No, I'm telling you what I'm literally telling you. If you think Palantir is not going to have their data, I have a bridge to sell you.

Shell companies are what used for tax avoidance, the tactic is the same: work influence through separate companies also controlled by you. I am not surprised someone from the .ml is defending the worst aspects of capitalism by nitpicking criticism against them, take that as you will.

Ah, yes, that completely separate company where one of the biggest investors is from a fund belonging to Peter Thiel. Completely separate.

They are different companies in the same way Cambridge Analytica and Emerdata are different companies. Who's one of Persona's biggest invester through Founders Fund is Peter Thiel.

This is such a basic tactic that it literally is used for tax avoidance: shell companies. If you think Palantir is not going to have their data, I have a bridge to sell you.

From what I’ve seen, though, they don’t “have your data” as that’s not their thing.

That's what they claim, and yet people were able to hack their Discord age verification tech and discover otherwise. Where have you even heard this, because I hope it's not from their CEO, He often goes on religiously fueled technofeudalist rants about the antichrist, the end of the world, and the justification for unified warrant-less mass surveillance of it all.

That's a good point, but this technique isn't suddenly going to be replacing people's works, jobs, or IP.

I've criticized NVIDIA for being the abusive monopoly that it is in nearly every other comment, but what you are describing isn't even limited to just NVIDIA, and frankly, I'm not going to be really defending major IP holders, just the small creators. There's a lot of generative AI that's endangering small creators, but in my opinion this is not endangering it.

My biggest problem with AI training ignoring intellectual property is their hypocrisy to rush technology that is being used to try to replace a lot of real world jobs blindly, not to protect excessively long IP laws and IP copyright trolls and hoarders. People should download their free cars if they can.

True, but this is what this filter is actually doing: https://streamable.com/j0ryqe

It can manipulate lighting and material, but it has to be in the source material, if that makes sense.

It's worse, I made plenty of criticism to go along with those comments. They are downvoting not only anything that breaks the circlejerk. They've been given free reign to be as toxic as possible, to the point of just being able to get away with spamming multiple communities with claims I'm a bot - and I can't even have my usual fun trolling back in the sea of downvotes because I wrongly dismissed that this was generative AI, something Jensen himself had referred to as 😭

It would be funny if my account is lost for an issue so temporary. I've already begun to see the circlejerk try to get over what this actually is by switching over from claiming it is AI slop to saying it just makes it look like it and criticism that's actually more valid. Still, it's led to the pretty funny circumstances of people implying I'm an NVIDIA shill, because that also implies that NVIDIA shills have to now get around by telling people they should not support them and their abusive monopoly feeding the AI bubble through global cartels.

It certainly is using generative AI methods given Jensen is calling it that. People have their own issues with things, but IP theft is the biggest for me given it shows the disturbing amount of leeway people developing have been given to break the law.

There is no better way to enshittify something than to crowdsource it

It's been nice so far, thanks for the examples and the conversation. I don't think there's much more to add. Even though you want to keep discussing it, I feel like I'd be repeating myself just to reach an impasse. Have a good day!

That's ok, I can paste what you were trying to compare here:

I'm not seeing the relevance of your new video. This filter manipulates brightness and material at a pixel level, which my video shows at several. At the level of focus you are trying to show, there are still material differences being applied, like how light bounces of off the skin, eye, and lips, and the filter is working over detail that I already warned you the only frames that could be compared against each other are lacking.

My video already shows it applying well enough, but if try to zoom up to the pixels in an image that does not have the quality to show what it's parting from and ignore what's happening on the quality that can be made it, it certainly can be argued into a different story.

I think my example already does a decent job at showing that this isn't just the typical image generation AI, so I'm afraid we'll have to disagree from here on out, as I don't think either can make the example to each other any more clearer. Regardless, if you are as interested as I am on this, it will be something true experts go over and point out when it gets released.

Just to be clear, this is what you have a problem with: https://streamable.com/j0ryqe

 

The bartender asks, «Какие темы должно продвигать это „Агентство интернет-исследований“»?

 

Amazon plans to use automation to replace more than 600,000 workers who would otherwise be hired in the United States by 2033, according to internal documents obtained by The New York Times. By that time, the company is expected to sell about twice as many goods as it does today.

Amazon’s robotics team is reportedly working toward the goal of automating 75% of its entire business. By 2027, it is expected to eliminate around 160,000 jobs in the US, saving the company an estimated $12.6 billion — equivalent to around 30 cents per item delivered.

 

Anyone else getting these donation ads? Was it just shoved onto an update by the Lemmy devs, or is this coming from the instance admins? It doesn't seem to show on clean browser sessions to lemmy.ca
