I had Mexican flatmates/neighbours during my master’s abroad, and it was always funny to me how they casually insert English words while speaking, with a perfect American accent whilist talking Spanish

As an Italian I might do that too, but the accent is nowhere near, we just need the word in English but pronunciation can be whatever

Straight to hen*

Me too, far more than on other platforms

This is based on one controversial source, an article written by a priest, to which the commission board decided to formally respond with concern, including for conflict of interest

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5567452/

There is a whole discussion.

The point of having sources is not to demonstrate a number is true, but to allow readers to see how scientific are the findings. You can read the discussion for yourself.

This poster cherrypicks a controversial article that shows the numbers the poster authors wanted, despite it being an outlier in that research space

Of my two examples, one is a cooperative, indeed there are people in Spain who go work there, and the other one is not a country, but a people inside Turkey, that has to military defend their own existance

I’d be very happy to go work in Mondragon or another worker cooperative. I was looking for a job in one yesterday

If you are interested on contemporary socialist economy professors talking about the experiences in the soviet union and in China, there are some, Richard Wolff is a nice one to start with. He carefully explains concepts of Marxism and to what extent they were applied in various cases, but then focuses on what current socialists advocate for.

If you want working examples of non-capitalist systems, that are sorts of socialist systems, we have worker coops such as the Mondragon coop in Spain, or the Democratic Confederalism of Kurdistan

If you are not interested in learning anything of socialism past what billionaires’ propaganda tells you, you are very free to do so

“Those in control” should be the workers, otherwise it’s not socialism, no matter how dictators like to call themselves

“Everyone treated like crap except those in control” applies to capitalism too, especially in colonised countries

Popularity is a curse, and the fix for a fair economic life is anti-capitalism

Capitalism will exploit people’s qualities, if that is looks, they will exploit that too

Imagine have your parents control your looks

Like, your parents growing up in the 80s deciding how you’ll look in the 10s

Yes, I don’t think it’s a matter of training.

The diffusion model generates pictures by starting on a canvas with random pixels, then it edits those pixel colours and carves the picture out of that chaos

To achieve an area with all the same colour, it would need to put very exact values on the last generation step.

It can be fixed easily with a very subtle lowpass filter, but that would be human intervention. The model itself will have a hard time replicating it

Two that I noticed are:

For drawings in the ghibli style, you can see noise on areas that should have all the same colour. That’s because of how the diffusion model works, it’s very hard for it to replicate lack of variation in colours. If fact that noise will always exist, it’s just more noticeable on simple styles.

For music, specifically with Suno, it tends to use the similar sounding instruments between different tracks of the same specifispecified genres, and those sounds might change during the track and never come back to their original sound (because it generates section by section of the track from start to end, the transformer model will feed the last sections back as input to generate the new ones, amplifying possible biases in the model)

It is conceivable.

For example, imagine a society like ours but where everyone, no matter their wealth, has to do essential jobs, taking turns. For example everyone in your city needs to be a garbage collector for one week every 2 years, or they need to work in hospitals to help clean patients for a week every year, maybe you need to work in the fields for a month every 2 years, basically all jobs that people only do because they can’t do anything less tiresome plus jobs that are now almost fully automated to produce essentials but still require some labour.

In that system, you’d always have enough workforce to give everyone enough food, homes, healthcare and education to live, while people might still work at secondary non-essential jobs, voluntarily, and gaining a bit more to have their fancy cars and yatch.

This is a conceptual society where, despite the possibility for individual differences, you don’t really have classes, because no matter if you were born in poverty or you are Elon Musk, you all have to take part on essential services equally.

I recently made a pdf with some of my notes on hints of AI in images and music, but I’m not sure how to send files here

It’s not easy ofc, and it will get harder with time, but I am convinced we can tell if trained a bit. Because there are clear differences in the creative processes between humans and machines, which will always result in different biases

With time I think we’ll learn to only trust people we have some social connection with, so we know they are real and they don’t use AI (or they use it up to a level acceptable to us)

This could go wrong in so many ways

Is that a big pigeon shadow on the top?

E per sta volta ce la siamo scampata

Tbf to them it’s not their fault that the once leftwing party “randomly” decided to put a boneless liberal right before an election that had them winning for sure

I wonder what lobbies and their media have to say about that magic trick

There’s a german techno band called Scooter, they made a song called How Much is the Fish, and another one called the phrase I wrote

You could try Google’s new NotebookLM if the legal writing is a book, or even just a long document

Otherwise just use any llm and ask step by step checking references

The question is what is the question
