≤1.5⁰ C total warming.

Not necessarily. It's way more complicated, and there's no clear line. If you use that definition, then coyotes and wolves become the same species, for example.

Well now it's as if half of the books in the library are written by the parrot. The librarian doesn't know the difference, and keeps trying to make you speak with the parrot anyway.

Cross eyed is so much more uncomfortable. It also looks smaller than parallel to me.

No reason to carry knives in public

Knives are so useful, I think carrying a multitool with multiple decently sized blades is very reasonable.

I love pickles, Kalamata olives, kimchi, and artichoke hearts. I'd say I like everything else, although I've had some bad green olives and am not crazy about capers.

Have you ever had homegrown sundried cherry tomatoes? I think there's a huge difference in flavor between good and bad tomatoes

I made this post in response to seeing a low quality AI video that was literally an ad for a company.

I'm fine with actually high quality AI stuff (labeled, preferably), but there seems to be almost none.

It's been everywhere for a while, but the fediverse seemed like a last bastion up until very recently where I've noticed a change.

Is this the end of human-based online articles and interactions?

I sure hope not. At least it's just a few posts here that are generated for now. If it ever gets to the level of Reddit, I might just leave.

As someone who is both, would definitely say I'm interested in generative ML. (I was an early adopter of locally run diffusion models and LLMs. I kinda ended up deeply disappointed by the tech in a lot of ways, but that's a different discussion.)

But personally for me the issue is that I really don't care to see posts that someone didn't care enough to make themself, or read something that someone didn't care to write. And it's always super bland and uninteresting.

[–] moonlight@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah I agree. The issue is that image generation tends to result in maximally bland outputs, and the people who post it tend to put minimal effort in.

I'm not categorically anti-ai, but I feel like I am in practice.

I'm referring to stuff that I consider low quality. I don't mind if something is generated, as long as it is labeled as such and is interesting or valuable in some way.

 

The fediverse used to feel pretty anti-ai, but over the past month or two I've noticed a LOT of generated memes and images, and they tend to have positive votes.

Has there been a sudden culture shift here? Or is there a substantial percentage of people just unable to tell the difference anymore?

 

Like, it can't be a real person, right? Has anyone tried following the links? I'm curious how they're scamming people. It just seems like anyone getting the same message 5 times won't fall for being catfished, so I don't understand what their strategy is.
