  • What? No, that’s wrong. They can, for example, create a picture of a monkey made of yarn. Does that mean they were trained on pictures of ‘yarn monkeys’?

    No, they had pictures of monkeys and pictures of things made of yarn; therefore, they can create pictures of ‘yarn monkeys’.

    If you want to learn more about that, the specific term is ‘latent space’.

    If AIs could only reproduce their training data they would be completely useless.



  • I’m not against the abolition of the plastic straw. It’s a step in the right direction. But if you look around in a supermarket and count the plastic on the shelves…

    The plastic straw ban was a drop in the ocean, a symbolic act, a propaganda piece without addressing the heart of the problem.

    What would have been a real solution? Make plastic more expensive, for example by introducing a tax going towards research for a solution and subsidizing plastic alternatives.

    Why wasn’t something like that done before? It would cost money, and rich doners control the politicians.

    So we get performative actions only - rolled back by the next government of course.





  • One of the most brilliant (and evil) tricks that big corporations have used is to shift the blame for climate change to normal people: just recycle, don’t use plastic straws, and buy our CO₂-neutral products, and everything will be fine!

    While not unimportant, it’s a very small change compared to the pollution of corporations and private jets. It’s easy for them to pay lip service to the environment while the real pollution goes on unimpeded.

    Environmentally inclined people feel like they do something and don’t rally against the real problem. They just have to convince everyone to live like they do and the environment will be saved!






  • No, killing Art and turning your brain into sludge is just the by-product. The intention of the techno fascists is to create a permanent underclass, forced to serve the rich and live in poverty. You know, slavery for everyone except the 1%.

    Just imagine a future where police and military are just drones controlled by an AI. Jobs are few and therefore badly paid. And on top of it the rich in their luxury bunkers watching us fight for the scraps and dying from climate change and malnutrition.
