It's happening!

May I present...the MS Satoshi.

She looks lovely, much better than a lambo

Your advice is accordingly filed under “taken under advisement”.

Quoted for the evidence that nullius is a bot.

I actually have that line (replete with the emoji 🗑️ which you snipped) set as a text editor macro.  Minor variations thereof are in many of my forum posts—also, variations of the wolf photo.

Speaking of bots, I am now just waiting for the liberal TDS conspiracy theorists to announce that I am a “Russian bot”.  

... some lunatic is trying to get users banned for posting unattributed and/or copyrighted images to the Wall Observer. ...

Perhaps you did not understand:  Among other things, in the quoted portion, he made a rude remark about Lauda.

—My blowtorch gets results!

WhiteManWhite has left the forum.

That's a plot twist

I need to catch up on the Russian forum thread.  I abandoned it after a moderator deleted two of my posts.  Eh, it seems to be less of a priority now...  Anyway, Jay, do you suppose that you could compete with me for being a meanie? ;-)

Secretly, I am contemplating whether I should learn a lesson from Lauda about being constructive.  But that is something that I would take up elsewhere; it does not seem relevant in WO, whereby the current primary topics of discussion are Nully with his blowtorch, adversarial network generation of nonexistent cats, and also Bitcoin.

Jay, thanks for the discussion re Lauda.  I read and appreciate your long, detailed replies; if I don’t respond point by point, it is only because I would prefer to talk about myself now!  —Or about Kitty AI.  —Or about Communist subversion of the arts.  —Or—as long as I am here, maybe even sometimes about Bitcoin.

On the Making of Nonexistent Cats

Protip:  It is more complicated than cat /dev/null.

but surely life happens

Indeed.  Life goes on.  😼

This nonexistent cat admired strength and despised weakness:

Free images of Lauda!
Protip:  If nullius drops a Youtube link, it is probably not stupid.

Not sure about GAN... I did watch almost half of the video without conceding whether I understood any of what I saw/heard.

A simple, very non-rigorous explanation:

You know the general class of nifty AI technologies that make image search, facial recognition, the visual cortex for self-driving cars, etc., etc.?

Well, it turns out that if you put two different AI bots in a feedback loop, you can make one bot train the other to produce the class of images that the first bot has already been trained to recognize.

So:  Train one bot to recognize cat photos.  Make the other bot start producing more or less randomly generated images; and force it to learn to fool the cat photo recognizer into believing that a nonexistent cat is a real cat.

When you run this little bot versus bot game on a big pile of expensive GPUs for a week or two, the cat-recognizer bot teaches the nonexistent-cat bot to produce fake cat photos that can fool humans.  😸

It is such a powerful technology, it can even produce KYC dox photos of nullius!  

realised or generative cats only require a warm place to nap...    shrug_smile.py



“What I cannot create, I do not understand.” — Richard P. Feynman

Good one.  Note to Jay:  That is the equation that basically sets the rule of the aforesaid “bot versus bot” game.  Here are some images that I posted on Lauda’s goodbye thread; curious cats humans should right-click and view the image on the left to view it full size, or even click through to the paper hereby linked on Arxiv:

Kitty loved science!
—And technology indistinguishable from magic!

* nullius loves the “generative model” that “produces cat-shaped objects more often”. 😼

Science and maths and technical intrigues are posted to the Wall Observer in memory of Kitty.

Nulli...on a more personal note I must admit some fascination with some of your posts...but by the gods man..bloviate much?

I am curious^* about which subjects fascinate you.  Though I will understand if you don’t want to be too specific.  Perhaps I may be too toxic.  (* Sufficiently curious that I will spare you the “taken under advisement” nullbot macro in re my alleged “bloviating”. ;-)

On the subject of Sean Connery/007, have you heard that the next James Bond will be a black woman, Lashana Lynch?
She sees it as "challenging stereotypes" and "is greatful to challenge these narratives". We are moving away from a poisoning masculinity, she says to Harper's Bazaar.

Don't they realize that James Bond is so popular because he is a stereotype?
Remove the stereotype and there is no James Bond. This is going to end up a disaster, go woke, go broke.

Oh no. Please. Don't do this!

How can "James" be a woman? At least make it a tranny, then maybe it'd be more believable

The new Bond takes it stirred with wokefulness.  —AlcoHoDL is shaken, not stirred.

Does anybody with a functioning brain still doubt what I say about Communists destroying absolutely everything? 🤮

Prediction:  The black female Bond will turn out to be a “transwoman”; and future Bond films will be a flashback to his former lifestyle as a homosexual man.

inb4 DaRude.  This is what I get for having reply windows open whilst multitasking.

Your gender stereotyping is hate speech.  Don’t misgender the black homosexual tranny bearded woman 007 based on cisnormative stereotypes about names!

I wonder who (what) the "Bond girls" are going to be... LOL!

Heteronormative hate speech!

Of course, 007 is now a black homosexual tranny bearded lesbian!


HEINOUS CRIMINALS!  Prepare for the “Scottish” Minister of Justice to prosecute you for your dinner-table conversations about this.

The typical bond girl and Miss Moneypenny as lesbians?

2020 reached a new low.

[AlcoHoDL]

Sean, Roger, Daniel,
All worthy and capable,
To bear the Bond name.

But, once more, it seems,
Political correctness,
Rears its ugly head.

And here comes a chick,
British, but ain't got no dick,
Wanting to be Bond.

She says it's all good.
Equal opportunities.
Tell that to Fleming.

Wanna be called James?
Are you into sexy girls?
Used a gun before?

I will not accept,
A spy who won't wear a kilt,
And be a proud man.

So, steer clear of Bond.
Oh, and one more thing you bitch:
It's shaken, NOT stirred!

Hate speech!  Some women have penises, just as some men can get pregnant.

<< An Englishman’s home was once his castle.  It is now his kennel. >>
Generational ratchet:  In twenty years, expect for “gender” and sexual orientation to be as unmentionable, and even unthinkable as race is today.  That is how it works, kids.  I give an admittedly pessimistic prediction of twenty years, because the ratchet is accelerating.  Race took about forty to sixty years to go from approximately the point where “gender” is now, to being blacked out.

Maybe Cryptotourist was onto something, idk....

You guys are funny. Love the show.

..... he isn't the president elect. He hasn't been certified the winner of any states yet. And since you're bringing up Al Gore, remember that the media prematurely declared him president elect in 2000 as well.

Dude, I get it. Your guy didn't win. I, and the majority of the voters, were there 4 years ago and I/we know it hurts.
But being in (what looks like) denial about it does not help the process of moving on.
Yes, you are right, the media ended up getting it wrong in 2000 , though they missed the mark by an infinitesimally small amount. (less than a thousand votes)
"Once bitten, twice shy" as the saying goes. It's why they didn't call it yesterday.

I'll level with you. I think there was widespread voter fraud and shenanigans. I still have just enough trust in our American system to believe that any illegitimate votes will be nullified, one way or another.

 I find it odd that, for the 2016 US Presidential election, more than 71 million people tuned in to watch it on television but for the 2020 election only a little over 59 million people watched.  A record number of votes were cast for this 2020 election - in fact, this election had the highest voter turnout in 120 years - but somehow that didn't translate into a record number of viewers tuning in to see how their chosen candidate made out.

the era of classic centralized TV is over.

[600watt]

jesus. you really come across like a bunch of utter rednecks to really think it is a sign of cultural degradation when some filmmakers create a movie where the hero is a female version of James Bond?  will the world still turn after this? will your dicks in your pants will still be the same dicks? it is a fiction series. the theme has been ridden to death for decades. it is entertaining. if you hate that a woman acts as a new version of James Bond then don't watch it. but stop peeing your pants as if someone took something of any relevance from you.

Borat should do the next one. and then Marge Simpson. and finally Greta Thunberg. that should give you something to chew at.

yeah i dont get it. its the character thats the pull. doesnt matter if its stereotyped.. in fact thats almost the main requirement.

dr who pulled the same stunt (formally all males in lead role, now a female) and it turned to utter trash.

It should answer the question "Does James Bond have agency?". This was done 50 or 60 years ago in animation with Chuck Jones' masterpiece: "Duck Amuck" in which we find out that yes, Daffy Duck does have a specific essence and character independent of form or function....
