that’s why they say “all cops” and not “some cops”
The Minneapolis Police Department has declared tonight’s protest outside a downtown hotel an unlawful assembly, calling it a public nuisance, and ordered the crowd to disperse. bit.ly/3Yu1KW3

It's been 20 years since people thought it was funny to put Scatman music in SM64 YouTube videos. To celebrate, I've made a #sm64coopdx mod where you can now bappa bada boop as Scatman himself as 2006 kids did.

Training on your own assets without developing your own model is a massive waste of time by the way. Unless you have created the AI model yourself, you have absolutely no idea what data was used to train it to be able to function as a usable model to begin with. It is still using plagiarism.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

Any studio that says they're only using their own assets for an A.I. model is lying to you, likely intentionally.
Generative A.I. models require an insane amount of existing work to create anything that looks new and decent. Categorizing said data would take years.

I cannot stress this enough: this is not possible
in a literal technological sense: you cannot train an AI and expect even comprehensible results with under ~1 million pieces of data, nobody can supply all that with the variance needed. You can only achieve it through wanton scraping

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.

The main point here is that you should leave Twitter, but I also find it weird that, oh I dunno, companies like Visa and Mastercard don't find this kind of thing to be damaging to their brand.
Hours after an ICE agent killed Renee Nicole Good, Elon Musk’s chatbot was undressing her.
"What other wardrobe malfunctions can I fix for you?" Grok said to the account that requested the deepfake, adding a grinning emoji.
