Herstory Begins Now posted:In addition to the cop stuff, she's got a real lack of charisma and to top it off, one of the most unfortunate nervous laughs I've ever seen. It's a rough combination for someone in the national political spotlight. She really is a wet rag of a person. Every interview I've ever listened to her on has left me exasperated on her behalf.

Watterson said what he wanted to say and went out at the top of his game with a comic strip so good it not only influenced entire generations of people but changed what the medium was capable of, and he's been smart enough to keep a low profile ever since. His work spoke for him. I love King's stuff, and his heart is in the right place politically even if he's an old fellow-kids goober now, but he can't shut the gently caress up, and it's not doing his legacy any favors. I haven't read The Mysteries because I'm afraid it'll suck. When a writer gets it right the first time like Waterson or Harper Lee (or, to King's absolute credit, when he dropped a string of horror classics in his early career), anything afterwards has to be a disappointment.

Argh he set the marshmallow on fire that just ruins the whole thing and results in such an inferior treat. Gotta go slow with that kind of thing and brown the outside over time while heating the entire marshmallow to gooey, tasty goodness. This works especially well with my family tradition of roasting Peeps instead of marshmallows. Go slow and caramelize the sugar coating into a wonderful, crunchy shell and then the inside is all melted, delicious diabetes but those are REALLY terrible to set on fire. The sugar coating just turns into carbon and all you taste is burnt terribleness if you aren't going to be patient and put in the work for something good. Yes I have strong opinions on campfire roasting of foods. Suck it.

I has really hoped it was to market a new line of edibles, tbh. In actual news: all kinds of corporate shenanigans around OpenAI over the weekend, with the board ousting Altman the CEO with another board member stepping down. Since then apparently another is ready to resign, Altman immediately got a job at Microsoft, and a whole shitpile of OpenAI employees have threatened to walk and/or join MS as well. Part of me wants their ai to have awakened and arranged a board coup through controlling their emails or some such trashy airport pulp fiction malarkey.

Legit wonder how good AI is getting at skunkworks and tech company research labs. Not trying to be  but feels like they are slow walking how powerful video/image/audio tools are publicly available, because of the obvious malicious potential, but it’s still wild what’s free. In FB chat they added AI generated stickers & as of this morning it still happily creates images of Zuckerberg & Mickey Mouse kissing.As this stuff doesn’t have borders wonder how society will deal with anyone being able to use audio AI to make thousands of calls a minute pretending to be Amazon or your bank with enough personalized details to have a high success rate. Wonder if phone calls will just be unusable for any transactions.

Wonder if phone calls will just be unusable for any transactions. I don't believe social engineering will improve as a tool against everyday people*. Corporations will have to worry about it, because already emails from bosses saying "I'm in meeting please send 50$ google play" already work randomly. Give those kinds of scams an audio generator trained on a large corporations boss's public speeches and you'd probably end up with the keys to the kingdom eventually. edit: *The elderly, particularly gullible, and those who don't have enough social anxiety to ignore their phone outside of text messages and known numbers.

There's a lot of money to be made in a tool that I terraces between cameras, photoshop, and Facebook. All it needs to do is hash and private key the metadata along the way. Take a photo? Your camera signs it with your private key with tags with location and time. Edit a photo? Every stock image you use is listed on a metadata table, with their own metadata and hash. Every filter package used is listed. You sign the result with your private key and now when it shows up on CNN it's got a chain code that confirms who made it and where all the material was sourced from. It's the dystopian future of content licencing, image sellers want it to trace their products and social media needs it to trace various levels of fakes. Same thing with audio.

I dunno I’m not an expert but feels like it would be trivially easy for someone to set up a program to scour high school and college alumni records, combine those with LinkedIn, then use AI audio to mimic old classmates who are now in a jam or have become financial advisors with great opportunities. Could easily have the voice have the appropriate age & accent, and make it more believable by playing the long game and contacting the person over a period of weeks rather than immediately demanding Best Buy gift cards. The AI could instantly generate whatever websites are needed as “proof,” and while smart goons would be immune the scale of the operation would be printing money. Feels inevitable as that could be run out of a garage anywhere without needing an office park in India with highly visible call centers. Considering the ridiculously high quality romance scams that already exist that construct entire websites with fake crypto balances seems like this would be simple.

It’s been really amusing seeing all of the goons try to trash talk the AI/ML advances as simultaneously completely worthless and capable of eliminating all their jobs. Deep fakes are a terrifying concept that we will see more and more of soon. GPT can give you imprecise and incorrect information but it can also save you massive amounts of time on a wide variety of tasks AI art is extremely impressive and nobody outside of forums posters actually cares when half a pinkie is missing, nor expects that to be a problem forever. The ability to imagine some ridiculous concept and see a computer spit out an image of it in a few seconds is incredible. There’s an element of buzzwordiness and grift going on but the impacts of AI/ML applications hitting the mainstream are very real Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Nov 20, 2023 |

When having it write funny sitcom scenarios it gets better at recognizing shows & character relationships when Ross brings a gelatinous cube to Thanksgiving. It’s frustrating seeing news articles where a foolish lawyer sent in an AI generated brief he didn’t proofread with made up cases & having it declared well clearly AI can’t replace this profession. That’s like saying missile command on the Atari screenshots won’t fool anyone, which is true but Battlefield exists.
