Image manipulation has always been a thing, and there are ways to counter it…

But we already know that a shocking amount of people will simply take what they see at face value, even if it does look suspicious. The volume of AI generated misinformation online is already too damn high, without it getting more new strings in it’s bow.

Governments don’t seem to be anywhere near on top of keeping up with these AI developments either, so by the time the law starts accounting for all of this, the damage will be long done already.

Wow a Republican with a spine, I didn’t think those existed anymore

As far as the companies go, their lack of resources is an entirely self-inflicted problem, because they’re won’t invest in increasing those resources, like more IT infrastructure and staff. It’s the same as many companies that keep terrible backups of their data (if any) when they’re not bound to by the law, because they simply don’t want to pay for it, even though it could very well save them from ruin.

The crowdstrike incident was as bad as it was exactly because loads of companies had their eggs in one basket. Those that didn’t recovered much quicker. Redundancy is the lesson to take from this that none of them will learn.

I think what @riskable@programming.dev was saying is you shouldn’t have multiple mission critical systems all using the same 3rd party services. Have a mix of at least two, so if one 3rd party service goes down not everything goes down with it

Elon Musk openly flouting the rules of the platform he owns to knowingly share misinformation to disparage a woman he doesn’t like…

Tell me Elon is a right wing shill without telling me he’s a right-wing shill

To be fair to the developers, they do elaborate a little further in the comments:

Hey everyone, We appreciate the sudden enthusiasm for our game. When we launched it in 2015 into early access and 2016 into full, we were at the vanguard of asymmetrical games. It was exciting, but it was also our first step down the Dunning Kruger curve. QL has bugs that we cannot fix, shaky net code and overall sloppy design. We left the game up for this long so that players who had friends that wanted to play, could still get a copy. However it has been 9 years with minimal to no activity. So we felt it was right to remove it now.

I don’t know enough about this game or it’s community to comment much, but the devs don’t seem to be bad guys - seems like a story of naive developers making a mistake, but doing their best for their community with what they had. For a niche online game with no DLCs, 9 years is hardly a bad run.

Whelp, anyone who took bets on him acting like a war hero over this can now go collect your winnings - which is just more listening to Trump unfortunately.

To be fair you could call this “search optimisation” and the people on Linkedin would eat this up

Because that’s comparing oranges to apples.

In terms of pure image quality, real objects would win every time because they only have to be filtered by our eyes - digital images are filtered through the GPU and screen before ever reaching our eyes.

As such, the real contest is the ability of displays to make digital images look comparable to those real objects - because that’s harder to do vs. ust looking at the real life object, it’s more impressive to us.

Makes you wonder how long it’ll be until even the worst AI images are indistinguishable from human-produced images

It’s sad that asking NATO Governments to not be fucking hypocrites regarding international law is something applause-worthy now

Who knew all you needed to make yourself above the law was appoint your own judges… The level of corruption going on in front of our eyes is astounding, they’re barely even trying to hide it at this point.

The goals of the war being?..

Oh right, the destruction of every non-Israeli living in Gaza.

• Why else would they go after Hospitals treating innocent Palestinian victims?

• Why else would they spend months and months denying any and all foreign aid to Gaza after cutting them off from all food, water, and electricity?

• Why else would they airstrike clearly marked aid convoys for Gaza going along a pre-agreed route?

• Why else would members of the IDF record thselves killing innocent Palestinians?

• Why else would they oppose any and all peace deals, and openly plot to betray any and all ceasefires?

Israel has killed more than 30,000 innocent people. You can’t just call that collateral or even callous disregard, it’s mass murder, a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Hamas are not good guys by any stretch, but if you’re being morally high-grounded by a terrorist organisation, then you ought to know which side of history you’re on.

Edit: Israeli not Israelite

FTFY

No, but it’s on a similar scale as far as Boeing is concerned.

Exactly. This is like if you charged the average person $1 for causing a major motorway accident.

It’s a joke of a fine in the face of Boeing’s profits - basically telling them they can get away with severe and wreckless disregard for human life in return for just over a week’s profits.

Tell you what it certainly is a “special” military operation considering that it’s taken over a year, and at this point requires conscription… An awful lot like if Russia had started a war

So providing a fine-tuned model shouldn’t either.

I didn’t mean in terms of providing. I meant that if someone provided a base model, someone took that and but on of it, then used it for a harmful purpose - of course the person modified it should be liable, not the base provider.

It’s like if someone took a version of Linux, modified it, then used that modified version for a similar person - you wouldn’t go after the person who made the unmodified version.

SB 1047 is a California state bill that would make large AI model providers – such as Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Mistral – liable for the potentially catastrophic dangers of their AI systems.

Now this sounds like a complicated debate - but it seems to me like everyone against this bill are people who would benefit monetarily from not having to deal with the safety aspect of AI, and that does sound suspicious to me.

Another technical piece of this bill relates to open-source AI models. […] There’s a caveat that if a developer spends more than 25% of the cost to train Llama 3 on fine-tuning, that developer is now responsible. That said, opponents of the bill still find this unfair and not the right approach.

In regards to the open source models, while it makes sense that if a developer takes the model and does a significant portion of the fine tuning, they should be liable for the result of that…

But should the main developer still be liable if a bad actor does less than 25% fine tuning and uses exploits in the base model?

One could argue that developers should be trying to examine their black-boxes for vunerabilities, rather than shrugging and saying it can’t be done then demanding they not be held liable.

When you’re calling a terrorist organisation your ally, surely you’ve got to realise what side of history you’re on right?

I mean Putin probably does, but he doesn’t care as long as he gets to be king president
