If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

Excellent thread! There *are* rewards for being A Good Guy Who Speaks Up even if they are not immediately obvious or publicly bestowed. First, integrity is its own reward. Maybe you didn’t save the world or change hearts & minds. But if you held the line on not making it worse, that’s something.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Finished Half Body, Fully Painted commission of Ulysses! Here he is with this button down shirt open, completely exposing his chest and stomach. His breasts are slightly covered by the shirt still, and his hairy stomach peers above the belt of his pants. He has a defined nose, with slicked back hair and a streak of gray on the sides. He holds his hand up like a claw, and it is covered in blood. Blood stains the corner of his mouth above his chin scars and drips of blood fall down his chest. A few sparkles glitter by his head.

Da ich in meiner Timeline dem neuen Buch von @jamessullivan.bsky.social noch viel zu wenig begegne, weise ich einfach noch einmal darauf hin - es erzählt davon, sich selbst in schweren Zeiten treu zu bleiben, mit einer der für mich anrührendsten Hauptfiguren unter James A. Sullivans Protagonisten.

Foto: Auf beigefarbenem Hintergrund liegt das Buch "Das Lied der letzten Reise" von James A. Sullivan. Das Cover zeigt eine menschliche Gestalt, die mit Pelzmütze und Umhang gebeugt dasteht, und einen sitzenden Fuchs, beide von hinten, neben einer Art altmodischem Wohnwagen. Im Hintergrund sind dramatische Wolken, ein herbstlich rot belaubter Baum und neben diesem ein fliegender Drache zu erkennen.

Large language models are not reasoning machines. They’re plausibility engines. It’s not just that they don’t test their outputs to make sure they’re correct or logical, or that they fail to do so in certain instances. They can’t, and they’ll never be able to on their own. They can only assess which answers are probable, based on the data on which the models have been trained. And that holds true whether they’re trained on the full breadth of human output or only on peer-reviewed scientific articles. It’s baked into the way they operate.
