The modern neural net revival got kicked off long before 2017.

Alex net in 2012 is only 5 years earlier.

Could you expand on this a little bit? Are you referring to the NY SAFE act? I'm seeing a few lines in their wiki page that suggest otherwise:

* In June 2007, a private equity firm, Cerberus Capital Management, acquired Remington Arms for $370 million, including $252 million in assumed debt.

* Remington filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March 2018, having accumulated over $950 million in debt

* In July 2020, Remington again filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Just because there's a spectrum doesn't mean that everything on it is indistinguishable. Everybody draws their own lines, some people count more or fewer things as stigmata, some people's lines are fuzzier than others.

Haven't the locals suffered enough already?

The whole point of the site is the images and facts.

If that's all it takes then cnn.com or foxnews.com must be excruciatingly worrying. It's worse than AI imagery. There are people who are knowingly distributing misinformation, and sometimes being paid to do so.

I think something that's at play here is that the site looks like it is meant to be authoritative and genuine, and could be unexpectedly deceptive, while many other sites are expected to be deceptive and that is accepted and doesn't cause plenty of worry. Kind of strange though. A random internet site might have some fake images on it, which causes plenty of worry, but we're okay being lied to 24/7 by official channels. Or maybe we're plenty worried about that too? Doesn't seem like people are plenty worried about it.

I think that's a good idea, altho you can probably get away with good old NLP to do it.

Apparently I was not the first to have this thought. See

Were in an era where virtually all sw could have an mcp intf to do anything...not even just color.

The trick is to have a basic level of literacy and then you don't need the machine to chew it up for you like a mother bird.

How is that not "modern language"?

Seems like a pretty lousy work situation when you have LLMs but no decent IDE.

> the opposite is not true.

You can't ("shouldn't") take a semi on a sidewalk or down a narrow alley.

Murder is one of the first things that most governments ban.
