Left side: Black mirror S01E02 “fifteen million merits” . A guy tries to “break the system” but this backfires and his critic that was supposed to change people’s minds is absorbed by it and turned into an entertainment product. The upper-left image shows the moment in the episode where he criticizes the system threatening to kill himself while the bottom one shows the final image of the episode where he how lives in an expensive suite

Right side: “Being ugly : My Experience” A youtube video of a guy explaining how his unattractiveness has biased his life and brought unhappiness upon him. A reason why this became viral, besides the obvious connection by many due to the topic was that a girl commented that she found the guy of the video very cute and they actually became a couple

The meme: It compares both cases implying that the guy on the right was breaking the system but that his cause was “silenced” by providing him a girlfriend and turning him into a channel that lectures people on having hope about the prospect of finding a suitable partner

Space x doesn’t belong there

I have memories of literally asking this to my dad when I was a child and he telling me that they would never ever make more star wars movies

I even wonder if no guns at all would somehow decrease public shootings, are there any countries that implement that policy?

The closest to this I can remember rn was the movie oblivion, where humans used masks to distort their voice? Not sure about the logic behind that, pretty sweet visuals tho, the UI design was sick

Eehrm, acktually, the tweet is wrong 🤓

You can always be getting a result above average in a series of numbers as long as the nth number is significantly greater than the previous ones. For example, f(x) = x^2 would always be above average for every next number

I was going to say this, their new architecture seems to be better than previous ones, they have more compute and I’m guessing, more data. The only explanation for this downgrade is that they tried to ban porn. I haven’t read online info about this at the time anyways, I’m just learning this recently

Maybe we could use some kind of AI filter to remove ads from the videostream? Like, analyzing the audio spectrum and blocking segments with very sudden changes audio-embedding vectors?

Interestingly enough, even if it would make sense that boeing is now fully focusing on improving quality, it also makes sense to me that airbus must be ensuring and pushing a lot of quality upgrades as well, it would be perfect marketing for them if no mistakes whatsoever happened on airbus’s planes

Are they going to integrate mastodon instead?

The teaser itself is some generic terrain with procedural grass anyone could do in blender in 3h

“but I don’t need privacy, I don’t have anything to hide!”

What would be the solution? Re-solder some chip from the motherboard?

Right but, AFAIK glaze is targeting the CLIP model inside diffusion models, which means any new versions of CLIP would remove the effect of the protection

But what about using a gun to kill someone?

I do think that the concept of recall is very interesting, I want to explore a FOSS version where you have complete ownership of your data in a secure manner

That’s actually a good point I had never considered! In a way you could consider that “negative numbers are imaginary as well”

… oh…

Should I delete this post? Hahah

This was one of the points of contention with the quantum revolution of the beginning of the 1900’s, schrödinger came up with the equation, which fitted like a glove for a lot of scenarios, but it had an imaginary component, which baffled a lot of people since it could imply reality uses such numbers at a fundamental level

We owe “quatties” to hamilton, but there is a generalization of the process in case you’re curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayley–Dickson_construction
