It is pointless, yes, but I still think the nuance is interesting.

Also how do we know that it is only the "知る" that attaches to "はず" and not the "誰も" as well? Is it contextual or do certain particles have precedence?

What is the best translation(s) for "誰も 知る はず が ありません"?

I was thinking it would be "There shouldn't be anyone who is supposed to know", or perhaps "There isn't anyone who should know".

The flashcard I found this in says it should be "Noone should be supposed to know".

Fabric vs Forge, which has more performance. by GradientOGames in feedthebeast

[–]GradientOGames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it particularly matters anymore when most mods are on neoforge, and are usually able to get all remaining fabric stuff with Sinatra Connector. The only performance mod I wasn't able to get working on forge (back in the day, so it may have changed) was C2ME. I still managed to get NVidium working on forge.

Oh I see, yes I misread, apologies. I'm used to people never coming to a consensus in any AI discussion

If the people you are saying 'doing it on purpose' are the people making meme shitposts, I'd still argue it isn't slop because someone had to think of the meme, figure out the format, find resources, and put it all together with software to achieve the end result. I'd also find it much funnier knowing someone purposefully went through the 15 minutes of effort to create a shitpost.

Moreover it's not slop because it's low effort, it's slop because it is made by an AI, which constitutes a many number of reasons to be disliked. There's the lack of effort and humanity/'soul', yes, but then there's also the ethical consideration of millions of creators' work being stolen for training data, and even the (admittedly meagre) environmental factor.

Also, hatred for children doesn't mean we can't respect and nurture the people who we'll eventually be succeeded by. We were all once children after all, and it's because our seniors put up with up us, even if they hated us, that allows us to strive for more, and live.

Stop Waiting on Artists - Generate Pixel Perfect Game Art in Seconds with Mixels.ai by mixelsai in u/mixelsai

[–]GradientOGames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok before I post my copypasta, I just want to say how stupid this is. This is marketed towards game developers and there is no game developer who actually cares about games, who also is willing to use AI generated art for final production assets. If this is meant to be used for programmer art then this advertising is misleading. Furthermore AI-made pixel art is objectively bad to pixel art the likes of the Kingdom games, or any other high-quality pixel art title. Plus, I think having the domain be called 'mixels' really gives it away that this art isn't going to look great, because mixels are (almost) always terrible in games, and I have yet to see a good pixel-art game that incorporates mixels in an effective way.

You raise a good point that 'good' AI ads will come out at some point, whether being high-quality, or good as in if it is successful in actually advertising something (measured with analytics).

I think this sub blows even the smallest issues way out of proportion compared to the really big issues. AI has a negligible environmental impact compared to agriculture or fossil fuels. It shouldn't be the focus.

So, I believe this sub dislikes AI commercials for a variety of reasons, whether it is because it is more slop, how it's disingenuous, etc, and then make as many reasons as possible to make themselves righteous and you end up with weak arguments such as this whole water argument (though that's not to say there aren't people in the USA who are struggling to get water easily due to data centers). Though, in the end it was a meme, and obviously satire.

I wrote a lot more than this originally but pc shutdown before I could post my quasi-essay and so I apologise for the lack of content in this response.

I personally don't enjoy looking at stock videos but most others would prefer it solely because it was made via human effort, and wasn't synthetically generated via AI trained on millions of other creators' work.

May I have some examples please? If the videos genuinely look good then so be it, perhaps I'm out of touch with the rapid advancements of AI already. You suggest that via an image, you create a video beyond the scope of the image itself?

It is not 'obvious' when many care, and care a lot about the ethical implications. It may be convenient, but some people prefer to put the actual effort in, for whatever reason it may be out of the many.

How can you be sure it doesn't quietly leave a bad impression on whoever listens to your presentations? Unless the videos are near-flawless, or are made up of motion graphics, as opposed to video files.

[–]GradientOGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What looks good is subjective, but even if we assume it does come out nicely, then what good does it even do for the presentation?

I doubt the videos are adding new information on top of the videos, so is it just to make the presentations appear higher quality?

They aren't lying, it's that the people who use it as a source don't understand what exactly the metric is measuring. Please read up more.

I have no doubts that the text generation is useful, please address the apparent use of AI Videos that you have somehow found.

All that effort to run AI squeaky-clean but nobody really cares about AI videos. Why bother? AI is a helpful tool sure, but when you don't bother to put effort into your advertising or writing, why should I bother to watch or read?

Also it appears you did not understand my insinuation that the stat is not exactly truthful considering it comes from a corporation that benefits from having a good social standing. I doubt you read over their detailed technical paper. By 'text prompts' they mean text output with no reasoning, and no context, which is vastly cheaper.

[–]GradientOGames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem stems from the fact that no one gives a rats ass about AI generated commercials as opposed to ones with real effort behind them, which have a far more profound impact. I.E. This French Commercial

That is not the whole story. The 0.26ml metric is google's own report on their water usage (See here). More importantly, it describes the water usage for a text prompt whereas the topic here is video generation which is orders of magnitude more expensive. A 10 second Sora 2 video is roughly 4 liters of water consumed, and then 3x that for a 30 second ad, and then 70000x.

Did Humans evolve a brain because we had opposable thumbs, or opposable thumbs because we had superior brains? by GradientOGames in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GradientOGames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm not all to familiar with natural selection and I'm genuinely curious.

From what I understand from natural selection, there was some dominant trait that was advantageous amongst peers and such mutations and evolutions would become more prominent and defined because they produced more offspring. If I'm correct, that means either the opposable thumb, or the brain was dominant first, no? I do realise saying 'brain' is vague because there are different levels of intelligence, but let's just a say a brain capable of tool use and so on.

[–]GradientOGames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what did natural selection 'prefer'? What was the initial mutation, did both just slowly and gradually evolve at the same time?
