WORF: Captain, an unidentified vessel is on an intercept course.
PICARD: Send a hail, Mr. Data.
DATA: Yes sir.
DATA:
DATA: Sir, the vessel has left us on read.
PICARD: Hail them again.
DATA: The vessel has turned off read receipts, Captain. However, our sensors indicate they are still communicating with other vessels.
WORF: Outrageous! Arm photon torpedoes!
PICARD: Belay that order.
WORF: But Captain! This is a great dishonor! We can clearly see them posting but they do not respond to our hails!
PICARD: They do not owe us the emotional labor of a response, Mr. Worf.
RIKER: Mr. Data, can you check if they've made any wideband subspace vagueposts since we hailed them?
DATA: There has been one vaguepost, sir, referring to a "rando" vessel that is "obsessed" with them.
PICARD: Arm photon torpedoes.

Le truc qui me met vraiment en colère avec l’IA, c’est que c’est en train de gâcher notre capacité d’émerveillement. On ne croit plus en rien. On se méfie de tout. Toutes les belles choses de la nature ou de l’art humain deviennent suspectes parce qu’on ne sait plus ce qui est vrai. C’est terrible.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.
Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.

Generative AI will be banned in Norwegian primary schools starting next year 🔥 The Labour government justified the decision by citing a steady decline in academic achievement and fears that AI will replace learning rather than support it.

Post bird art, oops all pigeons edition
An oil painting of a standard Chicago pigeon standing in profile facing right. Pidge has a nice orange eye, green and purple iridescence on their neck, mottled gray back and tail feathers, and red feet. They are isolated on a background of basically two tones of pale green with palette knife texture effects.Oil painting of a side view of a pigeon mid-takeoff, wings extended. The majority of the bird is grays but the light on its head brings out green iridescence. There are hard white outline around the whole bird separating it from the background which is a collage of text and a couple small images from a Japanese wrestling magazine.A gouache painting of a city pigeon perched on top of some CTA signage against a blue skyAn oil painting of two regular city pigeons, one in the top left of the frame facing the viewer, and the other from the side and above heading top right, as they scuttle about on some concrete in a park looking for whatever pigeons are looking for.

It's important to note that capital makes choices that are not necessarily wise, good or efficient choices, merely ones that best advantage those who control capital. The invention of the automobile did not *have* to lead to, say, the choice to destroy minority neighborhoods to build interstates.

In 2016, calling for a ban on the development of lethal autonomous weapons was the received wisdom. In 2026, worrying about the accuracy of those weapons is laudable. Folks in tech need to stop worrying so much about model alignment and start working on their own moral alignment.
Just as most chemists and biologists have no interest in building chemical or biological weapons, most Al researchers have no interest in building Al weapons - and do not want others to tarnish their field by doing so, potentially creating a major public backlash against Al that curtails its future societal benefits. Indeed, chemists and biologists have broadly supported international agreements that have successfully prohibited chemical and biological weapons, just as most physicists supported the treaties banning space-based nuclear weapons and blinding laser weapons.
In summary, we believe that Al has great potential to benefit humanity in many ways, and that the goal of the field should be to do so. Starting a military Al arms race is a bad idea, and should be prevented by a ban on offensive autonomous weapons beyond meaningful human control.• Fully autonomous weapons. Partially autonomous weapons, like those used today in Ukraine, are vital to the defense of democracy. Even fully autonomous weapons (those that take humans out of the loop entirely and automate selecting and engaging targets) may prove critical for our national defense. But today, frontier AI systems are simply not reliable enough to power fully autonomous weapons. We will not knowingly provide a product that puts America's warfighters and civilians at risk. We have offered to work directly with the Department of War on R&D to improve the reliability of these systems, but they have not accepted this offer. In addition, without proper oversight, fully autonomous weapons cannot be relied upon to exercise the critical judgment that our highly trained, professional troops exhibit every day. They need to be deployed with proper guardrails, which don't exist today.
