That’s not true, not even in science. Science has strong gatekeeping and moderation in the form of peer review. You can’t just publish any old shite.

And we’ve seen what happens to online spaces when you get rid of gatekeeping and moderation. You get 8chan. You get the Christchurch shooting.

You don’t really believe that, do you?

What is this website?

Yeah, thats fair, as a means of playing doom this is maybe as bad as it gets. But it was a research paper. It’s not really being proposed as a game engine, it’s just a dumb demo of what you can do by prompting a finetuned diffusion model with user inputs. As it stands the paper is reasonably interesting. Especially the need for noise injections. I feel like people are giving the researchers a lot of hate just because Elon retweeted it, and he’s lame.

Why?

People are being super weird about this paper. People who’s income depends on AI hype are saying that “in the future all games will run on neural networks”, which is retarded. And people who hate AI hype are complaining about the energy use, and saying it’s pointless and unimpressive. And like… I guess we should all stop doing anything with computers that doesn’t directly contribute to curing cancer or something.

If they don’t get voted out then what happens?

Currently it’s just a Lemmy client. It’ll be cool to watch the development, but at present I don’t see how it’s any better than voyager. At least on mobile the interface has a lot more dead space than voyager.

Looks like aliasing.

So there are police visible walking around sometimes,

Security checkpoints at the entrances to densely packed areas,

And one time a hotel had to phone the local police to ask if they could accept foreign guests.

The horror.

Daily carry threads in a tailspin

That sounds extremely online

But at what cost!?

The whole misinformation angle is bullshit. It’s such a lib mindset to think your enemies are just misinformed.

The majority of people at Jan 6 were business owners or upper management. They came from urban communities that had seen a decline in the white population. https://d3qi0qp55mx5f5.cloudfront.net/cpost/i/docs/Pape_AmericanInsurrectionistMovement_2022-01-02.pdf

Like every fascist movement Jan 6 was the petite bourgeois attempting to shut down democracy and install a dictator that would stop demographic changes and keep the current hierarchies unchanged despite the falling rate of profit and the resulting monopolisation / need for the growth of the working class.

But if you refuse to see it as a systemic, almost inevitable process, then you’re left thinking the Jan 6 people were just CraZzyYy. Maybe it’s that damn internet the kids are always on!

“…which is mainly male due to men because men…”

Truly one of our greatest minds.

Nothing says fun like catgacating

Shoot the Boer!

" Several of the researchers are associated with public security authorities in China, a fact that “voids any notion of free informed consent”, said Yves Moreau, a professor of engineering at the University of Leuven, in Belgium, who focuses on DNA analysis. Moreau first raised concerns about the papers with Hart, MGGM’s editor-in-chief, in March 2021.

One retracted paper studies the DNA of Tibetans in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, using blood samples collected from 120 individuals. The article stated that “all individuals provided written informed consent” and that work was approved by the Fudan University ethics committee.

But the retraction notice published on Monday stated that an ethical review “uncovered inconsistencies between the consent documentation and the research reported; the documentation was not sufficiently detailed to resolve the concerns raised”. "

Weird. So they had written consent forms for the blood samples, but the forms weren’t detailed enough(?), and anyway you can’t trust anyone associated with the Chinese gvmt? Is that what they’re saying?

This seems like weird reactionary virtue signalling.

Attention doesn’t pay 180k tho
