Very true but they don’t always win, and besides, there are other lobbyists who are out there batting for Disney. If there is one hint of Micky Mouse™ in their data set they might as well just dissolve the company now.

Yeah I’ve done a tiny bit of AI stuff for what I do (biology) and I think it’s very sus they can build such a strong model out of data which costs lots of money. The reason the algos in my field of biology are so strong is because the NCBI has the genomes of everything that’s be sequenced FOR FREE, because obviously you don’t want people patenting genomes and it should all be free for science, etc.

Which begs the question how the a start up that started out as a non-profit get that much user data and keep costs low? I know you can buy user data and I’m not sure how much it is to buy a bunch of google docs from a data broker, but if you buy from hackers who just data breached or used some illegal crawler you can probably cut that to prices a nonprofit could afford.

I think he was probably lying about where he got all the data used to train the model from, I’m guessing training a model on tons of copyrighted material and stolen user data won’t be legal in the near future.

That’s awesome, goat tower video game!

I remember way back on reddit after hearing the neuralink buzz, I went to /r/neuralink and asked questions about how they would prevent infections with such procedures.
The answer?
“Well its just on the outer skin and doesn’t really pass the blood brain barrier so its fine”, I felt so validated and was blown away by how laissez-faire they were with infections, guess that little blurb was company policy!

It might mean something though, FFXIV is a classic example of a game that almost nobody plays on Steam, but its Steam charts line up somewhat well with the game’s increasing popularity especially with Shadowbringers and Endwalker. Of course you have to look at actual data to back that up, but soemtimes it can show trends.

Free thinker alert! Arrest these shrooms immediately!

That makes perfect sense. As someone who has had genuine chemical imbalances I’ve had to wrestle with, another thing that’s really interesting is that people who are obviously in the depths of delusional/paranoid hell are so afraid of the mental system that they never seek help. It’s so sad that its in the state its in, if things were a little better than maybe those people wouldn’t balk at therapy while they are in the throes of schizophernia or something.

This is a super hot take but if someone wants to be medicated to deal with a dying world than I’m okay with that. I think it’s better than hitting the bottle tbh. Obviously companies shouldn’t force pills on people but we live in a fucked up capitalist hellscape, so yeah.

Kbin is probably in the center. I just want to grill in my Linux computer.

Graf is probably better than ever now, shame it’s not as long lasting was in Rome. Hopefully some of the best artists pick up sculpting so people in the future might have a little taste.

I feel like it’s probably an actual phrenologist because he implies dutch white people were created by Yakub which is really down the black supremacist rabbit hole.

I’ve been an MMO gamer for a VERY long time and I would say the whaling thing is a perfect analogy. I often pre-order expansions to MMOs like WoW and FFXIV but I have never bought cosmetics other than two race changes for FF, which would make me a “dolphin”.

I noticed in WoW and FFXIV that if someone has one mount you can only get from the cash shop, they are VERY likely to have bought TONS of other cosmetics from the cash shop. If they don’t have any cash shop mounts, they won’t have any cosmetics from it either. It seems like most people are either “all in” or nothing, people like me are very rare.

They’d just hit the ice wall, idiot. And if they made it through that they would hit the ocean of the second flat world beyond our own. If they got through that they would hit either the scorched wastes, the frozen wastes, the abyssal ocean, or the walls of asgard…
Seriously, do you even do your own research?

Yup, this is why the last two Diablo games have been always online, no one is going to spend $25 on a skin macrotransaction when nobody else can even seen it.

Cringe as fuck, its perfect.

Ah well that would be why it’s completely pointless to me. Since all science is politicized now, I guess there is no reason to use it.

I signed up to it from instagram to track my favorite epidemiologists and h5n1 only to discover it has no hashtag system to look up trending topics and most of my favorite epidemiologists aren’t even on it. So it’s worthless for even following COVID, avian flu, and probably every other news topic.
