  • This is based on one controversial source, an article written by a priest, to which the commission board decided to formally respond with concern, including for conflict of interest

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5567452/

    There is a whole discussion.

    The point of having sources is not to demonstrate a number is true, but to allow readers to see how scientific are the findings. You can read the discussion for yourself.

    This poster cherrypicks a controversial article that shows the numbers the poster authors wanted, despite it being an outlier in that research space

  • If you are interested on contemporary socialist economy professors talking about the experiences in the soviet union and in China, there are some, Richard Wolff is a nice one to start with. He carefully explains concepts of Marxism and to what extent they were applied in various cases, but then focuses on what current socialists advocate for.

    If you want working examples of non-capitalist systems, that are sorts of socialist systems, we have worker coops such as the Mondragon coop in Spain, or the Democratic Confederalism of Kurdistan

    If you are not interested in learning anything of socialism past what billionaires' propaganda tells you, you are very free to do so

  • "Those in control" should be the workers, otherwise it's not socialism, no matter how dictators like to call themselves

    "Everyone treated like crap except those in control" applies to capitalism too, especially in colonised countries

  • Popularity is a curse, and the fix for a fair economic life is anti-capitalism

    Capitalism will exploit people's qualities, if that is looks, they will exploit that too

  • Yes, I don't think it's a matter of training.

    The diffusion model generates pictures by starting on a canvas with random pixels, then it edits those pixel colours and carves the picture out of that chaos

    To achieve an area with all the same colour, it would need to put very exact values on the last generation step.

    It can be fixed easily with a very subtle lowpass filter, but that would be human intervention. The model itself will have a hard time replicating it

  • Two that I noticed are:

    For drawings in the ghibli style, you can see noise on areas that should have all the same colour. That's because of how the diffusion model works, it's very hard for it to replicate lack of variation in colours. If fact that noise will always exist, it's just more noticeable on simple styles.

    For music, specifically with Suno, it tends to use the similar sounding instruments between different tracks of the same specifispecified genres, and those sounds might change during the track and never come back to their original sound (because it generates section by section of the track from start to end, the transformer model will feed the last sections back as input to generate the new ones, amplifying possible biases in the model)

  • Is the concept of a classless society even conceivable?

    Jump

  • It is conceivable.

    For example, imagine a society like ours but where everyone, no matter their wealth, has to do essential jobs, taking turns. For example everyone in your city needs to be a garbage collector for one week every 2 years, or they need to work in hospitals to help clean patients for a week every year, maybe you need to work in the fields for a month every 2 years, basically all jobs that people only do because they can't do anything less tiresome plus jobs that are now almost fully automated to produce essentials but still require some labour.

    In that system, you'd always have enough workforce to give everyone enough food, homes, healthcare and education to live, while people might still work at secondary non-essential jobs, voluntarily, and gaining a bit more to have their fancy cars and yatch.

    This is a conceptual society where, despite the possibility for individual differences, you don't really have classes, because no matter if you were born in poverty or you are Elon Musk, you all have to take part on essential services equally.

  • I recently made a pdf with some of my notes on hints of AI in images and music, but I'm not sure how to send files here

    It's not easy ofc, and it will get harder with time, but I am convinced we can tell if trained a bit. Because there are clear differences in the creative processes between humans and machines, which will always result in different biases

    With time I think we'll learn to only trust people we have some social connection with, so we know they are real and they don't use AI (or they use it up to a level acceptable to us)

  • Tbf to them it's not their fault that the once leftwing party "randomly" decided to put a boneless liberal right before an election that had them winning for sure

    I wonder what lobbies and their media have to say about that magic trick

  • There's a german techno band called Scooter, they made a song called How Much is the Fish, and another one called the phrase I wrote

  • Any AI/service that can translate legal writings to a more understandable version?

    Jump

  • You could try Google's new NotebookLM if the legal writing is a book, or even just a long document

    Otherwise just use any llm and ask step by step checking references

  • The question is what is the question

  • If using AI generated art is theft, then why are we okay with memes using random people's digital art and photos with zero attribution?

    Jump

  • Imo the main difference would be that genAI models have been trained on a whole lot of art without consent, and the few privileged companies who are able to do this are making a ton of money (mainly by investors, not sure how much from paying users). Which is very extractive and centralised. Using others' art to do memes at least is distributed and not that remunerative

    Putting AI aside, if we see art used in a meme of a random shitposter, it feels different than a political party or a big corporation using that art to do meme propaganda/advertisement.

    Another interesting field for this is YouTube poops. They use tons of copyrighted materials, from big movies to local youtubers to advertisement. I would consider that fair, but if instead a big television network had a program showing youtubers' content without permission that's another story

    Another example: Undertale's soundtrack being made with Earthbound's sound effects and samples. If it weren't an indie, especially if it was a big publisher using an indie's sounds, it wouldn't have been well received.

    So back to AI, when it comes to a person using it for their own projects, the issue to me isn't really using stolen art, but using a tool that was made with an extractive theft of art by a big corporation, rather than seeking collaboration with artists, using existing CreativeCommons stuff, etc.

    We also have to keep the context in mind: copyright laws mainly serve big publishers, hardly ever it protects smaller creators from such big publishers, in any field. The genAI training race is based on a complete lack of interest in applying or at least discussing the law.

    I'm glad to see tho that thanks to this phenomenon more and more people are seeing how IP doesn't make any sense to begin with. Just keep in mind copyright and attribution are two different things.

  • Has this ever happened to you?

    Jump

  • Yeah... you see, exactly because people who think like you exist, women have to look for clues right away that they are not going to date a misogynist...

    Women need protection when meeting with strangers, basically all women have life experience that make them feel they need it. I'm sure you as a guy are able to take no for an answer, but your date doesn't know that yet, and it takes just one guy who doesn't to ruin a woman's dating experience and possibly her health and safety.

    I do know women who don't feel that need, but that's mostly because they are ignoring their own and their friends' past experiences. It's their choice ofc, but it's universally accepted among women that it's not a strange thing to do, in fact is the safest thing to do.

    If some women then abuse that need to try to freeride, it's another discussion, and as a guy I would simply drop the date if I were in that situation. But the need exists, it is valid, and not validating this need to your date will raise a red flag.

  • Has this ever happened to you?

    Jump

  • I see... Yeah I'm pretty sure that in such a case, where I'm expected to pay, not even asked to, I would definitely cancel, be it one or two people... This is so uncommon in m6 experience that I didn't even think that could be a case

  • Has this ever happened to you?

  • Mh is he not showing he's annoyed by her friend tagging along? And why bringing money up?

    I mean, if it were happening to me, where I live, I wouldn't even think she was going to expect me to pay not even for herself, and if she ends up expecting or pressuring me, I just know she's not the one. What's there to be scared of? Worst case scenario I just leave my part on the table and go away

    I know of memes about women going to first fates just to have nights out without paying, but it's very far from what I see happening where I live, and I suspect it's just manophase echo chamberism. Because, again, one can just put their part on the table and leave, and perhaps date within one's social circle so to avoid this kind of social distortion

  • Has this ever happened to you?

  • Dude showed he's annoyed seeing girl seeks protection, by calling the friend RoboCop, and implied she might have wanted him to pay for both, putting carriage before horses.

    What you say literally can often show what you think inside, and in a first date scenario every sign will be interpreted

    For example, not showing much respect for the female need for protection on a first date can mean dude doesn't think women have reason to feel unsafe
