On correct but wrong responses
For a research project I am currently evaluating all kinds of generative AI models (mostly for visual artifacts but some text based ones as well). There also is somewhat of a push at my employer to use those systems more because of “efficiency”. So we all know that LLMs fabricate facts meaning: They produce text […]

A color photo of a small body of water perfectly reflecting cumulus clouds in the sky above. The blues of the water and sky are very intense. There are some coniferous trees to the left and in the distance. There are dried grasses around the edges of the water.

Mexican cotton picker. Southern San Joaquin Valley, California

#mexican #california #nativeamerican #dorothealange #southerncalifornia #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017763282/
The image is a black and white photograph depicting a young Native American woman. She appears to be in the Southern San Joaquin Valley, California during cotton picking season as suggested by text annotations on the photo that read "Dorothea Lange 1938." The girl has dark hair parted in the middle and wears a simple greyish-brown shirt with suspenders across her chest. She is holding or leaning against large burlap sacks typical of agricultural work, indicating she may be engaged in cotton picking labor during this historical period. Her expression is serious and reflective as she gazes directly at the camera, suggesting an awareness of being photographed which was uncommon for subjects during that time due to photography's intrusive nature. The environment around her appears dry with sparse vegetation, consistent with a Southern California landscape.

Perhaps not the biggest joke, but it lands. #tech
An image with a yellow background featuring black, bold, stencil-style text that reads: “THE BIGGEST JOKE ON MANKIND IS THAT COMPUTERS HAVE STARTED ASKING HUMANS TO PROVE THAT THEY AREN’T A ROBOT.” The text humorously references CAPTCHA tests, where humans must verify they are not automated bots.

Some would say Mark Zuckerberg's actions this week accomplished little of value.

But I'd disagree.

Just look at the 138,900 cat photos that are now on Pixelfed 😹
