SSSniperWolf doxxes jacksfilms (youtu.be)

tl;dw: since 2022, YouTube content creator jacksfilms has been in an ongoing feud with popular react channel SSSniperWolf. he accuses her of freebooting (ripping videos and reposting them without credit) and has made a second channel reacting to SSSniperWolf’s videos and parodying them, both to draw attention to the issue and...

to be honest i’m not entirely sure what the draw is either. many reaction videos are based around a theme, like “school tiktoks i watch instead of doing homework”, so maybe it’s an easy way to find more-or-less quality content about a particular subject without having to actually look for it. or maybe people just watch for the funny faces, given that SSSniperWolf’s audience tends to be very young.

i do like “[expert] reacts to…” videos where an expert does a thorough analysis of some media featuring their field of expertise, like “Traçeur reacts to Mirror’s Edge” or “Martial artist reacts to Avatar: The Last Airbender” or “Chemist reacts to Breaking Bad”, but that is an entirely different thing than freebooting because it’s thoughtful commentary that’s transformative and adds to the video

lmao nice catch, i’ll edit the date

Which task would be ideal for an LLM such as chatGPT?

Here’s some context for the question. When image generating AIs became available, I tried them out and found that the results were often quite uncanny or even straight up horrible. I ended up seeing my fair share of twisted fingers, scary faces and mutated abominations of all kinds....

it’s in the name: generative pre-trained transformer. the one thing ChatGPT and GPT-3/3.5/4 are truly good at is transforming data. it can restructure paragraphs to have a different flow, take class notes and make flashcards out of them (that’s how i use ChatGPT), or even take non-textual data and potentially present it in textual format if trained right

take a look at this post for a workaround

even the monitors are “smart” now. have you seen Samsung’s latest computer monitors?

Gov. Abbott is now putting barriers along Texas border with New Mexico (news.yahoo.com)

Isn’t this against the US constitution? Razor wire along the state border and checkpoints on roads that cross the state border are kind of nuts. I read a comment joking that the wire and road checkpoints were to keep Texan women from escaping to New Mexico, which got a bitter laugh out of me.

not explicitly. the Constitution’s Privileges and Immunities clause is written assuming freedom of interstate travel, but the Framers thought the right to travel was so fundamental and obvious it did not need explicit enumeration. the right to travel was enumerated in article 4 of the Articles of Confederation however and the Supreme Court has upheld it several times on that basis

that’s true. it’s not super in-depth, but it’s a pretty good introduction in my opinion

Israel-Palestine megathread for the remainder of the weekend

the front page is now like half articles on this currently, so it’s probably time for a megathread because none of us want to keep track of 12 threads on this subject and all the resulting comments. only major subsequent developments (for example, boots on the ground; pronunciations by governments; that sort of stuff) will get...

‘The Onion’ Stands With Israel Because It Seems Like You Get In Less Trouble For That - The Onion posts absolutely fire satire (safire?) once again

it’s all because of US propaganda. the US media has tricked their readers into thinking that being anti-Israel is being antisemitic, and since 9/11 Americans tend to view Muslims as subhuman. and of course it doesn’t help that the US send tons of military aid to Israel every year

ah, but Netanyahu created his own enemy. he funded Hamas to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state, promoting it from a small extremist faction to the dominant force in Palestinian politics

@salarua@sopuli.xyz avatar

i’m not denying that Hamas is a terrorist group. i think they’re evil too. what i’m saying is that Netanyahu funded them and propelled them to power, putting his own people at risk to further his political goals

so that’s what they put in the ChatGPT server cooling systems

i have to admit i wrote it in like ten minutes because i was Inspired and didn’t think too much about the symbolism, but i think it gets the message across and i’m really glad you like it! the message was something i’ve been trying to put into words for a while but found it really difficult to do before i made a poem out of it. it’s funny how some ideas are naturally suited to expression through poetry

New York’s 18th District Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY) called the action an “absolute disgrace” and said it was antisemitic because New York City has a large Jewish population.

ah yes, the Democratic Classic: conflating the government of Israel with all Jews
