X acaba de legalizar el espionaje y la violación de la privacidad a través de Grok. Y ahí es donde tenemos las cuentas institucionales.
Meanwhile, while the UK and the EU are discussing taking actions against grok for deep fake strip AI, the Pentagon has announced it will integrate Grok into "on every unclassified and unclassified network"
Military "users will also gain access to real-time global insights from the X platform."

Grok soll in Systeme des US-Militärs integriert werden: Hegseth will Elon Musks umstrittenen KI-Chatbot mit Geheimdienstdaten füttern
Der KI-Chatbot Grok steht derzeit massiv in der Kritik, weil er sexualisierte Kinderbilder erstellt hat. Nun soll Musks Software Zugriff auf zwei Jahrzehnte militärischer Operationsdaten erhalten.

This is a pretty common one, but
Don't treat your fellow artists like competition.
Not only is it just awesome getting to participate in art communities, but people are more likely to throw jobs your way if they think you would do the same for them 🤝

THIS. I cannot stress enough, is the MOST important part of art, writing, music, EVERYTHING creative. If you aren’t creating for YOURSELF first and foremost, you’re doing it for the wrong reason.

"How to make ACTUAL interesting OCs" "How to make OCs people will care about!" dog if you can't love your own creations that's where you need to start, don't make brand new beings for other's approval. You'll never truly love them if they're tied to a stranger's perception.

I cannot stress this enough: this is not possible
in a literal technological sense: you cannot train an AI and expect even comprehensible results with under ~1 million pieces of data, nobody can supply all that with the variance needed. You can only achieve it through wanton scraping

If you are a popular animator and make cute things, you can't be black? So Twitter 😂😭

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.

There’s literally no way for Larian to have an in-house AI without relying on external datasets.
They can feed a model with their own data to the point where it matches a chosen style, but the underlying model is still 100% reliant on scraped (stolen) data.
