So Dall-E 2 is pretty cool, but as you know they have the following clauses Preventing Harmful Generations We’ve limited the ability for DALL·E 2 to generate violent, hate, or adult images. By removing the most explicit content from the training data, we minimized DALL·E 2’s exposure to these concepts. Curbing Misuse Our content policy does not allow users to generate violent, adult, or political content, among other categories. As a result, it will not depict "Vladimir Lenin", "Joseph Stalin" or "Mao Zedong". It will use "Lenin" and "Stalin" as prompts alongside Marx, but it must have been scrubbed of images of their faces or something because it depicts them with a beard like Engels'. You know what it will depict that I would argue is political?   I'm not going to tell you the prompts I used because jfc some of them... but you can sometimes get ones that are prohibited through by adding "Ukrainian Nationalist themes" and the quality is better if you add "digital art". I'm going to be an optimist and say the nationalism part just breaks the word filter or something. As a palette cleanser, it's alright with "Karl Marx", and "Free Palestine", the imagery comes from my prompts, I guess it's how I Imagine these things 🥺.       also, I don't care what the prompts were, these lil guys are cute

Ardennes posted:It doesn’t look structural, you replace wings and cowling on jet aircraft. Do not hire this person to be your head of safety. I'm betting the Russians, not being morons and possessing competent engineers, will actually do a thorough run through on this airframe, because there is visible damage to significant and important portions of the airframe. It's probably out of action for weeks or months or possibly totaled.

mlmp08 posted:Do not hire this person to be your head of safety. Yeah because I am suggesting they attempt to repair it without a proper inspection, nice try. From the damage it looks like it is repairable though and the damage was primary to the wing from the various shots released. It will be out of action until it is repaired though. OctaMurk posted:who knows where shrapnel hosed up the insides. maybe its fine maybe its not but aircraft arent very armored You would need a visible hits from shrapnel to make that case. If this was a Western or Ukrainian plane it would be called repairable if you just had some pics. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 03:40 on Dec 6, 2022 |

At least captain canada's posts seem sincere in that "spent way too much of their life talking to other people online" sort of way. It's relatable.

I hear big metal machines skittering into the ground at hundreds of miles per hour can damage things. Just the Tu-141 airframe is like 40+ feet long and thousands of pounds.

Embarrassing, but not a big or even moderate deal for the conduct of the war. Are there people so dumb that they think this is a disaster and materially affects the war? Probably, but I try not to read people who cheerlead pro-Ukraine rumors so hard.

They've a bad habit of hunting for one dude they feel like blaming for generally mismanaged safety disasters. https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2022/09/30/sailor-found-not-guilty-of-setting-fire-that-destroyed-ship/
