Daniel Coopercontre l'esthétique IA, je veux ramener à l'ordre du jour l'esthétique collage.
les gens sont en mode "c'est la démocratisation de l'art".
Mais ces gens pratiquaient-ils le collage avant l'IA ? non.
Or, le collage, c'est LA forme d'art accessible par excellence. Surtout sur ordinateur, il vous suffit d'avoir GIMP et Google Image.
Je vous invite donc à flooder internet avec des collages.
(voyez en image, les propositions d'illustration de mon groupe de musique pour une Profile Picture de reseaux sociaux. Une des dizaines d'illustrations IA proposé par les autres[raciste et grossophobe à mon encontre mais bon], et l'illustration que j'ai faite en 30min)
OccasionalDucksWhile this is almost bound to be nonsense hype, it is far more certain that government’s response will be “more AI to fight the AI because AI! Make everyone have/use AI all the time!”… rather than, say, maintaining real-world resilience that enables continued function regardless of AI or other interference.
See also my past posts on keeping “legacy” systems that are more reliable in extremis such as normal telephones, analogue radio broadcasting, flood sirens…
Noodlemaz@karenpageinternationa I know it's not just me so might be worth bearing in mind - I will never purchase a book whose author uses #genAI for the cover.
There are so many alternatives. Not least getting a graphic designer... There are free images all over the Web. Even a quick sketch on a solid colour background, or just the text, would be more appealing.
Lol.
Called out @ [email protected] for posting genAI slop and claiming it's their art.
They tooted at me 'Kind of like your profile picture!'
Actually no.
It's a ~decade-old screenshot from a game I play (Destiny 2) with an old photo filter over it. Get lost.
Also, blocked me or something so I can't respond directly to it.

Lea Rosema"These concerns are not superficial, they are fundamental. The semantics of the world cannot be captured with purely abstract symbols unless the environment is highly constrained."

(from "Limits to Verification and Validation of Agentic Behavior" , a paper from 2018 by David J. Jilk)
"If the agent gains reward through killing a human, it will find a method that does not violate its fixed set of rules. If, in contrast, we attempt to characterize the action abstractly, such as “do not be the cause of a human’s death,” then we have deferred the problem to the word “cause,” which is fraught with other difficulties, such as assignment of responsibility or risk."

#NoToAI
"Take for example a system that has the mandate “never kill a human” expressed in some logical form. Let us stipulate that the system is able to distinguish humans from non-humans successfully. What does it mean to “kill”? The semantics must be elaborated in some sort of model within the agent. Suppose that such a model elaborates various methods of killing and their associated instruments, such as weapons or poisons. We can be confident that such a taxonomy can never be complete."
