I love this so much.
Imagine being a resident of that town and one day the constant, unending low hum in the background of your hometown changes, ever so slightly–would the town feel different?
These sorts of arty weirdnesses should be everywhere, for everyone.
Here’s a free link to the full article: https://archive.ph/rHOsC
And here’s a video of the chord change, set from right around the moment of the change (which isn’t terribly different): https://youtu.be/L1a1CpaBovQ?t=1041
Fuck no.
Fuck all these motherfuckers.
Fuck, looks like it’s time to start looking at more alternatives to Android phones.
Already got an old one rooted. We need a solid Linux alternative or potentially a European company to start development.
If any of y’all know of a good, usable platform, I’d love to know about it.
Most of the identification of things like ‘horses’ falls in line with the identification of things like ‘crosswalks’ and ‘motorcycles’–in other words, the majority of the words associated with particular images in Google maps comes from people like us filling out Captcha, not from AI.
I think the fact someone would need to explain this to you makes it pointless to try and explain it to you. I can’t tell whether you’re honestly asking a question or just searching for a debate to attempt to justify your viewpoint.
The consumer-side AI that a handful of multi-billion-dollar companies keep peddling to us is just a way for them to attempt to justify AI to us. Otherwise, it consumes MASSIVE amounts of our energy capacities and is primarily being used in ways that harm us.
And, of course, there’s nothing they direct at us that isn’t ultimately (and solely) for their benefit–our every use of their AI helps train their models, and eventually it will simply be groups of billionaires competing against one another to form the most powerful model that allows them to dominate us and their competitors.
As long as this technology remains determined by those whose entire existence is organized around domination, it will be a sum harm to all of us. We’d have to free it from their grips to make it meaningful in our daily lives.
lol don’t let the drone fans see this post
