That said, this made me laugh:
On Twitter—which is now called “X” for some reason
yvan eht nioj!!!
Superliminal advertising is way more effective.
“Hey you! Join the Navy!!”
I think it’s called X because of Space X. Which follows simpleton Microsoft pattern of thinking basic numbers and letters are somehow “cool” - Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One. With the next one everyone’s mind will explode.
It’s called X because that was the name of his first company before PayPal bough it. He wants X to be an ‘everything app’ including banking. It will fail.
I think microsoft named it the Xbox because of DirectX https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX

Oh yeah that I have no idea. Just the x part of Xbox did have a somewhat reasonable origin beyond “x is cool bro”
icrosoft?
Microsoft*
This is the opposite of subliminal. It’s almost super-liminal. This people must think that a punch in the face is subtle disagreement.

Ngl I can’t read it until I squint
Depends on what device I’m looking at it on. The thumbnail preview makes the words super obvious, but the full size version on a computer screen is almost unreadable, even if I squint.
Drink more Ovaltine
Other way around, people think subtle disagreement is a punch in the face
No, i think it ws right the first time. They think something that is super-liminal is subliminal. That’s the big obvious thing, vs. the small subtle thing. So, in conparison, they would think a punch in the face is a subtle disagreement. So big obvious thing vs. small subtle thing.
Here’s what’s really going on
Yeah nothing out of the ordinary
Thanks I guess
It’s vice, what do you expect.
it’s clearly a clickbait title
On Twitter—which is now called “X” for some reason—
Best part of the article right there.
“On Twitter—which is now called “X” for some reason—algorithmically-boosted blue-check users…”
Words so mesmerising I turned off my adblock
ControlNet uses the AI image-generating tool Stable Diffusion, and one of its initial uses was generating fancy QR codes using the code as an input image. That idea was then taken further, with some users developing a workflow that lets them specify any image or text as a black-and-white mask that implants itself into the generated image—kind of like an automated, generative version of the masking tool in Photoshop.
“What happened there was that this user discovered that if they used the QR Code ControlNet but instead of feeding it a QR code, they fed it some other black-and-white patterns, they could create nice optical illusions,” said Passos. “You can now send a conditioning image and the model blends in a pattern that satisfies that while still making a coherent image at the same time.”
Which is…just ControlNet?
Yes, the article explains what Control Net is for those of us who haven’t heard of it before. And the article says that Control Net was (apparently) initially meant to be used for qr codes.
Sorry to be indirect - ControlNet is a Stable Diffusion tool that generally allows for generating images with input control frames. The QR code use-case was a single potential use that went viral.
I was just eye-rolling a bit over the expert in the article also not understanding what ControlNet is, since it’s propagating an incorrect history.
I read the ‘Gay Sex’ as ‘Day Sex’ 🤔
Fighter of the Night Sex
Champion of the Cum!
Ohhhh ahhh ahhhhhhh
Ew, gross. Weirdo.
If God wanted us to have sex at day, why did he create the night!
Funnily enough gay sex was fine in ancient Rome (as long as you were the dominant one) but having sex in the light (whether natural or candle light) was seen as a massive taboo.
(Amongst the upper and middle classes anyway, I doubt the majority of people cared)
Day sex fan VS Night sex enjoyer
Skyyy roc-kets in flight!
Afternoon delight!

I read it as OAY SEX. I kept asking myself… the hell is an oay?
OAV SEX for me
Didn’t Vice go out of business like months ago?

It’s fun, I’ve been making my own!
What’s going on is them ruining cats for me. Every time I see one of these pictures I want to puke at how unrealistic the animals look. I found myself to truly despise AI generated content with burning passion.
Y’know, I’ve seen some shitty pictures of animals. Hell, I’ve drawn shitty pictures of animals. But I have never vomited as a result of viewing such a picture. Friend, you might want to see a doctor.

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Stop schizo posting
You have some serious mental issues, I’d recommend looking for a psychiatrist. If you don’t, I’ll generate an AI image of your face – this is a real threat!
Lol
I kind of like the little biped guy second from left though, cute little bundle of fur on sticks

Every week, the social media hype-train seems to find new ways to sensationalize generative AI tools. Most recently, a new technique that allows users to produce optical illusions went viral, with some describing the results as AI-generated images with “subliminal” messages.
These writers got the same energy as an envious teenage girl
What does that even mean? It’s literally a first paragraph summary of the body of the article? In what way does it sound “envious” and from the mind of a teenage girl?

They even found words to bitch about twitter being renamed.
