Yeah when have restrictions without oversight ever gone wrong?

Gotta wonder where low-framerate rendering and FLF generation could outpace rendering alone. Probably a less impressive use-case thanks to Eevee.
- Comment on What Do People Attending a Tommy Robinson March Really Believe? 3 weeks ago:
Exactly - it’s reality as a team sport. Innate human tribalism as a theory-of-everything.
I thought it was more nuanced until 2020 saw them stick to the script in-between hacking coughs with bits of lung.
- Comment on What Do People Attending a Tommy Robinson March Really Believe? 3 weeks ago:
Conservatives don’t believe things, they believe people. Their entire worldview is defined by interpersonal loyalty. In their minds, if rightful authority moved a Falling Rocks sign, the rocks would fall somewhere else.
Trying to hold any these idiot bigots to the logic of their claims accomplishes absolutely nothing. They could be reasonable - but that visibly is not the brain activity they are engaged in.

I’m more concerned about which direction that light is coming from.
- Comment on V&A Museum censored catalogues after demands by Chinese printer 1 month ago:
But in doing so, they have to accede to censorship requests relating to any topics or images deemed sensitive by the Chinese government, such as Buddhism, Taiwan, Tibet, Tiananmen Square and pro-democracy activities.
What perfectly reasonable topics for a history museum to avoid!
"As we have ordered the paper to the printer it is sadly too late to move print to Europe, so we’ve had to put back the schedule a week in order to find a replacement illustration.”
And in future you will be doing… what?
A former employee of C&C Offset Printing said: “Of course printing content disapproved by Chinese government is forbidden. Why should it be surprising? It’s a Chinese company.”
“Surely no one could object,” said human-shaped toad.

I mean, probably? There’s a lot of chemicals involved.

- Comment on Nutritional Hexes 2 months ago:
All over the place, we’re dealing with people who Do Not Get science, because they don’t really inhabit an objective reality. They’re doing the same woo-woo nonsense humanity has always done. It’s all just stories and belief. The signifiers just changed from headdresses to lab coats, and the jargon has a bit more Latin.

Oh that’s a fun version of the containment problem. A true superintelligence, given enough time, will pull some pickup artist shit and not call you back.

- Comment on UK Government backtracks on AI and copyright after outcry 2 months ago:
Training is transformative use.
All of this is just statistical modeling. There is no “opt-out” for published art. Copyright only exists as a financial incentive to give the public useful works. Well… this is a use. And the end result is novel, reflecting minimal portions of each work. The more things it’s trained on, the less each one matters. A verbatim copy of Honky Chateau does not serve the same purpose as a robot that can play a rude jingle about your boss, by name.
The worst thing we could do about AI is make copyright even worse.

- Comment on Anon argues on reddit 2 months ago:
Hiding post history is a gift to fascists, like so many other decisions reddit made. One of those funny coincidences that keeps happenings.
Clicking someone’s username was like dogs sniffing butts. You want to know: what kind of asshole am I dealing with? But dipshits trapped in tribalist worldviews only knew that people would slap them down for hypocrisy, so wah wah wah admins come save me, if blocking to force the last word wasn’t enough. I had so many idiots sneer about /r/LinkIsCute posts, like I’m supposed to be shamed about liking a popular character in a clearly intended fashion. It’s just the desperate grasping modern version of some child with a quivering upper lip countering ‘yeah, well… nice hair!’
