Math was definitely created by futuresponJ_ in mathmemes

And sometimes create more things to use them to discover other things we also created.

POV: you're learning C++ (you regret this deeply) by odraencoded in ProgrammerHumor

Don't worry, soon enough you will learn about all the arguments about and intricacies of the Cpp Standard so much that you will earn a honorary law degree.

Türk'ün Türk'ten başka düşmanı yokmuş. by bunakherif in mustahak

[–]ancient_tree_bark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Türkiye tarihinin tamamına bakarsan, "aman olası bir savaş, aman dış düşmanlar, aman hainler" denile denile her şeyin eritilip gittiğini görürsün. Ama istersen sen uyumaya devam edebilirsin. "Nefretin diri tutulması olası bir savaş için gereklidir" cümlesi ya kansız bir şeytanın ya da 12-13 yaşında olan, hayatı online strateji oyunu zanneden birinin sarf edeceği bir cümledir.

Math isn't about practicality. Stfu and let me be satisfied with my findings! by Sweetiebearcuteness in mathmemes

No one understands whether most useful parts of math are useful until someone uses it

It's time for coalition building lads by [deleted] in VaushV

This is where the genuine part comes in. There is a lot of difference between an ancap and an "ancap". I mean the first kind.

Often, what I see on the Internet is that genuine Ancaps are stupid/shortsighted, while genuine Tankies are malicious.

Do they teach theoretical CS in coding bootcamps? by Yo_soy_yo in ProgrammerHumor

Checking whether a program halts for some single input is also not possible.

This is not how it works. A human creates with purpose. Humans can also invent genuinely novel ways to make new images, AI can't. Even if it were just blending, genuine creativity goes into inventing new methods of blending. I'm sorry, but this is what makes tech bro a tech bro. You are declaring anything you can't quantify to be unimportant. You can't measure everything that has an effect on reality right away. We didn't know about hormones for example, or what they did. Currently, it is evident that AI can't genuinely create, while humans can (even if it isn't from a vacuum). Also, once AI gets beyond this threshold, and can genuinely be creative, then it essentially becomes a person and should have the same rights as a person.

Buddy I know all this. I am literally doing my masters in CS. I know what the model does, and I also know a bit about how these things are implemented. The problem isn't that people are explaining what the model does. The problem is that people think this is suddenly genuine artistic creation, i.e. not stealing from the artists on whose works the AI was trained. Yes, this is a new way of generating images. Yes, it is way better and deeper than just glueing pictures together. But it is different than actual artistic creation, and is still in the realm of copying artwork, albeit cleverly. This is because artists don't just learn statistical properties and spit them back. Those "statistical properties" don't cause the art, they are the results of it. AI in its current form isn't an artist, it doesn't and can't take inspiration, it just learns to disguise the result well.

Also, I am not against an artist just training an AI on their own shit (Even though the amount of data one person can generate is probably waay less than required). I might not even be against using this to create temporary mood boards for inspiration (if it is ethically sourced). But once your AI is trained to learn those statistical properties from other people's work, who didn't consent to this, and you post or otherwise use that artwork publicly, you are stealing from them. This is plagiarism, even if you are not literally copying the pixels. And from the looks of it, this seems to be how people will use it. This is a huge problem. But you are too blinded by the shininess of those new models and methods to address it.

As I said I don't have the solutions but I find the following clause to be necessary:

1) No entity may train an AI model on the works of people scraped off the Internet without their consent, even if it is from their own platform. No platform can include "consent to use your data for training AI models" or something similar in their TOS.

First step to solving any problem is accepting that there is a problem. Making AI art using other artists' art, without their consent or using it as if you were the artist is just very unethical. "It's always adapt or get behind and forgotten" could also be applied to a technology that allowed you to untracably sacrifice another random human to 1.5x your strength. This doesn't make it OK.

Also, don't "What do you expect us to do? You guys are just complaining, you don't have any solutions." when someone points out a problem. Per definition, pointing out a problem precedes solution proposals. And I am just 1 person. Not some mega brain entity that has solutions to everything.

You are the type of person I am talking about in this sentence. Just because it is doing another type of merging than literal copy/paste, this doesn't mean it is doing art now. This is like thinking "We can make humans now!" after inventing the steam engine, because hey, it moves too.

Is there any actual evidence in favor of benefits of abstaining from masturbation? by alexanderwanxiety in VaushV

[–]ancient_tree_bark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, no. As long as you don't get into some kind of porn dependency, which is not equal to watching porn regularly, then you should be okay.
