However when the wall is moved away, Link's camera doesn't immediately jump to its original position, instead only slowly recovers when there is user input. 712319

Reposted by SwingTheVineellie lockhart (she/they) @eleanor.lockhart.contact · 02/09/2025but those early, "unbaked" language models were *basically* produced by applying math to various subsets of human generated data about humans. nobody was "designing them to fool people" because they weren't for public release or consumption, they were pure research products 1254
Reposted by SwingTheVineellie lockhart (she/they) @eleanor.lockhart.contact · 01/09/2025For the record, I do have enough technical knowledge to say that generative models neither contain nor reproduce their training data. I know a lot of people have anecdotes to the contrary, but they simply do not do that. You’re lying to yourself if you think they do. 1122
Reposted by SwingTheVineellie lockhart (she/they) @eleanor.lockhart.contact · 01/09/2025to kind of sum this up, I think that the role of generative AI in the future is going to be for filling in elements that, for whatever reason, the creator wants to be in the work but does not feel the audience needs to feel were crafted by human hands 1152
Reposted by SwingTheVineellie lockhart (she/they) @eleanor.lockhart.contact · 01/09/2025my conclusions here are in many ways bummers! here's the thing I was trying to say: I think fewer people in the future are going to bother learning to make art,or write,or make music,or code,in traditional ways in the future because of generative work. this will make lots of stuff less interesting. 1203
Reposted by SwingTheVineellie lockhart (she/they) @eleanor.lockhart.contact · 31/08/2025the gist of what I said was that I think that, barring some kind of legal outcome that heavily restricts the availability of generative models, I think they will become extremely common as part of creative pipelines, and fewer people will learn skills they might otherwise have. 1252
Reposted by SwingTheVineMarc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 29/08/2025The thing is that traditional troubleshooting skills still have to be learned with experience. LLMs definitely help, but can only complement real troubleshooting skills. If all you do is ask questions with insufficient context and can't use your brain to guide it toward a good result, it won't work 131
