This is literally going to be an embezzlement op isn’t it

Holy shit I had no idea there was a left wing branch of the mad cryptofascist meme stock cult.

it’s really fucking dumb because trump got 2 million less votes than in 2020. really great map for learning the wrongest possible lesson from this election.

Dem talking heads spending so much energy courting moderate conservative votes was an excellent way to demobilise their base. They really gave their all to lose an election that should have been a free win.

i do love how the “anti-imperialist” protest vote against harris was a choice between like three or four putin apologists. the state of the US left is really fucked up and i don’t want to look at it ever again.

lol

We also have stuff like DLSS, which is pretty cool and I imagine ends up being more efficient in energy usage. The key thing I believe is it’s built as a specific tool for a specific purpose, instead of general purpose slop machines eating humongous databases to excrete absolutely nothing useful for anyone.

Ah awesome! I didn’t think it was because you can’t upload pictures, but maybe you can in the “Revisited” version!

I think it’s fine to have little art games that are only interesting to play for a few minutes. They can still have an impact that stays with you forever. Catacombs of Solaris for instance is one I love and think about all the time.

These AI guys though, god it must be so sad working on this stuff. They can’t be proud of what they’re making if the goal is to trick people into thinking you can have a real Minecraft game in there. The game is not even relevant, as far as I can tell they’re only using it to draw attention to their stupid and doomed ASIC business.

I’m sure her results would be very accurate if troll farms could vote and chatgpt was doing the count.

I do like it also, but notice how they try to hide most of these strange effects in their demo video. They’re trying to pass it off as a playable minecraft. Anything interesting about the technology is a defect to these people.

They also claim this is “the first playable AI-generated game” when the exact same sort of thing already existed in 2022 (and it looked a lot more efficient and haunted): https://madebyoll.in/posts/game_emulation_via_dnn/ Maybe it doesn’t count if you call it “Neural network” instead of “AI”.

I don’t like how people use “hallucinations” to refer to the output of neural networks, but you know what, it is all hallucination. It’s hallucination on our part, looking at arbitrary sequences of tokens and seeing meaningful text. It’s pareidolia, and it’s powerful.

Study finds greedy white children would rather have two fictitious cookies than one real one they can eat.

(This particular study, if there even is a real study, is infuriating because what it’s really measuring is how much you trust a figure of authority to keep their promise. I wonder why black kids would have issues with this!)

Oh cool it’s even worse then!

Racism is insane; it fixates on superficial characteristics like skin color rather than important ones like IQ and time preference.

I’m sorry, “time preference”? Is this piece of shit referring to Colored People’s Time as a scientific concept or am I missing something?

This is such a cursed tweet ughhhhh

B-but homophobia is a social phenomenon. It’s not real (genetic)!

Or people could take away different things, especially since post-2014 (?) Scott approaches controversial issues much more cautiously and deliberately made known (Kolmogorov) that he was never going to fully honest around certain topics, inviting (deliberately or not, accurate or not) Straussian readings.

Ugh. These people seem sad and they make me sad.

What do they mean by “in color”? If it’s just various tints throughout the film that’s normal and cool. If they mean full on colourised that’s messed up.

I’m honestly obsessed with it because it’s so baffling. It takes effort to make your smile look this fake, and dedication to stick with it year after year. There’s no way he hasn’t been told how bad it looks, and how he could simply squint his eyes just a tad and it would look so much more natural. It’s got to be a choice.
