The First Palace
Episode 6: "A Personal Interest"

It's people acting. But it's not people.

[Daniel Jeffries @Dan_Jeffries1]

I find this story deeply sad and tragic.

Mass hysteria (which is nothing but wrong beliefs running riot through a population like a virus) do real and lasting damage to people and communities.

This lady helped block a data center that would have brought in tens of billions in local taxes, that would have occupied an empty lot that used to be a shopping mall 24 years ago. The community is struggling. They lost a Six Flags. The Washington Commanders are leaving.

After helping block this data center, over imaginary problems like poisoning local water (that really, literally, does not exist and is not a real problem) she asked her struggling community to make a roof fund to fix her father's house.

I give her that maybe the noise *could* have been a problem if there were diesel generators but it could have been addressed with simple requirements from the community such as sound walls or putting the generators further out and all of it it would have brought real growth to a struggling area. That's how basic democracy should work. Compromise and realistic solutions.

Her father compared her to Medger Evans, a civil rights leader and WWII veteran who fought to end segregation and who was tragically assassinated.

This is just an insane comparison and it's emblematic of what happens when we're in the midst of mass hysteria, where people imagine they're heroes in some cosmic struggle with no bearing on reality.

A lot of folks are posting snarky takes on this. There is nothing to laugh at here. This is a total and complete tragedy at every level.

And that is the nature of mass hysteria.

In the Satanic Panic in the 80s, a couple went to jail for 30 years for "transporting children to Mexico to perform dark masses and so Satan could molest them" with literally *no evidence* because "Satan made the evidence disappear."

This is the nature of mass psychogenic illness.

It's born of fear and irrational, insane beliefs and when these false beliefs take root in a society, they do real lasting damage to people's lives.

@SebAaltonen Some people care more about the ritual than what the ritual is trying to achieve.

[Roope Rainisto @rainisto]

@ABAOProductions Yeah overall your social media profile - candidates that spend their time online shitting on things / people -- not exactly a plus. Good workers get along with others.

@AIWarper @MiniMax_AI It's funny that they come out with this now - I was already (kind of) playing around it in August. :) https://t.co/zdjuh6imTp

[Roope Rainisto @rainisto]

Did you know that MiniMax H3 is also a nice image generator?

Yes this is a fun hack! The minimum length of a H3 generation is just a 5 frame video. That's 2 temporal latent slots instead of 107 - so the entire VRAM budget can be spent then for resolution.

You can run up to 4k, use for instance 30 steps, and get really nice results out of it,

all locally, all fully uncensored, all for free.

It's a minute or two for an image - pretty reasonable speed.

Ask your LLM to not use the lossy H.264 yuv420p 8-bit but to use SaveImage instead. Or try using fp8 or fp16 instead of the lowest memory options. Or use 30 steps instead of 20.

It's better than what you might guess. Can do quite a number of different looks (as what we've seen from the videos) - the lack of safety filters helps it.

4k might exhibit some banding, but 2k is quite nice and fast.

The nice part here is that you can then use these also for reference images for H3.

Not a paid ad! Just something cool I observed. :)

@SHL0MS Sure - but likewise LLM's think what to write and what not to write - the output tokens are just the tip of a massive iceberg.

[Roope Rainisto @rainisto]

Today at work I heard the term "human tokens": "let's spend some human tokens on this".

A person, when thinking, will write about 1000 tokens per hour.

So one million tokens is 1000 hours.

Assuming a person earns 50 dollars per hour, the cost is then 500000 dollars per one million output tokens.

Astra costs 50 dollars per one million output tokens.

So: human thinking costs 10000 times as much as Astra thinking!

[Roope Rainisto @rainisto]

@hakimieiqbal Mechanical writing you can do 5000 tokens per hour if you're a decent typist. But yeah, this involves some pauses for the thinking engine. :)

@VictoriqueM Skills issue

[Roope Rainisto @rainisto]

@kentskooking YES

[Roope Rainisto @rainisto]

This argument is spewed by people obsessed with titles and honours: they like to think they're special because "we are creative and they are not" - like to wear the artist's beret, physically or mentally.

"I am an artist, I am special, he is not an artist. If they're also considered as artists, this is a threat to my special existence."

It's a form of larping. A purity test. Status over results.

"If you use AI you aren't a coder." lol

@DeivonDrago It’s — not what we hoped for, I guess, but life is often like that.
