square knots are for joining two pieces of string.

yeah and the artefacts are in the shape of the deepdream dog faces

it still is, which is why shit like this is so crazy because it happens a lot.

the model keeps basically nothing of the original image, less than a single bit per work it ingests on (the LAION-B dataset is almost 6 billion images, most models have more than double the input data, the models are 5-6 GB, and each image is 1024x1024 pixels), so the image can’t be in there. and yet most of these models can manage to stitch together their input data almost perfectly. it’s like the model splits images into their constituent parts and builds them back the same.

from a technical standpoint it’s amazingly unlikely. from a human perspective it’s scummy. from a legal perspective it’s 100% plagiarism.

remember when sms didn’t auto-stitch? those were the days

judging by the other comics by this artist, it seems to be absurdist humor.

well have i got news for you

oh bad, naughty, wicked zoot

is quick at patching and apologising for some of them

paragraph five of the linked wikipedia section

now? he’s been sucking for years. there’s a reason minecraft is credited to hatsune miku.

spain uses fossil fuels from lebanon. you’re talking about germany.

i’m sorry but the way you phrase yourself makes me uncomfortable. i don’t want to continue this.

…but europe has never been a us gas or oil importer. that’s just not a market.

it’s like a much worse repeat of when he called up the prime minister of sweden to post bail for asap rocky, and the prime minister of sweden had to explain to him that not only do we not have a bail system because that’s an absurd idea, the courts are not a political organ and so the prime minister can not ask them to do anything.

why would you take the least charitable interpretation? there is no need to be hostile.

and the answer, of course, is that it can be, as long as the information copied is meaningful for displaying to the user.
you’re basically asking the equivalent of whether putting things into an array is an algorithm, which of course has the answer “it can be, depending on how you put it in”. so basically, the operation you’re highlighting is not the point.

…how would spain even by us energy?

hey man, it’s not my fault i get stuck on test automation all the time

the reason stated in the report was that base load failed to correct. it was a novel failure case, but very much related to a grid with intermittent power tacked on.

of course there is no technical reason it wouldn’t work, but we are in the real world, where technical solutions are not implemented in a vacuum. the grid is yet to be completely retooled for intermittent wave-following sources, and accidents like this are how we figure out what not to do.

also “us disinformation pigfuckers”? really? the us has a vendetta against spain now?

yeah except it still doesn’t seem to work for mozilla…

but the word “you” in the sentence means the rest of the sentence is from the first person perspective.
