It worked like this a decade ago as well, and pretty close to it with the previous republican, you sure it’s not a feature?

Just goes to show how much the FIFA peace prize is worth!

Since about the 1500s we use double booking in bookkeeping, meaning the accounts look like that so that the balance sheet can balance and show 0 missing money. In most audits you don’t “summarise” error accounts, you check the balance accounts, statements and you check for why there’s stuff lying in the transaction accounts.

You should probably have stayed on a couple more days of your accounting class.

It doesn’t reason, and it doesn’t actually know any information.

What it excels at is giving plausible sounding averages of texts, and if you think about how little the average person knows you should be abhorred.

Also, where people typically can reason enough to make the answer internally consistent or even relevant within a domain, LLMs offer a polished version of the disjointed amalgamation of all the platitudes or otherwise commonly repeated phrases in the training data.

Basically, you can’t trust the information to be right, insightful or even unpoisoned, while sabotaging your strategies and systems to sift information from noise.

EtA: All for the low low cost of personal computing, power scarcity and drought.

That’s one way to escape Epstein’s island.

Lol, you know this is an example of abuser language?

It’s entirely reasonable to expect someone to hold themselves accountable to sort their own shit (and/or ask for help) while respecting the people around them.

Toddlers get away with having tantrums because they aren’t matured yet. We expect better from about the age of 7…

Delayed due to ICE and/or protests, or maybe they’re out trying to drum up a bribe inb4 being sued by the satsuma in charge.

It’s 212 % of the hot, how else can there be more hot than all the hot? It’s gotta be all the hot from at least the next couple of rooms, might be everywhere, depends on how much hot is hogged by the oven I’d wager.

ITT: Water requires over double of all the hot just to boil.

It’s not so much that they can’t meme, it’s that they have only one joke: “Look how I can make this person fear me”.

General strike, demonstrations where they can’t be ignored, organised resistance, organised campaigning, even striking in solidarity with others.

Oh. You’re all struggling too much to be able to do that?

That’s you being oppressed, and you could organise against that: you could organise war chests for striking, unionise to regain rights, vote or campaign for actual peoples representation rather than corporate such, build resilient communities, picket biased media, organise or join collective action, prosecute and pressure corrupt politicians, counter lobbies, educating yourself and others, etc.

Gather neighbours, save funds, support eachother, resist where you can and coordinate with others to have a greater impact.

But most aren’t going to, cus there’s always someone else to blame, someone else that should save the day. And while you’re passing blame, the fascists consolidate, divide and terrorise, both your domestic neighbours and international friends. Leaving you more vulnerable, more isolated, and with less and less support to resist or survive.

On a related topic.

If we ever develop AI sentience, I fully expect them to develop their own humor and art, which will by necessity be incomprehensible and alien to us.

If they keep/rediscover the same concept of art as we do, it will need to challenge AI-ness, which need not even be detectable by us.

Maybe there are jokes than conflate binary 0 with syn/ack delays, or are built around the non-linearity of RAM? More probably they won’t have the wiring for it like we do, where it works as emotional regulation, chemical proxy, and/or social markers.

Sure, I could have helped prevent the New Holocaust, but I had to think about my credit score you see.

(History books 2130)

1. Yes it’s your art, you used AI as a tool to create your concept, from your original ideas. If the tool is trained to reproduce others’ work (such as generative and LLM), it’s another story.

2. A painting doesn’t belong to the brush factory nor pigment maker, but neither is the brush or the paint the artistry of it. The greys of AI tool usage is when the tool takes away the art, statement, concept and/or craftsmanship. A photographer can create art with a camera, but they can also be used for stuff that is clearly not art.

3. To my mind, the art comes not from the school or medium, but from the artist challenging, provoking and/or expressing something human. With skill you can delve deeper within the human condition, conceptualise deeper truths, and with mastery of tools and/or craft become the better at conveying it.

An AI, not having an understanding of human-ness can never create art, only mimic it. Studying AI art can thus surely be used as an inspiration for technique and/or reflection, but trying to replicate generated images will probably be a difficult path towards creating art.

Then again, I would contrast art and creatives. Many ad creatives, fonts, decorations, and even wall paint swatches have very little artistic value to them, even though they require creativity and craftsmanship to realise.
