Plot checks out.

Sidebar wondering where the dark scrappy timeline Originates from besides the Scooby Doo live action movie and of course our desire to give a comedic dark twist to something seemingly innocent and/or cute

If you can manage subtitles I would suggest Survive Style 5+, don’t look it up, just watch.

Yup, problem is we apply this to everything from dating, culture, politics, religion, and so on. Obviously all the things I think are valid and obviously whoever doesn’t agree is somewhere between misguided to the spawn of Satan.

But what about all the gender or race swap possibilities?

I’ve known families who’ve been more mobile than myself, but you’re right, definitely not average. I used to have a lot more stuff but it gets heavy on the mind.

Not where I live. Few people even have smartphones and there’s no garbage trucks.

Just because something was a joke doesn’t mean it isn’t serious. Some of the best comedy is about really serious subject matter or comes out of really serious moments, surgeons humor or trench humor.

I guess because of the choices I’ve made that’s not really been the case personally. Usually I get my deposits back in full or nearly in full. I’ve never hired movers or rented a truck so far. I guess if I needed I would get a trailer and sell it when I’m done with it. As for labor, there’s always cheap labor around. Two dudes who want $50 each is probably enough if I couldn’t physically move my stuff but irl I would probably have my family help.

That’s a lot. I just break down my stuff and pack in my truck. Last time I moved in the states it was a security deposit and first months rent so like $1800 (or $500 more than I was going to pay anyways in rent) and I guess gas. If needed I would buy and sell a trailer for like $400 so it would work out to $0 after being sold. My furniture is all very light and breaks down or otherwise can be easily moved by my little metal dolly and held with my straps. If I needed labor I could probably find two guys for $50 each for like those few hours, lunch included of course. It’s really not much stuff.

I’m definitely biased, I keep only about what I can move in my truck. Also around here it’s almost trivial to furnish a two bedroom place with used and free stuff for like $300 to $500.

You’re essentially making the argument that because some organizations and people have made poor choices in their endeavor to develop AI that the technology itself is the problem.

It’s like someone saying water is being gathered in immoral ways by some companies that are displacing native people and destroying natural habitat therefore water is bad. And you keep making this argument again and again.

Nothing from stopping everyone from coming together to leave the property in mass if they increase rent.

Really all of those benefits depend on the location, market, and if it’s in an HOA.

Replace AI with addictive illegal substances and you got yourself a real winner

So tweaking a variable in one context isn’t the same as tweaking a variable in another? I simply don’t agree but it would be interesting to see why you feel that’s the case.

So you want me to spit out the proprietary algorithms adobe owns for you to know they are using algorithms for their software? Like you want to go through canny edge detection, singular value decomposition and convolutional neural network algorithms to be sure they’re both algorithms you could work through on paper?

Almost every single last processor around is deterministic aka you can work through the algorithm step by step by hand if you wanted.

Once again we are having two separate discussions and you keep trying to merge them into one discussion and tbh it’s getting annoying to parent you on this. You’re free to make the argument that particular actions by particular actors are bad and you’re free to make the argument NN are bad but you keep trying to conflate the two and it’s now childish since I’ve pointed out multiple times that it’s two separate discussions. Like Sam Altman isn’t literally chatGPT or the personification of neural networks, he is a dude separate from NN, you get?

Your final argument means any music, images, movies, or games processed on a computer in any way are not of any interest so essentially everything since 2000. You know your comments are being processed by a logic machine right?

We’re literally communicating to one another through many levels of logic processing from your input device to the screen, operating system, to the entire internet and servers between you and I and you say you’re disinterested. I call bullshit. If you’re that disinterested stop using anything that processes algorithms for you, no electronic or mechanical computers whatsoever DS.

Anyways I’m now assuming you’re just straight trolling and wasting my time with pure nonsense.

I literally brought up alpha fold for that exact point. Anyways, I can see you are anti-neural networks no matter what from your history. Are there any other families of algorithms you are prejudiced towards or is that the one and only?

I mean I don’t know who you are personally. . . Like what details about yourself do you expect a stranger to know?

I mean if two painters make similar enough strokes with similar enough paint you get two essentially identical paintings. Hunting the solution space for an NN can be like working through all orderings of a card deck, that’s to say very far from as trivial as you’re making it sound and about as silly as the example I gave above.

I’m not sure exploring just a few examples in the ocean of essentially infinite examples or analogies does much for us both beyond picking something and arguing which is more accurate. Obviously you’re arguing the more useless examples are more accurate and I’m arguing NN have real world use and vakue as shown at least by alpha fold. I would say your basis of argument is more incorrect from the reality we’re sharing and I’m well aware of the pros and cons of what we’re dealing with.

Neural networks are a valuable technology for humanity, to say otherwise is to be blind to reality. That said there’s plenty of actually legitimate arguments one could wage about their current development and use.

Tldr: you be hating too hard, chill my friend.

Exactly. There’s this massive ocean of disorder being created by the sun and because of that we get to create ice cubes in our freezer.

Arguably more so chemists but yeah I’m aware. Most / all of their paints were made by hand themselves as well, part of the reason it was a sensible transition to film production and manipulation.
