If there is going to be an actual alien thinking machine dead set on killing humans, it's important it be democratized and we all have access to it.

We can all take turns with the Death Note

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 57d (2 replies)

Everybody gets a deathnote.

echodot@feddit.uk · 4 pts · 57d

Put your names on the death note so we don't get mixed up.

But AI is stupid.

In 4 hours, the internet would have dumped enough porn into it that it would think ‘the little death’ is its goal and then try to fuck humanity to death.

(That plot could either be a good camp movie, or a bad porn.)

What about camp porn

Good news! It's not thinking!

Wait...

Here's to hoping they have a pre-programmed kill limit

AI is now going to learn Z and Russians are targets. Any Russians. It's like an 80s action movie.

echodot@feddit.uk · 4 pts · 57d

That's why you need the A-Team. They are as far from Z as possible and therefore essentially invisible to the AI.

You know it's hard to not believe the 'Ukrainians are nazis' propaganda when you tend to advocate for genocide as often as literally any Israeli twitter account.

Unlike Israel, I have sympathy for the Palestinian people

Well it's good you support vulnerable populations. Say did you hear about this guy pretty much universally called a dictator who forcibly conscripts innocent poor kids and ethnic minorities into his foreign war for power while keeping most of his military at home in order to ensure tight control over the domestic population so they can't meaningfully rebel and even when they do international media spins it as the enemy country in this dictator's war having a successful attack even when it's obvious domestic sabotage that likely has nothing to do with the war except, obviously, the forced conscription and increased domestic military presence?

Man that seems like a target rich environment full of blood thirsty enemies for you to root for the complete and total genocide of and not at all a vulnerable population.

There's no meaningful opposition. The majority of Russians still support this war. How am I supposed to view the conscripts as innocent kids when they chose to commit unspeakable war crimes across Ukraine? It's hard for me to find sympathy.

The majority of Russians still support this war.

You mean in polls conducted in a country where secret police have literally posed as pollsters and arrested people, and where police just openly arrest anyone that speaks out against the regime, there isn't a large consensus speaking out against the regime?!

My God, they're all monsters, even the children!

hoch@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 56d

At the start of the war, I had a lot more sympathy for the Russian people. After 4 years, not so much.

Vengeance is a bitch.

CosmoNova@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 57d

Just what everyone was begging for and no sci-fi author in history was warning about.

Great

Humans are teaching AI how to kill humans.

Nothing that could go wrong here

Is a drobe used in war a wardrobe?

Ukraine would like their land and children back instead.

eleitl@lemmy.zip · -3 pts · 57d (3 replies)

Ukraine has been too busy killing their own citizens since 2014 to now stop being a NATO proxy against Russia. Demographically, they are already dead.

yucandu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 57d (2 replies)

Go back to Russia. I hear they need good soldiers like you.

eleitl@lemmy.zip · -3 pts · 57d (1 reply)

Go back to the Ukraine. I hear fans of Bandera and Shukhevych need warm bodies to fertilize the rich chernosem, so go join https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Legion_(Ukraine)

yucandu@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 57d

My fellow human, if you have a problem with Nazis, you should read into what the Russians are doing today.

Jokes on them. I've got absolutely nothing useful to contribute.

That's very cool. Or do you prefer only tech giants to be able to make AI and have a monopoly over it?

@sanitation 这批无人机素材里有没有标注出镜头的光照条件(比如黄昏 vs 正午)?我们之前训练夜视模型时发现,同一场景在不同光线下的噪点分布完全不一样,最后不得不手动分层采样。如果这批数据已经做了光谱标签,我倒是想看看能不能用来微调我们的低光增强模块 —— 不过先问问,免得白费力气。

I don't think Sanitation would have the answers. Maybe go contact the people who made the data?
