Oh I get it now. I thought there's some backstory that either Nathan Baschez or Simon Willison lied about having a CS degree.
You have a level of faith in humanity that is completely unwarranted.
Your mum is an antique.
Wait, wait, wait. I didn't realize this before. Who the F needs to lie about not having a CS degree? Being a code monkey is (or at least used to be) something, where you can get away with not having a degree.
I unfortunately do understand. I think there are severe tradeoffs between living a good life and living a virtuous life. Most people usually compromise to lesser or greater degree and find ways to cope with that. Nihilism is one way.
I think I understand it. Think of an alcoholic that's trying every sort of miracle hangover "cure" instead of drinking less.
Two thoughts:
That this is not just some random AI generated graphic, but from official Microsoft tutorial is unpleasantly unsurprising.
I think the tinm (timn ?) axis goes the wrong way.
the model was supposed to be trained solely on his own art
much simpler models are practically impossible to train without an existing model to build upon. With GenAI it's safe to assume that training that base model included large scale scraping without consent
"The Camp of the Saints is a 1973 French dystopian fiction novel by author and explorer Jean Raspail. A speculative fictional account, it depicts the destruction of Western civilization through Third World mass immigration to France and the Western world."
More of a train whistle than a dog whistle this one.
That article gave me a whiplash. First part: pretty cool. Second part: deeply questionable.
For example these two paragraphs from sections 'problem with code' and 'magic of data':
“Modular and interpretable code” sounds great until you are staring at 100 modules with 100,000 lines of code each and someone is asking you to interpret it.
Regardless of how complicated your program’s behavior is, if you write it as a neural network, the program remains interpretable. To know what your neural network actually does, just read the dataset
Well, "just read the dataset bro" sound great sounds great until you are staring at a dataset with 100 000 examples and someone is asking you to interpret it.

Apparently some of our AI Safety cult "friends" are planning a protest in London on 28th of February.
Is it going to be something worth critically supporting instead of the usual criti-hype? Possible, but not likely.
The AI Safety movement is finally changing by ~~Sillyconversations~~ Siliconversations.
Who?
Oh, okay.
Also curious that they're not protesting Anthropic on the thumbnail. A cynic would say they're giving them free pass because they say the right shibboleths.
