I’ll bring chairs and a blanket

May I join you on this hill?

Nah, it’s actually possible to see each version. There are actually three: white and gold, blue and black, blue and brown. It’s like those “magic eye puzzles”. It just kinda pops into place when it happens. Depending on the lighting in your room and what colors your eyes have recently been looking at, your eyes will see it differently. It has partly to do with how what you “see” is a hodgepodge of signals all being processed into one “image” and the way we process color.

You are correct tho, objectively the image is a specific RGB value and has a defined “color”. That whole divergence between what it is and what it appears to be is the very subject of all those research papers.

I believe one of the ways to easily defeat this trick is to put the dress on a person. The skin tone will act as a known reference point for the rest.

It’s a social contract basically: we will be peaceful as long as you allow us to remain peaceful.

It’s a reference to an actual note someone put up and is basically calling them a giant nerd instead of leaving a normal message like “hey, found wallet, call this number”. Although in fairness, the idea is actually pretty interesting because it creates an easy cypher only the intended recipient can crack, thus filtering out cons.

The original note was almost identical, MINUS the Star Trek part.

Yeah, I don’t need to make friends to find stl files. A database with a lookup function will do fine.

Yes, because everything needs to be a social web. Fuck off with that nonsense. Sometimes a database just needs to be a database. The last thing we need is more echo chambers in every damn hobby.

You realize a bunch of instances have blocked/defederated Lemmy.world, right? Exactly the kind of fragmentation I’d like to avoid. Literally other people chose who I can and can’t talk to already.

This is a hard pass.

Exactly this. I don’t want to have to dig through 100 communities all spread out to find things. Not everyone needs “my own” whatever. You can be centralized and public. Federation is just another buzzword like blockchain.

You’re a moron. First off, his name is Miazaki, and secondly, that quote is taken out of context. Do you just believe whatever you’re told to believe with no research? Looks like it.

And AI ethics? Are you fucking serious? Sure, the world is filled with slave labor and corruption and human trafficking and you’re over here defending copyright. The most capitalistic, corporate position you can take.

If you couldn’t copy someone else’s art style, 99% of Deviant Art wouldn’t even exist. Ffs, painting and sculpture are broken into various periods based on how everything was a certain vibe. Where do you think Surrealism, realism, cubism and other terms come from?

Hell, this meme was stolen from Fox/Seth MacFarlane. Did OP get permission to steal someone else’s art and plaster text on it? Literally the same ethics you claim to defend.

These posts really just come across as a bunch of bitter Art Institute graduates who can’t do shit with their “degree”.

I just find it rich that most of these memes are just made with a website that adds captions… “Hurr durr my 5 clicks are more valid than your 5 clicks”

Art is the idea and its expression. Bunch of pretentious snobs.

Agreed. About the only thing I would search Lemmy for is obnoxious Linux snobbery. That, they have on lock.

You need to remember first of all what sites like reddit, digg, and now Lemmy actually are. They are link aggregators. The content is anything and every thing. Just link to it. It’s that simple. And if you feel it is in a place that might get removed, screenshot it, archive.org it, copy into an online Google Doc, and post that. There’s no reason we need 500 identical “How do I do X?” posts just to fill content. Do you want 500 posts clogging your feed about how to fix the same printer issue over and over?

If you’re gonna post spam, at least spell it right.

As much as I want to hate the researchers for this, how are you going to ethically test whether you can manipulate people without… manipulating people. And isn’t there an argument to be made for harm reduction? I mean, this stuff is already going on. Do we just ignore it or only test it in sanitized environments that won’t really apply to the real world?

I dunno, mostly just shooting the shit, but I think there is an argument to be made that this kind of research and it’s results are more valuable than the potential harm. Tho the way this particular research team went about it, including changing the study fundamentally without further approval, does pose problems.

Did that actually get confirmed? I saw that as well but it wasn’t confirmed as best as I can tell. RIP if true. Dude was a legend.

It goes to 8. The next one isn’t titled like it continues, but it does. Keep clicking.

Exactly. If this minimal effort is keeping people out - GOOD. If you can’t put the bare minimum effort in, then you’ll just be another mindless TikTok type person and we really don’t need those.

I never said bots were the problem. I said people caring more about popularity is the problem and that once you realize this it’s super easy to program bots to imitate people by up voting/down voting what you want. But yes, call me dense when you’ve misconstrued my argument from day one.

Edit: didn’t look like my previous comment posted so I rewrote it. Considering how dense you are tho, maybe two versions will help you finally understand, so I’ll just leave it.

Because I never said bots are to blame. People are and once you realize that, programming a bot to do what people can do is super easy.

I get offended when people try to tell me I made an argument I never made. But thanks again buddy 👍
