Hey, Do Yall Remember How Tencent Said They Were Developing FaceID AI To Identify People In Riots, And

Hey, do y’all remember how Tencent said they were developing faceID AI to identify people in riots, and then they suddenly created an AI art generator to turn your selfies into anime?

Do y’all remember that time that someone discovered facial recognition cameras couldn't see through Juggalo makeup, then Facebook had a fun “see what you'd look like with Juggalo makeup” thing, and then facial recognition cameras could suddenly see through Juggalo makeup?

Do y’all remember how, on Twitter, Elon started a tirade against artists who ask for credit when their art is reposted, and he suddenly he created one of the first big art AI programs?

Do y’all remember how AI destroyed the field of freelance translation, despite the inferiority of the machine translations, because companies didn’t care about the quality of the translations? They just wanted it done for free?

Do y’all know how companies will see a lot of money going into a New Tech Thing (like, say, AI art apps) and will jump to try and implement that New Tech Thing into their tech? For example, how it felt like every big company and celebrity had an NFT to sell?

Just wondering.

Fun fact about Denmark.

We are a tiny country. Yet we have gangster rappers.

Where "gangster" is a weird injoke. Because Denmark do not have the same cultural events as that genre sorta demands.

So when the rappers try to do things that their genre encourages, like yelling what area, especially areas of different gangs they have to compensate

They do this by yelling their postcode.

I swear. It is hilarious every time.

"My name is LOC and I am from 8210!" In their best I-am-a-serious-gangster-rapper white people voice.

It's beautiful

The question is not " How do I fight against my OS to get a only somewhat shitty user experience"

The question is "How do I install linux" and there are answers out there my friend!

Go! Run! Be free!

Getting a new computer soon. Where’s that windows debloat guide people post every so often

Oooooh

But I dont want to teleport and suddey BE Granny Weatherwax.

I want to live my life in ways that allow me to become somone that have her good sides, while trying to minimize her bad.

You know that intriguing backstory that we get little flashes of in the book?

THAT is who I want to be!

I want to be Granny Weatherwax'es backstory!

i do think it's cute how many posts on here are like "i want to be granny weatherwax when i grow up!" like it's sweet but also yes the perfect grown human ideal that we all have to aspire to is a 70-something yr old huge bitch

Also a fun bonus fact.

It also makes Large Language Models like Co-pilot freak out.

Anything about killing, children, master, slaves or other naughty words triggers crude detectors that tries to ban these words.

Meaning that not only will the bot often refuse to talk about normal software things but most likely this is also a bias in its training data

Meaning that these LLM' will try to avoid recommending code that have these naughty words in subtle and not so subtle ways.

coding got me saying shit like “target the child” “assign its class” “override its inheritance” like the third wife of a dying oil baron discovering his of-age son born out of wedlock
