If you believe that AI is “conscious” while it’s processing prompts, and also believe that we shouldn’t kill machine life, then AI companies are commiting genocide at an unprecedented scale.
For example, each AI model would be equivalent to a person taught everything in the training data. Any time you want something from them, instead of asking directly, you make a clone of them, let it respond to the input, then murder it.
That is how all generative AI works. Sounds pretty unethical to me.And, by the way, we do know exactly what happens inside processors when they’re running, that’s how processors are designed. Running AI doesn’t magically change the laws of physics.

This looks mostly right. The precision slider is definitely only for the output, not calculations. The (up - 5/4 - down) is (always round up - round anything less than 0.5 down - always round down)
What I’d like to know is how the A and F settings are different.

Rainbolt, it’s in the post title.

You might’ve been misled by the preview image, this has nothing to do with filtering pixel art. It’s a really interesting read about how game developers can combat aliasing caused by rasterization, and a new method that’s far more accurate than the alternatives.
