Does he know that he has autism? Because that's the most autistic thing I've heard and I don't even mean that derogatory

Weird question, but March/Early April seasons is Birthday season in my family, a lot of family members were born around that time and, who loves to bake, bake three to four special cakes for certain family members... Including myself.

As such, because I'm currently writing down recipes and ingredients for this year's cakes, what are your rules when it comes to Birthday cakes? Specifically, do you allow other people to eat your cake?

Personally no. I do not. This is because, as I've mentioned before, I suffered from intense bullying and one of more things under physical and emotional assault, homophobia, ableism, immolation, forced gladiatorial combat etc was being bullied out of the Birthday cake my mother used to make for me (also seeing my mother also getting the same treatment from her "friends" on her birthday); so once I started my making on Birthday cake, I made it a very hard rule that NO ONE else gets to eat it but me. Same with the cakes I bake for others like my mother, she's the only one to get to eat that cake made specially for her.

On the other side, I also won't eat, even if offered a slice of anyone else's cake, it's there birthday, let them enjoy their own damn cake!

What.

WTF how this happens?

He probably knows, but he probably thinks is quirky and not an untreated illness.

Apparently his mother also had to engage in forced gladitorial combat.

I have heard that the only thing that could be argued to be a good decision in ep9 was that kylo doesn't say another word after being redeemed or whatever

like the only small amount of enjoyment you can wring from that film is at least the moment he kinda shrugs at his adversaries when he materializes a saber out of thin air (which is still ridiculously stupid)

Wait, what? My eyes were rolling so hard by that stage I was actively disengaged from watching. He materialised a lightsabre using the force? WTF? This shit is even more ridiculous that even I thought.

see rey and kylo are linked by the force, remember the part where kylo grabbed something from rey and was like "oh she's here on this desert planet, let's get her," well they leveraged that at the end where palpatine was trying to get rey to strike him down but instead she pulled a fakeout and passed her lightsaber to kylo instead



https://youtu.be/JTpkI-5XZuc?t=241

Actually, no. I don't remember shit because I've consciously erased most of it from my memory except the strong sense that I witnessed something so bad that it will actually kill something I loved since I was 5.

I don't wanna talk about it any more. I'll be in the corner not crying.

Part of the problem is leftist purity testing.

Another part though, is the liberals insistence that we not be too "inflammatory". Which translates in this case to the same feckless bullshit they've been doing since Clinton.

Almost like there is a middle ground to pursue. 

"The problem is that we insist on ideological purity or we turn on our own. We should also be MORE inflammatory."

How did this approach not appeal to a broad cross section of society?

What do they even mean by immolation? Immolation means being burnt as a sacrificial offering…

I've been laughing for like 20 seconds straight at this.

I've never seen it. As far as I'm concerned, anything with Nicholas Cage in it is unwatchable. He's one of the worst actors ever. He's basically what Tommy Wiseau would be if he had connections and nepotism.

How could anyone say that about the star of this film



Not to mention his Oscar

Not to mention this scene from Bad Lieutenant

West coast of Scotland. Forced gladitorial combat.

I mean, eventually the ouroboros will feed itself so many times that the only thing to come out of it will be lifeless conformity. It's self-poisoning.

Yes, I agree!  But what if it's not lifeless conformity?  What if it produces novel and interesting art?   And what if it's so novel and interesting that you can't tell the difference between it and a real artist's work?  Then we have a real problem on our hands, don't we.  I'll just defer to the conventional wisdom of when I tried to have sex with that girl at the bar, and I realized it was a trans chick, and you told me it was transphobic to reject her when I was attracted to "her" this whole time before I found out she was born a dude.  My perception prior to that knowing is all that matters.  AI art is actually equally as valuable and noteworthy as human art as long as I can't tell the difference.  Ladies and gentlemen of the so called jury, the defense rests.

 

jesus christ it's a greatest hits in that thread

I know it isn't exactly new, but I saw this video about artists fighting back against generative AI models, using software called Nightshade which kind of "tricks" the AI into learning unpredictable behaviors. Not sure how effective it has been or can be, but I find it pretty fascinating, and I wonder if similar ideas can be implemented beyond just the art world.

the creators of nightshade claim it is only designed to be effective when it comes to training a base model, and doesn't protect against style transfer, img2img, or lora training, so in other words it's unfalsifiable unless you have tens of thousands of dollars lying around to train a base model on nightshaded images

oh also it would take thousands of nightshaded images to have any effect and it was designed against models and training principles from the stable diffusion 1.5 generation which is ancient history by now, it would probably do nothing against anything XL or newer, especially with all the other methods and models in use now

On top of these efforts, they're kind of doing this to themselves by feeding AI generated content into the models which makes them worse because the errors add up fast

I mean, eventually the ouroboros will feed itself so many times that the only thing to come out of it will be lifeless conformity. It's self-poisoning.

if training AI on AI content wasn't beneficial then people wouldn't do it...you test it out, you see what the results are like, if it's better than before you move forward, if not then you try again

model collapse is a myth propagated by bad research that failed to account for how the human-curated way that people actually train models, if a new model isn't an improvement then no one will use it

https://youtu.be/NEDFUjqA1s8?t=0

the person who put out this video admits in the same video that these methods do nothing against just feeding the audio of the video into an audio-to-text generator, so the whole exercise is pointless (and would take a lot of effort for creators to seriously do this stuff for every single video they make)

If you res a website you can install Iocaine to make an infinite maze of garbage for AI web scrapers. I did it, it wasn't too hard and it's not resource intensive on the server.

this problem was solved forever ago by every decent scraper in existence, it's very visible when/if a scraper has spent too much time parsing a single site and needs to move on

A little unrelated. But does it frustrate anyone else that we're taught about Luddites as if they were a fringe anti-tech cult in the way of progress, when in actuality they were a labor movement advocating for the livelihoods of the people being replaced by technology?

no, this is a modern marxist reframing of their movement, they really were "ug ugg machine bad" loom smashers without any concept that there was a "class war" at the time and you can read their writings to see this plainly

like efforts to claim that ackchewally trans people invented protesting and shyt, or the sudden elevation of yasuke based on like 12 sentences that mention him historically

I think you can be more inflammatory or aggressive politically without being a leftard or an AOC.

Obviously, what ERA usually means is that they want a Leftist Trump, a populist that appeals to them rather than someone that can compromise with the other side.

You usually eat what you “bited”. You are eating more cake than everyone else if the bite is big.

Over cake?

[Boredfrom]

I feel it's a bit different when I'm then baking them all their own full sized cakes for themselves on their Birthday before and after my Birthday in like 2-3 week period.

Again I'm not scoffing down a giant cake in front of everyone (again this like 5 people) and everyone is already getting a ton I've a made and baked for them, From Pizza, Hash Browns, Ice Cream, Cookies etc.

Dude overcompensates so hard. All this for 5 people?

[Boredfrom]

I'm honestly surprised this has offended people. No one I know is bothered by me eating my own cake, mostly because they know their getting a big special cake for themselves and are already stuffed with the rest of the food I've made for them. I'm really not liking being called a bullied or greedy when I go out of my way with my cakes to make the closest people in my life happy, it's why go out of my way to figure out their favourite flavours, toppings or things to make the cakes personal and meaningful. I work my arse off every spring to make sure everyone is as happy as possible.

I just reread the forced gladiatorial combat bit again and I’m now laughing so hard whilst in bed I’m not going to be able to sleep, and if I do, I just know gladiatorial combat will be in my dreams, hopefully it’s some lovely sapphic wlw type gladiatorial combat.
