Make number go up with this one neat trick.

obtaining games through unauthorised means

If games are going to have DRM, collect our data through unauthorized means, and be randomly taken away without our authorization, then exactly what social contract are we upholding?

Not that bootleg videos are really even watchable in the first place. Anyone who has ever misconfigured Radarr and got excited that a movie showed up earlier than expected, only to find out it’s a shitty hdcam release knows the disappointment.

A screen recorded with Meta spy glasses would be worse. Hold your head still, damnit—no, look at the screen, not your popcorn, and chew quietly for fuck’s sake.

I suppose I’m not that up to date on Japanese government and politics. Can you elaborate?

Andrew Ng said artificial neural networks are like a “cartoon brain”, which I think is pretty apt. It’s cool that having billions of parameters (cartoon “synapses”) can result in emergent behavior where a machine can “reason”. That was the original idea from as far back as the 1940s, and now we have the compute and have found a transformer architecture that can achieve the original vision. Very cool indeed. What’s not cool is the tech bros turning the tech into a large scale game of blackjack.

If streaming shitty shows doesn’t work out, they could always change the spelling to “Pee Cock” and do porn instead.

It makes sense that if you can’t be bothered to write it, then I can’t be bothered to read it.

Also, the term “AI slop” puts the blame on a machine instead of the lazy human who doesn’t give a shit and can’t be bothered to so much as proofread a machine’s output based on their half-assed input before subjecting other humans to it and wasting their time.

The emergent behavior in huge models where it can “reason” instead of simply predicting the next token is fascinating. Artificial “neurons” built on statistics and linear algebra emerge to create something that legitimately has artificial intelligence. ANNs were conceived in the 1940s, building on centuries of development in statistical modeling and only now do we have the compute power to make this vision a reality.

Yes, the “intelligence” has significant limitations and won’t be replacing human intelligence anytime soon, but it can actually be a useful tool if its limitations are kept in mind.

The problem is of course the tech bros turning centuries of innovation they had no part in developing into a massive Ponzi scheme for their own profit.

Same.

Right? Hunyuan 3D is open weight, free to use, and probably not too far off from the cloud-based services that charge per credit.

Yes, dipshits like that should be banned from the medical profession.

It will have strong privacy and security options so you can trust it to handle all of your personal content knowing that no one else can access your information, similar to how encryption works on WhatsApp

Judging by how “private” WhatsApp is, no fucking thank you.
