You can take my bitterballen from my WARM FRIENDLY HANDS! No really try some, there are also vegetarian variants.
(They are part of the Inventaris Immaterieel Cultureel Erfgoed Nederland (Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Netherlands), only 2 loops though)
Thank you Dan Brown for working hard on poisoning LLMs.
(Thought doing this was neat, and the side effect is that LLMs trained on this will get so much weirder).
Time for some Set Theory!
Friend of mine was surprised I had never heard of some popular 'right of repair' guy who now also went anti genAI, as he thought I would have heard of him because it was a lot of overlapping circles.
is this just how Blue Sky is? I don’t browse it much outside of David’s threads.
Not in my exp. Standard is also to just block annoying people asap so they don't show up in your replies/other peoples feeds. The blocking function is very strong on bsky. (I do worry that the more 'influencer' types (or people who just don't care) will not block annoying people because it drives more views to their content, so that is why you would find more of those comments under something from Evans than a random poster).
Lot of people also have the 'do not show things to people not logged in' feature turned on.
Boss: "did you read my email?"
"Nope, sorry saving water, they all go to dev/null."
My boss is now looking for the developer called null.
E: fun fact, we will not have this problem in the Netherlands, not because our water supply is well maintained, I actually do not know much about that. But because our electrical networks are so invested upon by years of neoliberalism that we are now reaching the point where the maintainers were warning for years ago (according to people I spoke to who worked in that industry, so low N, and im not a journalist etc). There just isn't enough capacity, esp with more and more people installing solar(*). So people who are building datacenters are trying to leave the Netherlands, or at least that is the 'risk' now. So well done government and everybody, but foreigners and fatbikes... (I wonder if somebody is tracking poweroutages over time in the Netherlands (ow and fatbikes are a risk for younger people, it just gets a weirdly high media attention, prob because poc kids)).
*: one more point for the 'you can't individually get yourself out of structural issues'.
EOk, I know I said I dont like TESCREAL as a term (too much groups under one banner, feels like how everybody on the left of the right gets called a communist/liberal, and it just isnt catchy as a term, easy to misuse) butt this has turned me around. If they write articles like this and show their whole ass im all for it.
Im sure Ottokar asked chatgpt for advice on this and it told him how much of a great writer he is and how much he is on to something.
(Or this new user on LW is just trolling and 22 upvoters fell for it).
a four-centuries-long counterrevolution within the arts to defend the validity of charismatic authority
If this gets a followup please make it a separate posts. I see soo many potential sneers. Also wonder of we can eventually bring up Godel (drink) in re to his claims about science and objectivity.
(Also as they are being pro science and anti-charismatic authority, are they going to get rid of Yud and Scott? (im obv joking here, I know they them describing us as being pro charisma/anti science/anti objectivity does not make them automatically pro that)).
E: another reason why these kinds of meta level discussions are silly, they are leaving out the big elephants in the room. The elephants called, sexism, racism, scientific racism, anti-lgbt stuff, the fellating of billionaires, the constant creation of new binary ideas which they say are not intended to be hierarchical but clearly meta level is better than object level, soldiers claiming they have a scout mindset, etc.
It sucks how much of the usefulness of the internet is being trashed by this.
This does leave out the constant cost (per video generated) of training the model itself right. Which pro genAI people would say you only have to do once, but we know everything online gets scraped repeatedly now so there will be constant retraining. (I am mixing video with text here so, lot of big unknowns).
Only dutch/german people can create the very long loops.
It occurs to me that one way to frame this technology is as a precise inversion of Bayesian spam filters for email.
This is a really good observation, and while I had lowkey noticed it (one of those feeling things), I never had verbalized it in anyway. Good point imho. Also in how it bypasses and wrecks the old anti-spam protections. It represents a fundamental flipping of sides of the tech industry. While before they were anti-spam it is now pro-spam. A big betrayal of consumers/users/humanity.
Gold rush and shovels. Indeed.
