You’re posting on hexbear.net…

Was this purely by prompt, or using img2img in Stable Diffusion?

Can’t exactly support a platform named tankie.tube.

This article has big “she’s not good enough, so we should stay home” energy.

The headline seems like a particularly reductive and shitty take, especially considering she’s a child of Indian and Jamaican parents.

You’d be surprised.

A Mastodon user stumbling upon one of these comments could easily assume that it is just another fully independent “toot” (Mastodon’s equivalent of tweet).

Wait, back up… Mastodon calls these “toots”? So, everybody is posting farts?

That’s the thing about automation and training models.

First, they implement some sort of auto-reporting bot that requires a human to review them. In the beginning, it only about 50% accurate, but as they give it more and more examples of good and bad results through the human reviews, it moves to 80%, then 90%, then 99%, then 99.99% accuracy.

After a while, the humans on the other end are so numb to the 9999 entries they have to mark as approved that they can barely tell what’s a rejection themselves, and the moderation team is asking itself just what this human review is actually doing. If it’s 99.99% accurate, why not let the bot decide?

Then, the model moves on from auto-reporting to auto-moderation.

Gee, I wonder why that so popular…

but is concerned about hosting fees for serving images to millions of people

People stopped caring about image bandwidth decades ago. Try wrangling a video-hosting problem, like PeerTube does.

Ditto.

It’s not an article. It’s a blog post. That’s the problem.

Please don’t recommend the PMG investigation.

Honestly, if it could get this sort of thing right, it would already have enough cognitive function for us to be scared of self-awareness.

Following or designing step-by-step instructions requires a lot of intelligence.

Not exactly, but it’s an interesting story

Same thing for Disco Elysium.

It’s open-sourced under an Apache 2.0 license. So, who the fuck cares where it came from? It’s a helluva lot more open-source than anything OpenAI or Midjourney is putting out.

Also, they still break the law and ask the question: “What the fuck are you going to do about it? Sue us?”

If you click on the article, spend two seconds on it, and don’t actually read it, have you actually fulfilled the marketing goals of the web site?

For one, you haven’t actually read anything, so there’s nothing to register “this is a good web site with good content and I will read their articles in the future”. No reputation bump from it.

And two, you didn’t have time to actually see the ads, that is, if you didn’t already had an ad-blocker in the first place.

The goals of clickbait don’t actually align with the goals of their profitability.

So brazen and obvious, and the excuses were barely anything.
