Sorry no, there have been several studies about the negative mental health impacts of always on social media life in teens but you just like muddying the waters so you pretend it’s anyone’s game and give a backhand at the end of your drivel.

I haven't come across these, but I don't deny their existence. I just wrote down what I've come across myself. I already agreed with you on this point.

Pretty sophisticated but still just forum sliding bullshit.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. But as you demonstrated just now, you are not interested in engaging in good faith. You are still stuck on the "social media bad" train, when I already agreed with you on that. This is exactly what I mean by mudslinging. People just want to repeat certain phrases again and again, progressively louder and louder while vomiting ad hominems left and right.

It isn't "forum sliding" if the topic is indeed that complex. But as I stated before, you are not ready to move on from "social media bad". Hence, how can one engage in good faith in such a scenario?

Criticizing the ruling class is extremely important to a functioning society. Baby Boomers are largely the ones in power around the world. The largest voting bases of all conservative movements are baby boomers. I wouldn't mind if the generations that follow criticize us for stuff. That's just how stuff works.

Instant gratification from unknown sources under the direction of a 9 year old is a serious problem and people like you who pretend its not are probably part of the generation damaged most by it.

Eh, I have to agree begrudgingly. I remember having this discussion with someone I know about mental health post smartphones. We came across a few studies tracking mental health of adolescents for the past few decades. To compensate for lack of data (due to lack of mental health awareness, yadayadayada), they tried to inductively predict this missing data using various factors. The interesting part however was the increase in mental health issues in the early 2010s. Now of course, while their data might be quite error prone, I think it makes sense logically.

  1. More exposure to fked up world events (like Gaza, Ukraine, lack of climate action and so on) leads to one being depressed of course.
  2. In my experience, faceless trolls are much worse than in person bullies.

So yeah, I do agree with you. The situation is not black and white. Unfortunately, the uncool boomers (sorry for the lame term,-I use it to not generalize all boomers) do not see it that way. Banning smartphones in schools is one of the stupidest things to do. Uncool boomers purely blame smartphones, and almost always engage dialog in bad faith. It's mudslinging basically.

Now, if I present a nuanced opinion here, it won't be considered at all. Essentially similar to the "leftist long paragraph" meme. Therefore, to combat this, mudslinging back is most effective. At least it drives home some idea (in this case, the idea of walkable city design). Is this bad faith? Yea, unfortunately. But does it make sense to try to have a good faith dialog with someone who doesn't want to have one?

Have you actually met trans people? Have you talked to them about their childhoods?

Uncool boomers be like: "It's the damn phones", when they've created cities where 2+ tons of metal can freely roam around wherever they like. They've created cities where kids cannot go anywhere on their own without being run over by these said metal beasts.

But ofc uncle Kevin, "It's dem damn phones. Can you at least look at me instead of scrolling through Facebook when I'm talking to you?"

WOAH HI!!! YOU'RE AMAZING!!! <3

I don't know the guy hehe. Also, sorry for calling you miserable.

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Not necessarily. Fine-tuning models can solve this issue to a great degree. The model's behavior is largely dependent on its training data. If it has generic training data, it's going to produce generic images.

See Corridor crew's anime experiment. They managed to solve this issue to a great degree in their second version. It's quite cool!

Right... But in this assumption of yours, you just attacked THE VOICE of a real guy. Something that is so fundamental to one's identity... So many people have insecurities about themselves, which may also include their voice. Not nice to just randomly shoot someone down cuz u were angry today, eh?

I'm really excited for this. This way, converting my favourite webtoons to full blown animations won't be that difficult (in the sense that it won't cost millions of dollars). Really exciting times!

It is to be seen experimentally I guess. But from what I understood, I don't really think this would be that big of an issue due to two factors:

  1. Climate change has been quite predictable in the past few decades. Therefore, assuming that it is trained on data from the past few decades, wouldn't it know how to anticipate it?
  2. In the beginning, it is kinda seen to be doing cloth sims which use physics. Here, it seems to know which calculations to prioritize and which to approximate. This results in an approximation of a physics sim while using a fraction of the resources. The most computationally expensive part of the weather models seem to be the fluid sims. The AI here seems to be able to essentially come up with a very efficient fluid sim model. I can't see how climate change can affect the physics of fluid sims and stuff. Only factors like temperature distribution and stuff would change, no?

Again, I don't really know as I'm not a meteorologist nor an expert in how this thing works (although I would like to be hehe).
