Post WW2 America has dragged us into far more conflict than we should have been part of. I think the only conflict the UK has entered of it’s own accord is the Falklands war. Other than that it’s been UN peacekeeping forces, NATO operations, or (and these are the problem ones) trying to make US operations not look unilateral (e.g. Iraq 1 & 2).

They’ve also made sure all our innovation goes to them first.

Now I’m sure there have been benefits to having the US in our corner, but I think we’ve been exploited in a lot of ways for the sake of the “special relationship”.

US Gov: “…errrm”

I heard that Kubrick was such a perfectionist, he insisted they shot on location.

I think, at best, it shows that the observations are consistent with the model, or to take it back to the blurry low light photo… The photo wasn’t obviously not Trump.

I remember reading the original paper at the time and thinking, if I had been a reviewer I’d have wanted clear acknowledgement of the confirmation bias danger in the methodology. Ideally some sort of quantification of risk. It just seemed like too large a flaw to just be glossed over.

@Tamo240@programming.dev and yourself.

Having triggered this conversation off, I’ll just congratulate you both on a quality discussion. I’ll admit I used loose terminology in my original post, but that was mainly to get my point across to a general audience. The specificity you both went to is laudable.

I don’t mean LLM. I mean a specific ML model for the job, but still trained off simulations.

Not a photo.

It’s the output of an AI model trained on simulations of black holes being asked to fill in the gaps from sparse observations.

2020s. Starts with COVID and gets worse

Is that down to anti-cheat software?

Indeed. COVID showed that the populace would defer to the government and do as they were told. Before lockdown there was a general feeling that only a country like China could lockdown it’s population. In the west, freedom and liberty were too precious.

And then they went and locked us down showing the government had far more power than it realised.

It was only really Gene Simmons that gave that vibe. I mean, ones a cat and another has a star.

Is normally unknown due to not knowing the person though. Using “they” with someone known to you feels rude. As if you’re saying “I don’t include Grace in my circle, so I use “they” to keep them distant”.

It really sticks in the throat.

“you” isn’t a pronoun at all.

At that price you’re going intel.

It’s a long time since I watched it. I’m wondering what meaning you found in Zardos except…

I’m just not sure the two use cases meld very well. Mastodon tends to be “reply and fly”, whereas Lemmy can get into discussions.

I don’t know why that is. Maybe it’s the twitter character limit that’s been baked into people even though it’s not a thing on mastodon (might depend on instance).

Can we agree it’s not orange? That is what I was originally pointing out.

White light is light that contains all visible wavelengths at the roughly the same proportions.

The key word there is “visible”. Our eyes adapted to the spectra of our star when filtered by our atmosphere. We perceive that spectra as white.

The sun is, by definition, white. White is what we call it when an object reflects all spectra of sunlight.

It’s only at sunrise / sunset when the atmosphere filters out more of the blue spectrum that it apparently turns more orange/red.

The political bias of AI will be set by those tuning the models. Now mix in a bunch of voters asking LLMs who they should vote for, because people will outsource their thinking any chance they get. The result is model owners being able to sway elections with very little effort.
