Seems like it's from the same dude's library as the one from last year, and he was into Epicurean philosophy, though not the hedonistic caricature that's come down to us.
“Ea-nasir, you dog. Once again I’m writing to complain about your gods forsaken copper…”
I hope is related to someone shitting on a vendor.
Oh, shit, it's a volcano! Ruuuuu
"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"
a crummy ad?
I hope it sais that god is angry at people for killing each other over him and yelling at them furiously to kill each other over land and resources!
I'm not sure you want to take the advice on how to not anger the gods from a scroll from Herculaneum.
Unless you do the opposite.
Cool, but using AI means that we won't be able to completely trust the results
It's not the AI you're thinking of. This has nothing to do with image creation or large language models.
Good (but sad) demo of how LLMs and stable diffusion have completely poisoned the term AI to the point that even legit use-cases get shit on by association.
Or how it has normalized using AI for everything between heaven and earth, when what is actually going on is machine learning. AI implies that the machine is thinking for itself, which of course leads (reasonable) people to draw conclusions that it's not a very reliable source.
Nothing in existence that has been labeled AI is AI. If AI (actual meaning of the words) exists, it's in some secret facility and we don't know about it. AI outside of fiction is a meaningless marketing term. That was already the case before LLMs and stable diffusion.
There aren't literal bugs inside of computers like in the original use of that word, but I'm guessing you have no objections in that case and you might think about that.
Let's go ahead and call Trump's politics "liberal justice". It's all just meaningless words that we can associate with whatever we want. That's more along the lines of how "AI" is used in marketing.
Or maybe we can accept that language is fluid and what you want something to mean and what everyone else thinks it means are in no way the same and never will be.
That said, Trump is 100% a classical liberal so I'm highly amused that was the example you decided to go with.
I think you’re thinking of AGI.
No. That's another bullshit marketing term people came up with when confronted with the fact that their "AI" contains no I.
