Americans are strange with their x-word abbreviations for things where everybody knows the word. Like it would make things better to say f-word instead of fuck. If a LLM cannot write about people fucking it is broken.

It looks like they don't want to censor it more, but only add another benchmark that pleases people who want to know how toxic or not it is.

There is currently no copyright on AI generated images, so they can be freely used even when training AIs on copyrighted images would be outlawed.
They probably violated the Midjourney ToS, though.

Press Windows Key plus period key and you see an emoji chooser that works on every web forum.

> IRC's UI is not great and Lacks Presence, History, Search, Emoji's, and integrated Voice chat, for example.

Not quite right.

> Presence
No. IRC has features to be notified when somebody is online. Also for projects the most important part is the userlist of the channel.

> History
That makes it good. Are you really sure that it is a good thing when Discord has your logs from 10 years ago? What I said on IRC is only on the disks of a few people who were present and archive their logs for longer than a few years.

> Search
Search for what? It's a chat

> Emoji's
Emojis are a feature of your font rendering.

> and integrated Voice chat
non-goal

I don't think Matrix can become Discord and I don't think they should try. The reasonable goals for Matrix do not match the goals for, e.g., Revolt.

Terms of Service only apply if you agreed to them. So as long as the videos are available without account, they may try using copyright or claim that crawling is resource abuse, but cannot argument with their ToS.

I miss the days when chat companies fought alternative clients instead of their users. Yeah, gaim (now pidgin) couldn't connect to ICQ or MSN from time to time. Still no user was banned and you either used other clients in the meantime (e.g. the official ones) or waited until the open source libraries implemented the protocol changes.

XMPP sucked when bandwidth was low (even between servers), but nowadays it works quite well. For fast chat there is nothing that could beat IRC, but for the "Whatsapp style" chats XMPP is quite good.

Matrix is neither a good protocol, nor a replacement for Discord.

Why is it not a good protocol? Most problem stem from it not delivering messages, but synchronizing a DAG, including message delays, synchronization issues and the inability to reliably edit or remove messages. Sometimes rooms do not even reach the same state.

Why is it not a Discord replacement? Because Discord servers can be influenced a lot by bots in ways Matrix does not implement (and that would be hard to implement with Matrix' architecture). At the moment I think Matrix cannot even hold a voice channel connection when you change rooms.

The alternative may be Revolt, that actually tries to clone Discord. It doesn't federate, but mumble (or even teamspeak) don't either and still make good platforms for teamchats. And in the end, a server would be an actual server again and not a misnomer like it is with Discord.

Define your niche, find a good 7B-30B models and you outsmart GPT-3.5 (beginning with 70B sometimes even GPT-4).
Most claims to outsmart GPT-3.5 in all disciplines with a single model are false.

Who claims that the quality of sound is worse, shouldn't fear the AI, should they?
Also there is no need to steal voice. Future AI voices will be exactly what the musicians want them to sound like. Singers should be glad if someone needs their voice, because it cannot be finetuned and adapted for each song.

> Just put in a picture of some non-human object as the standard, and be done with it.

You can't do that when someone writes about issues regarding human perception as it may be important to show a face. Just let's think of how many JPEG artifacts you can add while people still recognize the image shows a human. It might be much harder for people to still recognize a table than to recognize a face as our visual system is well trained to recognize even partial images of faces. So there can be no drop-in replacement that works in all papers that use Lenna as reference.
