Fuck billionaires, him included. A personal submarine bay is just baller as fuck, though.

Imbecilic moron idiot dumb stupid head - official government communications, apparently

All very good points. Now the brakes are off and the corps can just churn out generic crap at an even more aggressive rate. Who knows, maybe the onslaught will end up pushing more people away from corporate content in the end. Or it’ll kill small art creators more than companies already have. I’m choosing to have hope that enough people will make a conscious effort. Time will tell. Thanks for your thoughts!

Yeah man, were rapidly approaching a point where society is “post-evidence”. Seeing isn’t believing anymore and a very large chunk of our society is built on the idea of proving things with audio/photo/video based evidence. I fear that our systems aren’t protected against the volume and physical accuracy of what’s becoming increasingly arbitrary to generate at home and at scale.

The legal system has some standards for evidence, but public discourse certainly doesn’t.

Did you see the other thread on the threadaverse sub? Dude is having a full blown meltdown over people thinking that he was wrong.

Ahh, I see. Fred Flintstone has a family. I was close.

Or Fred Flinstone, or Flubber Film, or Freaky Friday. Lots of double Fs out there.

Half of these people are actively trying to help you with what is obviously a personality problem. Have you considered that everyone else isn’t the problem? Maybe you just need to stop being such a needy whiny bitch or fuck off back to 4chan with the other cringelords.

Holy shit you made another post rant crying about how people were mean to you because you are a bigot to homeless people? And you say that the mods are too sensitive?

If it wasn’t clear from everyone’s responses in the unpopular opinion thread: grow up and find some empathy, you’re acting like an emotionally immature man baby.

Lol fuck you, you’re just mad that you got called out on your opinion blaming homeless people for being homeless.

“I posted my unpopular opinion on an unpopular opinion sub and people didn’t all agree with me 👿👿👿”

Don’t post an unpopular opinion and then whine when it’s deemed unpopular.

I still think it’s problematic to be making money off of AI music due to the nature of how the systems are trained. I do think it’s significantly better when people are upfront about it in the way you describe. I have a huge problem with Spotify boosting it on their platform with no mention of the artist being AI anywhere, though.

Per the IAEA report on Chernobyl, page 4:

The control rods and the safety rods of an RBMK reactor are inserted into the reactor core from above, except for 24 shortened rods which are inserted upwards and which are used for flattening the power distribution. A graphite rod termed a 'displaced is attached to each end of the length of absorber of each rod, except for twelve rods that are used in automatic control. The lower displacer prevents coolant water from entering the space vacated as the rod is withdrawn, thus augmenting the reactivity worth of the rod. The graphite displacer of each rod of all RBMK reactors was, at the time of the accident, connected to its rod via a ‘telescope’, with a water filled space of 1.25 m separating the displacer and the absorbing rod (see Fig. 1). The dimensions of rod and displacer were such that when the rod was fully extracted the displacer sat centrally within the fuelled region of the core with 1.25 m of water at either end. On receipt of a scram signal causing a fully withdrawn rod to fall, the displacement of water from the lower part of the channel as the rod moved down- wards from its upper limit stop position caused a local insertion of positive reactivity in the lower part of the core. The magnitude of this ‘positive scram’ effect depended on the spatial distribution of the power density and the operating regime of the reactor.

In the US? Soylent green all the way. If we had any ability to constrain capitalism from destroying art for profit, AI wouldn’t essentially be a legal IP theft machine.

We thought it was bad when iheart took over all of the radio stations and the record labels started making bands to sell derivative music to the masses. AI is going to destroy any remaining ability for small artists to make profit off their work. It already has in quite a few spaces.

Philosophically, yes. One is created with intent, one is created to mimic intent. Human made works can challenge norms and explore entirely new ways of thinking about a subject. AI content is essentially trying to take everything relevant to a given prompt, blend it together, and give you something that meets your expectations.

Now as far as is it practically the same, that’s where things are going to start getting sticky. If an AI makes a piece of art that resonates with people the same way that a human created piece of art does, those feelings are just as genuine. There is no practical difference. We’re seeing that right now with AI generated music. Just this week an AI country song hit #1 on billboard. The people that enjoy that song enjoy it regardless of how it was made. Personally, I think that country is kind of a low hanging fruit since it has effectively been following the same formula for a couple of decades, but it’s a great proof of concept.

That is what some of the tech companies are doing. For situations like the one in the article, that obviously isn’t the case, since rates are going up. If the tech companies are building and maintaining their own infrastructure for their outsized power needs, rates should either stay the same or fall (assuming that the tech company builds capacity to handle peak loads during LLM training and sells capacity during non peak loads). Rates going up in response to new data centers can only mean that the other grid users are subsidizing new capacity being added or buying energy from elsewhere at a higher rate.

The AI said that graphite tips on the control rods was a great idea! Let’s get this low power test done for The Company, it’ll be great! Worst case scenario, we just hit the AZ5 button and harmlessly scram the reactor with no problems!

Ope, caught me! Thanks for the correction!

Another fine example of big business socializing the costs of the business while privatizing the profit. True fairness would make them pay for the cost of adding the additional capacity that they require, rather than jacking up everyone’s rates to pay it for them.

Billionaires and their enablers.
