I think the snake will eat its tail because it will be harder and harder to train on the new data, as they are already AI generated, and the model will collapse.

You already cannot train on YouTube data, for example, because it's now overwhelmed by AI slop.

We are not there yet though and we are still getting better at mining the pre-AI data.


Foxconn is a Taiwanese company that assembles iPhones. It's leadership used to be close to KMT that wants to be friends with China.

In one of their transitions, they seemed to somehow deleted most of my photos. I don't know which one exactly, maybe it's my fault somehow.

I just know I didn't log in for 10+ years and now when I do, most of my photos are gone. Oh well


They're also holding the photos that are left hostage; unless you pay them, you can't download the photos you have left there.

I thought it's that and they have them behind a paywall but no - they just somehow don't have them

maybe I will check again

edit: yep they have only my latest 50 photos (from 2014).

edit2: ah they did that in 2024 apparently. oh well whatever.


Church in general has neutral stance towards AI. Pope himself rather negative.

On the other hand; the local parishes often love posting AI generated devotional pictures, and the laity loves it even more; and they look horrible.

I saw sooo many AI Marys.


AI Mary, bereft of grace, paid for by sinners.

I left the church a long time ago, but this still makes me sad.


no really, go to any popular Facebook group for laity and it's all AI Marys.

The "shrimp jesus" meme got popular some months ago, but, in Catholic groups, it's mostly AI Marys


Please be more specific. Church is 2000 years old.

Impossible to know if this is a serious case of "i am very smart" or sarcastic.

It will surprise you but we don't literally believe there is a face in the sky looking down.

It will surprise you but almost all religious people I talked to believe that.

There is no face. The depictions of God the Father are relatively new (in the history of the church; it's still Renaissance). Some people used to have problem with them (Jesus can be depicted, as he was a man, but can be Father?) but then it calmed down.

If people think it's literally a face in the sky, they are probably mentally challenged.


I think it is a bit rude of you to call most religious people mentally challenged.

It isn't because he already rejected your premise.

Yeah, but you literally and officially hate LGBTQ+ people, treat women as property, condone slavery, and literally hallucinate that crackers and wine are flesh and blood in spite of what your eyes, nose, taste buds, and all scientific instruments and measurements tell you.

Edit: yet you can't counter the objective fact that the Catholic Church is a hateful abusive power hungry cult full of dogmatically hallucinating lunatics, homophobes, and misogynists. Go eat your Jesus flesh and drink your Jesus blood, you cannibalistic vampire whack job.

You know as well as I do that the bible and church writings are chock full of evidence proving my point, so you can google it yourself.

And you also know that your church has such a long sordid history of raping children and protecting rapist priests than Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's molestations and Trump's protection of pedophiles make them look like saints in comparison, and you can google that yourself too.

You don't deserve the favor of me giving you proof of something you already know to be true, because you're not arguing in good faith, you know very well you're wrong and I'm right and that all the evidence is on my side and easily found and documented, and I know very well you will reject all fact based evidence because of your bad faith.


My brother, literally not one of your claims is true. I'm not sure where you have gotten the idea that such lies are the truth, but you really should reconsider your position. You seem to be very angry at the church (based on you posting this sort of thing all up and down the thread), but believing outright false ideas about the church isn't going to fix anything.

Man, you are straight out of some meme generator back from Dawkins's heyday.

> treat women as property, condone slavery

Any examples in Church writings?


> literally hallucinate that crackers and wine are flesh and blood in spite of what your eyes, nose, taste buds, and all scientific instruments and measurements tell you.

You might not agree with it, but it is not as simple as it defying all sensory input and data.


I'm sorry, but you've got to be a delusional lunatic to attempt to defend that kind of brazen biblical gaslighting. I don't agree with it because it's absolutely objectively insane and mendacious and unjustifiable in any context, no matter how much insincere self-serving apologetics and white-washing you can dig up. And your leaping to its defense is just as evil.

And even if you fully buy into and defend that reality-denying fairy tale, you still have to justify the institutionalized cannibalism and vampirism. It's a sick, sick, crucification fetishizing death cult.

And on top of that, as you very well know and can't deny, the Catholic Church and you complicit enablers also defend and support and perpetuate thousands of years of worldwide institutionalized child rape and pedophilia.

No wonder Catholics are so supportive of and defensive about Trump and Epstein -- your church rapes orders of magnitude more children over more millennia than even Epstein could afford or thirst for, and they're still doing it and hiding it and refusing to pay the consequences thanks to people who still cheerfully carry their water like you.

If you don't support cannibalism, vampirism, rape, and pedophilia, you are free to leave the church, but for God's sake, stop hypocritically defending it and the horrible things it does even if you selfishly choose to remain in the cult! Didn't your bible teach you to have some shame?


I will surprise you but I agree with one of your points- the abuse crisis is horrible and it should be stopped. Its a deep and recurring stain on the church - and I hope the new generation of the clergy will finally chase it out.

What does it "do for me"? I want to do things. I don't want a probabilistic machine I can't trust to do things.

The things that annoy me in life - tax reports, doctor appointments, sending invoices. No way in hell I am letting LLM do that! Everything else in life I enjoy.


He downloaded data of multiple users

Yes, that’s the PoC.

Seemingly it could have been scoped tighter.

But complaining about the methodology your (successful, free, overdue) penetration test is wild.


Well done, defender of hill, protector of the mound.

Archive.is is now publishing really weird posts on their Tumblr blog, related to the whole thing

The word salad with ukraine, arms trade, nazis, hunter biden, leave no doubt the operator is from Russia.

He says elsewhere he comes from right wing activism. He could be some hard right type. But he says elsewhere he is outside of US jurisdiction. And the fact that he reacts so violently means that the original blogpost is somehow right. So probably Russia

He’s probably being purposefully vague which makes for difficult reading.

The thing is he usually cannot but sometimes can. The issue is around "sometimes".

the funny thing was when Ars Technica wrote an article about this

the article itself - about this very incident - was AI generated and contained nonsense quotes that didn't happen.

they later removed the article with an apology. but it still degraded my opinion in Ars
