “woman”. All of a sudden all of the prompts worked. They fed the bot so much porn that it defaulted women to being nude.

It was a work issue about a decade ago. Client wanted certain emails from automation to be masked as coming from him.

Most email boxes, including Gmail, didn’t have an issue. Outlook(the one that shipped with Office) laughed at it and displayed the original sender in giant bold letters.

Yay, does this mean that Google is going to stop saying the masked email address is the sender and hide the true email address?

You know, like MS has done for over 15 years now?

For Canadians, Environment Canada has a fantastic app called WeatherCan that includes all of the usuals, has doppler radar for all of North America with the option for a one or three hour loop.

It also includes alerts from Environment Canada for any location you’ve added and links to the marine weather forecast site.

You’re building beautiful straw men. They’re lies, but great job.

I said originally that we need to improve the interpretation of the model by AI, not just have even bigger models that will invariably have the same flaw as they do now.

Deterministic reliability is the end goal of that.

It’s an exaggeration, but its not far off given that Google literally has all of the web parsed at least once a day.

Reddit just sold off AI harvesting rights on all of its content to Google.

The problem is no longer model size. The problem is interpretation.

You can ask almost everyone on earth a simple deterministic math problem and you’ll get the right answer almost all of the time because they understand the principles behind it.

Until you can show deterministic understanding in AI, you have a glorified chat bot.

Will increasing the model actually help? Right now we’re dealing with LLMs that literally have the entire internet as a model. It is difficult to increase that.

Making a better way to process said model would be a much more substantive achievement. So that when particular details are needed it’s not just random chance that it gets it right.

Is amusing that bing moved their AI results to the bottom of the page.

Nah its Google acting. The EU only cares when it is alone or particularly MS.

Seriously, they were blocking mention of competition (pixelfed) on threads before they launched their first attempt at federation.

But surely meta has good intentions and we should totally trust them guys!!1!

Hell, for 3k you could hire someone to haul a tent out to you. Maybe even air drop the damn thing to you.
The self-assembling tent I used to use was only $50.

Automation and Beam NG. You can make cars in the former and it has tools to import them into the latter where you can drive them around.

I made a hot-hatch with a supercharged V6 that can go well over 300kph. Also have reproduced the Jaguar xj220 and an 1980s Camaro.

The former is insane, it’s just raw power. I fiddled with it and now it is a mid engine supercar that does wheelies when accelerating.

The Camaro is just hilarious fun though.

No, but you’re not trying to sell your abilities to write things. The entire point of OpenAI as a company is to sell its LLM.

Monetization and adware.

You can absolutely do that with a text to speech app and the app Tasker on Android.

Not a sweet spot.

Morrowind was amazing because it is a hand built world. Oblivion had the same core error as Starfield: an overreliance on procedural generation.

For Skyrim they did it right. Just the right amount of procedural generation with enough manual work that things worked out.

You can’t overlook the modding scene either. Oblivion had a great mod community with a lot of people getting into it and cutting their teeth there. So when Skyrim came out they were experts and made a lot of amazing mods, particularly framework mods.

But almost all of them are done and gone or corrupted into paid mods(e.g. Elianora, Kinggath(FO4)). So Starfield will never get a good modding scene because the core modding community doesn’t exist now.

It’s updated RFID tags that are even harder to detect, and unlike the standard ones, require specialized technology to activate, so they get security through obscurity.

It has nothing to do with NFCs. Likely has a lot to do with the police state ID cards and vehicle tracking that the Bush Administation tried to implement in the late 2000s.
