You’re almost certainly wrong about the Friends lego deal.  The sale appears to already be sold out...I was gonna buy it for my partner as a Christmas present...

I can agree with that, lol.

Right, but at a very basic level, how does the AI get a bank of words to choose from in the first place, and how does it learn to construct coherent sentences, let alone learn which word is most likely to come next?

For the sake of argument, what if you only gave an AI the complete works of Shakespeare for its training…

The thing is, that’s not how “AI” works. It’s just machine learning, so it can only create based on the input it’s given. AI’s aren’t thinking critically and reinterpreting what they’ve consumed, they’re essentially just parroting back the information they’ve consumed. It’s essentially plagiarism. When you write a…

Idk why they needed Johnny Ive to design a turntable that looks like a mildly updated Thorens turntable...which you can buy on ebay for around $1500.

If you think I deserve to be called names for that comment, I have to wonder why you’re so triggered.

lol, ok, says the guy who didn’t reply with a meaningful comment and instead called me names.

We don’t have to lock them up, but it seems you have stumbled upon a very major systemic problem in our society. All of the things you have listed are indeed problematic and are indeed a form a grooming, and it’s gross. Children’s beauty pageants are a form of grooming. The way boys and girls get treated in gymnastics…

Grooming doesn’t necessarily mean you want to have sex with kids. It can mean you’re “grooming” them so that they’re ready for you when they come of age. It’s manipulative and creepy. It’s what Drake does. He’s maybe never been physically involved with a minor, but he develops deeply personal and inappropriate…

I made it to the part where my password caught on fire...and I had to rage quit.

That’s weird...I just put in XXXV and it worked.

Why would you post possible spoilers for a movie that hasn’t even been release yet?  I hadn’t thought twice about that shot, and then here you are speculating and spoiling...

...wondering why you can just live there. And the weird thing is, maybe you can...

That doesn’t make sense at all.  If it’s publicly available on the internet, anyone can access and view the data and do whatever they want with it.  An AI learning algorithm especially would be able to just scrape the available web pages, it can read the info just like a human.  The API just makes it easier for not…

Fer sure. I was just speaking to the point that I don’t think it was just that George is dead that Paul is like, fuck ‘em now we can do it. I at least want to believe Paul is moving forward in the spirit of what George said, which he claims was - it was a nice song, but the vocals were trash so he didn’t want to…

That’s not what he’s saying at all. He’s saying at the time they weren’t able to get the vocal quality they desired from the demo recording so George didn’t want to go forward. But with AI, they can isolate Lennon’s vocals and reinterpret it to sound like he was recorded in a studio.  If George could have gotten the…

That’s over simplifying vocal separation quite a lot. When it’s done in something like ProTools, you’re either able to do it because the vocals are panned to one channel exclusively, or the vocals are panned center but the instruments are only on one channel or the other. This allows you to play one channel out of…

These are just regular dates...

Yep......
