Anything but Mastodon/Activitypub, eh? These fellas rlly love sucking on corporate dicks, don’t they

It seems that LIDAR based self driving tech (the one that Waymo uses) is miles ahead than 2d camera based tech (the one that Tesla uses).

I’m really excited for this being implemented for city buses. Currently, in lower density areas, there are two choices - have smaller buses with more frequency, or have larger buses with less frequency. The problem with smaller buses is that you need more drivers. The problem with larger buses is that frequency becomes low, thus disincentivizing usage of public transit.

Self driving city buses would be really cool as driver costs would be 0. This would mean, that smaller buses/vans would be able to run at fixed routes at really high frequencies.

NOOOOO

I’m so sorry op.

Wtf is BoingBoing.net lmao

Ugh

No problem <3

Basically a democratic institution where the members are the consumers.

Why not consumer coop instead?

It’s the same here, except it’s tankies.

They think North Korea is communist utopia

Wanna bet that it was the Russians?

Fuck the Indian state and its enablers.

I don’t understand why the knee jerk reaction for everything is just “ban it”.

You want to reduce the exposure of children to predators? Moderate the platforms. We can agree that Reddit n Lemmy’s moderation is a lot better than Instagram’s moderation. Why don’t we start with that???

The biggest way predators do their predatoring is by sliding into ur DMs. You could restrict this by requiring approval for all such new DMs by a parent’s account or something. There r just so many ways that social media can be made safer for kids.

Social media is a digital townsquare. Sure, there r some malicious actors lurking about. Does that mean that kids should just be banned from this townsquare? No. The townsquare should be made safer for kids. There must be some hand-holding for kids in the beginning so that they can learn how to make the best use of this infrastructure in the future.

Governmental overreach. Good luck trying to enforce this shit.

Social media isn’t bad inherently. Addictive algorithms, violation of user privacy, etc. is bad.

Kids should be taught how to make use of social media for good. I was bullied quite a lot as a kid. Social media is what kinda brought me out of it.

Social media told 13 year old me, that it is alright to be gay. Social media is what made me interested in politics. A huge part of who I am today is because of the nice people I met online. Fuck the government for trying to take it away from others like me.

Oh… :(

Is this real? If yes, then congrats!!!

If it’s what the image says, then I’m sorry…

(Sorry, I’m just confused if you got into college or into a mental institution)

Thank you

That’s so cool! Why does this work? Could you please drop a link about this if you have one?

Depends on how you look at it. These models weren’t trained in a vacuum. They were trained on data generated by humans. They are the amalgamation of all human art throughout human history. They are a reflection of us, the way a child is a reflection of their parents.

That being said, I am very excited for art generated by collaboration between humans and these models. I for one would love Castle Swimmer (a webcomic) to be turned into an animation. Currently, no one will fund any such project. With video gen models however, I’m very positive we would get to see this.

The original author’s story is still there. Her characters are there, her dialogues are there. They’re just brought to life visually. I still find a lot of humanity in this.
