Looks like the image is just too compressed to distinguish his ear from his head

Would it be ethical to ask her to gender swap cis transphobes? Because I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be tempted.

There is no war in Ba Sing Se

Reddit hasn't felt the same for me since around 2021/22.

At some point it stopped being a platform for niche communities to come together and became a cesspool of corporate/government astroturfing and karma farm bots with a side of real people.

!Arthur Dent has his home demolished while humans simultaneously have Earth demolished by an alien race called Vogons, but him and Ford Prefect escape by hitchhiking onto the Vogon ship. They're discovered and thrown into space, but miraculously saved by Ford's relative (can't remember how they're related) and his ship The Heart of Gold, which is powerful but unpredictable. They wind up on a mythical planet due to that unpredictability, and learn that Earth was a designer planet created to calculate the ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. (The famous "42" thing). The whole crew escapes the planet and decides to go to The Restaurant at the End of The Universe to eat and watch the universe end.!<

Have I just stolen The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and given it to you?

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

Look, guys! The TLDR bot is stealing!

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

This the the problem for the LLM, it can be used for many things, and if it has no filter or limit

I agree with pretty much everything before this but that particular comment was just talking about summaries, which imo is a lot more cut and dry. (SparkNotes, for example)

An LLM by itself is unlimited and unfiltered, but it's not impossible to limit one and sell it. For all the shit OpenAI deserves to get, I have to give them one thing, their copyright restriction system seems to be on par with YouTube. I paid for a month of it when GPT4 came out and tried my hardest to bypass it, but it won't even give me copyrighted texts when the words are all replaced with synonyms or jumbled around.

I think if someone's offering their LLM as a service and has a system like that in place, they aren't stealing any more than YouTube is stealing. Otherwise I agree that there's a strong argument for copyright infringement.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

Impressive that your coworkers discuss the events exclusively by recalling 60% of the announcer's words and then quoting them verbatim.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

I got the math the wrong way around but read the bottom of the bot's post. The bot's job is to cut the fluff out of articles, and it copy/pastes the remaining text for us to read here.

So my comment should have said 40%, but the point was if we're comparing what the bot did with your coworkers talking about a game, it'd be more akin to them reciting the commentator verbatim.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

In what country are you not allowed to talk about something you watched

A_Very_Big_Fan Mod ,

"Female" is a descriptor of sex

Just like "theory" is a rigorously tested hypothesis. We're not all professional biologists and doctors, it's different colloquially.

A_Very_Big_Fan Mod ,

Nah, it's just a joke. Maybe a cisnormative joke, but as a trans woman myself I didn't think twice about it.

In my book, for something to be transphobic it has to intentionally discredit or attack trans people.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

Or just increase the size of the pen tool...

Wouldn't that be long term memory loss

I don't get it

A_Very_Big_Fan Mod ,

Ooooh I thought the ratio in question was upvote to downvote lol. The part about mods went over my head.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

Taaangent?

You asked about ACAB and got an answer about ACAB. This feels like a cope.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

I'm not the same guy, it's just obvious to everyone else here what he was saying since we don't need our hands held through every implication.

If bad cops can just get rid of others who call out bad behavior, what is left but the corrupt and the complicit? Hence, complacency is bad too so ACAB.

First it was "tangent", then it was, "ax partial answer", so now what is your excuse?

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

My story but with anime. Japan has some really annoying laws requiring their shows to be blurred and dimmed during fast-paced scenes and it absolutely butchers the height of good animations.

The Blu-ray releases don't have this issue, but guess what releases aren't available for purchase/streaming for English audiences. 🫠 I want to give them money so bad, but 🤷‍♀️

A_Very_Big_Fan , (edited )

It's an anti-seizure measure. Which makes sense for TV where kids might come across it by accident, but it doesn't make sense for streaming services where we could easily opt in/out of those versions.

Edit: This is what it looks like, compared to Blu-ray. They dim the whole screen and blend multiple frames together, which makes it hard to decipher what's going on and mutes the colors. (Another):

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

Sort of, but no. They're transparent because of the frame blending. Since moving objects/characters occupy different parts of the foreground across multiple frames, the background ends up getting blended into them. They call that "ghosting" because it effectively makes them transparent.

So they do lose opacity, but it's not like they're lowering an opacity value or anything.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

I use premium and even I cringed at this. The first two thirds of this are written like an AI generated ad.

Hackers Target AI Users With Malicious Stable Diffusion Tool on Github to Protest 'Art Theft' (www.404media.co)

A group of hackers that says it believes “AI-generated artwork is detrimental to the creative industry and should be discouraged” is hacking people who are trying to use a popular interface for the AI image generation software Stable Diffusion with a malicious extension for the image generator interface shared on Github. ...

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

Honestly I still don't understand the "stealing" argument. Does the stealing occur during training? From everything I've learned about the technology, the training, in terms of the data given and the end result, isn't any different than me scrolling through Google images to get a concept of how to draw something. It's not like they have a copy of the whole Internet on their servers to make it work.

Does it occur during the image generation? Because try as I might, I've never been able to get it to output copyrighted material. I know over fitting used to be an issue, but we figured out how to solve that issue a long time ago. "But the signatures!!" yeah, it's never outputted a recognizable/legible signature, it just associates signatures with art.

Shouldn't art theft be judged like any other copyright matter? It doesn't matter how it was created, it matters if it violates fair use. I really don't think training crosses that line, and I've yet to see these models output a copy of another image outside of image-to-image models.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

I get the sentiment but I don't think anything here addresses anything I haven't already mentioned. The labor is certainly being used and it's certainly for profit, but not in any way that humans don't already do.

I really am sympathetic towards artists, though. Like I get that a lot of demand for their work could one day be taken by what generative AI is working towards. I just don't understand how we can reasonably call it theft/crime when a computer figures out how to make an image by looking at other images but not when humans do it. The whole thing seems like an appeal to emotion.

That's it, you're going in the dungeon

Are they very much against commies?

We're not, OP is just butthurt about Their Guy™ getting publicly dunked on for tankie branded censorship

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

We're against tankies, pay attention dude

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

Authoritarianism

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

What Marxists get the pass, and which don't?

Non-authoritarians and authoritarians respectively. It's not that complicated.

There are no .world communities for Communism

Did you seriously not even look? Or do you not understand how the fediverse works

Return2ozma got banned on Lemmy.world for criticizing Biden.

Doubt.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

How about "advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom"?

Show me a Marxist community on Lemmy.world that actually has participants, lol

Accessed via .world, moderated by a .world user. I also moderate an openly pro-communist community from .world, !196.

You don't understand how Lemmy works.

You can see why Return2Ozma was banned

He was banned from c/politics, not from .world. The c/politics rules aren't .world rules. He made a post from .world literally a few hours ago.

(I don't agree with the ban either, btw)

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

To be fair I didn't see anything all that bad when I skimmed Hexbear but clearly Lemmygrad has no shortage of CCP and Stalin apologists.

Either way, I don't know why you're whining at me about a decision I didn't make or agree to, and has nothing to do with why I don't approve of tankie rhetoric.

Communism is a lemmy.ml community ... Lemmy.world does not host any communist communities

Which is accessible by .world users, so why would we need a new one that isn't as active? Lemm.ee doesn't have an ALTA community, do you think they all hate ALTA?

196 is an Anarchist community, not a Marxist one. Supporting Marxism can get you banned there.

We're a leftist community. I've never seen someone get banned for supporting Marxism, and I'd invite you to post to your heart's content but the crux of your issue seems to be that we have very different definitions of authoritarianism/tankie posting.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

CCP/Stalin apologists, people who defend the CPP/Stalin.

Lemmy.world having no Marxist communities ...

Still has nothing to do with my disapproval of tankie rhetoric. Personally I think everyone should be given a chance to have a civil discussion even if I disagree, but defederation isn't my decision.

but very quickly Marxists get branded "tankies" and get banned.

I've never seen a shred of evidence for this, and I can see the modlog. I'm open to checking it out and advocating change if you actually have something to support this, but frankly, you running defense for Lemmygrad doesn't exactly lend you any credibility.

If you post Marxist/communist/socialist stuff without a hint of tankie shit or authoritarian apologetics and it gets you banned, you have it here on record that I'll personally defend you and advocate for change in the community.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

You've gotta be being deliberately obtuse.

How about "advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom"?

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

CCP/Stalin apologists, people who defend the CPP/Stalin.

How about "advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom"?

If you genuinely still don't understand what it means to defend authoritarianism, I can't help you. It doesn't get more specific than what I've already given you.

Otherwise, I'm not going to keep entertaining willful ignorance.

Seconding the request for a shred of precedent for the things 4am mentioned being grounds for litigation

The crux of your issue seems to be that you're deliberately ignoring that the first guy owns his software.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

It's not illegal to modify software that you own, regardless of what Adobe wants. That, for the second time, is the precedent we're challenging you to find.
