It is? I’d like to read about that

Hell yeah! (Edit, about the haka, 😅😅😅 not the punishment)

Raises alarms? It sounds like he had a mental breakdown and caused his staffers to as well.

Welcome! My little tips:

You can change your default sorting. I recommend setting it to hot instead of active.

You can filter things by word content in titles. Useful for filtering out some political content if you need a breather.

Have fun! 😁

Looking at the cats in this image up close got me like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otd15iyp51E&t=0

Yeah, it’s an AI image that spent some time on Facebook and Instagram. Reverse image searched.

I couldn’t resist sending a picture. This is Ciel, one of our three rabbits. He lives by himself in the main room because he hates other rabbits, but he loves humans.

I recommend reading the wabbitwiki to get all the best information.

Rabbits are social, but they can also be territorial. It’s typically recommend to keep a bonded pair of rabbits. One male and one female.

It’s best to keep rabbits indoors, with at least 4 feet by 4 feet of play area. Typically people use portable dog pens. We used to do this, but once our rabbits got settled in their space, we removed the pens. Now they can go wherever they want, but they choose never to leave thier room.

They are litter box trained. It’s a different kind of litter than cat litter. We use a layer of compressed pine pellets topped with hay.

Rabbits pee and poop in the litter box, but they will always poop a little bit outside the box. The nice thing is, rabbit poops are dry little balls that don’t really smell, so we just vacuum it up.

I really like our rabbits. The hardest thing about them is all the bad information. For example, a pet store will sell you a hutch or cage which is much too small. They also will charge you way too much for hay and sell you unhealthy feed pellets. The wabbitwiki is a valuable resource.

Not really. Rabbits can eat just about anything in small quantities, but thier digestive system is hyper specialized around eating plants, mostly grasses, If they don’t get consistent access to hay (or quality grass alternative) they enter a state called GI stasis and die. Source: I own a few pet rabbits. One almost died because we gave him too many rasins. He gets compressed hay pellets with some added sugar as treats now.

It makes me kinda excited! Very cute.

The condition of the camera was such that forensic experts were only able to extract 10 seconds of footage. It was clear that the victim thought the stoat as a cute little buddy, but when I look into his eyes through the monitor screen, I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I can see only the overwhelming indifference of nature.

As a resident of Tampa Bay, frankly, we deserve it.

I’m sure a lot of very smart people thought of it for perhaps 30 to 40 minutes before deciding never to speak of that bad idea every again.

That print does actually look pretty nice, but I hate how inconsistent the two images are. It’d drive me fing crazy to have those prints on my wall when the continuity of design is so clearly lacking.

This could be a good application for local LLMs. Have it browse the Internet or a local repository for you so as to minimize the sending and receiving of data.

You could have a weather node that sends out reports a few times a day, but also responds to specific questions.

I’m new to meshtastic too. Just an FYI, you can make the primary channel a custom private one and still have a longfast pubic channel as a secondary as long as you you set the Lora frequency to 20 (at least that’s the default one in the USA).

I coincidentally just got two of them today! I’m getting sub 1km in my neighborhood between my nodes, but the one I suck up in the attic earlier is consistently pinging nodes in cars as they drive on an overpass 6.6 km away! Pretty neat.

Do you have any recommendations for long range nodes, maybe atenna?

Seeed studio has some cool stuff! I’m waiting on 2 sensecap card style nodes from them to test out. If they work well I’m going to buy a handful of these and maybe some dedicated GUI devices. I live in a natural disaster hotspot.

I’m afraid that we seen to disagree on who an artist is and what is a valid moral trade off.

Is it really the democratization of art? Or the commodification of art?

Art has, with the exception of extraordinary circumstances, always been democratic. You could at any point pick up a pencil and draw.

Ai has funneled that skill, critically through theft, into a commodified product, the ai model. Through with they can make huge profits.

The machine does the art. And, even when run on your local machine the model was almost certainly trained on expensive machines through means you could not personally replicate.

I find it alarming that people are so willing to celebrate this. It’s like throwing a party that you can buy bottled Nestle water at the grocery store which was taken by immoral means. It’s nice for you, but ultimately just further consolation of power away from individuals.

Sorry, I might have went a bit ham on you there, it was late at night. I think I might have been rude

1. Theft does not depend on a legal definition.

Intellectual property theft used to be legal, but protections were eventually put in place to protect the industry of art. (I’m not a staunch defender if the laws as they are, and I belive it actually, in many cases, stifles creativity.)

I bring up the law not recognizing machine generated art only to dismiss the idea that the legal system agrees wholeheartedly with the stance that AI art is defensibly sold on the free market.

2. There is no evidence to suggest AI think like a human / It hardly matters that AI can be creative.

A) To suggest a machine neutral network “thinks like a human” is like suggesting a humanoid robot “runs like a human.” It’s true in an incredibly broad sense, but carries so little meaning with it.

Yes, ai models use advanced, statistical multiplexing of parameters, which can metaphorically be compared to neurons, but only metaphorically. It’s just vaguely similar. Inspired by, perhaps.

B) It hardly matters if AI can create art. It hardly even matters if they did it in exactly the way humans do.

Because the operator doesn’t have the moral or ethical right to sell it in either case.

If the AI is just a stocastic parrot, then it is a machine of theft leveraged by the operator to steal intellectual labor.

If the AI is creative in the same way as a person, then it is a slave.

I’m not actually against AI art, but I am against selling it, and I respect artists for trying to protect their industry. It’s sad to see an entire industry of workers get replaced by machines, and doubly sad to see that those machines are made possible by the theft of their work. It’s like if the automatic loom had been assembled out of centuries of collected fabrics. Each worker non consensually, unknowingly, contributing to the near total destruction of their livelihood. There is hardly a comparison which captures the perversion of it.
