Were not meant to feel sorry for this person.

This is not an emotion triggering article. Its a n information warning.

The apps some use to send private messages can call the cops on you if an ai gets context wrong. Kinda a big deal.

Is that really that different?

The article doesn’t go into any length to explain the technology. But assuringly its just an encrypted passcode created with an algorithm using measured face data.

Crafting a secure reliable personal id based on pure visual appearance has been tricky and when this came out i disliked it but it was clearly a feat.

What is the story here?

Google trusting this technology?

Them adding age verification to it?

I am just confused what makes this enough of something to write/post it.

Did i just time travel or is this the feature i have been refusing to use on my phone for almost a decade?

Yeah November 2017; 8 years ago

Is this implemented very different technologically speaking?

The question i have,

The image is digital when it is uploaded. There is a fixed assortiment of pixels only differentiated by the contrast of shades of grey.

The instructions say to colorise.

In my head this means every pixel needs to obtain a color value, while still matching contrast with pixels around it.

What ai does instead is provide an entirely newly constructed image made up from entirely new pixels which show “google deepdream” patterns.

This is from the final result where the author was “happier” with the result and asked what i assume is an llm to not invent information that isn’t there. (Zoom in)

This is not what i would call a colorisation, it’s a colorised re-creation. I imagine a real colorisation as simply a layer of color values that combine with the exact pixels of the digital scan. Disabling that layer (using photo software) should return the exact digital original and turning the final colorisation into a black and white filter should still leave it nearly identical to the original. Anything else is a recreation for fun and fantasy purposes only.

To vent, i am so glad we convinced someone in the family not to use the “ai enhanced” version for a loved ones official funeral picture.

Paid twice.

US citizens paid Nintendo for raising its prices on them… and the wild part is that it’s not even the corporations exact fault.

The system is designed to have capitalism win.

If i recall it was as an example of how “ai” can be more then just llm chatbots. I thought the com was specifically against llms but they didn’t like general machine learning either.

Long time ago though.

I one got banned from an anti ai com for mentioning video game npc ai.

I am sorry but It actually kinda looks to me like an ai generated advertisement for this persons book. The adapted from makes me think its not the original text which genuinely feels uncanny and convoluted like ai does.

Are we sure this person is directly involved or was ai generated self authored articles part of the small print of a advertisement contract.

Or are we sure that their qualifications make them really immune to make use of ai like this.

Technically speaking its all drugs for everyone all the way down.

Even besides the fact that mood and emotions are largely controlled by endocannabinoids. The difference between normal chemicals, medical chemicals and drug ones is a cultural distinction.

The reason we suspect the pineal gland is cause it has all the ingredients…

Which it also needs to produce the sleep molecule melatonin. Which is a triptomine.

The theory is that it shifts over to producing a large amount of dmt twice, at birth, and at death. (If i recall correctly)

That might just be a flavor autism honestly,

Source: i have one of these flavours of autism. People have often judged me for being high while i know there where no drugs were involved.

It doesn’t need to be, there is reasonable proof that humans and other mammals naturally synthesises (trace amounts off) dmt, which are presumed to be used and broken down incredibly quickly. We still don’t know why, what its used for or have hard proof where its produced (pineal gland is main suspect for having all ingredients in theory)

In theory something could trigger an effect that stops it from breaking down or produce it at a faster rate, therefore triggering psychedelics effects with out the consumed substance containing anything psychedelic itself.

Dmt is known for seeing (machine) elves, does not sound that far away from seeing mini people.

I dont really know these things but i always just assumed rye (and barely) was just a kind of wilder less domesticated wheat.

No no , thats just standard operation. As long as the “owner” and shareholders ends up with more money than they started they do not give a fuck.

What if you don’t have a webcam?

“For users with accessibility needs who cannot use hand gestures to complete the challenge, reCAPTCHA continues to provide visual and audio challenges, and develop more accessible and secure alternatives,”

Security is as good as the weakest link, either bots will exploit the accessibility feature making the webcam step for humans unnecessary… or its just as secure… making the webcam step unnecessary.

Blatent attempt to extract data from you and nothing more if you ask me.

I have no knowledge of this drama or hard feelings for your instance in either direction.

But was that ever a thing? I joined a month after you and there where options plenty.

Tried cook serve delicious (3?) on the steam wallet code window in the app (supposedly it works for game keys also) but it said it already got claimed.

Maybe someone at an actual pc has more luck.

In any case, “next time” (if ever again) you may want to list just the game titles and then pm the keys to those that ask.

Or like the other comment mentioned, could now for the first communicate with His daughter and family.

This is a common stereotype but there is a reasonably sized group of Linux enthusiasts who work on macs.

Macos is a real unix based OS. (As opposed to unix compatible GNU “Gnu is Not Unix”) and they claim the performance (apples own chips), even in a vm is amazing.

I had at least one coworker who did this, i also remember Emily Young (Who some remember as Anthony from Ltt) also had quite a few apple products in her house.

I read this back in april,

The entire research were very nervous about doing this cause they essentially post misinformation. So they filled it to the brim with clear signs that its fake, tons of pop culture references and nonsensical wording.
