@jeffowski it's not that deep, this just a random post I saw and enjoyed but didn't feel like copying manually in the moment, and I thought I'd let you know why, at least. Now I definitely don't want to because I'm getting attacked for it and that is scary and exhausting.

Just leave me be, like damn, just calm down. I often make more posts about the erosion of democracy anyway, so really there is no issue here.

Do you realize how low the stakes are here?

Politics isn't "hmm today I will boost this image because it will get seven likes on mastodon", politics is about showing up, protesting, contacting politicians, proposing solutions, deconstructing evil, and so much more than callout posts or senseless toxic arguing over the internet.
Do you want to be correct, or do you just want to Win? This isn't about being truthful, you're just bashing away not wanting to hear anything back! I can't even contsructively criticize your posts without getting flamed!

I like the images and videos you post, but this is just toxic, and very far from what I expect from allies. "Be excellent to each other" goes out the window whenever someone slightly displeases you? I will not share media that I get from people like you, who extrapolate someone's entire worth and political value like you do, to any of my friends, because I want to be excellent to them, and this, this is downright dangerous. I hope you see what you are doing wrong now, because I can't point it out more obviously for you.

@jeffowski it's just screen reader unfriendly. And overwhelming for some.
Do you think blind people don't exist ?

Ableist.

@jeffowski if there weren't so many hashtags I would boost

whyyyy do videogame companies think it is okay to replace voice actors with AI, at first it was the finals, now it's everywhere, fucking pay human artists instead of maximizing profits fuck

@prettygood @vozercozer great idea!

@prettygood @vozercozer time to cancel my reccurent donation, at least it'll make them reach the peak and downfall of funding earlier, the sooner, the safer

@vozercozer @prettygood you know nudes are fine too but I really wanted pizza pics :(

@vozercozer hungry for some pizza now, send pics :blobcatlul:

@hor32 I love that youtube channel fr

@mattly what is that need if I may ask ?

@mattly the mathematical process for genAI to create images is called diffusion. To my knowledge, all image generation models are diffusion models. It's basically a mix of adding and removing complex noise until it reaches a certain result. Some models use tricks like inline generation to generate part of the image at a time, similar to rendering quadrants of a 3D scene on a CPU, instead of doing it all at once to yield more coherent results. When you ask chatGPT to generate an image, your prompt can be processed by an LLM to make it work better with the diffusion model's dataset of labelled imagery. It's also the method for video generation, although other transformer models are used to improve object permanence and other flaws on recent models like Sora and Veo 3. But yeah, you have LLMs for text and Diffusion models for imagery.
Highly recommend the wikipedia article and its linked articles to get a good technical overview : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_model

@solidsanek so mischevious-looking :blobcatevil:

@kaia saltnotes zero 2 spotted :blobcat3c:

@lain despite all parties disagreeing, .mp3 is just a really shitty, lossy .zip

@quixoticgeek I really don't get why people make their beds. You're literally going to use the blanket every night. It serves absolutely no purpose except make it pretty? And you have to do it every single morning for it to stay that way... There are less expensive ways to make your room pretty.

@jessew @buffet can you content warn math please :blabcat:
