Well it would be great if more of their models were ‘freeware’ too.
Microsoft just loves to have their cake, eat it… and not share it.

It’s because they use every dirty trick for views.
Stuffing it into your feed unsolicited, autoplaying it, promoting it everywhere because it’s an engaging post, spamming push notifications, whatever. Not to speak of a swarm of bots liking it.
It’s probably as inflated as can be without being obviously legally negligent.
Because the election is a popularity contest, and name recognition is everything.
And he’s the incumbent. He is president right now.
I don’t think it’s even about candidates, but just focusing on appearances.
That’s what grabs attention and makes money. Even the robotic social media feed algorithms know this.
I then joked that I half expected a woman in a red, white, and blue bikini holding up the round number between each question.
That’s the next debate.
Trump’s idea, until he backtracks on stage and says he ‘never knew this woman.’ And Biden’s team goes along with it, thinking it will be a distraction, and somehow Biden blurts this out and makes it backfire.
CNN can’t help themselves. They need to compete with social media I guess.
I dunno, that debate just made me sad.
Oh, they will play this debate in clips forever.
We live in an age of YouTube and tiktok shorts.
We live in a world where Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho is more electable than the candidates we have.
I figured Idiocracy was prescient, but it’s coming true awfully fast.
It’s like a cherry on top.
Or anyone period.
It’s not a hyper personalized model of users running on GPUs.
The irony here is most AI is “mundane” and not diffusion or LLM AI.
For instance… the “AI” X is using to produce feeds ingest posts, serve ads and such.
X, Facebook and so on are the real villains here, and Mastadon, Lemmy, and (I guess?) Bluesky are the heroes, skipping all that attention optimization nonsense.
No, I never meant for it to be. I just wanted to stay alive and not give covid to someone else like, you know, someone sane.
But alas I didn’t want it to be political, but it was. I could assert that all I want, and it doesn’t change the community I had to interact with.
I dunno. I felt judged whenever I was walking around wearing a mask. One time I put one on when some guy walked up to me when I was walking my dog, and it kinda started an argument. A tow truck driver literally told me masks were government control devices before he jumped our car.
I felt like I was masking alone sometimes, like I was offending the public for doing it.
Just because that’s absurd doesn’t mean masses of people didn’t see masking as political. To me, it was kinda hard to ignore.
It was a late night comment in bad taste, yeah.
But as a devil’s advocate, it was just my observation of where I live in the US. I was trying to convery the general mood around me, and it was very toned down from what my neighbors actually said and did at the height of the pandemic. For reference, my neighbor had an anti mask party when covid was raging, and they were very liberal for this neighborhood… it still kind of boggles my mind.
I meant to present it as something absurd, not an opinion that I thought was reasonable.

What is the bot using? ChatGPT?
I think this is a case where it’s trying to sugarcoat the summary because the rhetoric is too violent.
Which is really fascinating… Here we have a possible next president of the united states, using rhetoric so extreme it’s literally triggering llm guardrails. That’s so messed up.
thanks to the whole reincarnation thing it’d presumably be difficult for the avatar to suddenly become evil since every previous avatar would screech at them and for all we know they could just force the avatar state to send the body to its death and exiting the avatar state just before death.
There’s an ATLA comic that kind of refutes this, where Aang just straight up shuts out Roku. It’s… not the best comic.
Anyway, I think the idea is that the Avatar is fundamentally the same soul reincarnating, the same empathetic petty thief that stood up for anyone that was oppressed. That’s just part of their nature, sometimes to a fault. Even Avatars with a screwed up childhood like Kyoshi and Korra turn out that way.
The mitigation is often the plot, where their power isn’t particularly useful to solve their problems. A poignant example is when Korra just turns herself into Zaheer to save the Air Nomads, fully expecting to die (though the gravity is not very explicit since it’s a kids show, as is true across both TV shows).
, and ONE person is effectively just a god,
Another thing I find amusing is that “common” people just treat the Avatar as some random joe, with lines like “Avatar, huh? We still have one of those?” or Bolin’s grandma who clearly holds more reverence for the Earth Queen than the Avatar.
As far as fantasy series go, I think it does a good job of making all the Beautiful Special People feel mundane.
Heh, Korra is literally this, but being royal was a total coincidence. And I guess you could say she “reset” the reincarnation bloodline.
And I guess she subverts it a little too because she finds out so young, and is not shy about it.
And Ozai played with this too, deliberately marrying the descendent (Ursa) of a super special Poo Person (Avatar Roku) in hopes of producing superior children. And it kind of worked.
More I read, the more predictable Israeli politics seems.
The outcome always seems to be “what’s most beneficial for Netanyahu’s survival.”
And in this case, its preserving the status quo since he needs that for a coalition, I guess?
