I think I understand it. It makes sense if his goals were to 1) release this information and 2) survive afterwards. Doing #1 was relatively easy, as he had the access to accomplish it.
But to then stay alive and (relatively) free required being beyond the reach of the US government. Being in the States is out of the question, and by extension so is being in any country with an extradition treaty with the US. I don't know what all the options were, but ultimately he chose Russia as the place he would live.
If you assume his goal is freedom for mankind in general, it does seem hypocritical to go running to an authoritarian country for safety. But it seems pretty clear he wasn't motivated by a vague principle, but rather wanting to blow the whistle on a specific injustice he saw.
That's fair. I'll admit I've not done it myself, I've only seen folks talking about it -- and of the people I personally know that have done it, the activity has been described as clicking regenerate until you like the results.
Agreed. Consider this absolutely batshit take from the reddit post linked in the article.
Your art looks pretty good, so most people wouldn't be able to tell it's AI unless you told them it's AI.
Generally it's always best to just lie and tell everyone you made it yourself, just to avoid all the toxic people that hate AI, because not having to read hateful comments from people like that is reason enough to lie. Don't need to provide any evidence or go into details, just tell everyone you made it yourself and ignore anyone that question it.
"Your art". I'm sure clicking the "regenerate" button on mid journey for 5 hours took lots of work. It's hard not to feel real hate for these people.
In the context of the conversation we're currently having? Yeah it does matter, because the person I was replying to suggested that all Jews support what Israel is doing.
Relatable. In our rush to say the clever thing we're thinking, we don't stop to double check that we read it correctly in the first place. I've been guilty of that too many times....
Not even then. There are countless examples of corrupt prosecutors pushing through convictions because they want a win, even when it was clear the accused was innocent.
Without an absolutely perfect system of justice, I'm not willing to trust the state with executions in any circumstances.
It's a joke about how the head of Ubisoft referred to the game Skull And Bones as a "quadruple-A" game. The highest-budget games are often classified as "triple-A", though people also tend to use the term as a way to indicate size or quality. By calling S&B an AAAA game he was signaling that it would be in a class of its own in terms of quality, most likely.
The game itself has been pretty universally considered "meh" at best, so this meme is making fun of the original claim.
Hell yeah! Groovy programmer here, mapping closures over lists of objects.
