Tangential: I’ve heard that there are 3D printer people that print junk and sell them. This would not be much of a problem if they didn’t pollute the spaces they operate in. The example I’ve heard of is artist alleys at conventions- a 3D printer person will set up a stall and sell plastic models of dragons or pokemon or whatever. Everything is terrible!

What’s your P(that question has been asked at a US three letter agency)

probably on par with the other stuff you might see at a rationalist poly compound

A random thought occurred to me that Veo is probably “better” at being prompted with something like “the scene from X movie but with Y instead of Z” as it is a plagiarism engine first and foremost. I will never investigate this hypothesis, nor will I hold onto it past typing it here.

Musk objects to the "stochastic parrot" labelling of LLMs. Mostly just the stochastic part.

[–] swlabr@awful.systems 16 points 3 weeks ago

oh, absolutely. I mean you could sub out "LLM" with any bullshit that management can easily spring on their understaff. Agile, standups, return to office, the list goes on. Management can get fucked

"This study that I didn't read that has a real methodology for evaluating LLM usefulness instead of just trusting what AI bros say about LLM usefulness is wrong, they should just trust us, bros", that's you

They’re also (indirectly) competing with Umamusume: Pretty Derby, which offers zero P2E elements, but does offer horse waifus and actual entertainment value. Needless to say, we both know who’s winning this particular fight for people’s cash.

It's almost as if people don't want to spend money on bland low-poly 3D models of horses and would instead prefer waifu art with surprisingly intricate character design that I definitely do not know anything about*
