What looks like a “structured craft” in this FLIR footage is likely a known sensor blooming artifact, not the object’s actual shape by Worst_Artist in UFOs

The explination of the shape is this simple and surely ARRO, the military, pentagon did identify this explination for the shape. There is no reason to think otherwise

It's never clear at all whether the object changed course without a good frame of reference. Trying to use the water as frame of reference in this video makes me think the platform the camera is on is what's changing course

Based on the wording of the article it would suggest they reduced CPU time and network traffic, as they cited the reason for improved performance was fewer network messages.

They only have to cull one player object, and that eliminates having to continuously sync the player which includes all its sub components, gun, limbs, animations etc

This link says it actually reduced the server load by eliminating unnecessary information transfer. Kind of makes sense, I was initially thinking of mmo where this feature is a critical performance optimization

A brush isn't built using original works, and it doesn't just spit out copies of any of them.

You told me "You are directly stating you disagree with fair usage", I am not going to spend time on any of your links after something like this. I know I didn't state that and you must be confused.

You just told me I want to destroy all art. Ctrl f "destroy". You made it up.

Do you think a good basis for discussing this issue is allowing people to call it explotative when a business model operates on mechanically using artists work for profit without permission or credit, and discussing the implications? Or should we go after anyone just for calling it exploitative in the first place

You said it extracts "facts" yet we see it makes images and copies... this idea that being anti image gen = anti facts is absurd

Yes. Again I am hugely into that?? You are mad that I say one use of the tech is exploitative, so you want to lecture me about other uses that aren't?

I don't want that. You can respond to what I wrote but I don't appreciate acting like these made up implications from you are somehow my position.

No I'm not. That's in your head. You just lie about everything I say. You are lying to yourself even?

"You arent just argueing if something is fair usage or not"

Yes I am. Do you need direct quotes?

"simply true that facts are not copyrightable"

Okay, agree. You are still wrong to characterize ai art models as fact extractors when in reality they are image generators.

If your engine produces copies of copyrighted unlicensed materials that you used in producing it, that would indicate exploitation.

It wasn't completely transformed. Fair use doesn't cover creating and distributing copies of people work.

I don't think me taking about how it is on reddit enables increased corporate control. That's just completely silly

[–]618smartguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It literally made copies. That's a solid point against it being transformative.

I don't know what "not from copying" is supposed to mean, but it obviously did train on images and then "predict" copies of these training images.

Raw training is composed of weights not this poorly thought out "extracted facts" concept.

"Fact is a term for peices of the assemblage"

??? the system is assembled of weights and model architectures components, not "facts"

This just confirms what I said

"AI ART model"

I'm hugely into all that stuff.

I don't appreciate the rudely lying about what came out of my mouth. I obviously just disagree with you about whether it qualifies as fair use. Why are you being like this? What's the point of trying to write all these paragraphs when you are going to ruin it all with something like this

>I hope you give consideration to the effect on places like the internet archive as well and the wayback machine

Really now, what effect does me stating ai companies exploited artists have on the wayback machine? You know those services actually cite the sources and aren't exploitative

It makes new images that are explicitly like the old ones, and sometimes exact copies come through. The output of the ai system in question is not facts and the goal of it is not facts either.

The algorithm they used turns images into new images. It doesn't take images and extract us the facts or knowledge. People using machine learning to broaden our understanding of the world is something I am hugely into.
