Interesting point by @eryk.bsky.social on how LLM use language. Do they operate on: ”reliable language habits rather than [on] thought or observations”?

Eryk Salvaggio @eryk.bsky.social · 1d

On setting boundaries and defining refusal of AI, and the imagination of LLMs as wedding-crashers of the social sphere.

So not calling for murder of your people is already an achievement for a president? The question here is what kind of regulation would fit this case without being partisan or restricting satire. IMO ending Liability Protection for Social Media platforms would be a good start.

Sind an dem Mann die letzten Jahre vorbeigegangen? Was Leute wie Trump, Kirk und andere Populisten öffentlich sagen, wirkt mir nicht als gäbe es ein Redeverbot. Oder meint Herr Precht, dass es problematisch ist, dass man inzwischen als deklarierter Antifaschist kein Visum für die USA mehr bekommt?

From knowledge as common good to knowledge industry: Hello Silicon Valley ideology! Would not be surprised if this is a strategically planned and intended development.

Thanks for your take on this! Will further observe, let's see if this is just another buzz word.

What do you think of SEALs @eryk.bsky.social ?
Is this the beginning of LLMs to have something like instrumental reason or just another data feedback loop?

Love these! Any idea how these came into the world? Corrupted attachment? Compiled code without header? Love for the dada movement?

Thanks for sharing @bildoperationen.bsky.social and thank you for these words @eryk.bsky.social. We all strive to find this "distinction", and this text helps to imagine where we are heading.

Der Vorwurf, dass Kirk's Tod gefeiert wurde, übersieht, dass es nur wenige, einzelne Meinungen waren, die dann massenhaft medial verbreitet wurden. Diese massenhafte Verbreitung als Referenz zu nehmen um die Größe des sozialen Problems zu bemessen zeugt von (bewusster) Naivität.

What an honor! I am more than excited about this great opportunity! Thank you @objktlabs 🖤🖤🖤

Anybody against fascism who goes by the definition anti-facist is now involved or supports terrorism. People on the left got radicalized by this executive order.

"It appears from the data we’ve accumulated that this [intent to kill] ideology had infected him and had taken over," Bongino said. www.foxnews.com/us/charlie-k... (2/2)

Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin 'taken over' by leftist ideology while FBI probes wider plot: Bongino

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reveals investigators are probing whether Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin acted alone in the "ideologically motivated" attack.

Fox News erfindet mittels Headline.
Im Artikel steht nichts von "linker" Ideologie, sondern nur möglicherweise ideologisch motiviert. Aber wer liest schon mehr als die Headline? Der Nius offenbar nicht. (1/2)

3/ A.I. tools like realtime stabilization of head and eye movements transform the picture even further, however there is still a grain of authentic behavior in such videos. Quite in contrast to the use of an avatar, which could be operated completely without the person's participation.

georg_eckmayr @georgeckmayr.bsky.social · Sep 11

2/ Upscaling, auto lightning or artifacts removal often give a video already a weird feel, since they do not filer visual information but recreate the whole picture.

georg_eckmayr @georgeckmayr.bsky.social · Sep 11

1/ The question here and especially in future will be what kind of machine learning process was used? And which ones are legitimate? I see similarities to the debates around the use of image retouch with software a decade ago.
