Or worse, real digital art of living people being stolen, watermarked, and sold for pure profit.

The image generation portion of this is not the biggest long term problem because there genuinely very dumb. Good training data can mediate this a lot but more importantly.

Image generation does not reason like llms can.

Once the tech is properly matured where fine tuning of details is possible i expect a true llm reasoning component build in that will always specify to the image generation module exactly how the intended image is supposed to look. Including gender and age if those where not user specified.

This does not solve the problem of bias in llm but i want to highlight that the bias in llm-reasoning module of ai is the single most important part that needs to be bias aware, image generation will smooth itself out.

This is somewhat a reactionary rant on “researchers” and people addressing image gen and text gen under the same rules. And as a worst offender judge gpt models based on the output off dalle outputs. However faulty and hallucinatory they all are they are not the same thing.

Thanks for reading.

For new users the main question is not what operating system but what window manager as that is what shapes day to day user interaction. KDE plasma is a solid choice.

Installing it on a separate drive should be no problem. Just select the correct drive during install.

I use F10 to get to the boot menu on drive and select the drive it needs to boot from there. I have used it once in the last year and although it required many updates its still working.

Disroot is based in the netherlands i believe.

From their page:

“Disroot is a platform providing online services based on principles of freedom, privacy, federation and decentralization.

No tracking, no ads, no profiling, no data mining!”

Most of these things have a free tier. I would be hardly suprised if roblox doesn’t.

As someone who does know a lot about the industry i simply cannot recommend roblox. However i can recommend the following:

Make an account tougher with your daughter and let her play in the living room, streamed to the tv if you can and let her guide you trough what this game is and what she finds fun about it.

Bonding aside there is a good chance that the free tier is all she needed and the real fun is connecting multiplayer with her real life friends.

Sooner or later you will face some examples of the traps and dangers, but those are generally the same ones that exist everywhere online, at which point you can let your daughter explain the supposed purpose of em while directly complimenting it with your parental insight. This helps you set and explain boundaries in relation to the game and helps build resilience to the inherent risks of the digital age.

5cm too long. We all know 42.0 cm is where things should be.

I believe i found it

Looks like someone saw the movie and got mad because “that’s not how capitalism would do it” and then proceeded to sell overpriced astronaut food.

It admittedly does look decent and reasonably healthy on paper.

Amen on preventing the normalization of fascism and on trying to split the unthinking mass the same as the Nazi intellectual.

But i am a bit confused about the argument here. I believe you are in favor of calling for violence against fascism in a wider sense. And therefor interpret ops message in the same way.

I am in a somewhat mirrored perspective where i feel strong about pacifism and freedom of speech. Words can hurt but to me can be never be labeled as violent, so i read op as valid but colorful expression. They also themselves express that they do not see their own message as a call to violence.

Fascism is naturally abhorrent, but how does threatening fascist expression show that abhorrence to those trapped within? If our threat is general and op meant indeed a call to violence against all including non violent fascist express then we do the opposite of splitting those groups and actually mostly the unthinking will be targeted. Then Violence calls for more violence and only those rich enough to fly away will be unharmed.

In an academic sense i agree with you that this is how fascism is and that there is logic to it they wont want to pursue a scenario where they do not have the hierarchical upper hand in a violent clash.

However i doubt this is how most modern fascists are and how its ideology spreads. I am willing to bet that the vast majority of Americans neo nazis don’t even know who Mussolini is. The “leopards ate my face” phenomenon is a result of this. So is the “local known immigrant good, stranger immigrant bad” They are essentially brainwashed into the ideology of hate without truly understanding what it is about. They are equally brainwashed to distance themselves or look away from the people around them that do commit violence.

When asked in the streets supporters of trumps deportation plans expressed its only natural that said thing was done in a humane and ethical way and they trust those that execute such plan achieve this. When they do witness violence from their side they believe the victim must have deserved it in some horrible way. Only a small minority understands and expresses a desire to kill just because of ethnicity.

To me the entire war rhetoric between political left vs right is a function of the greater fascist ideal. While we are occupied fighting fascist appearing neighbors, those in power with the money and means to instruct real systematic oppression, censorship and in control of the state monopoly on n violence are not being stopped.

Thats is in all honesty not how i read ops message though.

They want to make the dynamic where the organizers of ethnic cleaning are held accountable a set tradition. And the only names in context are Mussolini and Hitler.

The crux of this argument may be what we understand as an active Nazi.

To me Musk is an active Nazi, he speaks their ideology and caters to others that also do and employed its symbolism. But there is no proof that he is or was involved in organizing genocide.

So i don’t think op is saying Musk deserves death (yet).

I also see many people who are openly racist and identify as Nazis. Spread hate. But don’t actually engage in violence. Many of these are indoctrinated or born in such culture. I don’t think they are a target for OP either.

I agree that some of these can decide to stop. which bring me to my truer understanding that these most of these people can learn to be better. Which is exactly my argument not to punish them with violence.

But the organizers who set the machines of death in motion cannot be redeemed this way. Hitler if he was alive can not be pardoned and given acces to the public world. We as a society must come to a consensus what to do with criminals like that.

Spending the remainder of their life in a maximum oppressive system with zero freedom is not a perfect solution. Neither is putting them to death. Both of these options can be supported with ethical arguments, there is no objective winner. Till we find ethical argument for an options that is objectively superior to both ,showing support in favor of the existing solutions is fair and has nothing to do with threatening someone.

I agree the sentiment of a public hanging doesn’t help to see it that way, but language is by default colors to carry emotional value and not only literal value.

I feel similar to “eat the rich” getting banned. No one who states that is seriously advocating for cannibalism.

Yeah that seems to check out.

Wikipedia states he is imprisoned for life for the crime of genocide.

That outcome personally has my preference but to bring it to the matter at hand.

Op basically suggest that rather then incarceration for life they should be given the death penalty.

I cant see such thing as a threat. Because in so many “modern” places its the status quo. Definitely not as a offending expression to be banned.

Til the day we as a species evolve to a post death penalty world without state monopoly on violence such discussion are as normal as humanity itself.

Can you name a single person who is threatened by a democratically decided punishment for organizing genocide.

At worst its a statement in support of using systematic violence as a punishment for crimes against humanity. But discussion isn’t a threat.

Saying: “Everyone who think x, must be killed” is a threat to violence.

Hitler did not just think racist things. He was not only expressing himself or identifying as a Nazi. He was unmistakable guilty of organizing a genocide.

There are many self identifying nazis today but there is no demographic of people who belong to the specific group that fits actual Hitler and actual mussolini.

I can think of a handful alive today that are heading that way but even if those empires broke down tomorow they would not have committed enough evil to qualify.

Oooof, self proclaimed racist.

Anarchy is ideology is fundamentally opposed to all hierarchy including racism so this was quite a culture shock.

Turns out even this picture is an edit from an originally racist one.

This year will be declared the year of the linux desktop.

And so will the year after, and the one after…

Cars are a status symbol. He hasn’t forgotten alternatives exists he just despises their existence because they are beneath him.

To the rich any service of society that is not catered exclusively to to the rich is a disgrace and a threat to their ego.

What social media is this crossposted from? Cant be reddit, would have been censored.

Iam not super knowledgeable about vintage consoles but i do know gamedev theory. Games are designed to look good on the hardware of its time so an old crt will look better then a modern lcd. Do the people that own these actually want this?

Of course there is always the cool technical puzzle to make old tech work with new but if this was just that it wouldn’t be a market product.

Is this a hdmi adapter that makes vintage games look like they are supposed to on a modern display? Can anyone vouch a comparison video, thats very cool.

Scohol sounds a lot cooler tbh.

Instantly one of my favorite pieces of your work.
