People dislike AI music for different reasons. Some people think it's just unethical.

I would seriously consider if you've developed an imaginary caricature in your mind that you apply to people you don't know. Further, I would consider if any living person actually lives up to it.

Your objective points were addressed. Any response to your subjective point "Everything about this screams X" would itself be subjective and not conducive to productive conversation.

Not from me, since I didn't claim that all closed systems are cells.

Or... Life requires a closed system which requires a boundary. The boundary and its contents is considered a cell?

Yes, the anecdote is not a good example. "The bull is dead" is tragic but irrelevant. It would be like "Milestone 4 missed. Joel is gone". Who's Joel? Is he on vacation? Did he quit? Was he fired for causing the missed milestone? Is he dead?

A set of hieroglyphs for a formally designed and recognized language that is in use to communicate is one thing. Endless bits of arbitrary clip art is another.

The system exists. It's text.

I bet it's fatigue from the endless hype. It's easy to fall into a routine of dismissing everything that claims to be new and interesting.

0xBA5ED — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 20:23:31 +0000

Natural selection constrains the possible variation for each iteration so only a miniscule subset of possibilities is explored. That doesn't sound very brute-forcey to me.

If not for the heuristic of natural selection.

Well there is something rather satisfying about partitioning.

So what, by your estimation, are LLMs best for? Because they seem good for serving up relevant bits of information from vast amounts of information. Why do you think it's the worst thing they are good at?

That's a very ungenerous interpretation. But why take offense without knowing if the comment's recipient took offense?

Mine was "deauthenticate". Very surprising it isn't considered a legitimate word.

Let me guess: Nobody has access to the data because it is encrypted from literally everyone so there will never be any conflicts of interest ever, right?

The funny thing is, the reporter successfully embarrassed the state, then the state embarrassed itself further in response.

>coordinated unauthentic or disingenuous skepticism

There is certainly some of this happening as with every issue, but echo chambers can easily emerge and sustain themselves without the need for coordinated bad actors. I believe the larger issue is simply lack of education rather than bad guys doing bad things.

Looks attached to that mesh and the mesh was attached by some kind of adhesive. You can see the fur it took with it.
