I don’t really think the notion that the workers are also the customers has really sank in.

Food stamps are designed specifically so people can kibble about what the recipients should or should not eat.

The dignified thing to do is just to give them money. That’s the cause of poverty. A lack of money.

Aw man, this sucks. He was one of the greats.

This not a place of honor. No great deed is commemorated here.

Let’s not forget these systems were deployed as a (deliberately escalatory) response to GWB withdrawing from the ABM treaty and placing interceptor batteries on shore in Eastern Europe.

Interceptor batteries are hard to distinguish from IRBMs without inspecting the canister contents because they follow similar trajectories to the missiles they need to intercept and have therefore similar physical characteristics.

This is not to excuse the Russians (fuck those guys) but to point out that this is the result of a strategic calculus that EVERYONE in the field warned the Bush administration about for literally years in the 2001–2008 timeframe.

To be clear: by everyone I mean everyone. The arms control people were like “don’t do this, it will suck for everyone”, and the military types were like “start building IRBMs now so when the russkis start escalating we’ll have more”, but EVERYONE saw it coming.

Comic book Death is super hot. TV series death too now I think about it.

But a chunky man page can be like 5kb! We can’t have hundreds of the things just lying around on the file system doing nothing!

Well, sort of. There is a difference between models that eat text and output images (diffusion models like Dalle and stable diffusion) and the models that eat images and text and output text (vision llms like qwen3-vl), but the way they both know what things look like is based on contrastive learning, based on an older model called CLIP and its descendants.

Basically you feed a model both images and descriptions of images and train it to produce the same output vectors in both cases. Essentially it learns what a car looks like, and what the image of a car is called in whatever languages it’s trained in. If you only train a model on “acceptable” image/descriptions it literally never learns the words for “unacceptable” things and acts.

Diffusion models are often fine tuned on specific types of porn (either full parameter or QLoRa), often with great effect. The same is much more work for llms though. Even if you remove the censorship (eg through abliteration, modifying the weights to inhibit outright denials), the models that’s left will not know the words it needs to express the concepts in the images.

So the party leadership gave him a Nazi tattoo decades ago?

Just stop.

This is not “I didn’t inhale”. This is a Nazi tattoo. I’m sure there are people that want him gone for their own purposes. That does not change the facts on the ground. He has a Nazi tattoo.

Thrash fire? On Mechahitler’s site? I’m shocked!

A graphical server and a mall, not alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene.

Ethics of training AI models on people’s work and likeness aside, the fact that the current models refuse to work and are not trained on NFSW text and images is a massive risk.

We know they are used for content moderation, but even abliterated versions of Qwen3-VL are not able to accurately describe anything involving sexual acts. Instead they go “an intimate photograph with a brick wall background and natural lighting”.

It’s a huge hole in the models, and it’s going to lead to trouble one way or the other.

Quick, get this to Dontnod for their next game!

Cozy is for libs

It doesn’t necessarily make you a Nazi, but it does make you a moron at the very least, and it raises the odds of you being a Nazi by like a billion percent.

Is this really the best you guys can do?

Right? Best case he’s as impulsive incurious idiot. Worst case he’s an actual Nazi.

Move on, there’s nothing to gain here.

Dude. It’s a Nazi tattoo. A NAZI tattoo. A NAZI TATTOO.

It’s not a non issue. If you think Nazi tattoos are hunky dory, you are a part of the problem.

Stock footage from the 117th information directorate.

What do you mean accidentally getting a Nazi tattoo is not disqualifying?

It’s better than getting one on purpose, but it’s still an absolutely fucking moronic thing to do. It’s worse than the FUCK THE SYTSEM guy — by a whole lot — and I absolutely would not support the FUCK THE SYTSEM guy to run the government.

And I’m not ready to concede it was an accident.
