I'm sure her results would be very accurate if troll farms could vote and chatgpt was doing the count.

I do like it also, but notice how they try to hide most of these strange effects in their demo video. They're trying to pass it off as a playable minecraft. Anything interesting about the technology is a defect to these people.

They also claim this is "the first playable AI-generated game" when the exact same sort of thing already existed in 2022 (and it looked a lot more efficient and haunted): https://madebyoll.in/posts/game_emulation_via_dnn/ Maybe it doesn't count if you call it "Neural network" instead of "AI".

I don't like how people use "hallucinations" to refer to the output of neural networks, but you know what, it is all hallucination. It's hallucination on our part, looking at arbitrary sequences of tokens and seeing meaningful text. It's pareidolia, and it's powerful.

Study finds greedy white children would rather have two fictitious cookies than one real one they can eat.

(This particular study, if there even is a real study, is infuriating because what it's really measuring is how much you trust a figure of authority to keep their promise. I wonder why black kids would have issues with this!)

Oh cool it's even worse then!

Racism is insane; it fixates on superficial characteristics like skin color rather than important ones like IQ and time preference.

I'm sorry, "time preference"? Is this piece of shit referring to Colored People's Time as a scientific concept or am I missing something?

This is such a cursed tweet ughhhhh

B-but homophobia is a social phenomenon. It's not real (genetic)!

Or people could take away different things, especially since post-2014 (?) Scott approaches controversial issues much more cautiously and deliberately made known (Kolmogorov) that he was never going to fully honest around certain topics, inviting (deliberately or not, accurate or not) Straussian readings.

Ugh. These people seem sad and they make me sad.

What do they mean by "in color"? If it's just various tints throughout the film that's normal and cool. If they mean full on colourised that's messed up.

I'm honestly obsessed with it because it's so baffling. It takes effort to make your smile look this fake, and dedication to stick with it year after year. There's no way he hasn't been told how bad it looks, and how he could simply squint his eyes just a tad and it would look so much more natural. It's got to be a choice.

This is cool but will any of it explain the most pressing MrBeast question: why does he smile like that? I'm assuming it's because he's always thinking about how terrible a person he is.

They're good for making earnest sounding vocalists sing about poopy peepee caca, which I regret to say I will never not find hilarious.

They're advertising automated slideshows? In 2024? That's desperate.

neither left nor right (feudalist)

Yup, that sure is the sort of meandering non-melodies suno can already produce.

Yeah my thought always was if it was a real game they would allow home printed copies.

Veering completely off topic, if we're talking privileged young men with enormous musical ability coming out of nowhere and networking themselves into releasing crazy music, I'm rather into Hermann Szobel myself.

It's a pretty fascinating bit of history too if you're into this sort of thing.

i like turtles

Yes whatever I think of his aesthetic priorities and the way his image is cultivated he does seem genuinely passionate about music and I do respect that. I'm sure I'd actually forgive him a lot more if only he didn't sound so ludicrously posh.

I think he can compose some really neat vocal harmonies but yes as you said his singing voice is grating and uh, honestly sometimes it's like vocal blackface
