That’s not how evidence works. If the original person has evidence that the software doesn’t work, then we need to look at both sets of evidence and adjust our view accordingly.

It could very well be that the software works 90% of the time, but there could exist some outlying examples where it doesn’t. And if they have those examples, I want to know about them.

Okay. Same. I’m not asking you to believe Glaze/Nightshade works on my word alone. All I said was that artists should try it.

Okay. I have that. Now what?

ETA: also, you can prove a negative, it’s just often much harder. Since the person above said it doesn’t work, the positive claim is theirs to justify. Whether it’s hard or not is not my problem.

Because it’s hard(er than doing nothing) and takes changing habits.

I haven’t seen any objective evidence that they don’t work. I’ve seen anecdotal stories, but nothing in the way of actual proof.

On that note, if you’re an artist, make sure you take Nightshade or Glaze for a spin. Don’t need access to the LLM if they’re wantonly snarfing up poison.

Can’t seem to find the actual article, so I’ll just engage with this small paragraph here.

Capitalism needs to be regulated (or better yet, replaced). Given that the US is currently experiencing the effects of unfettered capitalism (fascism, bribery, oligarchy, price gouging, monopolization, market collusion, just to name a few), I’m for more oversight.

However, the current administration and current Congress are both generally disinterested in actual regulation and, in my opinion, unqualified to implement something like AI-powered guardrails. It’s just the whole “blockchain everywhere” debacle all over again.

Furthermore, who would develop and maintain such a system? There would almost certainly be bids from the usual suspects (i.e. billionaires) who would “definitely develop it in good faith, trust me bro.” They definitely wouldn’t use that kind of access to hamstring the bot that’s supposed to be regulating them. /s

Rather than just putting a bot in charge, how about we just make the wealthy pay their fair share? How about strong legislation that prevents fraudulent transactions and mergers? How about meaningful punishments that deter bad actors, rather than slaps on the wrist that are just “the cost of doing business?”

We don’t need robots and software, we need sensible legislation.

Hmm, sounds like a “Freeze Updates” option should be available per game. I don’t do much modding, but I’ll see if I can suggest that idea somewhere or +1 any existing similar suggestion.

If your games are breaking on update, isn’t that the game devs’ faults?

artificially incompetent

Borrowing that: AI = Artificial Incompetence

Man, Douglas Adams was a real one.

I’m waiting for it to be inverted.

If it doesn’t work, try going into reading mode, then reloading the page. Often times, that catches many of the problematic sites that try to block Reading Mode

I vaguely remember it having a USB mode, but it’s been a long time. Check the settings.

Also, chargebacks aren’t zero-sum for the merchant. It costs them money on top of the cost of the sale, so enough people doing it would likely lead to legal action against the AI companies that negatively affect merchants’ bottom line.

That’s honestly probably a good sign. It means we’ve now come to a point in scientific achievement where that is a genuine possibility that we consider.

Before anyone gets too worried, remember that the FBI is run by Kash Patel, who is a nepo hire and certified idiot.

Right? How about neither option? How about Authoritarianism is bad, regardless of who’s doing it?

Precisely. Just ask Naomi Wu (SexyCyborg) how much she enjoys the surveillance state, how much she enjoyed being disappeared for a few months, how much she enjoys being told not to do any more techno State Resistance content, and how much she enjoys being able to leave but can’t, because her partner is queer.

Really, its a bunch of people who either like being in an in-group and/or they like feeling superior/powerful by promoting authoritarian communism.
