That’s not lab grown meat, that’s effectively wheat bread masquerading as meat. We gotta be careful to not conflate the two if we want real lab grown meat to ever have a chance.

As I understand it, “Wagyu” specifically implies that it was not raised in Kobe nor via the Kobe style. Wagyu is just the base breed of cow, and they can be raised however the individual farm wishes.

Lol at the how /r/technology users contort their brains to find any way they can to feel superior to machines in the most ludicrous of ways. If they’re that insecure about their place in this world, the future is gonna be real fun for them.

Haha, this is your generation’s “The internet isn’t a real source! You have to find it in a book!”
Don’t worry, teachers and professors eventually realized that they were being curmudgeonly idiots and decided that everything but Wikipedia was a fine and dandy source.
For all of the classes they have to take to get their credentials, you’d think one of them would be something along the lines of “How to stay on the right side of history”.

Reply to comment by frostanon in TIL Tolkien assisted on the Oxford Dictionary's first edition, focused on 'W' words waggle to warlock. He "learned more in those two years than in any other"; and certain etymologies continued to puzzle him for years, with many pages of notes written later on 'walrus' for a lecture at Leeds by PianoCharged
That dingus went about it all backwards, what was he thinking?

I in that case I hope you have a datacenter to borrow. We need to work hard on lowering the computational requirements of these LLMs, or we need to work just as hard on democratizing access to high-performance computing.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in DeepMind created an AI system that writes computer programs at a competitive level by inaLilah
I’m a working artist— a concert lighting designer, specifically. I don’t flip out when a DJ chooses to use Lightkey to automate what I do for a living instead of choosing my services, and Followspot Operators don’t flip out when I choose to use an automated light with a ground control hand controller instead of their services either. Those aren’t the types of clients either of us would enjoy working for anyway. I am well within my rights to expect the same sort of self-awareness from the rest of the art scene. If they don’t choose to cultivate that self-awareness and learn the new tools, then they most definitely deserve to be called idiots.

Well that’s what’s currently happening in the art scene since the advent of stable diffusion. The folks complaining are… how can I put it? Not the most rational bunch. At first, they decided that it was illegal to copy an artist’s style and that was what they took issue with. How ridiculous is that? Those idiots learned their style from somewhere too. But now they just keep moving the goal posts.

Think about it— the first thing you when you Google something is often to Google what people have said about it on Reddit. Being able to sum up a few webpages worth of knowledge into an AI-generated quip or essay is going to huuuuge, since now you won’t have to hope another human has already digested the material and posted it on Reddit.

If the restaurant you’re going to specifically calls it “purple urchin,” then you can be sure they are going out of their way to acquire the invasive species. But there is no commercial market for that variety and they are not considered a delicacy commercially, so it would still be surprising to find.
