I was in a fashion show in tokyo in 2024.
i noticed their fashion was all human designed. but they had a lot of posters, video, and music that was AI generated.
I point blank asked the curator why he used AI for some stuff but didn't enhance the fashion with AI. I was a bit naive because I was actually curious to see if AI wasn't ready for fashion or maybe they were going for an aesthetic. I genuinely was trying to learn and not point out a hypocrisy.
he got mad and didn't answer. i guess it is because they didn't want to pay for everything else. big lesson learned in what to ask lol.
but the other people cc'ed in the particular emails i found do pop up though. weird.
edit: another apple issue i have been hearing about recently is that the apple watch alarm just doesn't work some days. i have no idea why.
i don't have silent mode on when it happens. i have tried so many different settings to fix it. ended up buying the hatch alarm.
Hopefully as these models get better, we get to a place where judges are pressured to apply empathy more justly.
Ever since then I have been deeply unsettled. I started questioning taking integrals to (+/-) infinity, and so I became unsettled with R too.
If C exists to fix R, then why does R even exist? Why does R need to be fixed? Why does the use of the upper or lower plane for counter integration not matter? I can do mathematically why, but why do we have a choice?
This blog post really articulated stuff formally that I have been bothered by for years.
I kinda regret going through the SeLU paper lol back in the late 2010s.
I suppose all "gacha" games use this pattern. I find it interesting that gachapon machines are so ingrained in Japanese culture because it is basically culturally approved gambling.
Then again, the West had similar with sports trading cards, which are less popular now. Then again, again, NFTs kinda brought this back for a bit with the randomized drops.
Is this even possible??? It takes me *at least* 2 seconds to see if a video game clip is interesting to me. That is kinda crazy.
This is pretty messed up btw.
Social work for children systems in the USA are very messed up. It is not uncommon for minority families to lose rights to parent their children for very innocuous things that would not happen to a non-oppressed class.
It is just another way for the justice/legal system to pressure families that have not been convicted / penalized under the supervision of a court.
And this isn't the only lever they use.
Every time I read crap like this I just think of Aaron Swartz.
Is it? I have quite a few friends that are relatively successful music producers/djs, and they don't seem impressed. A lot of music gen AI fails to match prompts at all. Maybe I am using the wrong tools.
It also seems quite difficult to iterate on a sound.
It is quite difficult to be on both sides of the situation.
it is a fine enough article as it is though!
I originally had it saved as [[ https://www.r2d3.us/visual-intro-to-machine-learning-part-1/ ]] but it seems that link is gone?
The best way to get the correct answer on something is posting the wrong thing. Not sure where I got this from, but I remember it was in the context of stackoverflow questions getting the correct answer in the comments of a reply :)
Props to the author for their honesty and having the impetus to blog about this in the first place.
My point is more so that these are both approaches to push more KYC.
And many comments in here understand that this particular ban is using "for the kids" as an excuse, so why didn't the other thread have more comments recognizing this excuse?
The one from yesterday was discussing how australia is banning social media for anyone under 16. Most comments were supportive because they hate social media.
A few comments were discussing how it is just a way to propagate more KYC.
this approach is garbage, but i find your second line a bit odd.
it is also funny you bring up china because china changed their entire character system for diversity reasons (less educated people couldn't read).
but maybe i gave it a gracious reading.
edit: whoever did the gameplay video is really good at mario n64. They were playing to and reacting to stuff that had rendered very late, if at all.
