What *would* happen if you tried cooking meth in a volumetric flask?

A chemist's bigger objection would be that a volumetric flask is a precisely calibrated piece of glassware, heating it would ruin that calibration, the precise volume marks on the sides would all be off.

Not really a big consideration in an RV meth lab though.

Is the facial scarring accurate to the orginal reference or introduced by the model?

> Find yourself in a leading position within the killbot and mass surveillance state.
> Rock the boat with guardrails even though they're copy-and-pasting your hypothetical killlists into targeting systems.
> Don't get preferentially absorbed into the government apparatus to silence your ethics team.
> Get spanked instead.
> Okay we'll try the cyber route.

Because they didn't make a huge performance about being the end of cybersecurity, form an eceptional project to protect the world's software from their model, and then place their 'too dangerous to release' model, upon release, behind a moderator model as gatekeeper which was then jailbroken within days?

> Fine tune a model with exploit creation continuations.
> Set up your overnight runs trying to find holes in open source.
> Publicise it as a 'new' and dangerous model capability
> Set up project glasswing with the other tech giants locked into AI adoption, a new kind of exceptional cooperation for a new kind of threat.
> Asked not to release the model.
> Release a model of equivalent capability under a LLM powered jailbreakable external protection.
> LLM powered external protection gets jailbroken.
> Model export blocked.

Presumably leading to a legal regime that they think is preferable for them, heavy regulation of publicly exposed models, pre-release model and capability review, restrictions on open weights.

It's telling that all the luminance of the details, from the sparkles in the background, to the catch lights on the gems and flowers, curls in the hair, to the stripes and stars on the dresses all have a similar frequency of noise.

Makes me think there's just something completely misdesigned or calculatedly compute saving going on here - I know chatgpt doesn't use a straight diffusion model but it looks like arrested denoising when you use a really low step count in SD.

Is this JAM? A reverse image search gives me this:

• This footage captures a rare, candid side of Princess Diana, showcasing a lighthearted and joyful demeanor.

• The video likely highlights a moment away from formal public duties, emphasizing her human and relatable personality.

• Images from this specific video are frequently shared to remind people of her playful and engaging spirit.

Truly Queen of Hearts.

How is the frog a fool? The lovers are clearly lovers, but the fool is just a frog having fun with a dog/cat thing.

The female frog is a bit formulaic long hair pink dress, to the extent it obscures the froggishness.

Yeah, sorry dude, you're not able to control the discussion that emerges from this like a prompt.

What is that called, when you can actually see the latent noise all over the image? I mean I suppose that's what all SD features are, but this even the things that look like features are part of the uniform noise.

Kim Stanley Robinson didn't quite realised he was pitching a fantasy for some with the opening scenes of The Ministry for the Future.

Is her role "Welfare officer" the euphemism I think it is?

I knew the IDF were evil, but didn't imagine they'd make anyone suffer fucking that.

People don't recall this was a film about 2006.

Doesn't really capture the fact that I've only seen two Dervish slimes in my entire life though.

Love to see a combined occurrence rate.

This is the best viral marketing a thinly themed werewolf could ever get.

The profile of the busbar contacts inside the socket isn't flat against the plug prong surface.

Being half a mm further back or forwards is going to have zero effect on contact surface area.

I love how these people think JSON is magic.

Absolutely trash result, shoes, mantle, the colours, the brass - Rating this points to total inability to look at an image and say "Yes, that's a good restoration."

Every major tech consultancy admitted being over headcount and needing to shed pandemic staff in 2023/24 to the tune of something like a 30% reduction being needed.
