The opossum from Over The Hedge

Yikes

I agree with the other comments, but wanted to add how deepfakes work to show how simple they are, and how much less information they need than LLMs.

Step 1: Basically you take a bunch of photos and videos of a specific person, and blur their faces out.

Step 2: This is the hardest step, but still totally feasable for a decent home computer. You train a neural network to un-blur all the faces for that person. Now you have a neural net that’s really good at turning blurry faces into that particular person’s face.

Step 3: Blur the faces in photos/videos of other people and apply your special neural network. It will turn all the blurry faces into the only face it knows how, often with shockingly realistic results.

Me too!

Once found a whole functioning pc (minus ram and the hard drive) at a thrift store for $3. My guess is it came from an office, and when they plugged it in, and when it didn’t work, they assumed it was junk. Actual value of the parts was like $300.

that is a swealtering take if I’ve ever seen one

Some do

Heisenberg

Those sound like good enough reasons to me

I’ll also play the harmonica but worse

Please heed the warning!! I showed this to everyone I know at work, and they all dissolved into dust :((

I literally do not care about the banana industry

Detectorists is perfect in every way. Incredibly chill with dry humor.

How many TFLOPS does the human brain do?

same thing, nerd

Well from a hardware perspective, pretty much every tech product is built on the back of horrifying amounts of labor exploitation.

Also in some cases components will contain gelatin, which isn’t vegan.

For software? Well I sacrifice and goat and feed it to the machine before every git commit I make, so that’s probably not vegan either.

Emdashes might also be a sign that the commenter is a nerd
