(Ah, the joyful tantrum). Educate yourself on how a simple JPEG works and exactly how little features are needed to produce an image that is almost indistinguishable from the source.
after employees with decades of experience left the company for remote work jobs.
Corporate still won. Those were the most expensive employees, and companies are proving time and time again that they just want output and not quality.
(nice ad hominem) Christ. When you reduce a high dimensional object into an embedded space, yes you keep only the first N features, but those N features are the most variable, and the loadings they contain can be used to map back to (a very good) approximation of the source images. It’s akin to reverse engineering a very lossy compression to something that (very strongly) resembles the source image (otherwise feature extraction wouldn’t be useful), and it’s entirely doable.
(thanks for the insult, stay classy) so the network training stage was pulled out of thin air then? Huh, I didn’t know these models could self-bootstrap themselves out of nothing.
I guess inverting models to do a tracing attack is impossible. Huh.
…what kind of bridge?
Trans people want to kill Elon Musk?
“You see, Mrs Simpson, some elephants are just jerks.”
Woah, I just understood why we eat meat: to drain animals of their mana so that we can use our magic powers to make our mystical devices work.
deep thought: but then, what does breakfast eat for breakfast?
I drew out the luddite parallel deliberately: artists likely do not mind AI tools if they are credited and compensated for their work, but they receive no residuals nor credit whenever their work is used so using the tools amount to their theft.
Take heart, Comrade! For even in death, every scrap of your body shall live on in the flesh of all living tovarischista fighting the good fight against the imperialist swine who waste their uneaten fish heads!
Little did they know that Patches the Cat bit through their LAN lines and actually increased the cost of their communication.
the luddites were happy to use the new tech, but not for less pay and worse working conditions, so they trashed the machines - and history has sadly looked down on them ever since.

fuck motorbikes, you know exactly why.
Fair enough, I was basing my opinion on what some of the FAANG companies were doing to get rid of veteran staff by giving them the WFH ultimatum.
