Like a double negative.

It can get hard to follow after a while :)

How about a triple-play, damning with damn damnation?

It's a thing inherent to diffusion models I think, a kind of uniformity of content across the image.

The similarity may be partly the image model's fault – especially if it's been post-trained/distilled towards performance, correctness and "quality" (for some value of "quality" anyway) which inevitably occurs at the expense of creativity and variation.

But I think it might be more about the LLM's lack of creativity in coming up with the prompt for the image (or "embellishing" a user's prompt), or directly the embedding vector if the LLM is itself the image model's text encoder. Then whatever the image gen outputs is simply an instance of the GIGO principle. It would be interesting to test whether similar cliches and motifs also occur if you ask the model to create an SVG rather than a raster image.

Kind of like analogue TV. Sure it worked and was simple, but consumed some prime spectral real estate.

The other sort of network, ironically.

That's the essence of it, I suppose. Cheap walls of text.

Edit: although another quote comes to mind- "Quantity has a quality of its own."

I remember a company that sold or used bitcoin mining rigs as swimming pool heaters.

There was one that tried to sell them as free heating for the elderly.

It's useful because if an issue is difficult, both levels can disavow responsibility.

in german there is a word for this

Sry to be pedantic (it is german after all) but,

"responsibility table tennis" would be a better fit.

Competence in english translates to the skill side of the word

> in german there is a word for this

I am not surprised.

Magnificent!

That helps with dogfooding the VM experience, I suppose.

The other systems see less wear and tear as well ... Brakes don't get as hot, transmissions don't have clutches shedding material, and so on.

Always worth studying 1980s USSR.

Its really interesting to me to read books from the 80s set in the 2000s.

The Soviet Union was there chugging along, a monolithic and unstoppable foil to Murica! Everyone things nothing ever changes until it does. I expect that to be largely the same here if it's going to happen?

That said, I doubt we get a civil war, a more effective coup maybe? Or Collapse? But a civil war seems unlikely to me. We kind of already have lived through a revolution in the last couple years but people don't really see it.
