i_am_a_cardboard_box@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Guilty as chargedEnglish16·6 months agoI sleep so much better after I started doing this. Seriously, try it out for like a week/month and you’ll never go back, I swear
i_am_a_cardboard_box@lemmy.worldto aww@lemmy.world•Someone got some new sweatshirtsEnglish1·6 months agoOmg I know that brand, I gave it as a present to a friend of mine last weekend. Did you get a matching hoodie as well? The pictures of the dog/human combos both wearing the same colours are just astonishingly perfect.
i_am_a_cardboard_box@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the origin of aliens looking like humans? Why and when did it become the norm?8·6 months agoIn my opinion, it’s always been about determinism and convergent evolution. Determinism states that if the cards were reshuffled and evolution were to take place again from the beginning, more or less the same would happen. There wouldn’t be sentient octopuses or hive mind ants controlling the planet, because there are simple evolutionary pressures giving rise to features that eventually lead to more or less bipedal apes.
This hooks into convergent evolution. This is about the fact that features like wings and eyes were so successful in terms of evolution they actually evolved independently of each other multiple times. Eyes evolved in different lineages and evolutionary pathways around 65 times during the history of earth. This indicates that simple evolutionary pressures (like needing to look around) will always end up with something that is a lens based retinal pigmented organ. This deterministic view of evolution leads many to believe that on another planet that looks like earth, inhabitants will look like us due to the rules and constraints of evolution.
Fuck that scale bar though. The decimal separator makes it look like the human hair is 10cm thick.

i_am_a_cardboard_box@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The first GPT-4-class AI model anyone can download has arrived: Llama 405BEnglish111·1 year agoKind of petty from Zuck not to roll it out in Europe due to the digital services act… But also kind of weird since it’s open source? What’s stopping anyone from downloading the model and creating a web ui for Europe users?

Me too, though unfortunately I systematically ignore search results with the ad mark, so it’s not really helpful…

i_am_a_cardboard_box@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•AI Is Building Highly Effective Antibodies That Humans Can’t Even ImagineEnglish8·2 years agoAnd another side note, this is nothing new. Researchers have been doing this for ten years in this and other area’s, for instance to design new antibiotics against resistant strains. AI has just been slapped on here to make it sound cutting edge, which it isn’t.
And this is why they’re absolutely winning. Why are they dominating the entire media landscape and are we just sitting back? Is it only because an average lie is easier to believe in than the difficult truth? Or should we become more angry at them?
