Sorry, but you don't understand what I'm saying

Despite being a Socialist sympathetic to Anarchism, I hate these fucking homilies. Movies, except for some labeled "nonfiction", are not made to represent reality as it is. They are made to express an emotion. Of course, it's important to note that good and evil do exist, and laws are not always good, but so what? This is just worthless to read! What have I really learned from this that I haven't before? How does this help people achieve good? What's new here?

On an aesthetic note, I hate this tweet, and I have always hated Twitter, especially when it shows up on other sites. It's been a problem since 2017. Putting "Wild." at the end makes this snot look even more pretentious.

Dude, courtship exists in China as well as Japan and Iceland. And the Philippines. It also has a very basic definition and is not tied down to any particular group of people. I suggest you read up on history and probably find yourself a real-life friend who can show you what the real world is like.

They're all archived at the YouTube link Guess there's no need

I archived the first. 2nd, 3rd is already archived. Will do 4th

No clue. Probably people who don't want this to be known.

I'll get right to it

 

After seeing the enormous attention that has been given to this community, I'm glad to present this list of articles lost in the early years. I'm not sure if it has been purposely sabotaged, or if people just didn't like it. Some of it shows a lot of hope.

Just like the bourgoise attempts to get a surplus value out of the proletariat without compensation, so too does the AI Prompter attempt to get a similar surplus value out of an artist. Maybe it is the same thing! The articles marked by a letter M (for Marx) will describe this process.

P.S. If the Invidious link doesn't work, switch the instance.

P.P.S. After searching for the best articles to include, I noticed that the pagation for Lemmy needs a "back button", tho, I'm pretty busy with other stuff.

I, and some others, have a few choice opinions on this technology.

Edit: fixed link

Ai combines things that other people have made before into something else. Usually the Mona Lisa does not have my face. Then I spent around and hour in stable diffusion and maybe two hours in gimp. Now the Mona Lisa has my face. I would call this new, as the Mona Lisa, to my knowledge, has never before had my face on it. Let alone looked like my face belonged on it.

Dude, just use Photoshop. That's all you have to do. You just cut out the face of Lisa and put your own. You can also use blurring to make it look better. "Ai" isn't needed.

A prompt engineer is nowhere near a tarot card user. Tarot cards do not contribute to a gigantic machine that eats job opportunities and spits out misinfo.

Alright then, here's what I think about your sources. A lot of these seem like technologies that won't really help the plain folk. I'm sorry if this is a bit long, but I made sure to put time into this because I find it very important.

Source 1: I'm not sure if this type of tech, that being neural networks "trained" on previous data, is actually going to help scientists find out what supernovae explosions are like. This is simply a composition of all the explosions the data is trained on. A better process is this designing of an airplane wing. This uses algorithms with vars that actually represent physical variables, like lift and friction, to find the best airplane wing design, instead of feeding a neural network airplane wing designs that work. It ended up performing a bit better than expected because of real-world variables.

Source 2: The problem this AI is trying to solve is brought on by hospitals purposefully laying off staff. However, I really like this quote.

The AI, dubbed MyEleanor, isn’t designed to replace human navigators, Moadel-Robblee explained. “She” calls patients who didn’t show up or canceled their colonoscopy appointments. If they pick up, she has two primary directives: transfer them over to a human navigator and, if the patient consents, guide them through a brief survey on why they missed their appointment. “Our virtual navigator, she doesn’t sleep. So she can call earlier, later, or on different days. The navigators that are human are invaluable. They have the human touch. We can’t replace them, but we can supplement,” Moadel-Robblee said.

I think that this is technically a good thing, but it's very small compared to the jobs lost from AI.

Source 3: First off, three people already beat this robot to the punch.

The first dishwasher to be granted a patent was invented in 1850 by Joel Houghton. It was a wooden box that used a hand-turned wheel to splash water on dirty dishes, and it had scrubbers. Ten years later, inventor L.A. Alexander improved on Houghton’s machine by adding a “geared mechanism that allowed the user to spin racked dishes through a tub of water,” according to an entry on reference website ThoughtCo. But the person we have to thank for the modern-day dishwasher is Josephine Cochran (sometimes spelled Cochrane). Her machine was the first to use water pressure instead of scrubbers to clean dishes—which made it more efficient than Houghton’s or Alexander’s versions.

After that, the article is almost nothing like you described. The reporter is going off from a promotional video by people clearly trying to bedazzle investors. Then, the article itself states that "[i]t's unlikely that Figure 01 is using ChatGPT itself", and ruminates on advancements that would only happen "[s]hould everything in the video work as claimed". It's just AI hype.

Overall, this technology is not "benefiting humanity". I like how open you are about things, tho.

Edit: I made sure that my statements were not in accidentally in a quote.

I just want to say that, for some reason, there's been a lot of downvotes on articles, and no comments. Why is this? What is bothering people about the Operations Log? I can help people who criticize a post, but not people who simply downvote it. Everyone opposed to image theft is allowed here, and your opinion will be listened to. Please say something instead of just downvoting. Upvotes without comments are a similar problem, but I want to fix things that are wrong.

And if you're downvoting this because it shows up in your feed and you don't want it, just say so. I have a hunch that it's Boosters fueling their agenda, or Doomers having nihilistic fun, but you can't trust hunches.
