Decline in food quality is ostensibly a decline in food security. But any sensible design would not use that as a threshold for defining food security. Rather than appealing to some unnamed source’s cherry picked definition, you would do be

You’re being presented with literal statistics on food insecurity and ignoring what you’re being told. Many people are both food insecure AND fat because food insecurity drives people to eat as much as they can because of the fear of being

More simply: people who grow up hungry learn to eat whenever they can because being hungry is awful It doesn’t even need to generalize. This is just a basic food security thing and is part of the reason why obesity is counter intuitively co

A lot of people provide negative value. Not net negative, in their work is less valuable than their salary, but actually negative value in that they just slow things down, waste resources, or prevent innovation for their own job security

No, it’s definitely the size. Tiny LLMs are shit. Stable Diffusion 3’s problem is not that that its training set was wildly different, it’s that it’s just too small (because the one released so far is not the full size). You can get better

Yeah but the AI in the games you like was good because it was fun, not because they were circle strafing or doing movement mechanics that are explicitly effective but not realistic. Doing these things would make those AI much less fun as we

“Human readable” is not a requirement. Visual programming code breaks down to some obtuse data structure. But with the right tools, it’s easy for humans to interact with it. Visual programming node workflows can be open sourced. ML models a

You probably don’t though. It’s actually really unfun to lose 50% of matches against an AI, or worse, because it doesn’t get tired or tilted or distracted. It’s much more fun to go against an AI that is dumber than you but generally more po

Model weights are functions. In the same way `lambda x: x > 0.25` is a function.

We don’t even want that. Human like AI in a game like this would be really annoying for that vast majority of players that absolutely suck. People who want to play against AI generally want something that’s really dumb.

ML weights ARE convenient for people to modify. You can go look at the dozens of modifications of diffusion models being produced, daily, on civit ai. It’s very easy.

Your analogy does not make sense. ML weights are distributed in binary form, like object code, but it is nothing like compiled binary. It’s just temporarily in binary form for convenience. It unpacks directly into its original form. This is

No it is not object code unless you want to get so stupidly pedantic that you want to argue a Python script in a zip file can’t be considered open source because it’s compressed. The model pickles unpack back to their original form. The pic

Binary is not the equivalent of models. Source code is the equivalent of models. It doesn’t matter if a machine generated source code or a human did for it to be open source code.

You absolutely can and people do all the time. There are mountains of forks and dissections and improvements on open source models.
