They're saying it as if it were contrary to what's being claimed. The tagline says "for architecture and product design." The supported file formats are not video game formats.

What is "the new one"? The old one used AI, and this one seems to as well.

Author here: It doesn't, well at least not art-wise. All sources are attributed in https://github.com/arnegiacomo/fugleramme/blob/main/assets/a... and https://github.com/arnegiacomo/fugleramme/blob/main/assets/a...

This is much appreciated! Thanks for making this decision

From the link: "Half the point of this project is showing off some amazing public-domain natural-history illustrations. Over 800 cut-outs covering more than 400 species, every one taken from a real plate and hand-curated for this project (no art is AI-generated, though some has been retouched with AI)."

Idk what "retouched with AI" means. Does it mean they used a segmentation model to cut out the shapes, or were they shoved through an imagegen and completely recreated?

You can convict a human. What do you do when your LLM blows all your money on paperclips?

Marshall Brain really nailed it back in 2003 with Manna. https://marshallbrain.com/manna1

AI leaves humans as the limbs of the machine, with less and less thinking or comprehension required on their part.

And the less people are required to think, the less they think, the less they are able to think.

A reverse-centaur

This has already been the case with classical software. AI only stretches it further.

Yeah, it will be assembly line working all over again.

Hm, also not responding here. I don't think this thread is well-trafficked enough to have hugged it to death, but here's a PDF alternative link: https://milweesci.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/2/4/13247648/mannap...

Thanks!

He died in 2024. The domain is paid for 10 years, but the hosting probably got shut off.

"meat proxy"

Not really. One entity embedding the software into another will only account for at most a handful of downloads.

Unless Codex is vibe coded and it downloads it directly on every installation…

Didn't people find it bundled with a bunch of other things in a single runtime? Downloaded as part of a whole runtime would suggest it wasn't downloaded directly from the source.

Break expectations. Bootstrap it through an esoteric-enough system. Write an Uxn emulator in assembly targeting the cushy environment that UEFI has and you've got a system with graphics, a text editor, a spreadsheet editor, an assembler, games, and maybe even more. I have a Z80-powered email appliance that can be loaded with programs from a connected device. Whoever is breaking my trust in trust surely won't have planned for that.

but now they will via delegation to an automated analyst/systems programmer.

get ready.

the effort required for a complete infiltration has been lowered a great deal.

This automated analyst isn't going to be able to run usefully on hardware that is still otherwise useful, giving you a clear path to choke it out or identify its presence when your hello world is taking 3 months to finish compiling.

insertions can be much smaller than full blown LLMs.

simple single bit changes are enough to blast your private keys out to the ether of the public facing internet.

that big fat LLM does know how to make tentacles and eyes.

Absolutely true, but even tentacles and eyes will struggle to fit in a system compact enough. Even on larger systems, there is an upper limit on how many tentacles you can cram in something before you can't continue the facade that there are none. And an upper limit on how esoteric the tentacle is before it stops being worth it.

Minors were involved. People were responding to pictures of minors and prompting Grok to sexualize them. People were uploading their own photos of real minors and asking Grok to make modifications to them.

This is Zack.

That's reproducible, I wouldn't call it deterministic. Small, semantically meaningless changes in the input can still result in wildly different output.

That's the definition of a chaotic system (small change in initial conditions results in large, seemingly -- but not actually -- random changes in output), but it's still deterministic (same input results in same output).

I've long observed that kind of behaviour in google translate (which makes sense, they have been using ML for a long time.)

You did this when you ran into an issue with a third party. The developers building this tool, throwing them at their own APIs are significantly less likely to run into a similar issue that may inspire similar action.
