  • 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.

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

    Jump

  • My only correction would be that autism isn't a mental illness. It's a difference in brain structure - synaptic density seems to play a significant role (https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/a-key-brain-difference-linked-to-autism-is-found-for-the-first-time-in-living-people/).

    "Eccentric" would indeed have been the word, even as late as the 80s. And that's just men; women often present symptoms differently, or different symptoms entirely and even today ASD can go unnoticed for much longer in young women.

  • [DS:R] Yo, which illusory walls are opened by rolling and which only by attacking?

    Jump

  • Yep! Unlike in Dark Souls 2, where some of them are revealed by hitting the interact key and some are revealed by rolling and it's not a bug or otherwise unintentional, it's just classic FromSoft game design (from the "fuck you and the crow you rode in on" school).

  • Baby's first Netflix movie 😍

    Jump

  • If it was indeed a take, maybe. What I wrote is known as a "joke". At least, that's what I call it when I say or write something that I don't necessarily think is true, but I do think is funny to write or say.

    As far as the actual act of prompting a "novel" out of an LLM and self publishing on Amazon goes, it's mostly harmless and I'm not mad. He could be doing much worse things with access to an AI model.

  • Resistance training load does not determine hypertrophy

    Jump

  • This is pretty huge, the researchers conclude that:

    • "low weight, high reps" and "high weight, low reps" have about equal results on muscle growth, as long as you work to fatigue (but obvs, higher weight means quicker fatigue)
    • this muscle growth is consistent for each person, but differs wildly between people (meaning some people are just naturally bigger and stronger, all else being equal)
    • muscle growth is drastically reduced after 10 weeks of regular exercise (smaller gains in strength and endurance)

    I feel so vindicated, insisting on doing calisthenics where I'm at instead of joining a gym I won't go to 😅
