I actually found someone named Xtal twerking on TikTok. Sadly not to AFX.

Melania Trump is dead

On the inside maybe? Or replaced by a clone or android?

My random thought.. So generally it's considered cheating if you write something on your body for an exam. Like equations on your palm or whatever. But people have equations as tattoos. There's probably thousands of tattoos of E=mc^2 and Euler's identity. So would a tattooed equation count as cheating? 🤔

I saw some guy with an Autechre t-shirt last Sunday in Helsinki and now I'm wondering who of you guys it was..

Do they regularly test the "I'm not a robot" Captcha images on present-day AI? How do they establish the validity of these tests amid the current AI evolution? Are we sure AI isn't just as good at identifying motorcycles as we are at this point?

the undisclosed Epstein's client list will continue to be the tool of extortion and character assassination upon the need of the 'stakeholders'. Individuals on that list will be singled out as the listed clients only when the establishment will want to get rid of them.

today on the bus home, at night, I saw this guy slurping on what I assume was a milkshake, while staring at an LCD panel in a store window that was displaying the american flag for some reason. It felt a lot like an NPC, but it was also kind of profound, maybe the guy was just having a really good time zoning out with his milkshake

bolivian military catches president luis arce lacking and attempts a coup d'etat

https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/bolivias-president-slams-irregular-mobilization-army-units-2024-06-26/

apparently, simon bolivar said on his death bed.. "All who have served the Revolution have plowed the sea." 

Quote

 

According to history books, tuberculosis was responsible for the death of Simon Bolivar at the age of 47 years in 1830. The results of an autopsy performed by Alexandre Prospère Révérend, the French physician who cared for him during the terminal phase of his illness, have long been regarded as proof of the diagnosis. On careful reanalysis of Bolivar's medical history and post mortem examination, we reach a different conclusion. On the basis of several critical clinical, epidemiological, and pathological features of his fatal disorder, we conclude that either paracoccidioidomycosis or bacterial bronchiectasis complicating chronic arsenic intoxication was more likely responsible for his death than was tuberculous “consumption.”

Apparently they already are. https://qz.com/ai-bots-recaptcha-turing-test-websites-authenticity-1850734350

I also heard a while ago somewhere that captcha was used to train certain LLM. I can't recall who said that though.. all this AI stuff just blends into one another for me.

Google has been using human input from reCaptcha to train AI at least since 2012. The hilarious part is that now that AI is being used to bypass the captchas it's creating a feedback loop that undermines the whole system because it just reinforces the mistakes the AI makes.

The same thing happens with other AIs that just scrape the internet for images and whatnot. All the AI mistakes made in generated content are reused to teach other AI models. And it just get worse and worse when more and more AI generated content is getting put out on the net.

My native language is not English, so I often mishear lyrics and especially when I was younger it happened all the time. So I thought that when Michael Jackson's "Wanna be startin something" gets to the post-chorus and I hear repeatedly "you're a vegetable" I'm just mishearing the lyrics. Turns out those are the actual lyrics. Wtf
