It's extremely common to (1) never really look at all your dataโ€”there's just too much!โ€”and (2) to start with someone else's pre-trained modelโ€”it's too expensive to train from scratch!โ€”with no way to know on what data it was trained.

Genuinely horrified by this thread since to me "unreachable via text" and "very stable" (in both the woman's features and the gore theme) means there's a good chance that there's a lot of unlabeled images in the dataset depicting the abuse of one specific woman.

๐Ÿงต: I discovered this woman, who I call Loab, in April. The AI reproduced her more easily than most celebrities. Her presence is persistent, and she haunts every image she touches. CW: Take a seat. This is a true horror story, and veers sharply macabre.

So Springer now wants us to hawk our own publications, and offers us 30% commission on those sales of our work that WE make? Cool.

I guess just doing the research, writing, reviewing, and editing wasnโ€™t enough? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

And maybe you could use Ruby's method call or block syntax to hack parentheses or curly braces into your DSL?

Show thread

You could probably define a function which within its block argumentt overrides the kernel method_missing, so sentences don't need a set starting word.

Show thread

An object with a BNF grammar and an evaluation function, which feeds its method_missing to a shift/reduce parser and returns itself, except when the full input is consumed, when it passes the resulting tree to the evaluation function, and returns the result.

Show thread

Please, someone tell me not to do this, I don't have the handwidth to spare.

Show thread

If you write a parser as a Ruby object that consumes its method_missing arguments, I guess you could just do full blown NLP or define any context-free grammar as a DSL?

This is an astonishingly important story from @jburnmurdoch@twitter.com. Our suddenly-diminished labour force is an immediate, dangerous drag on UK prosperity. It's a hypothesis, but if NHS decay is the reason, this is THE issue of the decade on.ft.com/3IYrtgP
