To sanitize the traumatic video as much as possible: A man is driving under an overpass and a brick is dropped through the passenger side window instantly killing his wife. He reacts in horror.

Using autistic as a derogatory slur is rude for no reason.

It also adds noise to the site metrics and recommendation algorithm making them less valuable overall.

It’s like the application that will watermark images with digital noise designed to throw off AI training that uses that image.

You’re no longer a user who is able to be profiled (because you ‘like’ things completely at random). If everyone was using a plugin like this then advertisers wouldn’t be able to serve targeted content because they wouldn’t know what content types work best for each user because every user clicks ads randomly and so there is no detectable signal, just noise.

You get the same effect, but reduced, if less people are using it.

In addition, if half of the users on a website are using adblockers and suddenly those users start clicking ads, then it costs twice as much to advertise while not providing any additional customers which makes spending money on web advertisement less attractive.

It’s not even practically the same thing, it is exactly the same plugin as uBlock Origin, same UI, blocklists, etc but with added features.

Exactly. You can’t completely avoid being tracked but you can ensure that your profile is just noise without any value to advertisers

Yeah.

Is that a fucking problem?

Yes this isn’t limited to billionaires. It protects everyone who owns private jets…

This is a post about anti-AI warriors

It isn’t fundamentally incompatible, there is just a lack of drivers.

You don’t need new hardware, you need driver support.

Also why you can’t take him out to a bar, storming brighteyes…

The article says that they would just lie too.

Like, they claimed one guy (18) was there to meet a minor (17). When the reporter reviewed the logs it was clear that he was there to meet an 18 year old.

Getting views is more important than catching a bad guy

I’m over here heating water in a kettle because of Technology Connections (and also pre-heating my dishwasher)

I don’t get my news from tante.cc

But the fact that I don’t use them for my news doesn’t mean that they’re not lying (“editorializing”) for profit, which is a bad thing for everyone who cares about not being misinformed since people, who do read trash like this, use this kind of ‘news’ as the basis of their opinions.

They loosened moderation on style-based prompts. That’s the ‘real’ story. The End. But…

…some users on Reddit/X (hard to pin down exactly where, as these things go) made it a meme to ‘Ghibli-fy’ images because it is easy now (despite being trivially easy to do in ComfyUI for over a year) and then, in an attempt to monetize the meme/outrage, “”“news websites”“” started producing articles like this one were written using old quotes to imply that there is some sort of ongoing drama between OpenAI and Studio Ghibli.

It’s just manufactured drama built on Internet memes and outrage farming media sites.

All diffusion and language models are autoregressive. That just means that the output is fed back in as input until the task is complete.

With diffusion models this means that it is fed an image that is 100% noise and it removes some small percentage of the noise and then then the denoised image is fed back in and another small percentage is removed. This is repeated until a defined stopping points (usually a set number of passes).

Combining images and using one image to control the generation of another has been available for quite a while. Controlnet and IPAdapters let you do exactly that: ‘Put this coat on this person’ or ‘Take this picture and do it in this style’. Here’s an 11 month old YouTube video explaining how to do this using open source models and software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmwZGC8UVHE

It’s nice for non-technical people that OpenAI will sell you a subscription in order to access an agent that can perform these kinds of image generation abilities, but it’s not doing anything new in terms of image generation.

Either way this isn’t a news article, it’s a blog post. Who cares if it’s editorialized?

People who would rather hear the truth and not fancy lies that appeal to the masses.

You’re implying that this is against the law without ever bothering to prove the implication.

Is it really a ‘move to allow’ style prompts? They’re just no longer preventing people from doing that.

It’s weird that people who profess to be staunch defenders of art don’t understand that stealing styles is fundamental to art. If enough people steal a specific style then art history just labels it a ‘movement’. Look on this page: https://magazine.artland.com/art-movements-and-styles/ and you can see that the thing they’re describing is a lot of people copying the same style.

Drum and Bass, a music genre, was essentially built on a “”“”“stolen”“”" clip from The Winstons in a song called Amen, Brother. The Amen break (you’ve certainly heard it even if you don’t know the name) is copied over and over and over.

This is just the latest social media trend trying to shoehorn issues into the ‘AI-bad’ meme. Stealing styles is not unusual or even immoral. It is literally the foundation of art.

This is just outrage farming, because 1. People are familiar with this style and 2. The primary artist who made the style popular is against AI.

They’re really playing with fire here.

So many MAGA supporters are seniors who are entirely dependent on OASDI. If Trump’s minions break this, we’re going to see torches and pitchforks strapped to electric scooters and golf carts coming out of Florida retirement communities in droves.

I learned to fix so many problems in order to get free music, movies, tvshows and gamesviruses.
