To be fair, my old Corolla is comfortable, with adjustable seats, climate control, and a sound system. It’s a little mobile room that society requires I own, I might as well enjoy it. I’ll spend 10 to 15 minutes sometimes after work just watching videos on my phone before / after going home.

My partner and and I will sometimes sit talking in their Prius for a long time after reaching a destination.

Grok 2 uses the image model, “Flux.” Flux is made by black forest labs. You two can download the model and run it locally on a moderately expensive gaming PC or use it for free at https://huggingface.co/spaces/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev among other places.

I find it funny that the most newsworthy component of this product is made and distributed for free by a completely unrelated company. This is manufactured outrage by musk as a ploy to seem relivant in the ai space. All he did was put a free thing behind a Paywall.

“Warning: you will get texted so use your disposal number.”

Umm… What?

I’m so happy that new pipe is working again.

Yeah, I agree. I do sort of understand op’s consternation. I don’t browse Lemmy on my work PC, but sometimes on lunch or in public I pull it up on my phone on All communities and I’m suddenly conscious that everyone beside me can see the “sfw” furry and anime art that I scroll past.

However, that’s kinda my fault. I don’t want to ban those communities because I like that stuff. It’s just a little odd that we call it sfw when, to be honest, I have a hard time picturing most work places where I live happy to see that on my desktop.

Yeah, that would be great. Many instance admins already use CSAM classifier models on all incoming images. It’d be great if they could add additional models that could put meta tags on images automatically like “suggestive” and “gore” with the option for the poster to modify the tags just in case it was a false negative or positive. Like a lasagna getting gore, for example.

I feel like the Internet needs more tags:

• Explicit (rude language, nudity, etc)
• Porn (nsfw legacy tag)
• Violence
• Not safe for life

Something like that.

I use virtual credit cards from privacy.com. for trials I set a $1 limit and forget about it. It’s pretty useful for legitimate subscriptions too, since I can pause or end them just by pausing the card.

🤣 just visualizing the United Nations Assembly talking turns curb stomping some poor android.

Call me an optimist, but I think that if an android was actually going to destroy life as we know it, nations would do everything in their power to advert the disaster.

Please don’t. Children’s media is already flooded with ai generated fluff. You won’t make any money on it.

Can you be in the steam family group with a dead person?

It’s worth mentioning that in this instance the guy did send porn to a minor. This isn’t exactly a cut and dry, “guy used stable diffusion wrong” case. He was distributing it and grooming a kid.

The major concern to me, is that there isn’t really any guidance from the FBI on what you can and can’t do, which may lead to some big issues.

For example, websites like novelai make a business out of providing pornographic, anime-style image generation. The models they use deliberately tuned to provide abstract, “artistic” styles, but they can generate semi realistic images.

Now, let’s say a criminal group uses novelai to produce CSAM of real people via the inpainting tools. Let’s say the FBI cast a wide net and begins surveillance of novelai’s userbase.

Is every person who goes on there and types, “Loli” or “Anya from spy x family, realistic, NSFW” (that’s an underaged character) going to get a letter in the mail from the FBI? I feel like it’s within the realm of possibility. What about “teen girls gone wild, NSFW?” Or “young man, no facial body hair, naked, NSFW?”

This is NOT a good scenario, imo. The systems used to produce harmful images being the same systems used to produce benign or borderline images. It’s a dangerous mix, and throws the whole enterprise into question.

It kinda reminded me of those old PS3 commercials that David lunch directed. Kinda liked it, tbh

My new hobby in 2034 is going to be making irl friends, getting in thier private group chat, and then replacing myself with a bot. They’ll never see it coming.

Good!

Probably if there is some sort of universal intelligence evaluating our actions and decisions, it would turn anyone entertaining this idea into an worm in their next life. The premise that the good fortuned should be passive to suffering, and enable it, out of some misguided moral calculus is absurd. You can’t game the system.

Mario vs Rabbits is a surprisingly fun turn based tactics game. It’s something different gameplay wise from much of the switch library.

I saw someone mention Mario Odyssey. I hadn’t owned a Mario game since Mario 64, but I thought it was incredible! It’s just fun as all heck, and the surreal tone of the game kept me entertained. It has a bizarre mashup of “realistic” styles with the Mario universe. There isn’t co-op exactly, but one person can play as the hat, helping out. Just, don’t count it out because you aren’t hyped about Mario. It’s a quality game, and stands on its own merits.

Ugh… I’m deep on the ai sphere, and this seems like a bad idea to me. Gpt (let’s face it, they are probably using open ai) can be deeply biased and arbitrary in it’s evaluations.

For example, “Two apples and four oranges,” might score better than: “4 oranges and 2 apples.” for inscrutable reasons. Say, if the question spelled out the numbers, and the LLM has a weighted bias to favor overall textual consistently, it might produces a reason to dock points apparently unrelated to that weight, such as: “incomplete sentence.” for the second answer, but not the first.

Students may also receive lower scores due to cultural biases towards certain phrases, and factors as straightforward as their name.

Finally, AI will hallucinate errors constantly if you ask it to evaluate text without any errors. Constantly. Consistently.
