(nice ad hominem) Christ. When you reduce a high dimensional object into an embedded space, yes you keep only the first N features, but those N features are the most variable, and the loadings they contain can be used to map back to (a very good) approximation of the source images. It’s akin to reverse engineering a very lossy compression to something that (very strongly) resembles the source image (otherwise feature extraction wouldn’t be useful), and it’s entirely doable.
(thanks for the insult, stay classy) so the network training stage was pulled out of thin air then? Huh, I didn’t know these models could self-bootstrap themselves out of nothing.
I guess inverting models to do a tracing attack is impossible. Huh.
I drew out the luddite parallel deliberately: artists likely do not mind AI tools if they are credited and compensated for their work, but they receive no residuals nor credit whenever their work is used so using the tools amount to their theft.
Take heart, Comrade! For even in death, every scrap of your body shall live on in the flesh of all living tovarischista fighting the good fight against the imperialist swine who waste their uneaten fish heads!
the luddites were happy to use the new tech, but not for less pay and worse working conditions, so they trashed the machines - and history has sadly looked down on them ever since.

fuck motorbikes, you know exactly why.

uhh, most of germany yeah.
it sounds so innocuous. What’s wrong with it?
We should… we should kill OP, correct?
the future is not set in stone. Our weather predictive models are finding it harder to predict, given the high variability and uncertainty. Her kids might actually be fine.

People are finding them cool now. Useless, overpriced pieces of junk used as trophies to a rich mans poor ego… but distinctive enough that it might change future car designs.
Look at what the USPS bought with their new fleet of postal trucks.
Thanks for the Anton Petrov recommendation. I’ve been looking for better up to date science reviews, and I was getting sick of the Two Minute Papers channel with its near-constant shilling for Nvidia and OpenAI.
For me, a daily thing I do is sit in my grandmothers armchair, and put my feet up on a small table that also belonged to her, with my laptop on my lap. I realise that sitting is not a super exciting task, but I guess sitting draped in the unconditional love of your deceased grandma’s possessions makes it sound a bit better.
say hi to all the runners
Just make sure your Will is sealed tight
Thank you, it just clicked for me now
(Ah, the joyful tantrum). Educate yourself on how a simple JPEG works and exactly how little features are needed to produce an image that is almost indistinguishable from the source.
