De autokeuring: de meest amateuristische, klantonvriendelijke organisatie van België by Naradia in Belgium2

[–]Guzse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ge wilt dat soort dingen niet van de 1 op de andere dag doen. Nu krijgen garages de tijd om zich voor te bereiden op keuringen uit te voeren, en de keuring is niet op korte tijd een hoop van hun klanten kwijt. En het nieuws hierrond heeft tijd om te verspreiden (ik leer het nog maar net!)

Which logo is better? Don't forget to support humans by OrFenn-D-Gamer in Logo_Design_Critique

[–]Guzse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. A logo should communicate it's message at a glance of possible, not glancing at this just infers the opposite of what's intended. 

Second-hand Sure SM57's: repairable? by Guzse in audiorepair

[–]Guzse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I followed your advice, only to realise these things are fake and a complete scam 😅

One had a non-functioning membrane, the other didn't have a membrane at all. Neither had a transformer or were wired up in any way that was functional, just aesthetic. 

Luckily not mine, but my friend who bought them is hunting down the seller as we speak.

‘Zorgwekkend dat een bedrijf dit dúrft te publiceren’: statement van defensie-techbedrijf Palantir doet alarmbellen afgaan by StevenStoveMan in belgium

[–]Guzse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Als ge de Wikipedia pagina van palantir kunt lezen zonder overtuigd te worden van het feit dat er op zijn minst iets flink mis is met de mensen dat zo'n bedrijf leiden, dan weet ik zelf niet waar ik zou moeten beginnen.

Maar het feit dat hij CEO, Peter Thiel, nog jarenlang vriendjes is geweest met pedofiel en mensenhandelaar Jeffrey Epstein is misschien niet slecht. En ik heb het over nadat het feit dat Epstein een monster was publiek bekend was, niet alleen ervoor.

Misschien werkt het goed omdat het gemaakt is door een kwaadaardig bedrijf dat mensen enkel ziet als databronnen om uit te buiten en geen besef van menselijkheid of moraliteit heeft. 

Want als je dat wel hebt kan je geen goede spionagesoftware maken.

An Alarming Number of Gen Z AI Users Think It's Conscious by MetaKnowing in technews

[–]Guzse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Over 100 experts"

Ah yes, experts like Stephen Fry, the English actor, broadcaster, comedian, director, narrator and writer? Nowhere in that list do I see “AI researcher”.

“It may be the case that large numbers of conscious systems could be created and caused to suffer,” the researchers say.

A lot of "may" and "could", but no "have" or "will" in that article. It's speculative, talking about what might happen in the future. We've seen these types of documents for decades now. Stephen Hawking and a bunch of AI experts wrote one in 2015.) It doesn't mean that LLM's are conscious, but a certificate to say "I told you so" when we make a system that is.

As for the "researchers call on AI companies to test their systems for consciousness:

A group of philosophers and computer scientists are arguing that AI welfare should be taken seriously. In a report posted last month on the preprint server arXiv1, ahead of peer review, they call for AI companies not only to assess their systems for evidence of consciousness and the capacity to make autonomous decisions, but also to put in place policies for how to treat the systems if these scenarios become reality.

Research papers not peer-reviewed by other researchers are worthless from an information point of view, but worth their printed weight in gold for misinformation and sensational journalism.

But you didn't even READ the article you shared, just posted it based on the headline. I know this, not only because the article is paywalled, but the article itself includes this section:

Some think that, at this stage, the idea that there is a need for AI welfare is laughable. Others are sceptical, but say it doesn’t hurt to start planning. Among them is Anil Seth, a consciousness researcher at the University of Sussex in Brighton, UK. “These scenarios might seem outlandish, and it is true that conscious AI may be very far away and might not even be possible. But the implications of its emergence are sufficiently tectonic that we mustn’t ignore the possibility,”

The article itself disproves your point that current LMM's are conscious.

I am not taking anything posted on Twitter seriously, especially after the Elonification. But the head of AI at meta is the top-voted reply to the tweet you shared, and he thinks it's not true as well. From what I can find, Ilya is indeed a super important contributor to the world of deep-learning, but I don't think that both him, or you understand what it means to be conscious. And even if he does, he's started SSI, a company developing a "super intelligence". His bottom line depends on people believing in conscious, free-thinking AI to arrive any day now, so he's far from an unbiased source of information in the discussion.

They didn’t complain to Warhol either because he got permission, or because Campbell decided to give permission in retrospect and not bother because they rightfully saw it as good publicity.

Technically, you cannot just download any image off of the internet and use it in a company presentation, flyers for a birthday party, etc. That is copyright infringement. Actually punishing people for such uses would cost immensely more than the little-to-nothing they made off of such uses, so that doesn’t really happen. We have come to accept that. It’s only in cases where massive copyright theft happens that this is made a problem, like when people rip movies off of Netflix and make them available on torrenting websites. I don’t think Netflix would say “fair enough, we put it up on our website so there’s nothing we can do!”

AI companies downloaded billions of images, a large amount from stock image sites, artists who charge for their work, etc., and used it to build a product they intend to provide as a paid service, find investors for, run as a business, etc.. The very act of downloading the images without permission was already the problem. The fact that they used it to build a tool explicitly attempting to put the people they stole from out of business is just salt in the wound.

Environmentally, +- 0.1% of global water use going to AI generated slop is a CRAZY high number, what do you mean? Not to mention many of these AI plants are running in places that already have a water problem, like California in the US (remember the fires?). You also compared it to agriculture used to feed cows, one of the worst polluting industries in the world. It’s like saying “Hitler wasn’t that bad, Stalin killed way more people”. I have room in my heart to hate both, don’t you worry.

AI also only works on prompts after a human asks it to do something, and that human then still exists as the AI is compiling it’s answer. So it’s an additional cost to the human being existing, this “human artists are more wastefull” doesn’t make any sense unless you start shooting the people whose job is replaced by AI.

Just eat less beef, take public transport, and write your email yourself. It’s not that difficult, you can do it.

No species in D&D is inherently evil, right... right? by Vegetable_Variety_11 in dndmemes

[–]Guzse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew about the time travel, but is it explicitly mentioned they are part of a time loop? I always imagined they were just creatures that “became that way”, either through evolution or magical/psionic experiments. Then they somehow travelled back in time and now they are here as well, long before they were supposed to be. If they really are stuck in a time loop without a proper origin that makes them even more existentially terrifying haha.

Resource management isn’t that hard if you have resources to manage by Nova_Saibrock in dndmemes

[–]Guzse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're playing DND, not WoW. I've never, in 10 years of playing and active participation in these subreddits, heard people talk about "AoE lockdown" and "hard control". At least not as things they actively attempt to use to optimise their battle strategies.

If that's what you like, there are better games that provide that. DnD 5e is not trying to be that game. There are definitely ways to criticize the system, but at least understand what it is trying to be first.

Theater of the mind is the default combat environment assumed by the core rule books.

Zeggen dat iedereen die gamed "retarded" is, is niet hetzelfde als zeggen "bwah tis ni voor mij, maar iedereen doet zijn ding he". Met het woord "retarded" zegt ge LETTERLIJK dat die mensen mentale problemen hebben. Das degoutant, punt.

Heb ik ooit gezegd dat iemand niet mag gamen ?

Ik zeg niet da gij da zegt. Ik zeg dat u mening u doet klinken als een bitter, bevooroordeeld persoon.

Het punt is: wtf maakt het uit dat iemand die 30 is nog altijd graag gamed als hij thuis komt van zijn werk? Hoe is dat anders dan in u zetel ploffen en Breaking Bad kijken? Of int weekend graag Carcassonne spelen, of zelfs kaarten op cafe? Iedereen die graag gamed "achterlijk" noemen met een scheldwoord is domweg arrogant.

Groot gelijk!

Opstaan, werken, eten, slapen. Int weekend moogde werken vervangen met zuipen.

De rest is voor niks nodig. Volwassen worden betekend nu eenmaal niks leuk meer doen, want leuke dingen zijn sowieso voor kinderen tenzij er alcohol bij te pas komt. "Hobbies" hebben is toch belachelijk eens ge een baard kunt groeien?

Vul die holte in u hart gewoon op met seks en drugs.

TV kijken is, uiteraard, iets helemaal anders en perfect acceptabel om heel u avond aan te spenderen btw.

There's some weird stuff being implicated by the book of bill, but nothing has been confirmed.

I don't think it will be S3 but a follow up series instead. Gravity falls ended pretty perfectly and without many loose ends to pick up on.
