  • It is conceivable.

    For example, imagine a society like ours but where everyone, no matter their wealth, has to do essential jobs, taking turns. For example everyone in your city needs to be a garbage collector for one week every 2 years, or they need to work in hospitals to help clean patients for a week every year, maybe you need to work in the fields for a month every 2 years, basically all jobs that people only do because they can't do anything less tiresome plus jobs that are now almost fully automated to produce essentials but still require some labour.

    In that system, you'd always have enough workforce to give everyone enough food, homes, healthcare and education to live, while people might still work at secondary non-essential jobs, voluntarily, and gaining a bit more to have their fancy cars and yatch.

    This is a conceptual society where, despite the possibility for individual differences, you don't really have classes, because no matter if you were born in poverty or you are Elon Musk, you all have to take part on essential services equally.

  • I recently made a pdf with some of my notes on hints of AI in images and music, but I'm not sure how to send files here

    It's not easy ofc, and it will get harder with time, but I am convinced we can tell if trained a bit. Because there are clear differences in the creative processes between humans and machines, which will always result in different biases

    With time I think we'll learn to only trust people we have some social connection with, so we know they are real and they don't use AI (or they use it up to a level acceptable to us)

  • This could go wrong in so many ways

  • Is that a big pigeon shadow on the top?

  • Tbf to them it's not their fault that the once leftwing party "randomly" decided to put a boneless liberal right before an election that had them winning for sure

    I wonder what lobbies and their media have to say about that magic trick

  • There's a german techno band called Scooter, they made a song called How Much is the Fish, and another one called the phrase I wrote

  • You could try Google's new NotebookLM if the legal writing is a book, or even just a long document

    Otherwise just use any llm and ask step by step checking references

  • The question is what is the question

  • Imo the main difference would be that genAI models have been trained on a whole lot of art without consent, and the few privileged companies who are able to do this are making a ton of money (mainly by investors, not sure how much from paying users). Which is very extractive and centralised. Using others' art to do memes at least is distributed and not that remunerative

    Putting AI aside, if we see art used in a meme of a random shitposter, it feels different than a political party or a big corporation using that art to do meme propaganda/advertisement.

    Another interesting field for this is YouTube poops. They use tons of copyrighted materials, from big movies to local youtubers to advertisement. I would consider that fair, but if instead a big television network had a program showing youtubers' content without permission that's another story

    Another example: Undertale's soundtrack being made with Earthbound's sound effects and samples. If it weren't an indie, especially if it was a big publisher using an indie's sounds, it wouldn't have been well received.

    So back to AI, when it comes to a person using it for their own projects, the issue to me isn't really using stolen art, but using a tool that was made with an extractive theft of art by a big corporation, rather than seeking collaboration with artists, using existing CreativeCommons stuff, etc.

    We also have to keep the context in mind: copyright laws mainly serve big publishers, hardly ever it protects smaller creators from such big publishers, in any field. The genAI training race is based on a complete lack of interest in applying or at least discussing the law.

    I'm glad to see tho that thanks to this phenomenon more and more people are seeing how IP doesn't make any sense to begin with. Just keep in mind copyright and attribution are two different things.

  • I just really have to say that in my experience and for what friends have told, that is simply not a realistic concern in my mind

    As for it being "more common" than abuse, I just have your word for it. And I simply don't believe it. Because female friends talking about sexual abuse is something both more taboo and more frequently happened to me, than male friends telling me they had to jump a date because the girl was a gold digger.

    Hence our difference of views on this

    Ofc my suggestion is not to date people until you know them a bit, if that's so common in your life.

  • Yeah... you see, exactly because people who think like you exist, women have to look for clues right away that they are not going to date a misogynist...

    Women need protection when meeting with strangers, basically all women have life experience that make them feel they need it. I'm sure you as a guy are able to take no for an answer, but your date doesn't know that yet, and it takes just one guy who doesn't to ruin a woman's dating experience and possibly her health and safety.

    I do know women who don't feel that need, but that's mostly because they are ignoring their own and their friends' past experiences. It's their choice ofc, but it's universally accepted among women that it's not a strange thing to do, in fact is the safest thing to do.

    If some women then abuse that need to try to freeride, it's another discussion, and as a guy I would simply drop the date if I were in that situation. But the need exists, it is valid, and not validating this need to your date will raise a red flag.

  • I see... Yeah I'm pretty sure that in such a case, where I'm expected to pay, not even asked to, I would definitely cancel, be it one or two people... This is so uncommon in m6 experience that I didn't even think that could be a case

  • Mh is he not showing he's annoyed by her friend tagging along? And why bringing money up?

    I mean, if it were happening to me, where I live, I wouldn't even think she was going to expect me to pay not even for herself, and if she ends up expecting or pressuring me, I just know she's not the one. What's there to be scared of? Worst case scenario I just leave my part on the table and go away

    I know of memes about women going to first fates just to have nights out without paying, but it's very far from what I see happening where I live, and I suspect it's just manophase echo chamberism. Because, again, one can just put their part on the table and leave, and perhaps date within one's social circle so to avoid this kind of social distortion

  • Dude showed he's annoyed seeing girl seeks protection, by calling the friend RoboCop, and implied she might have wanted him to pay for both, putting carriage before horses.

    What you say literally can often show what you think inside, and in a first date scenario every sign will be interpreted

    For example, not showing much respect for the female need for protection on a first date can mean dude doesn't think women have reason to feel unsafe

  • Artichokes

  • I think generators have some kind of inherent style that we somehow learn to recognise

    Like sure they have learned on thousands of styles for each type of image, and you have some control of the style through prompt, but one issue with the transformer decoder model (the principles of which back almost all genAI at this point) is that at each generation step it gets the stuff generated so far as input.

    This feedback loop might induce repeated choices even on different prompts in the later stages of the generation. This is not apparent on images because they are seen all at once, but it is pretty evident on Suno (at least v3): later parts of different songs might share sounds. At least in my experiments making it generate EDM. I'm now able to spot the synth it often ends up creating.

    In terms of pictures and videos, that might be a reason generated stuff are consistently uncanny across image types.

  • William Shatner is that you

  • Aside from who backs these studies and how is data collected, my real question is why do we really care, like, is that really some issue?

  • Oh, that true? I should catch up
