  • Right. Do you feel like I need to justify myself about my life choices to express criticism and a bad opinion about generative IA?

    Generative IA is still a huge increasing drain on environnemental resources no matter how much of a hypocrite I may or may not be. I’m not knowledgeable but I assume that models run locally still have to be trained on huge amounts of data before being deployed.

    And this image is still shit: it wasn’t produced by a human mind and it is completely tone-deaf. I can’t tell if the portrayal of the character tries to go for “heroic” or “ridicule”. It could be made by an anti trump viewpoint as well as a pro trump one, it’s just that bad.

    IA models are still useless as answer boxes as they are unreliable and prone to “hallucinations”. Regarding content creation I think I they are an insult to the very concept of creativity, and the people using it for that purpose are polluters of creative spaces. So yeah, I do hate IA, very much and very openly. I just wasn’t aware I had to show some sort of credentials before being allowed to say something about it.




  • This is not about about the naturalization process, or about naturalized Estonian citizens, but foreign residents. In the EU, if you’re not a national or EU citizen, you are not owed to vote in the local elections because you’re a legal resident. Previously Russian and Belarusian resident were graciously allowed to vote, and now this privilege will be rescinded. So I wouldn’t say it’s nationalist jingoism but common sense, Russia is actively engaged in hybrid warfare with the EU, and countries with a shared border are worried enough about illegal crossing from russian agent, so Estonia doesn’t need to grant special privilege to foreign citizens from a hostile country so they can mess with their local elections.
