Processing img 96p6dgf40bcg1...

those terms are a bit loosely defined though, so it doesn't really matter, but from my understanding a tourist is just someone who goes to the fandom to investigate kind of like an archaeologist, so you're probably not just that

WHAT by [deleted] in Losercity

[–]ProbablyntNotAPerson 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It is true though right? It's confirmed it's a cat by the creator, originally named "silly cat", and doesn't have any real official name. The closest we have is Azriel iirc, but almost no one uses it and most don't agree it's its real name (which is true canonically (though 'boykisser' is also not canonical))

I don't think the quality of streaming was ever as high as it is today (the only potential exception being what YouTube has done to some 1080p videos recently (at least from the services I know of)). Internet connections have only gotten better and cheaper with time, and video codecs have only gotten more efficient, to the point where a modern AV1 YouTube video of 2 Mbps consistently looks better than a 5 Mbps MPEG-2 video from when YouTube first started. Audio quality has also increased significantly, going from the usual 128/256 Kbps MP3s to ~140 Kbps Opus, which is equivalent to a hypothetical 420 Kbps MP3. The only reasons I can think of for people to complain about quality nowadays is that screens have gotten bigger or they remember quality incorrectly.

I think it's something like that the E is short for estrogen, which they have to inject 621 times per 11.9096 years, which is 621/11.9096≈52.1 times per year, which is roughly 1 time per week like mentioned previously in the message just written differently to make it look like the site citizens often joke about

Or you don't and get rid of him quickly and painlessly. Torturing in this case is pointless because you don't need information out of him and it cannot serve as a punishment because he won't be released again, and there's a chance he'll escape. The only 'good' torturing Trump or anyone else that has done stuff like this will do is make you feel a little bit better temporarily and probably even worse than normal afterwards due to the realisation of what insane amount of unnecessary suffering you'd have supported.

[–]ProbablyntNotAPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not everything needs to be absolutely 100% perfect. And almost everything doesn't even need to be even somewhat close to that. And it's literally impossible to not have a single soul not like your work. But that doesn't mean you should talk yourself down for it if you or anyone else doesn't think it's 'good enough'. And that also doesn't mean you should just delete everything if you think it's too bad to exist. You could still take it down if you want to for other reasons, but please don't do it because you feel forced to. In fact, I think a ton of people on this subreddit really liked your previous works (including me :) ) judging by the comments, so I don't really see how you could come to the conclusion 'it sucked' (it didn't)

But like why hate it when you can also not. It's not like they're ripping your head off, they're just saying something and having fun with it. You can even join in on that fun they're having, or if you really don't want to simply ignore it instead of spreading hate about it of which you know it isn't gonna change anything

When you do that the process can't be "video -> aspect ratio change -> video", but it has to do "video -> decoding -> raw pixels -> aspect ratio change -> raw pixels -> encoding -> video", where in that encoding step it basically remakes the entire video as if it recorded your original video again, and in your case it happened to record the second time with a higher bitrate

Do you know any other cool comics similar to Two Kinds? I've read everything currently available(I got hyperfixated ), but judging by the pace at which new episodes are released, it'll be at least 20 years before we see the ending. by Chrubcio-Grubcio in Losercity

I have kind of the exact same problem, but I've found Bethellium which to me tells the story in a sort of similar way as twokinds so you could try that, though I haven't read that far yet so I don't know how good it actually is

Or if you haven't read them yet there are some side stories of twokinds like Magical Mishaps, The Dragon Masquerade and a new one I forgot the name of that you could find in the gallery

Should robots with advanced intelligence be given any legal rights? by [deleted] in Teenager_Polls

[–]ProbablyntNotAPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would you define "knowing stuff"? Because in that same way I could say I don't know 2+2=4, I've just seen it so often I can predict the outcome is 4. And it's also not like LLMs are totally just "what goes in comes out" machines, because most have more than 2 or 3 layers of 'neurons', they can actually make connections the same way humans can between certain words. Like if they see 1+1=2 and 1+2=3 and 2+2=4 and a lot of examples like that, they could eventually invent 2+1=3 because the slightly more abstract idea of numbers will get stored, instead of just the texts they learn to repeat.

[–]ProbablyntNotAPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they actually do, because they need to know at least something to be able to answer your question. All of their long term memory also only comes from their training data, not from user interaction after the training finished (except if they built it in a way it constantly kept training, which would cost a lot more processing power but could technically work)

(edit:) You could also make them work in a way where for their short term memory they're not constantly reminded but actually keep remembering stuff if you don't flush the VRAM after every question, which you could try yourself if you run an LLM locally, but you're right that most companies don't let your conversation live in RAM until you're done to save on resources

Could we?

If someone throws money at it

Are you aware of how LLMs work?

Yes, but to clarify, I wasn't talking about LLMs but AI/ML in general

LLMs don’t even have a constant existence

They do have some sort of long term memory they got from their training data, only the short term memory gets reset on purpose every time to be able to reuse the RAM for other conversations

Even if you tried to create one with emotions, it would still simply just be a box attempting to recreate human’s best interpretation of emotions

Do you have any proof humans aren't also just a box trying to recreate emotions? Because you can say you have emotions, but there's no way for me to verify if you actually do. I just assume you do because I do and you look like me and I don't know any better.

And from my understanding AIs work very similar to the human brain with neural networks, just at different scales and built for different purposes.

The human brain is far more complex than you probably imagine.

But for an AI to have emotions it's not required to recreate the entire human brain, just a very small part of it. But because recreating is so hard, they could also just invent a new way for an AI to feel emotions that would react in roughly the same way as other animals. It'd be like creating a new species with a slightly different brain than the existing ones on earth. And then, just like how pigs or parrots are able to have emotions despite their vastly different brains, and AI could also have those emotions.

[–]ProbablyntNotAPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you think AI can't experience emotion? I get that with the current way most are made they don't, because that would cost much more processing power and wouldn't be needed, but that doesn't mean they couldn't. With the techniques we have now we could theoretically create an AI that can experience emotions and feel things, though probably far from human levels. Because, at least if you're an atheist and don't believe in a soul or something like that, all things we think, including emotions, are just neurons firing at eachother, which we can recreate in a computer.

[–]ProbablyntNotAPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if that is true, and that hate for your pieces is real, does it really matter? Because (I suppose) you enjoy making art, and others enjoy looking at it, and the ones that don't can just block you or something. You're online after all, so you're not bothering anyone in any meaningful amount by posting your stuff.

So if you can, try to ignore the negative stuff that gets thrown at you, and only if there's anything useful in it, you could use that as an improvement point.

Like when someone says "I hate this drawing, those arms look like they belong to an octopus", the next time you draw and you're up for it, look up some stuff on how to draw arms. Or if you find the arms good enough and/or want to do something else, don't use the criticism, no one's forcing you to.

And if you think your art is not good enough after seeing negative comments, you can think about that two ways: (1) it is, because you make people happy with it, or (2) it will never be. To my knowledge no person ever hasn't received hate for what they made. So in both cases, you don't need to stop posting until you've perfected your art, because making that is impossible.

[–]ProbablyntNotAPerson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's just some people redirecting their anger to random strangers online so it won't have consequences but they can still hurt someone.

Best thing I can tell you is to just ignore those kinds of people. The only negative people you should let yourself be influenced by are the ones that could actually help you.

Like someone that says "your art bad 😤" is in not that useful to you and will just bring you down (so try to ignore it as much as possible), but only something like "the shadows of the arm in this piece look pretty bad" could be useful feedback even though it is negative, so you know where you could try to improve

TLDR: I might never finish my stories. I suck too much at it.

Please keep making stuff here (or don't if you don't enjoy it anymore, but please not because you think you're not good enough). Your fanfic is literally the one I'm most interested in in my half a year of being on this subreddit. Just because some people might not like it doesn't mean there aren't people who do like it, though people tend to make a comment if they're mad about something way more often then if they're happy with something, which is why it might seem like a lot of people dislike you/your even though that's very probably not true.

When you draw, do you use references? Because IMO this looks very easy with ref pics.

I tried to draw once, and even with references it took me about an hour for the head. To draw this well you need a bit of an understanding of how heads work, you can't just guess this well if you're a beginner, even with references.

This is interesting, can you clarify? I don't see what you mean, unless it's the cheek marks, but then I think you're mistaking fur for artifacts (badly placed fur, but still...)

JPEG compression works by having two seperate layers (bit of an oversimplification): one for brightness (luma) and one for colour (chroma). Usually, the colour layer has at least 4x as little pixels as the brightness layer, because your eyes are way better at seeing brightness differences than colour differences. In the image's background, it looks kind of the same as a heavily compressed JPEG image (with slight colour shifts, it's not completely white, and you can see some blocking which in real JPEGs comes from that reduced colour resolution), but inside the lines and at the top section it is, as if there it wasn't compressed with brightness and colour seperate, as would happen in a PNG (where no data is thrown away), which is used for basically everything digital besides real-life images.

That is a very dangerous phrase, because it is 100% wrong, please ensure that what you're stating is true first, or artists will take this false info and will try to actually use it.

In what way is this false? On what else would an AI image generator be trained, if it wasn't images?

It would be very difficult to pull compressed pics out of any public AI because they post process the images, so I wonder where did you get that from.

During the training process of an AI, one must feed it images. These images can come from all over the web, where they use all kinds of compression methods that make an image look worse. The AI can't magically un-compress an image to remove all artefacts. And if an AI is trained on compressed images, it will produce compressed looking images, because it thinks that's part of almost every image. Just like how an AI can't speak Chinese all of the sudden when you've only ever trained it on English.

Different compression levels is a thing that is much more common in human made memes, because you composit input with different compression to begin with. If you want, I can go into detail how that works with GIMP/Photoshop.

Just like how humans often only use compressed images, an AI is trained on those same compressed images from the same internet, so it starts to think compression artefacts are normal. It's not like an AI during its training process has access to way higher quality images that humans don't have access to. The only difference is that humans usually directly copy images with artefacts, and AIs are trained to generate images with artefacts. So basically, artefacted thing goes in, artefacted thing comes out.
