I’ll bring chairs and a blanket

May I join you on this hill?

Nah, it’s actually possible to see each version. There are actually three: white and gold, blue and black, blue and brown. It’s like those “magic eye puzzles”. It just kinda pops into place when it happens. Depending on the lighting in your room and what colors your eyes have recently been looking at, your eyes will see it differently. It has partly to do with how what you “see” is a hodgepodge of signals all being processed into one “image” and the way we process color.

You are correct tho, objectively the image is a specific RGB value and has a defined “color”. That whole divergence between what it is and what it appears to be is the very subject of all those research papers.

I believe one of the ways to easily defeat this trick is to put the dress on a person. The skin tone will act as a known reference point for the rest.

You’re a moron. First off, his name is Miazaki, and secondly, that quote is taken out of context. Do you just believe whatever you’re told to believe with no research? Looks like it.

And AI ethics? Are you fucking serious? Sure, the world is filled with slave labor and corruption and human trafficking and you’re over here defending copyright. The most capitalistic, corporate position you can take.

If you couldn’t copy someone else’s art style, 99% of Deviant Art wouldn’t even exist. Ffs, painting and sculpture are broken into various periods based on how everything was a certain vibe. Where do you think Surrealism, realism, cubism and other terms come from?

Hell, this meme was stolen from Fox/Seth MacFarlane. Did OP get permission to steal someone else’s art and plaster text on it? Literally the same ethics you claim to defend.

These posts really just come across as a bunch of bitter Art Institute graduates who can’t do shit with their “degree”.

I just find it rich that most of these memes are just made with a website that adds captions… “Hurr durr my 5 clicks are more valid than your 5 clicks”

Art is the idea and its expression. Bunch of pretentious snobs.

As much as I want to hate the researchers for this, how are you going to ethically test whether you can manipulate people without… manipulating people. And isn’t there an argument to be made for harm reduction? I mean, this stuff is already going on. Do we just ignore it or only test it in sanitized environments that won’t really apply to the real world?

I dunno, mostly just shooting the shit, but I think there is an argument to be made that this kind of research and it’s results are more valuable than the potential harm. Tho the way this particular research team went about it, including changing the study fundamentally without further approval, does pose problems.

Did that actually get confirmed? I saw that as well but it wasn’t confirmed as best as I can tell. RIP if true. Dude was a legend.

Exactly. It’s basically some “infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters” shit.

“Well if I had enough time eventually they will make a mistake and I’d get a point on a technicality so yeah, I could totally do it!”

This person remembers they have to serve too, right? And actually return the ball. They won’t win just standing there and praying.

You see, Serena Williams has a preset kill limit. Knowing her weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at her until she reached her limit and shut down.

My only issue is when apparently someone can choose that “they”, a gender neutral pronoun, doesn’t apply to someone. I saw it in a recent Elliot Page post. Someone was getting ripped to shreds for talking about Elliot and saying “they”. “No it’s him! You’re trying to minimize his identity!” was basically the response. But the person was talking about Elliots work pre and post transition and you could tell they were taking great care to not offend, and yet it was still offensive apparently. Which was then made even funnier when others chimed in to point out that Elliot specifically asks to be referred to as “They/Him”.

My whole point is that some people need to cool it when it comes to gender neutral pronouns. Lest we forget, “I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude, we’re all dudes!”

As for my ender: the quality control isn’t great. Sometimes you get a bad one and I think that was most of my issue. It had a nasty habit of diving straight into the heat bed. Might’ve been the autoleveler… I dunno. I just know I spent more time tinkering with the printer itself than actually printing. With my Bambus it really is “set it and forget it” for the most part.

As for the dino: Lots of bondo and glue, yes lol. I’ll see if I can find it later. It’s on makerworld and you can find it in the Bambu app as well if you search around. He mentioned how much faster it was to print the pieces on his Bambu vs his ender and with the multicolor support, I was sold. My X1C currently runs 2 AMS so I rarely have to swap colors out too.

Lol nah I feel you. If it makes you feel any better, I have an A1 and a X1C. Love them both. Had an Ender before and hated it. Some guy was printing a life sized T-Rex and his recommendation is what pushed me over the edge. Haven’t regretted it.

It does have a purpose. I found the name of it once, but it’s basically choice confirmation. When you buy something and then shortly after see lots of ads of other people who bought the same thing and are really happy with it/it appears popular, it confirms to you that you made the right choice and should make it again if given the chance. This kind of “confirmation after the fact” advertising is especially used in larger purchases like a car. It reinforces the choice you made in your mind so you feel more satisfied with the brand itself.

I never said bots were the problem. I said people caring more about popularity is the problem and that once you realize this it’s super easy to program bots to imitate people by up voting/down voting what you want. But yes, call me dense when you’ve misconstrued my argument from day one.

Edit: didn’t look like my previous comment posted so I rewrote it. Considering how dense you are tho, maybe two versions will help you finally understand, so I’ll just leave it.

Because I never said bots are to blame. People are and once you realize that, programming a bot to do what people can do is super easy.

I get offended when people try to tell me I made an argument I never made. But thanks again buddy 👍

Try reading the whole thing and comprehending it as a complex thought with nuance. I’ll wait. Might take you awhile but I’ll wait.
