“The ranges experienced by humans” is extremely variable. My friends from hotter countries can barely handle 10°C, but are fine at 40°C, and it’s entirely the opposite for me.
I assure you that for regular use, Celsius works great. I don’t really think either is better than the other in practice (outside of chemistry), but “it’s the range people experience” is kinda bull. A 10 degree F difference from 0 to 10 is very different from 60 to 70.
Also, water freezing at 0°C (and boiling at 100°C, to a lesser degree) is quite convenient in everyday life. Just check for a minus sign and you know if it can freeze.
Aw fuck I read that so much, and then it just kept spiralling into its muscle fetish. By far the most “the writer’s poorly disguised fetish” thing I’ve read. I don’t wanna read about steroids I wanna read about regular people doing stuff the aliens find impossible and inventing shit (||Von Neumann probes||)
Sure, it’s not proof, but it gives a good starting point. Non-overfitted images would still have this effect (to a lesser extent), and this would never happen to a human. And it’s not like the prompts were the image labels, the model just decided to use the stock image as a template (obvious in the case with the painting).
Personally, I have no issue with models made from stuff obtained with explicit consent. Otherwise you’re just exploiting labor without consent.
(Also if you’re just making random images for yourself, w/e)
((Also also, text models are a separate debate and imo much worse considering they’re literally misinformation generators))
Note: if anybody wants to reply with “actually AI models learn like people so it’s fine”, please don’t. No they don’t. Bugger off. arxiv.org/pdf/2212.03860.pdf here have a source.
You do realize homophobia is still… like, a thing, right?
Also, people constantly mention or reference their own sexuality. You don’t notice it because it’s straight, but every time a male coworker mentions his wife (or the opposite) that’s an indirect reference to their sexuality. Every time the male lead kisses the female lead in a movie. Every song where a male singer sings about their girlfriend or some girl they like. There are also baby shirts that say stuff like “lady’s man”. Granted, most people also find those ehh, but they exist.
Fact is, being straight is considered “normal”, and other sexualities weren’t, and still aren’t to many people. This means that, yes, some people are gonna make a deal about it.
Some of my friends never really “came out”, because it was actually normal for them, so they never had to figure it out. For myself, I was mildly homophobic when I was a teen, which meant figuring it out was a bit of a process, so me “coming out” did mean telling my friends. Now imagine how it is for somebody who grew up in an extremely homophobic environment.
All of the queer people I know irl “make it part of their identity” just as much as you might make “being left-handed” or “being spanish” part of your identity. That is to say, it’s a fact about them they might mention occasionally when relevant, or make jokes about it, or reference the culture. But you don’t bitch about that, do you?
TLDR: your comment seems to stem from pretty complete ignorance about… well, everything you’re talking about. Please don’t be dismissive about stuff you don’t know much about, it makes you look bad and a lil’ self-centered.
