One thing to consider, if this turned out to be accepted, it would make it much harder to prosecute actual csam, they could claim “ai generated” for actual images

0x0001 , 6 months ago to nostupidquestions in What is feeling of not caring about death?

I’m nihilistic so keep that bias in mind with the rest of this:

Life is a beautiful nightmare. Death is inevitable and worrying about it does nothing positive for you. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with accepting death before it comes 👍

Eh the general consensus is that this launch is a small early adopter phase and they have cheaper versions in the pipeline. They’re only producing <100k units, definitely not going for mass adoption yet

摆烂 bai3lan4

A slang term that means “stop striving”, I’d say it’s loosely akin to the phrase “quiet quitting” but a bit more general.

0x0001 , 7 months ago to nostupidquestions in Why do we have an internal monologue?

Not everyone does, I’ve had a lot of conversations with a lot of people on this topic.

People’s thought processes range from monologue to dialog to narration to silence to images to raw concepts without form.

I personally do not have a constantly running monologue, but rather have relatively short bursts of thought interspersed with long periods of silence.

Tldr; there’s a housing shortage because… there are not enough houses being built

if everything is classical, a whole lot of stuff is going to be tough to explain like quantum superposition as it’s used in modern qubits, or quantum tunneling experiments that have proven effective. Heck I’m even interested in the double slit experiment explanation in the context of these fluctuations from the paper

0x0001 , 10 months ago to news in Auto loans could pose a bigger threat to young Americans than student loans. For the first time, the outstanding volume of auto loan debt just surpassed student loan debt.

Good god, according to census.gov:

Real median household income was $74,580 in 2022

Which works out to $6,215/month. Less than $200/month for emergencies, nobody is saving money with these figures. Our economic system is broken.

It’s a bit complex, and you can find a better answer elsewhere, but a model is a set of “weights” and “bias” that make up the pathways of the neurons in a neural network.

A model can include other features but at its core it gives users the ability to run an “ai” like gpt, though models aren’t limited to only natural language processing.

Yes, you can download the models and run them on your computer, generally there will be instructions in each repository, but in general it involves downloading the model which can be very large and running it using an existing ml framework like pytorch.

It’s not a place for the layman right now, but with a few hours of research you could make it happen.

I personally run several models that I got through huggingface on my computer, llama2 which is similar to gpt3 is the one I use the most.

Huggingface takes a bit of getting used to but it’s the place to find models and datasets, imo it may be one of the most important websites on the internet today.
