  • Is that really that different?

    The article doesn’t go into any length to explain the technology. But assuringly its just an encrypted passcode created with an algorithm using measured face data.

    Crafting a secure reliable personal id based on pure visual appearance has been tricky and when this came out i disliked it but it was clearly a feat.

    What is the story here?

    Google trusting this technology?

    Them adding age verification to it?

    I am just confused what makes this enough of something to write/post it.



  • The question i have,

    The image is digital when it is uploaded. There is a fixed assortiment of pixels only differentiated by the contrast of shades of grey.

    The instructions say to colorise.

    In my head this means every pixel needs to obtain a color value, while still matching contrast with pixels around it.

    What ai does instead is provide an entirely newly constructed image made up from entirely new pixels which show “google deepdream” patterns.

    This is from the final result where the author was “happier” with the result and asked what i assume is an llm to not invent information that isn’t there. (Zoom in)

    This is not what i would call a colorisation, it’s a colorised re-creation. I imagine a real colorisation as simply a layer of color values that combine with the exact pixels of the digital scan. Disabling that layer (using photo software) should return the exact digital original and turning the final colorisation into a black and white filter should still leave it nearly identical to the original. Anything else is a recreation for fun and fantasy purposes only.

    To vent, i am so glad we convinced someone in the family not to use the “ai enhanced” version for a loved ones official funeral picture.











  • It doesn’t need to be, there is reasonable proof that humans and other mammals naturally synthesises (trace amounts off) dmt, which are presumed to be used and broken down incredibly quickly. We still don’t know why, what its used for or have hard proof where its produced (pineal gland is main suspect for having all ingredients in theory)

    In theory something could trigger an effect that stops it from breaking down or produce it at a faster rate, therefore triggering psychedelics effects with out the consumed substance containing anything psychedelic itself.

    Dmt is known for seeing (machine) elves, does not sound that far away from seeing mini people.

    The official Minecraft website has an article about a public, private server run by reporters without borders.

    https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/uncensored-library

    https://www.uncensoredlibrary.com/en

    For obvious reasons many copies of this server And predecessors that existed/may operate within oppressive areas do not advertise their existence online.

    Wiki entry of minecraft china edition.

    https://minecraft.wiki/w/China_Edition

    Tap for spoiler
    • Free to download

      • Valid Chinese citizen ID required to play
    • Friends system, with live text chat support

      • Text content in-game may be moderated, such as chat, Book and QuillsWritten BooksSignsCommand Blocks, renamed items (via Anvils) and mobs (via renamed Spawn Eggs or Name Tags)
      • Moderation is also applied to in-launcher content, such as community posts, comments on contents, and private messages. Rental servers and virtual LAN games are not allowed to have names altogether, instead being referred to by a numerical ID

    The argument about minecraft chat being inherently insecure is a straw-man at best. A private server, whitelisted for my own household that runs on hardware that i own is just as secure as any other speech that happens in my living room.

    There is no reason for microsoft to have the ability to steal logs to moderate it. And this is why almost every respectable server i know uses plugins to block that shit.

    The one where any random player can report another for any reason and have a portion of the chatlog (without consent of any others) send to Microsoft.

    For reference i have some members on my adult server who like to joke sell sugar as cocaine. There is no info on what actually counts to ban-able, it might just be ai that decides at this point.

    Also there used to be secret library Minecraft servers in china with banned books and thats why there is a separate chinese Minecraft edition now with social media features and all players are identified with all chats monitored.

    “Just don’t type anything private” is not an argument i expect seeing on a privacy community either. Sounds a lot like “if you have nothing to hide”
