  • China blocks Nvidia H200 AI chips that US government cleared for export

    Jump

  • Yeah, because they can rent as much time as they need on those same chips already, from vGPU providers in non-sanctioned countries. China gets to look strong while losing nothing and making the US look weak; a massive theatrical dance around maintaining the status quo.

  • I messed up and may have put my life at risk

  • Don't worry, they went through a lot of crap just to find you in the pile, and you've clearly demonstrated you can do the job to their satisfaction during the interview process because they offered you the job. They're not going to check into your education history, they have no reason to. The only thing they care about is that you don't have a criminal history that you didn't tell them about. And you don't have one of those at all, disclosed or otherwise, so you're set to go. Chin up mate, and congratulations on the new job!

  • I have been cucked

    Jump

  • I bought it ages ago and am now waiting for it to be done before I pick it back up again. But I'm getting the urge to pick it back up anyway, sailing out into a storm to go serpent hunting is such a vibe!

  • The Netherlands won't condemn US over Venezuela action

    Jump

  • They didn't pick a side the last time the Nazis came around, either.

  • Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult"

    Jump

  • Maybe a better analogy would be the Ship of Theseus - how much of an AI-generated picture has to be replaced by human work for it to not be considered slop anymore?

  • Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult"

    Jump

  • I’ve seen the argument that if you’re generating an image and making some edits, you’re robbing yourself of original concepts

    This argument can also be deployed against Fair Use artworks, though, or tracing.

  • ICE Agent Who Killed Mother of Three Revealed as Iraq War Veteran With Immigrant Filipina Wife

    Jump

  • Iraq war veteran

    He has a history of terroristic activities, you say?

  • When you get hit so hard you actually do respect (and fear) your foe

    Jump

  • I learned the phrase "Pyrrhic Victory" from the Sega Genesis game, Centurion: Defender of Rome. I love that you included that here 🙌 (also, might be time to go boot up an emulator, that game was absolutely baller for the time, it has a chariot-racing minigame!)

  • Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult"

    Jump

  • As with much discussion of generative AI, the difficulty of Hooded Horse’s position is pinning down what they're trying to ban. Does an artwork count as generated if somebody used the tech to make a base image of some kind, then fleshed it out and finished it off at length by hand?

    A very salient question. Is someone generates a rough outline and then redraws it, fixing errors and making modifications with their human artist eye, is the thing they draw a problem? It will involve a human artist, and human artistic skill.

    Tracing is one way to teach children how to draw. If someone generates an image to trace for practice, is all their art problematic because they were trained with AI?

    This seems kind of like asking a vegan if they'd eat lab-grown meat... I think the answer depends heavily on why the person believes what they do in the first place.

  • Texas becomes first state to end American Bar Association oversight of law schools

    Jump

  • I just thought: what if this is a long play, to get bad lawyers into positions where they can set precedent?

    Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to log this off as a Texas problem.

  • Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police just released this

    Jump

  • Oh now they want due process? Hey, Minnesota FOP: where was Renee's due process? Which court sentenced her to death? Fuckin traitors.

  • [KG] The Laws (MoringMark)

    Jump

  • I love that trailer, I want that whole show made so badly ♥️

  • [KG] The Laws (MoringMark)

    Jump

  • Wait, this is a reference to Knights Of Guinevere. Is MoringMark an/the artist on that?

  • Texas becomes first state to end American Bar Association oversight of law schools

  • Later, in Texas:

  • Um.... no.... 🫩

    Jump

  • Lol. Lmao, even.

  • Is Autism something old or has it been developed recently?

    Jump

  • I was responding when you posted that, so I didn't see it, and you didn't respond to me, so if you hadn't said that I might not have seen it at all. And you didn't bother to look before responding to me because...?

    Moreover, I did you a favour by responding with relevant information instead of just telling you to educate yourself, and you want to act like I'm an asshole for pointing out why your question seemed disingenuous? Cool, cheers.

  • Is Autism something old or has it been developed recently?

    Jump

  • This seems incredibly disingenuous when you can just go search the internet for the definition, and why autism isn't a classified as mental illness, but sure, I'll humour you.

    "Autism" is a spectrum of developmental disorders that stem from those brain structure differences I mentioned. An illness is when something is wrong. Not just different, wrong. There's nothing "wrong" in an autistic person; autism is not a disease or sickness caused by some outside force like a virus or bacteria or drug; it's not transmissible, and it cannot be developed post hoc (meaning you can't acquire autism, you're born with it). There's no innate reduction in function. It can't be treated or cured; the symptoms of the mental illnesses caused by dealing with neurotypicals can, but again those aren't something we're born with; those are acquired.

    At the root of it, we just process information differently than a neurotypical person due to our brains growing differently. It's like saying ARM is "silicon illness" because it's not x86_64.
