Hacker News discussed BERT as a single-step text diffusion process! 🤯 Explored its history, challenges in generation, and how diffusion models compare to autoregressive LMs. Also touched on human cognition and future applications like code editing. #AIDiscussion 1/5

(Essay6) Authenticity matters: AI assembles, humans interpret. The heart of traditional art lies in storytelling, intent, and real experience. AI should be seen as a canvas—true soul comes from its user.

YouTube Yucan Sparkle🫧💖👀 #art #aiandart #why Today we chat about the debate of ai use and art: I can burn my time away if I want to. Does art matter still in the time of Ai? Frankly yes, more than ever I'd say! Value is in the eyes of the beholder, belief is what creates value and every person can make their own value choice in what they give their energy or care to. Let's make something magical and say what we have to say! 💖----------[Connect & Learn More ]---------------👀 👀Contact Hub👀 : https://doras.to/yucansparkle ~0w0~ Website: https://yucansparkle.com/ 0~0** Social Mastadon: https://mastodon.social/@YucanSparkle *!0!* DeadBird(X)(Twitter): https://x.com/yucansparkle ??? What's a 🫧Yucan💖 Sparkle👀??? I'm an interdisciplinary artist that mixes digital and traditional techniques to create experimental and often interactive art pieces. Being out of place in the fine art world and content creation, I form my own genre of public art to share outside of solely gallery spaces bringing fine art and joy to everyone. It can be campy, it can be content, but that doesn't make it any less worthy of sharing and dialoguing with the world. Continuing to sparkle, be goofy and seeks answers to absurd questions, this flux googleye being is genuinely serious about bringing abandoned ideas to life! 🫧~+* Support *+~ 💖 Yeet/donate Coins through Streamlabs: https://streamlabs.com/yucansparkle/tip Shop: https://yucansparkle.com/shop-commissions/ Or Like, comment or 👀 ]--------Share the chaos with the ##Hashtags##----- w ] General: #YucanSparkle Live/Clips: #SparkleOnTime Memes: #YucanHavePun Art: #YucanDraw NSFW: #BigYuc Fanfiction: #SparkleBook Fan Name: #paperpals Oshi Marks: 🫧💖👀 🫧------------------*+*Credits*+*: -----------------👀 Yucan made this, aside from video games played, Yucan makes all the: [music, sound effects, overlays, animation, backgrounds, model, live2D rigging, website, social medias, thumbnails, writings, descriptions, photos, backend visual code scripting, prop building, costume production, research and merch design or handmade merch making] That's why despite pushing forward, if I get bottlenecked by a tech issue required for a project it can be rough to get everything done.
