I heard people using Bitchat. Yes it is from Jack Dorsey who admitted security risks there but lacking communication with iphone owners can be an issue for them.

I had a dream of my locally regeional folklore creatures once, all speaking English. Realizing that they’re out of character made me so annoyed that I actually woke up.

Many artists explicitly state no repost without their permission, requiring proper credits and such. It IS a dick move to AIgen-fed edit while directly interacting author’s post; that makes people using the AI feature violating author’s will knowingly.

In reality, people don’t read artists’ comment or bio, when “single button to AIgen and use the art as prompt” exists. It’s basically X greenlits anyone to do so against artists’ will, and fair use can argue the use of art but never force artists to stay on a platform. That’s what’s happening. They may have overstayed on a horrible platform blinded by clout they can get there but that is a different story.

Their life expectancy is usually less than 2 years though. Does it worth for them to spend that long? We never know.

Don’t modern drawing tablets usualy have side buttons that ppl set frequently used functions? The gray bars at the side can be such but idk

Jp version of the page provided extra explanation, saying the bacteria selectively accumulate in the tumor because cancer tumor is low oxygen environment and other conditions are also suitable for the bacteria to multiply, that process and related chemicals and mice immune system destroy the tumor

No one mentions F1 hybrid? Mass produced vegitables and fruits are often offspring of 2 distinct varieties, carefully selected to inherit desireble traits from both sides but no guarantee for 2nd generation.

Kind of soft-lock drm bcs people need to keep buying the specific seed if people want max yield. (I’ve read article gathering seeds from store brought tomato, growth werent great and the yields were unstable in both taste and quantity, but they managed to iterate 6 generations or so. The “traits” of F1 offsprings stabilize around that so you can keep growing your own variety).

Heirloom seeds don’t have this issue, but they likely have quirks or less immunity compared to F1.

I like how you did the hair, it has character and nice contrast between the rest of the shading style.

IANAL but again, the program is not program in general sense. The regular “program” part here is ttf format and protocol around there, but protection goes over ttf data as a whole. It may be able to argue if such new font display system is developed and used, practically no gamedev/publishing industries want to reinvent the wheel and built the ecosystem from scratch.

Also, the infringement criteria is not necessarily on process but also end results similarity and intention in Japanese law. When intention comes up in argument defendant often provide proof they did not have access to the alleged source or its end product.

Japanese law doesn’t consider font itself or the style to be copyrighted, but font files are considered “program” (it is very broad in jurisdictional sense, roughly translates to “digital data that produce products through computational process”, and displaying letters on monitor is applicable) and thus fall under under copyright protection.

It’s all negative data

Even regular neutral water shifts to slightly acidic (5.6) as long as it has contact to air (CO2 dissolving). Would be interesting to know how long those store bought alkaline water becomes base or acidic.

In the beginning, autumn and spring duration were 13 weeks. Then six, then three weeks. The last autumn lasted for a week. In next year they will be four days, we could be seeing a summer and winter transition in eight hours, until they switch in four minutes.

Technology is (at least for now) not exclusive to the rich. There can be billionaires’ secret labs and underground diy labs. Since few science fictions pop up in the topic and CRISPER is mentioned, I am going to leave CRISPER cookbook and Chapter 2 which was written in response to Roe vs Wade.

Russian cursive enters the chat (link is xcancel, mind you)

Capitalism asks whether you are the kind of person harvesting people’s health info without concent or selling aluminum mesh underwear with fearmongering campaign. No other choices.

I’m a simple man, I see Peter Watts reference I upvote.

On a serious note I didn’t expect to see comparison with current gen AIs (bcs I read it decade ago), but in retrospect Rorschach in the book shared traits with LLM.

The reflection of physicsl paper’s white area incoming into camera eye, it’s a self-fullfilling prophecy.

But singapore site links USDA q&a on how to reuse it safely and has section for “what you need to do if you reuse oil”. They don’t particularly advice or encourage single use.

Oil quality is dependent on storage method (strain it with filter, keep airtight non-transparent container etc) and cooking temperature so people need to be informed, but I don’t see reusing it once or twice with appropriate care cause significant harm.

Not the OP but I’ll put my PoV.

AI allows to cut junior and entry level artists. Companies only need to retain top 1% talent orchestrating hordes of AI.

While it is still a craft, commercial art is not about being genuine; it is to deliver product and meeting deadline while passing QA. AI’s output rate outpaces human labor, and the top 1% can certainly identify what aspect makes AI output slop. Which means they can cherry pick “OK” part of AI, review, iterate, tweak to deliver product while keeping quality. The process previously involved comunication between senior and junior artits. Now companies don’t need the rest of the 99% anymore as workforce.

What will happen in the long run? Who knows. Companies are known for only keen on immediate profit.

This tendency is widespread and not limited to art field, nor related to the argument of intrinsic value of art. I can argue this is more of labor (and capitalism) issue, on top of people whose art stolen not getting enough compensation for their work. While I’m not against AI technology itself, its effect on peoples livelihood and climate impact makes current AI landscape hard to defend.
