Sure, there's a gorilla with a gun, but I'm worried about how homeboy is holding his drink. That's a spill waiting to happen!

Do you see a young woman or an old lady?

If a rando offered me a drink I'd expect to wake up missing my kidneys.

Jilanico , 23 days ago

Either way I'd probably say no thanks, I'm good. But if I were to accept it, sealed reduces suspicion by 20% because tampering is still possible. Purchased reduces suspicion by 97.3%, but randos don't randomly buy things for other randos, so I would be looking for the person filming the tiktok prank or brace myself for the evangelizing that comes with the free drink.

Plot twist: these are 6 legged bed bugs. The survivor was right, but now it has to live with the fact that its last words to its buddy were, "You're stupid."

It's bigger. Does that mean it burns more fuel or has more emissions than a 40 year old car? I'm all for saving the planet, but I'm not sure big automatically means worse. I could be wrong.

They are still gonna be less effecient than smaller, lighter models with modern technology.

Agreed and I'm sure bmw makes smaller models, so this pic is rage bait.

Another factor is bigger vehicles are deadlier.

Deadlier for whom? My guess is the passengers of a bigger vehicle are safer. A pedestrian being hit by a small car or big car is likely ruined either way. An SUV hitting a small car, maybe the small car's passengers are in trouble, though perhaps advancements in safety have increased survival, idk.

BMW does offer small models tho. This pic is comparing apples with oranges.

Jilanico , 1 month ago

Fair. Tech (sensors, cameras, etc.) could reduce this risk, but you make a fair point.

Jilanico , 1 month ago

Exactly. This pic is comparing apples with oranges to get a rise out of us. There are irrefutable arguments for saving the planet, we don't need this low IQ rage bait.

Thank you for sharing actual data 🤝

You're right. That's another way this image was specifically tailored to make us come to a conclusion.

Jilanico , 1 month ago

I stand corrected. Appreciate the data. Thanks for educating me on that! 👍

There are mobile phones in the picture too.

Streetwear has lost its way 😢

We let it happen, imo. The bling era of incorporating high fashion into streetwear to show off let luxury brands co-opt it.

How about coffee shops with e-readers built into the tables preloaded with an enormous collection of books?

I already know I'm going to be downvoted all to hell, but just putting it out there that neural networks aren't just copy pasting. If a talented artist replicates a picture of the joker almost perfectly, they are applauded. If an AI does it, that's bad? Why are humans allowed to be "inspired" by copyrighted material, but AIs aren't?

Jilanico , 5 months ago

Because this proves that the “AI”, at some level, is storing the data of the Joker movie screenshot somewhere inside of its training set.

Is it tho? Honest question.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

That's why I put inspired in quotes. It's analogous to a human seeing something on the Internet and coming up with similar art or building upon it.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

Tons of human made art isn't inspired by nature. Rather it's inspired by other human made art. Neural networks don't just copy paste like a yt plagiarist. You can ask an AI to plagiarize but no guarantee it'll get it right.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

It's too hard to type up how generative AIs work, but look up a video on "how stable diffusion works" or something like that. I seriously doubt they have a massive database with every image from the Internet inside it, with the AI just spitting those pics out, but I'm no expert.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

So stable diffusion, midjourney, etc., all have massive databases with every picture on the Internet stored in them? I know the AI models are trained on lots of images, but are the images actually stored? I'm skeptical, but I'm no expert.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

I agree, but I don't think these generative AIs actually store image files off the Internet in a massive database. I could be wrong.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

I think the onus is on the user of the AI. I could use Photoshop to make a joker pic and sell it for money. Should Photoshop be banned? The AI lets me do the same thing faster.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

If you asked me to draw an Italian video game character, I'd draw Mario too. Why can't an AI make copyrighted character inspired pics as long as they aren't being sold?

Jilanico , 5 months ago

Some do. Should we jail all the talented artists with photographic memories?

Jilanico , 5 months ago

Looking at a copyrighted font with your computer means the font is in your computer's memory. Do I go to jail for every site I visit that uses a fancy font?

Font files ≠ framebuffer

Images ≠ neural network weights

Jilanico , 5 months ago

That's an interesting point. We're forced to make a judgement call because we don't have total control over what it generates.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

Most of the stuff that inspires me probably wasn't paid for. I just randomly saw it online or on the street, much like an AI.

AI using straight up pirated content does give me pause tho.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

That's a good point. Musicians have been known to accidentally reproduce the same beat as another musician (was is done subconsciously or just coincidence?). Some books are strikingly similar to other books that it makes you wonder if it was a rip off or just coincidence. So it's nothing new, but it may become more prevalent with AI. This could spawn a new industry of investigators ensuring your AI generated art isn't infringing on any copyrights 🤔

Jilanico , 5 months ago

The stuff I sell on jilanico.com? Enough to make it worth my while.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

The framebuffer on your computer copies the data to display the font to you. That's my point. Not every form of copying infringes on copyright.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

When you look at a picture of the joker online, your browser is caching an image file of the joker on your computer. Is that not an illegal copy?

Jilanico , 5 months ago

I don't think anyone is advocating to legalize the sale of copyrighted material made via AI.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

I really do not believe midjourney is storing all the files on the Internet in a humongous database. They are just exposing the AI to them for training just like you expose your computer to them when you visit with your web browser. I'm happy to be wrong about this, but I'm just not convinced. Please try to keep your temper.

Jilanico , 5 months ago

That makes them a humongous database

I understand why you're saying that, but I personally don't agree. As AIs face legal challenges, maybe your opinion will be adopted, we'll see.

Lose your first several games quickly.

That was the advice given to me from my teacher so just passing it along :) I think it means all the options can be overwhelming, so don't overthink it and just play without hope of winning. You'll soon get a feel for what good moves are.

He also lent me a book that helped, so consider doing some reading. I wish I remembered the book's name. There is also this site: https://senseis.xmp.net/

Y'all should also play against other opponents/AI. Intermediate level opponents will help you to grow.

It's an amazing game. Glad y'all found it :)
