I dunno, I mean are the train company allowed to take my money and then go “sorry we fell out with the fuel company so we’re just gonna keep your money and not take you to your destination. Soz babe x”

I think I watched the same one. I think the three seashells will revolutionise the bathroom experience.
This is as transparent as hell. It reminds me of a TV show where a bunch of idiots plot to murder someone so they decide that if they all pull the trigger together, none of them are “technically” the murderer. Of course, that just meant they were all culpable.
It’s only a few layers of abstraction above “we didn’t ban these books, we flipped a coin to decide whether to ban them and fate chose tails…”
Pathetic.
As Larry Tesler once said “AI is whatever hasn’t been done yet.”
TL;DR The new method still requires his art.
LoRA is a way to add additional layers to a neural network that effectively allow you to fine tune it’s behaviour. Think of it like a “plugin” or a “mod”
LoRas require examples of the thing you are targeting. Lots of people in the SD community build them for particular celebrities or art styles by collecting examples of the that celebrity or whatever from online.
So in this case Greg has asked Stable to remove his artwork which they have done but some third party has created an unofficial LoRA that does use his artwork to mod the functionality back in.
In the traditional world the rights holder would presumably DMCA the plugin but the lines are much blurrier with LoRA models.
Can’t wait to do absolutely naff all this weekend after an incredibly rammed week at work! Going into proper introvert mode and intend to avoid all outside life for the next 2 days.
Well this has been a refreshingly calm and civil exchange of opinions.
10/10 would recommend.
You can’t boycott the businesses that aren’t doing their part given that most businesses aren’t doing their part and the ones that are produce stuff that’s more expensive and/or less convenient.
Supply chains are also super complex these days and even the companies themselves don’t always report on them properly out of either incompetence or simple denial. That’s why every few years we get stories blowing up about tech firms using slave labour to build phones or food corporates ripping off third world farmers.
Working people are tired and worn down and poor and don’t have the mental capacity or even the capital to be able to micro evaluate every single purchase decision they make and think “hmm does this company or one of is hundreds of suppliers do their part for the climate?”
For some people it’s “I can afford to feed my kids if I use this cheap product from a company that does bad things or I can go without dinner this week if I only buy from ethical companies”
Strong top down regulation is the only practical way to make big companies behave.
Shrinkflation is so fucking patronising and misleading. I’d rather pay more for the same quantity than this nonsense.
Twitter rolled out a change requiring you to sign in to see any content at all so now even scraping won’t work (unless one were to set up lots of bot accounts and use them to scrape)
It seems to be back now. I think it runs on a small server and quite often gets hug of deathed
Joining the seemingly national rush to get washing done, hung out and dried before the rain sets in this afternoon. Off out for steak at one of the two restaurants my FIL will eat at later. At least the man knows what he likes.
Same but it was just the humidity paired with the neighbours kids making high pitched screeching noises like tropical birds!
Was chatting to a friend of mine last night who bought his dad a set of canvas prints of family pets over the years which is remarkably thoughtful and made me feel a bit shit about getting mine a moonpig card and a bottle of rum.
Recuperating from 2 days of masquerading as an extrovert with work colleagues in London by sitting alone in my home office and talking to noone. Might talk to my wife occasionally. Maybe the cats too, but they don’t talk back.
Monthly pupdates - that’s so cute I love it!
Wow the enshittification is at full throttle across silicon valley! Guess those investors gotta get those returns now that interest rates are spiking!
Yeah that makes sense! I totally agree! Search is becoming pretty difficult these days!
API calls are almost always private between the caller and the endpoint (think telegram bots or mobile apps). There isn’t really a technically feasible way for a crawler to somehow “infer” any kind of knowledge of how api calls are being used unless the result has some kind of publically visible side effect (E. G. The program using the api is generating a web page and uploading it somewhere crawlable). Google et Al go by how many links from other pages to the page of interest exist (inbound links) and multiply by a smattering of other things like quality of keywords, length of content etc.
That said, if you’re implying that the api changes mean that:
That is a plausible concern.
There have already been studies showing that this gradual swing to the right no longer holds for millennials.
The original premise that psychopathy affects a proportion of any population is true though.
