@vxunderground i fell in love with malware analysis thanks to vx heaven and kernelmode, thank you for keeping up their legacy

[Francesco Muroni @FraMauronz]

@vxunderground but which version?
myprogram_FINAL.c
myprogram_FINAL_v2.c
myprogram_FINAL_v2_fix.c

[Francesco Muroni @FraMauronz]

@vxunderground Wait are we the same person? This is quite literally the same experience as mine

@AndreaPapiniLi @kimmonismus This is a very misleading conclusion to get out of this research. The performed tests and the axis of evaluations are basically meant to evaluate how good of a medical chatbot you are, not your efficacy as a physician. And guess what, physicians aren't chatbots...

@cyb3rops Don't worry I understood your point, I agree in terms of creating opportunities. I specifically contested the concept of "beautiful animation". If a movie has a great story but no visuals, I personally don't consider it a good movie. That's why I wouldn't like AI movies.

[Francesco Muroni @FraMauronz]

@cyb3rops This trailer specifically has no artistic value from my point of view. No original story, no original characters, no original visual style, no original music. I consider it just an exercise

[Francesco Muroni @FraMauronz]

@cyb3rops I agree with you on the importance of storytelling.
I think it's similar to books. Medieval monks created beautiful manuscripts, with value in both the content and the form. When printing came, people could more easily produce content, but the value of the form was lost.

[Francesco Muroni @FraMauronz]

@cyb3rops I get that. If we dismiss the artistic value of the visual aspect of the movie, then ok (I personally cannot, but it's a matter of preferences)

[Francesco Muroni @FraMauronz]

@cyb3rops Applying modifications just for the sake of avoiding legal issues has obviously no artistic value, so that's not what I would call inspiration

[Francesco Muroni @FraMauronz]

@cyb3rops Inspiration means applying a transformative process to something existing, in order to convey a personal idea. No two impressionists were identical. Each ghibli movie has its stylistic identity. An AI has no "personal idea" so it only reproduces something that already exists

@nuke86 Bisogna distinguere l'aspetto legislativo da quello pratico, le aziende USA (tutte le altre che sviluppano AI) sono tutto tranne che campioni delle privacy. Anzi campano grazie alla compravendita di dati. Nascondersi dietro alle leggi vale poco per la propria protezione

[Francesco Muroni @FraMauronz]

@cyb3rops I think it is also due to the fact that the majority of complex analyses/reports/write-ups we read usually report the final results omitting the many hours of trial&error that were required to achieve them. That leaves you wonder if you would ever be able to do the same

@hiragananinja I don't think Italians would mind, our word for kanpai is "chinchin" 😂

[Francesco Muroni @FraMauronz]

@CNviolations This account started with making fun of brutal fact checks (guess what? mostly MAGA misinformation). Now it sadly jumped the fence...

[Francesco Muroni @FraMauronz]

@hiragananinja record a video where you say something that is unequivocally japanese 😁
