WhatsApp’s AI shows gun-wielding children when prompted with ‘Palestine’

By contrast, prompts for ‘Israeli’ do not generate images of people wielding guns, even in response to a prompt for ‘Israel army’

So what reality is this model reflecting then?

Why does it matter what the excuse is?

You shouldn't get a stereotype (or in this case I suppose propaganda?) when you give a neutral prompt.

Hey, at least it's a renewable source.

The unfair advantage argument definitely holds water, mouse and keyboard can be like a sports car racing against a bicycle. But if someone had the budget to tackle this issue through software, it would be Microsoft. So I'm inclined to agree that it's mostly just MS squeezing money out of third party manufacturers.

If they'd care only about the "unfair", they'd put a fair, almost free, price on the official license that covers the cost of testing or whatever. Truth presumably here is also a bit more complicated, maybe third party controllers could be easier to hack resulting in an ineffective licensing system, idk. But yeah smells like money for Microsoft and a loss for consumers.

I think it's the same problem Wes Anderson kinda suffers. They're trying to do their thing in the way their audience expects them to.

And I don't really think either is playing a caricature of themselves, there's real creativity at play. But the creative risks are mitigated by relying on their set style, which makes it safe to consume but often not that exciting. I find Dunkey's reviews usually pretty interesting, whether I agree with them or not. But this poetry felt closer to an ad than an honest review.

Never has the word "alleged" felt so meaningless.

Since Spotify can't even make a shuffle that works, I don't see how AI playlists would be any good either.

Tying NFT token to a physical object like a painting and keeping a database of who owns what seems potentially interesting. But why would you need it to be NFT based either, I don't know.

GaaS really fucks up basic game design. It's like they intentionally are aiming to squeeze as much as possible out of a lime when they could just aim for a watermelon.

No idea how much always online server structure costs but it can't be free. I wonder if the console manufacturers favor this type of game design as it brings them some cash in too.

Xorcle.

One question I have is that if two people use the same prompt, do they get the same result?

If they do, how could that result be copyrighted because I can just as well reproduce the prompt, making an original "copy".

If they don't produce the same result, well it's not the human that's really doing the "original" part there, which is what copyright aims to protect, right?

On the other hand if I write an original comic book story and use AI as a tool to create the pictures, that, in my opinion, could be worth copyright protection. But it's the same as just original story, it's not really the pictures that are protected.

(And let's not forget that AIs are mostly just fed stolen works, that needs to be solved first and foremost.)

I don't know the specifics at Twitter's end but fairly large portion of people I follow still use it daily. Feels like the drop wasn't permanent.
