all the frothing-at-the-mouth posts about how "don't you dare put a fic writer's work into chatGPT or an artist's work into stable diffusion" are. frustrating

that isn't how big models are made. it takes an absurd amount of compute power and coordination between many GPUs to re-train a model with billions of parameters. they are not dynamically crunching up anything you put into a web interface.

chances are, if you have something published on a fanfic site, or your art is on deviantart or any publicly available repository, it's already in the enormous datasets that they are using to train. and if it isn't in now, it will be in future: the increases in performance from GPT 2 to 3 to 4 were not gained through novel machine-learning architectures or anything but by ramping up the amount of data they used to train by orders of magnitude. if it can be scraped, just assume it will be. you can prevent your stuff from being used with Glaze, if you're an artist, but for the written word there's nothing you can do.

not to be cynical but the genie is already far more out of the bottle than most anti-AI people realize, i think. there is nothing you can do to stop these models from being made and getting more powerful. only the organizing power of labor has a shot at mitigating some of the effects we're all worried about

tbh it doesn't rly hurt teenagers to incorrectly id as ace like... what's the worst than could happen? they don't have sex till they're older?? lol

Ship bingo! I couldn't find any that fit my preferences so I made my own. Feel free to reblog/repost!

If I traveled to Italy and entered a genuine pizzeria, sat myself down, unzipped my purse and pulled out a bottle of Hidden Valley ranch, do you suppose the Italians would swarm for the kill immediately or would they outsource it to the Italian mafia

Pregnancy counts as a form of possession right?

This is so dumb but i literally do not care it is funny TO ME.

Artists note: Reigen is ftm

date night!!!😊

there is a demon in your house named CARBON MONOXIDE. he enchants your mind with confusion and your body with exhaustion. you need to call a powerful exorcist named HVAC TECHNICIAN

I have a hc that mob eventually picks up on some reigen mannerisms... hes not sure how to feel about this development

I love how Reigen is actually pleased with his work and enjoys it enough to stay. Being a scammer is actually his passion. His chosen career path is pretending to be psychic, and he truly likes it. That’s hilarious help

im sorry class.

i think a missed character opportunity in mp100 would be some lady who knows reigen is a great impromptu masseuse/handyman/guy who will listen to me bitch abt my problems and who often undercharges for his services. so she just shows up and is like oh reigen-san, there is a horrible crack in my wall i think its haunted. reigen-san i think my coworker cursed me my back is so stiff. reigen-san uh my plants are possessed by an evil spirit and im going out of town this week will you exorcise them while im gone? they need ritually purified water every 3 days. it's in the watering can by the sink.

my first favorite hobby is yapping. second is being extremely quiet and not talking ever at all ever.

Saw this on a door at work.
