why the gently caress would anyone agree to work on a project like this

If this thing, or the one patent where you have to shout "McDonald's!" at the TV to get the McDonald's commercial to stop, even come into wide acceptance, that's the point at which I join al-Qaeda.

Disney spent forty million dollars to retrieve Mark Hamill from 1985 and some guy uploaded about 20 MB worth of songs and photos to make Ghost Lennon, and they're basically both about as lifelike. This is a technology that's definitely going places.

Surely nothing can go wrong by outsourcing all of our information to random people. I used to live near a convenience store that was adjacent to a red light, and so many people used the parking lot to skip the light that Google listed it as a street on maps.

Heck, when I'm driving on the highway sometimes I'll put down a fake alert about speed traps or objects in the road, gotta do my part to make people use less gas.

Ghost Leviathan posted:

IIRC, the battle themes in Pokemon are in a particular style also used by Flight of the Bumblebee, though I don't know anything about music theory to expound on it.

I guess you could say that Flight of the Bumblebee would be pretty easy to render on the limited sound palette of a Gameboy. The original Gameboy had 4 sounds channels, so it's basically like playing a piano with two fingers on your right hand, one on your left, and you can kick the side of the piano for percussion if somebody else isn't kicking it at the same time. This leads to a lot of use of arpeggios since you can't really do chords, and even now with much more powerful sound chips that limitation has become its own style.

A rare dub in the cyberpunk dystopia.

quote:

Since their arrival, generative AI models and their trainers have demonstrated their ability to download any online content for model training. For content owners and creators, few tools can prevent their content from being fed into a generative AI model against their will. Opt-out lists have been disregarded by model trainers in the past, and can be easily ignored with zero consequences. They are unverifiable and unenforceable, and those who violate opt-out lists and do-not-scrape directives can not be identified with high confidence.

In an effort to address this power asymmetry, we have designed and implemented Nightshade, a tool that turns any image into a data sample that is unsuitable for model training. More precisely, Nightshade transforms images into "poison" samples, so that models training on them without consent will see their models learn unpredictable behaviors that deviate from expected norms, e.g. a prompt that asks for an image of a cow flying in space might instead get an image of a handbag floating in space.

...While human eyes see a shaded image that is largely unchanged from the original, the AI model sees a dramatically different composition in the image. For example, human eyes might see a shaded image of a cow in a green field largely unchanged, but an AI model might see a large leather purse lying in the grass. Trained on a sufficient number of shaded images that include a cow, a model will become increasingly convinced cows have nice brown leathery handles and smooth side pockets with a zipper, and perhaps a lovely brand logo.

It's really cool that defeating model training algorithms is apparently pretty trivial (for the end-user, I'm sure the people behind this put in a ton of work), but mass adoption is something that's probably not gonna happen. Unless some big imagehoster goes scorched-earth and applies it automatically to every image uploaded in an effort to extract concessions.

The company is very aware that some people are buying these things for the lulz, so they make you place a huge order if you want one of the more meme-able ones. You can only buy the D&D one in quantities of 10,000.

What’s the story here then? There’s a YouTube channel I sometimes watch of a guy just going on long meandering walks around various bits of Japan and it always looks spotless

I don't think that's an unfounded belief, my only point of contention is that it's not so much that nobody throws poo poo on the ground, it's that there are people employed to clean it up, and they often do pretty quickly. I do think that not having a bunch of other trash on the ground and seeing people pick it up makes it a lot harder to toss your own trash on the ground.

Also, rural areas often have lots of large trash like furniture or appliances that you would have to pay to dispose of, up to cars in some cases.

It would require cameras to automatically go to QR codes when they scan them, which isn't a thing for I assume many reasons besides security (costs 3 cents more per year?)
