Ooh, what improvements does it have so far?

What a cutie! Pretty spots :)

Super interesting, thank you! :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov–Ribbentrop_Pact?wprov=sfla1 here’s a hopefully working link for anyone else interested

Edit: I think maybe something is broken with the Wikipedia app, it won’t open that link either, though it at least seems to be working in my browser

Yeah, I’m not really mad at that. I don’t think it changes my sentiment towards generative ai, but I don’t mind people finding ways to create their own fun and roleplaying or whatever

I want that red top. And jacket frankly

Thanks :)

That like seems to be broken, neither the Wikipedia app nor my browser can open it

In my browser I get:

Bad title

Did you mean: Molotov?

The requested page title contains unsupported characters: “%E2”.

YIKES… I straight up did not know that…

Oof ouch my misinformed 😬

I wish we could see what outlet it was for context

Generative ai and machine learning are pretty broadly considered different if adjacent technologies if I’m not mistaken

https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2024/06/25/the-vital-difference-between-machine-learning-and-generative-ai/ probably not the best source, I just grabbed what came up

They don’t really do the same thing, and have different types of outputs compared to one another, even if both use a neural network of weights or whatever

As a person who has spent a huge amount of my life making art I think the idea that it will get more people into art is naive, and I think being devoid of understanding artistic principles it makes poor reference compared to anything else, which is part of why artists communities loathe generative AI. I follow tons of artists online and they all periodically have to stop and vent their frustration.

A youtuber artist did a whole video explaining how finding reference on the internet is now borderline impossible due to ai content, and after problem solving explained you can avoid that problem by only looking at images older than when gen ai became widespread. It reached a pretty big audience and was extremely well recieved by artists, broadly, hate gen ai and want nothing to do with it 😅

Also just wanna clarify- I’m not downvoting you. I try to downvote when a comment is bad behaviour or doesn’t add anything, not just when I don’t agree with someone

By the way, this comm is for memes about the fediverse, rather than just memes posted here on the Fediverse more broadly 😅

This is probably not the right comm unless I’m missing something

I think the appeal of seeing stuff that people make is that it reflects the humans who made it.

I’m generally not especially interested in what an algorithm produces, at least not in the same way or for the same reason as I am things made by people.

I don’t know what gen ai could produce that I would sincerely find good, it lacks the humanity that gives that product any worth.

Is that generative ai or machine learning? I really don’t have the same issue with machine learning

Its not just llm’s, I find calling ai generated images “art” frankly offensive and demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what art is and why it’s important to us as humans. But my issue is really just generative ai

I don’t really think people have an issue with machine learning, it’s useful for all kinds of stuff, and doesn’t really come with the same ethical problems as best I’m aware, so I have no reason to complain about it.

At least it’s a pretty sight!

I like your username :)

I’m not exactly sure how hard my water is, but I don’t think it’s soft and I don’t think it’s like ridiculously hard.

Yeah, trying to raise the babies right off the bat definitely feels like an ambitious choice with exactly zero fish-keeping experience 😅. I think part of me just worries that the breeder who has the pattern I love will end up keeping different stuff and won’t have them any more. I rarely see that pattern and when I do its usually a slightly different version/line, and more expensive (I think what I like might be considered lower “grade” or quality. The patterns are more random and blotchy and I think that’s prettier than the more organized or symmetrical patterns). That may just be a fomo anxiety on my part

I think I remember looking up the weight and seeing it was within the rated weight limit, but I’ll double check it! I live on the third floor, it’d really fucking suck if it failed lol

Thank you for the encouragement! If I give things a go when I manage to get a job I’ll be sure to post it 😊 in the mean time I’ll just be happy to see people’s cool tanks :) I’ve just about run out of things to research, so if I stay interested it’s a good sign it’s a hobby I’d like to pursue and not just me having fun obsessively learning stuff about some random hobby and planning out hypotheticals lol

That is genuinely really interesting, I didn’t expect it to be db0. Thanks!

Huh, I wouldn’t have guessed db0, interesting. I’d kinda considered exploring db0 as a future instance but maybe its not such a good fit for me. Thanks for the answer!

That doesn’t really help me or add anything to the conversation. I already have views on ai, I was really just asking about the dynamics and cultures of different instances because I find learning about those cultural differences interesting.

I’m personally not a fan. Its a commercial product built on the theft of intellectual labor by creatives and the primary selling point of generative ai is that it can replace the people who do that creative labor. I’ve tried using it at various points and it straight up made stuff up and ended up not helping me find what I was looking for at all. I tried to use it to generate practice text I could translate into Japanese for language learning and it constantly used words other than the ones provided- words I didn’t know in japanese.

It has hypothetically useful usecases, that I pretty much never see anyone actually implement, and it feels very clear that the only reason anyone is investing in it is because it can reduce the need to pay actual humans, generating more money for people who already have tons, while wasting huge amount of electricity and resources.

Telling me, apropos of nothing, that having a stance other than neutral is “stupid” doesn’t add anything, give me anything to consider, substantiate any stance, provide any details, etc. I don’t really need to know that you think I’m stupid for not liking ai.

Thank you, I struggled to look it up and find an answer that made any sense 😅

Which instance is pro ai?
