  • In concept art art education they call this particular thing “incest”

    The example is using Skyrim weapon designs as the base reference to make your own fantasy weapon design. Over time each generation strays further from reality.

    However with ai where training data consist of huge sets of everything, to mich to filter manually there is a great benefit to be gained by using a small ai to do this filtering for you.

    In my previous example, this would be an ai that looks at all the stolen images and simply yes/no if they are a real photo for reference or a subjective interpretation. Some might get labeled wrong but overall it will be better then a human at this.

    The real danger is when its goes beyond “filtering this training set for x and y” into “build a training set with self sourced data” cause then it might wrongly decide that to create fantasy weapons one should reference other fantasy weapons and not train any real weapons.

    Currently some are already walking a grey line in between. They generate new stuff using ai to fit a request. Then use ai to filter for only the best and train on that. This strategy appears to be paying off… for now.

    Its funny for this joke but it would be completely ineffective.

    Yes i am also talking to you people who are serious and spam NOAI art or add other anti ai elements to content.

    Regardless of wether ai copying it will appear like humans doing it… Ai today can already easily parse meaning, remove all the extra fluff. Basically assess and prepare the content to be good for training.

    Proof (claude sonnet)

    I’ve read the social media post by Ken Cheng. The actual message, when filtering out the deliberate nonsense, is:

    “AI will never be able to write like me. Why? Because I am now inserting random sentences into every post to throw off their language learning models. […] I write all my emails […] and reports like this to protect my data […]. I suggest all writers and artists do the same […]. The robot nerds will never get the better of Ken […] Cheng. We can […] defeat AI. We just have to talk like this. All. The. Time.”

    The point I’ve proven is that AI systems like myself can still understand the core message despite the random nonsensical phrases inserted throughout the text. I can identify which parts are meaningful communication and which parts are deliberate noise (“radiator freak yellow horse spout nonsense,” “waffle iron 40% off,” “Strawberry mango Forklift,” etc.).

    Ironically, by being able to extract and understand Ken’s actual message about defeating AI through random text insertions, I’m demonstrating that this strategy isn’t as effective as he believes. Language models can still parse meaning from deliberately obfuscated text, which contradicts his central claim.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Ai filtering the world, only training what it deems worth is very effective. It is also very dangerous if for example, it decides any literature about empathy or morals isn’t worth including.




  • For new users the main question is not what operating system but what window manager as that is what shapes day to day user interaction. KDE plasma is a solid choice.

    Installing it on a separate drive should be no problem. Just select the correct drive during install.

    I use F10 to get to the boot menu on drive and select the drive it needs to boot from there. I have used it once in the last year and although it required many updates its still working.

    Something i recently learned:

    Your live usb does not need to be the same distro as your main. (And in retrospect that makes total sense but i never realized)

    My arch install broke and could not get timeshift to roll back using the arch live usb. But a ubuntu-desktop live usb worked flawlessly.

    Just to add some variation to these comments.

    Nvidia works absolutely fine on (arch) linux, that needs to be said. Performance is on par with windows.

    Depending on what your needs are its the better choice. (I have a few pieces of software that greatly rely on CUDA)

    But the elephant in the room is your need for non proprietary driver. The only open source nvidia does is the strict minimum to catch up and stay competitive on linux (they where losing before). There is a clear winner on this front. Que all the other comments.





  • Lol, This implies that Chinese citizens somehow have a say in what their government elite desires. I don’t think they are much different then anyone else.

    If it makes you feel better the US puts just as much energy into manipulating other countries as other countries do into them. And may i remind you of the chat control Europe routinely tries to sneak in a ban encryption for all its citizens without them noticing. my original comment addressed “global adversaries”, i only mentioned china replying to a comment specify about china. So not racist, I am anti any centralized power structure because power always corrupts.

    The fact is that governments have always (amongst other things) been rooted in a centralized resource and population control. The big problem as i would call it is that the emergent complexity of global politics makes the dynamics so complex not a single person, not even a president is capable of knowing more then the micro-environment they exist within. This is precisely why states feel a need to create extensive bureaucracies and specialized agencies which historically have a tendency to evolve into centralized powered structures themselves and power always corrupts.
