The useful part

Pixel Scroll 9/21/26 And May A Leprechaun Dance In Your Pixels | File 770 Skip to primary content (1) BITE ATTACK FOLLOWS AI ART CHALLENGE AT BRISBANE CON. Police were called to the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre in South Bank. A police spokesperson told 612 ABC no formal complaint was filed, but they were aware of the incident.

How it works

• Footage supplied to the ABC shows Zyllion stall-holder Bowie Chong in a heated argument with another vendor, Victoria Manton-Williams at about 2:40pm.
• When that math makes something beautiful or striking, it's like a sunset: no matter how striking it is, it's empty.
• Publishers Weekly reports "Unsealed Files Show Open AI/Microsoft Knew Copying Was Illegal and Could Hurt Authors".
• The documents show that Gogineni stated that his "research mission" was to create a machine that would supplant human authors.
• Along those lines, the brief states that Gogineni was aware of authors' complaints that the 'datasets are stolen' and that authors were losing work to competition.

What to take from it

Anyway, forget about Barbenheimer, because this December welcomes Dunesday, which will be Barbenheimer on steroids. Indeed, the chatbot is less real than the character, because the character is the product of another mind, while the chatbot's words are the product of complex mathematical operations conducted over a massive database of all the words humans have uttered, arranged by their frequency in relation to one another. Manton-Williams told the ABC she asked Chong whether his art was, prompting him to tell her to "f* off".

Example or evidence

• It's the most fundamental difference between a sculpture of a tree and a tree: the tree grew all on its own, while the sculpture was made, on purpose, by another person with another mind.
• When we converse, we reflexively form a theory about the mind directing the other half of the conversation….
• TV Line reminds us, "65 Years Ago, A British Sci-Fi Spy Series Launched And Became A Global Hit".
• …Figuring out intentions is our minds' reflexive preoccupation.

Details worth keeping

Manton-Williams said she ran over and tried to pull Chong off of her friend and that she was pushed to the ground and kicked in the arm. "I've never actually heard of anyone getting bitten at a convention in general," Manton-Williams said. "I did not even think it was in the realm of possibility that when I went up to ask this guy a question that he would run out and bite someone.
