- Comment on A touch of AI is all it takes to trigger backlash, as a promising new indie falls afoul of slop skeptics 1 week ago:
There’s a fictional world in which these machine learning techniques are developed ok submissions that are volunteered, rollout is socially and politically responsible, control and means of production are democratised, and development is guided by public interest.
Unfortunately we don’t live in that world and I think given the one we live in it’s actually completely reasonable to find the outputs repulsive.

The stuff generated by these things is always so generic anyway, like it seems superficially different because it’s inhuman but it’s all different in the same way.
You never get the cool stuff like the trolls that you’re fighting actually being anarcho-syndicalists struggling to raise protection money to pay off an evil wizard because someone was put on the spot while in a silly mood and started riffing.

Also you could write down the artist’s name and that way there’s at least the possibility that someone might commission them or purchase art if they like the style.

- Comment on Polling suggests one nation preferred over labor, negative perceptions and low awareness of budget blamed. 2 months ago:
That’s a hilarious misrepresentation of tax laws in NZ lol but just taking the logic, why doesn’t everyone just only invest in panama or some other tax haven?
Could it be because more than just “how lowest tax?” goes into where people can start businesses? Hmmmmmmm?

citation needed.
CGT changes are adjusted for inflation and still represent an extremely attractive vehicle for people. What else are you going to do with money you’ve amassed, sit on it like a dragon?
All it does is shift some or the tax burden to rich arseholes and make hoarding land less attractive (even adam smith thought landlords fucking sucked).

The budget you silly sausage. Unsurprising that you think it’s a bad one with reading comprehension like that

She’d be better because she’d be worse at executing her agenda and any government electing her would be wracked by infighting

I too would agree that the only poll that determines the government is the one on election day and we’ve seen that go one way or the other because of a few days propaganda (<3 the westminister system, so good).
I think it’s mostly that:
a) very few people read any sort of long form analysis or really any news at all.
b) rich people are highly motivates to distribute propaganda against this budget and to downplay how rich they are
c) lots of people who are yolked wage-slave proles (almost all the population) don’t understand how low down the economic ladder they are and aren’t motivated to think about it since it’s humilating in a culture that equated wealth with worth and worthiness.
d) shares are basically the only way you can (un)realistically dream of escaping your chains atm and “labour can tax you out of escaping” is easy propaganda for (b) to hit © with.

- Comment on AUKUS will secure ~first rate~ second hand submarines in change of terms. 2 months ago:
Unfortunately I don’t think Australia will ever receive subs with soveriegn capabilities from the usa. No matter how much tribute we give them and how many soldiers we let them host here to keep us in check they’re not obligated to and their fleets and weapons systems are all behind schedule

- Comment on ABC radio kills third party internet radio streams and embedded links. 3 months ago:
ABC radio also often contains way more enriching stuff than news. Longform discussion with experts, interviews and dicussions with random citizens affected by something, curated musical showcases (a good blend of classics and modern stuff like videogame music) that aim to teach audiences about a genre and promote Australian performers.
It’s legit some of the best stuff out there for entertainment that grows you and connects you to the broader political project that is Australia.
Fucking stupid to wall it up and make it harder to listen to than corporate slop.

However was this solved before the ability to surveil everyone all the time? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You know, we don’t actually know what roads are efficient. Let’s gps tag every car. Actually we don’t know at what hours of the day people need water, we could optimise this if we put a camera in everyone’s house.
I swear neolibs are more in favour of restrictive surveillance than the most ardent ML

- Comment on ABC radio kills third party internet radio streams and embedded links. 3 months ago:
I can only assume it’s a prelude to requiring an account like iview (guess who doesn’t watch abc anymore) for Metrics and licensing fees.
I’d rather we just fund the broadcaster and make it easy to use hey? A modern browser is not a default piece of software to have running. They’re some of the most bloated and ridiculous things that exist.
This country is fucking stupid, the government just repeatedly self owns by not understanding the purpose of providing easy and free access to state services. Having a national broadcaster to create a sense of community and shared purpose, and to lift up and inspire your citizenry along the safe lines you desire is like a really good thing if you’re a centralising bureaucrat.
Neoliberal business brain will be the end of community.

- Comment on Minns doubles down on unconstitutional anti-protest laws. 4 months ago:
I think he’s a bit worse. He’s come out against democracy, protest, civil rights, and the though court. He’s also explicitly and uncritically backed the police in some of the worst mass police violence we’ve seen in recent times.

Piece of shit Minns still won’t admit he fucked up. The entire nsw labor party is in bed with whatever fucked up faction is behind him.
From corruption to genocide, who knew the corrupt fucks were holding back the authoritarians from power.
- Comment on The future is now. I generated this on the AI Horde, then converted it into a 3d model and printed it! 5 months ago:
That is genuinely interesting. The image suffers from the usual flaws in composition and style but the 3d model is corrected. Like the eyes aren’t fucked, the toes are fixed. Or at least from the angle you photographed.
Do you know how the tool works technically? Like what it’s doing mathematically? Or have a good link?
- Comment on The AI bubble bursting might be one of the best things for open source models 5 months ago:
That won’t happen. The chips themselves are useful for loads of industrial applications and the infrastructure itself is nontrivial.
Relatively cheap would still be tens of thousands of dollars.
