We know how the last "military drills" went. Better to launch some preemptive strikes on those positions, before they can fire them towards Ukraine.

DarkThoughts ,

The joke is that the model itself runs locally, but it still is basically spyware that then will be used for data harvesting. Typically you run local LLMs to avoid this exact purpose / risk. So MS isn't even willing to give you the performance benefit of running the LLM on their servers for doing this.

DarkThoughts ,

Easier to be read that way for sure, or maybe I'm just too cynical from all the comments I had to read for topics akin to this.

DarkThoughts ,

Just to clarify, 1 microgram is 0.001 milligrams, so 330 micrograms are 0.33 milligrams and 1 gram is made out of 1000 milligrams.

DarkThoughts ,

Thanks for the mental image...

DarkThoughts ,

All LLM headlines are like this to fuel the ongoing hysteria about the tech. It's really annoying.

DarkThoughts ,

Those were demon children from hell (with like 2 exceptions maybe). It was a crime by Bethesda to make them invulnerable / protected by default.

DarkThoughts ,

It's such an emotional topic that people lose all rationale.
I remember the Reddit arguments in the comment sections about pedos, already equalizing the term with actual child rapists, while others would argue to differentiate because the former didn't do anything wrong and shouldn't be stigmatized for what's going on in their heads but rather offered help to cope with it. The replies are typically accusations of those people making excuses for actual sexual abusers.

I always had the standpoint that I do not really care about people's fictional content. Be it lolis, torture, gore, or whatever other weird shit. If people are busy & getting their kicks from fictional stuff then I see that as better than using actual real life material, or even getting some hands on experiences, which all would involve actual real victims.

And I think that should be generally the goal here, no? Be it pedos, sadists, sociopaths, whatever. In the end it should be not about them, but saving potential victims. But people rather throw around accusations and become all hysterical to paint themselves sitting on their moral high horse (ironically typically also calling for things like executions or castrations).

DarkThoughts ,

I suggest you actually download stable diffusion and try for yourself because it's clear that you don't have any clue what you're talking about. You can already make tiny people, shaved, genitals, flat chests, child like faces, etc. etc. It's all already there. Literally no need for any LoRAs or very specifically trained models.

DarkThoughts ,

You make it sound like it is so easy to even find such content on the www. The point is, they do not need to be trained on such material. They are trained on regular kids, so they know their sizes, faces, etc. They're trained on nude bodies, so they also know how hairless genitals or flat chests look like. You don't need to specifically train a model on nude children to generate nude children.

DarkThoughts ,

Just to be clear here, he's not actually persecuted for generating such imagery like the headline implies.

DarkThoughts ,

You don't need CSAM training data to create CSAM images. If your model knows how children looks like, how naked human bodies look like, then it can create naked children. That's simply how generative models like this work and has absolutely nothing to do with specifically trained models for CSAM using actual CSAM material.

So while I disagree with him, in that lack of education is the cause of CSAM or pedophilia... I'd say it could help with the general hysteria about LLMs, like the one's coming from you, who just let their emotions run wild when those topics arise. You people need to understand that the goal should be the protection of potential victims, not the punishment of victimless thought crimes.

DarkThoughts ,

Laws shouldn't be about feelings though and we shouldn't prosecute people for victimless thought crimes. How often did you think something violent when someone really pissed you off? Should you have been persecuted for that thought too?

DarkThoughts ,

Because what prompts people enter on their own computer isn't in their responsibility? Should pencil makers flag people writing bad words?

DarkThoughts ,

Who are the victims of someone generating such images privately then? It's on the same level as all the various fan fiction shit that was created manually over all the past decades.

And do we apply this to other depictions of criminalized things too? Would we ban the depiction of violence & sexual violence on TV, in books, and in video games too?

DarkThoughts ,

Fair enough. lol

DarkThoughts ,

Game logic runs independently from what your monitor can display. So it's really just a question on what effect it has on the player itself. Maybe for VR there's an argument to be made, although I feel 1000 Hz still sounds like complete overkill even in that area. But I'm gonna call bullshit on people who claim to be able to tell the difference of such high rates.

DarkThoughts ,

I didn't say framerate, I said from what your monitor can display. FPS and Hz are not synonymous.

DarkThoughts ,

You've got it the wrong way around. People play very high FPS games on (comparatively) lower Hz monitors. This has been common practice in competitive pvp shooters for decades.

DarkThoughts ,

If your breed requires special training to not maul you or others to death, then that just proves the point of the breed being dangerous and that it should be outlawed. But please, continue to make some more bullshit excuses.

DarkThoughts ,

where is this indicated?

In the fact that this keeps on happening even with experienced owners.

DarkThoughts ,

They launched a brutal assault on literal ravers and then commenced to invade civilian homes. The fuck did you think they were planning to do there? They clearly did not go for military targets. Playing terrorist apologist is a seriously weird take on that matter.

DarkThoughts ,

You probably at least missed the part where they cheered for hamas and spat on the disfigured and raped bodies of their victims.

DarkThoughts ,

It's what gave Israel its pretext to retaliate so you tell me.

DarkThoughts ,

I mean, there's murdered children and a beheaded baby on www.thisishamas.com. Not sure why everyone feels the need to play hamas apologist.

DarkThoughts ,

Well, a fetus. But if that makes it better for you, then you do you...

Helicopter carrying Iran's President Raisi crashes, search under way ( www.reuters.com )

DUBAI, May 19 (Reuters) - A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog, an Iranian official told Reuters, and rescuers were struggling to reach the site of the incident....

DarkThoughts ,

I'm not sure bias checking Reuters is really necessary.

DarkThoughts ,

Isn't the president mostly a puppet for the ayatollah? What would be the point of taking him out?

DarkThoughts ,

Doesn't seem to happen when they get squashed.

DarkThoughts ,

As with most insects, it pretty much always depends on how convenient / inconvenient it is to capture & release them at the time of finding them. If it is very late and they sit in a bad spot then I'm not gonna go through the hassle. If they release some stink bomb shit when feeling threatened then I'm even less inclined to do so.

DarkThoughts ,

Naja. Die meisten großen Modelle sind ja mit Internetdaten trainiert, und die sind seit ca. 2015 in Deutschland eben genau auf diesem Niveau. Sollte also nicht zu sehr überraschen, dass man mit derartigem Trainingsmaterial eben ähnliche Kommentare generieren kann.

DarkThoughts ,

Afaik voting is not federated so you always just see the "local reaction".

DarkThoughts ,

Are you sure? I occasionally see people complain about downvotes while having 0 downvotes.

DarkThoughts ,

Ah, I see. As far as I know fedia only defederated a few very small instances that caused technical issues. Hexbear comments were actually one of the examples I was referring to, but upvotes instead of downvotes. But I guess the discrepancy then comes not from my end, but theirs. They probably did not see a lot of the downvotes because they came from instances that weren't federating with them, so they weren't aware of how much they got actually downvoted. Seems a little problematic in that it reinforces their little echochamber.

DarkThoughts ,

Another user explained why I likely saw the discrepancy. Though, aside from that, federation generally is very much wonky and unreliable unfortunately.

DarkThoughts ,

Ist auch eine schöne Parallele zur Klimakrise.

DarkThoughts ,

Selbe Spiel in der Klimapolitik.

DarkThoughts ,

Check his profile and then decide to not bother, other than reporting him of course.

DarkThoughts ,

I'd like a HL3, but not yet another competitive pvp game. So not sure if that would be the right approach if they can't even hit the same target audience.

DarkThoughts ,

That's some wild take on Soviet propaganda.

DarkThoughts ,

Nuclear energy has, by a staggering margin, the lowest death toll of any form of energy generation per kW produced. And almost all of these come from Chernobyl, where 31 people died due to the explosion, then a further 46 died due to radiation poisoning from the cleanup.

DarkThoughts ,

lol
It's the official numbers provided by the SU. But your ad hominem projection really shows that you don't have any argument in this anyway. Fucking clown.

DarkThoughts ,

I said it is "more or less legal", meaning it is defacto legal because no one actually enforces it and rather makes it legal if they had to enforce it.

DarkThoughts ,

I don't report, because it's not anonymous. And other people who kept reporting like crazy ended up getting charged for it by the police, so I'd rather not do that. Plus it is typically the case that reports aren't getting followed up upon. Not that it would even make sense to literally report every single car all the way down the entire street anyway. I've seen Ordnungsamt people walk through it, so they very clearly know. Not that it is some secret anyway since again, it's absolutely everywhere. It's the norm. So if they wanted to enforce it, then they could just do it.

DarkThoughts ,

Cars have such a high priority in people's lives that this wouldn't help much because a court would generally rule in favor of the cars, since a lot of people are basically dependent on them, which somehow justifies having your car park in front of your house. Otherwise we'd have the consequence of having to create dedicated parking spaces everywhere in form of parking garages / houses, which would be away from where people live since the space for that is typically not existent.
But hey, you're welcome to try to create some sort of precedence in court. Maybe you can afford some very good lawyer who could pull this through and convince the judge.
