They keep coming

Another feddit domain comment another banger

As soon as someone says “AGI” I stop reading but it’s good that for once the term was uttered by someone who is not a rabid sinophobe.

I casually began looking into 3d sculpting a while ago and ended up listening something a pro artist said on this topic. This was him comparing zbrush and blender, mind you, so he wasn’t talking about the medium in general. But he said that while there are some areas where zbrush might be better, blender is at the least perfectly adequate. Biggest advantage of blender is that by virtue of it being free it has the most community resources (tutorials, documentation, forums, etc.). Moreover, the fundamentals of sculpting translate between different software. So he highly recommended blender for newcomers between the two.

It also seemed like you really need something like a graphic tablet if you wanna do it somewhat seriously.

BBC scrambling trying to spin this as anti-semetic

The U.S. State Department later said it expected the Kyiv embassy to resume normal operations on Thursday.

Aw that sucks

Probably the most shootable face on the planet

Reddit on browser is a shit experience which varies from annoying to unusable.

Just looked this up. Sounds like Japanese version of polcomoball.

Ah the slave to unpaid intern pipeline

Are you asking this from the point a tourist? Or generally in terms of the direction the country is headed in?

If you wanna travel then I don’t good advice but Kerala and the Himalayas are very beautiful, though the latter spills over to Nepal.

For the other question I would say the outlook id overall pessimistic.

It eventually all ties into the contradiction between what the technology is vs. what big tech and venture capital want you think it is as you alluded. I think LLMs in an ideal scenario could be at worst a fun toy and at best a good stepping stone but big tech has decided to get incredibly weird with it. So now you get bombastic claims about what LLMs will be able to do five years from now alongside disclaimers that it currently makes shit up so please double check the responses.

The reason I posted this is that it’s good to try and hold demoncorps like Google accountable even though it won’t likely make a dent. At worst it’s just good fun expect for the Gemini user in question.

I hope Biden’s handlers were listening closely.

What even is the origin story of black pete? This sounds like something out of a sketch.

Additionally, Google’s generative AI stuff is exceptionally half baked. To such an extent that it seems impossible for a megacorporation of the calibre of Google. There has already been a ton of coverage on it. Like the case of LLM summary of a Google search suggesting you put inedible things on a pizza and their image generators producing multiracial Nazis.

I guess the “correct” answer depends on the pattern of question-making.

I caught wind of this on hacker news and the comments there were a tier above this. Saying that the bot is correct and humans are indeed scum etc. etc.

It’s not uncommon for these things to glitch out. There are many reasons but I know of one. LLM output is by nature deterministic. To make them more interesting their designers instill some randomness in the output, a parameter they call temperature. Sometimes this randomness can cause it to go off the rails.

Would you rather be in heaven or elo hell?
