"I think it's actually very unfair to the victims of sexual assault to say that somehow their lives are being worse by electing Donald Trump for president"

"Can we ask victims of sexual assault what they think?"

"No no no! No need. I'll tell you all about it. Here's the thing..."

Holy god that's by far the worst one. Still the same gaping chasm of moral vacancy, but he looks younger and more vigorous, more capable with his greedy darkness.

(Edit: It's Joe Manchin, a totally different crooked rich white guy who gets away with everything)

I have this totally unreasonable belief that I can sometimes tell just from looking at someone that they're an awful person.

An outrage. I don't want prisoners in the US to make my food, just vulnerable immigrant populations kept perpetually at the edge of deportation, and subsistence foreign farmers victimized by a century and a half of gunpointed economic oppression with the full-throated support of the entire permitted US political spectrum.

Looks like you need to remove the image for the actual link to be the link

The six justices were named as defendants in the case. They did not give a detailed justification as to why they chose not to weigh in, and are not required to do so.

As Hunter Thompson said: "To ask the question is to answer the question."

Disclaimer: I have no real qualification on this. But it seems like this whole technology is pretty sensitive to the specific model being used and the specific details of the pixels; the whole thing is written like there's some silver-bullet image alteration that can fool "machine vision" in general, but what it demonstrates is nothing like that.

I asked Midjourney to identify the altered images that machines are supposed to identify as a sheep or a cat or whatever, and it said:

  • A bouquet of flowers sitting on the table in a brown vase
  • Some bright colored flowers in a circular vase
  • An omelette and sandwiches on the table
  • An omelet with hash browns

... which is what they are.

The last two images were actually a little more interesting -- they're distorted to the point that it's visually obvious that they've been altered, and Midjourney actually picks up that the image is distorted a little, and includes that in the style part of its description, while mostly-accurately describing what's in the image. These are its full descriptions:

"a red bridge, traffic lights, and a fencedin section of street, in the style of digital mixed media, thermal camera, american realism, found object sculpture, stipple, ricoh r1, xbox 360 graphics"

"a pole with a traffic light and a van, in the style of distorted, fragmented images, manapunk, found objects, webcam photography, suburban ennui capturer, hyper-realistic bird studies, 19th century american art"

Hunter S. Thompson was right all along...

The stuff about ibogaine in "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72" was in a rare category where I genuinely couldn't tell if he was being serious or making up nonsense. Maybe it was real.

Makes sense. I don't use Tor for much of anything, just have an awareness of it, but I do donate money to lemmy.world and SDF for pretty much exactly this reason.
