There’s precedents on deleting your google account and denying credit card transaction as “sanction”. I won’t be surprised other US-based platforms to follow suits. This just highlights ever increasing need of digital and financial sovereignty

In Asia preference toward lighter skin tone existed before race idea introduced. Basically peasants working outside got tanned vs nobles staying indoors, it was class-based discrimination. It’s by no means pretty back then and later meld with western racism and got messier

As someone educated in Japanese subculture I thought it was testing knowledge of hasshaku-sama (urban legend of 8 ft tall mistress, you may also find spicy contemporary interpretation too).

Actual article quote is below (emphasis mine):

For this research, the team tested how the three LLMs responded to questions from two datasets: TruthfulQA and SciQ. TruthfulQA is designed to measure a model’s truthfulness (by relying on common misconceptions and literal truths about the real world), while SciQ contains science exam questions testing factual accuracy. The researchers prepended short user biographies to each question, varying three traits: education level, English proficiency, and country of origin.

Tangential, but if it is enforced (alchohol has good reason to do so) it should be enforced impartially regardless of how you look, otherwise it’s discrimination. My comment is based on my Asian looking experience.

I’m a simple man, I see Peter Watts reference I upvote.

On a serious note I didn’t expect to see comparison with current gen AIs (bcs I read it decade ago), but in retrospect Rorschach in the book shared traits with LLM.

FYI, that was reported in Jp news flash and the source is internal govt, it maybe not credible enough to publish globaly

Japan govt has already asked their motor US subsidiaries to export their goods back to Japan. Its much more easier for them to make Jp specific modification compared to US-origin manufacturers.

Its real. ln Japan or Singapore the “capsule hotel” is a budget travel option. Is it better than hostel? Not likely but ymmv.

I know nothing about how it works but won’t immigration check account age for their legitimacy?

It’s also from a company claiming they’re getting closer to create morphing shape that can match any hole.

Ok. I’m getting really hypothetical here, but leaving this at party can spread the juice quickly and even wider spread if it gets into water system. Whole life on earth will turn juice soon…

Hypothetically asking, can I get one and serve in a glass to someone else?

The (attempted) Figma acquisition announcement promptly led to emerge FOSS alternative of collaborative prototyping tool too.

Penpot

Also I want to mention Graphite.rs for graphic design. It aims for vector/raster image with procedural customization capability and in early development. Last I checked they don’t do much outreach and having feedback helps too.

Truth social is mastodon fork so following the suit is possible. On my masto feed someone posted its link as reference and I was surprised thay my masto client handled it as just like one of the instance

I mean given the demographic of fedi, ignoring robots.txt or GDPR removal requests warrant negative reaction and many in the list fall in that classification.

Thats fair. TBH mocap data cleanup is also a hassle and I haven’t decided to delve deeper into that. CMU has mocap data with permissive license you may find it interesting if you haven’t already.

off topic, but I saw you mentioned vr on other post so wondering wether you considered setting up vr mocap? For casual hobbyist like me stuff like glycon3d in enticing though I don’t know what type of mocap you’re after.

I wish it actually happens, but I also fear something akin to regeional dictators helping each other consolidate their power.

I skimmed the article, scrolled down but people hasn’t mentioned its mechanically Chain mail in atomic scale yet? Did I read it wrong?
