It’s not a resolution issue. They’re the wrong shapes for the actual marks from the book.

This is slop serving as someone’s resume project. It does a massive disservice to the art they’re pretending to showcase.

It’s somewhat slanderous to the original designers to represent these as the actual marks. LLMs are not up to the task of accurately recreating them.

The actual books are great to look through if your library stocks them.

I believe they're referring to when Joe Biden said "I am a Zionist."

Seems like the sword and shield icons are backwards in terms of who started the war. And “bloc” vs “coalition” lol.

Wonder how much of this came out of the prompter’s mind versus the LLM itself.

While I have no idea of the actual outcome, I’ll muddle through the extra step + thinking to opt-out where possible.

My own personal bend is that I do not want to be sold anything and I want anonymity where possible. We’re constantly being advertised to. Anything small action that I can take to deter that, or make the ads less personalized/interesting/distracting to me, is worth it. Even if I also will never knowingly click an ad.

It’s probably largely a control thing psychologically. With cookie banners specifically, I also don’t want to concede to dark patterns which make accepting easier than rejecting.

Sad for all involved.

I use obscura—which routes through mullvad—and the reddit problem is very annoying.

I finally hit the point of searching for mirrors yesterday and turns out, they exist.[0]

It’s really only suitable for lurking or being able to view search results, but it has eased the pain a bit.

Our (on-the-way-out) mayor likes it!

"I said, Imagine how cool would this be if we had like, a 10-foot wall. It’s interactive and it’s historical. And you could talk to Martin Luther King, and you could say, ‘Well, Dr, Martin Luther King, I’ve always wanted to meet you. What was your day like today? What did you have for breakfast?’ And he comes back and he talks to you right now."

Rather have dumb Siri than bullshit machine Siri. Glad they scrapped most of it but they shouldn't have ever even launched notification summaries.
