On 4chan, a long time ago, comments like these would invariably get the reply "not ur personal army" Think about that for a minute. 4chan would make fun of the comment you just made.

It might not mean much, and it won't lead to an interesting conversation, but here's one that has read your comment, and every single word resonated like a tuning fork. I find that a little faith goes a long way here: assume that

I usually hate this kind of click bait, but I think in this case it's warranted, since their explicit policy was to do this "while they are distracted". Verbatim.

I think the reason the pelican example is great is because it's bizarre enough that it's unlikely that to appear in the training as one unified picture. If we picked something more common, like say, a hot dog with toppings, then t

The answer is taste. I don't know if they will ever get there, but LLMs are a long ways away from having decent creative taste. Which means they are just another tool in the artist's toolbox, not a tool that will replace the artis

Not to mention strict limits on advertising of these products, licensing required to sell them, and very highly taxed. If that's not enough, in the US we created a federal level agency that oversees 3 things only. Two of those things a

I have to assume you have never worked on security cataloging of third party dependencies on a large code base. Because if you had, you would realize how ridiculous it is to state that app security can't be assessed until you have read
