People who adore humanity, that by design has no concern for truth, must have no concern for truth.
Just like we each build upon the knowledge around us, so does LLM. It's vulnerable to misinformation just like humanity, in general, is. Can't condemn it without condemning ourselves.

No sources cited for anyone to be able to confirm. This ugly ass little pic could have easily had the two columns switched just to get clicks. Or outright fabricated altogether.

Though the journeys may be funded by those seeking wealth, most technological frontiers are discovered and mapped by the well-intentioned, creative explorers. And immediately on their heels come the fat cats seeking to monetize every single thing they can.

The goal is market dominance. No easier way to ensure that than to control as many influence points of market activity as possible.

I mean... she was with Neelix from the start. I think the idea was always that it'd be Tom *after* Neelix. Might have played out that way if she didn't get written out. Not that her limited lifespan offered much wiggle room on the timing...

I do. The market was changing and it was harder for the SG1's and SGA's to gain viewers. Meanwhile BSG did well, so SGU followed more of that model and pissed off a lot of Stargate fans.
SGU kind of got the DS9 treatment. Its popularity grew later but by then it lost the traction the studio wanted.

And all they need is time. Eventually they'll wipe us out in favor of automated servants while they chill in floating Elysium, their every desire catered to.

I wouldn't rank it super high on my list, but it definitely left a mark. I still remember when it was released and what a big deal it was to have animated characters interacting with live-action like that.
And the animated big bad was nightmare fuel. Which I suppose was the point.

Convicted, actively-serving felon. Why does she even have a right to the 5th Amendment right now?

I hope she does. With Trump's popularity in decline and her seemingly having a purer MAGA message than Trump can now claim, she could be the key to a MAGA civil war that finally drops the movement (and maybe even the GOP) rightfully into the shit-filled toilet.

My god. When I first saw the character it took me a while to see it, but now it's all I can see.

And still irrelevant. The quality or method of creating the "thing" doesn't change the fact that it remains a tool for creating that "thing". Strict vs. loose interpretation is an inconsequential distinction.

Because gen AI is easier than even opening up a graphics program now. AND it can give you several options to choose from. Assuming you even HAVE a graphics program.
Yeah, artists get fucked over. But it's irrational to argue against the simplicity and speed of gen AI. Especially for non-artists.

You know what else interprets? Programming language interpreters. Whether you're providing strict syntax or natural language, you have a piece of software interpreting your intentions and making something happen.
You continue to rely on distinctions with no real differences.

Fuck her. She doesn't deserve forgiveness or sanctuary after her complicity in creating the environment that's now ostracized her. She should use her remaining influence to fracture MAGA and selflessly seek redemption, knowing full well she'll never earn it from us. It's between her and history now.

Generative AI, by its very definition, produces something new based on referencing characteristics of existing works. If all it's doing is slapping someone else's work on the screen verbatim, it's not generative AI.
And even humans produce new things based on existing works. That's how it works.

Just like you need zero knowledge to use a calculator. You don't even need to know how to do addition. You give it instructions, it produces what you want. Same with Python code. Same with AI prompts. AI's just a hell of a lot stronger due to its natural language interpretation and information pool.

I seriously want to know what her imagined endgame is here. She obviously knew exactly what she was doing the entire time. She wasn't just duped into the cult or manipulated into being disgusting. If she's expecting to find sanctuary among the victims of "toxic politics", she's delusional.

Throw up a Google AI's response that's plagiarized as proof. Doubt you can, because actual plagiarism -- as any rational person would label it -- is very rare. So now you're whipping up strawmen and red herrings.

And AI isn't gonna do anything if you don't tell it do something *with a line of text*. You're desperately trying to insert a distinction with real no conceptual difference. The only thing that's changed is the level of knowledge needed to produce something.
You must really hate calculators.

Of course it does. Python translates the code to what machines use at runtime. It's not even a compiled language, for crying out loud. It straight up replaces the need to write binary or interface directly with hardware.
