on the same line, but less pop meme replacements https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/artificial-cl... it replaces terms used to exalt Artificial Intelligence to what they really mean, and some tongue in cheek jokes against things that are used to pass billionaires/tech as friendly (e.g. replacing bill gates with his actual name)
It's slop though, which is even worse than the ads.
The least it could do was classify images to some categories with a small vision model smh. They stopped using AI too soon.
Should be able to use the local LLM to generate a short "They Live" style phrase based on the content of the ad.
I can't offhand thing of a worse idea in the context.

What I find funny (only not really) is the wildly different interpretations of this film people have, for many they seem to be primed by other things to see in it what they want. Basically skeptical of common forms in modernity, that is very clearly the intention. However, I have also seen that in extreme far-right communities this film represents how Jewish people control the world... somehow I don't think that is w…
> extreme far-right communities Extreme libertarian seems a more apt description for those groups since they severely distrust government often also criticizing Trump and Netanyahu for example.
This stereotyping you're doing is itself a manifestation of the very problem you're attempting to describe, which is that authorities murder with impunity, while we individuals can only organize among ourselves to address their crimes if - you know - we kind of get along.
Which is less likely to occur if you label everyone who has a concern for human rights violations, an "extreme libertarian" or "far-right". Maybe you're right that 'only extreme libertarians question the actions of Trump and Netanyahu', but then again, maybe you don't care about human rights as much as you should - quickly - before your own human rights (to live) are put in peril by the war criminals you allow to rule you ..
The corollary to your position is akin to this: "if you don't resist the war crimes and crimes against humanity that Trump and Netanyahu are committing - perhaps you agree with those crimes, and, therefore stereotyping you as a 'Trump'- or 'Netanyahu'-aligned type of person allows your position and indeed entire identity to be rejected, outright..."
So, what'll it be? Shall we, human rights-concerned individuals, stereotype you? What are your political afflictions, just so .. you know .. they can be instantly rejected or discounted as invalid since you are a member of 'that filthy group over there', who seem to think that authorities should have impunity to murder ... ?

There is a good video that this cool philosopher made, I can't remember the name.. zazik? Edit: Slavoj Žižek. As always, phenomenal and humble take.

I wish I could upvote this 10 times! I love the film - blew my mind when I saw it on cable just after it came out.

> Basically skeptical of common forms in modernity, that is very clearly the intention. However, I have also seen that in extreme far-right communities this film represents how Jewish people control the world... somehow I don't think that is what Carpenter was going for. Say what you will about claiming that the Jews secretly control the world like the aliens in the 1988 John Carpenter movie They Live, the people mak…
They absolutely conform; by what mechanism do you think they all happened to pick the same bundle of labels and beliefs?
Are you conforming/obeying when you believe the Earth is round? That the sky is blue? Perhaps a bunch of people picking "the same bundle of labels and beliefs" is… simply them recognizing/accepting reality?

Yes, these categories are sometimes simply separated by what they considers as "irrefutable proof".
See “The Final Experiment”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Experiment_(expediti... In particular the “Reactions” section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Experiment_(expediti... You’ll find this bit: > Alabama pastor Dean Odle suggested that Satan created a fireball to act as a false Sun. That is cuckoo cuckoo bananas to a point only “conspiracy nut” applies.

I never found the Matrix very impressive, because I'd been inoculated by this movie.
