I don&#39;t see companies like Disney or companies like Google telling people to harrass artists for using or not using AI models.<br/><br/>But I have seen artists spending the last couple of years telling people that whether you used AI or not is the most important thing in art, when most people simply can&#39;t tell the difference.<br/><br/>It&#39;s really sad that you&#39;re being harrassed this way for making great artwork with a process you&#39;re passionate about. You can only fight it if you put the blame in the right place. It&#39;s not the big industry harrassing you, it&#39;s the anti-AI movement. 2026-02-26T11:07:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdm0yvppjeq65ymecejjnvh5f9u945agwxw04fatsjkwjzccas9gqzyqnejtgf56h7yl4rzsyd3fza7nj6hajpdrvukwp0snathkd25t0jczgx5fc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0x6xgpkp3rp82zh0ngkllhvwamftt5pgxy6rqs3vqglzgarsatfqtykgu9'>nevent1q…kgu9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>My best one of these was the day I noticed we have an uncommon word &#34;don&#34; for putting on an item of clothing and &#34;doff&#34; for taking off an item of clothing, and they look like opposites. Turns out they are both contractions of &#34;do on&#34; resp &#34;do off&#34;. 2025-12-22T10:53:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqvmk3nc9880sxp578w5mac5ll8j7re6e6wwy94hhtk0dtgqw9zyszyqnejtgf56h7yl4rzsyd3fza7nj6hajpdrvukwp0snathkd25t0jcaf993t In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfyvvvhjjhrnpxz399pxw5vje3t4ld3h907nq9wlf4sm9wxgcnyug58v2vd'>nevent1q…v2vd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;there&#39;s no way something of one charge can turn into something of another charge without changing the charge of something else&#34; vs &#34;you can turn one [angular momentum] into the other just by rotating it&#34; Yes, that&#39;s exactly the bias I had before reading your toots, but both angular momentum and charge are conserved quantities. Just like charge, <br/>there&#39;s no way something of one angular momentum can turn into something of another angular momentum without changing the angular momentum of something else.<br/>I was going to ask about this in the comments of your first video on the Standard Model, but this thing about the bits expresses it way clearer. Are there really six flavours of quark, or just six states that quarks can be in? When quarks decay, are they really transitioning to a different particle, or are they just dropping to a lower energy level? The more I read, the more I feel like the &#34;different flavours&#34; idea is a barrier to understanding. 2025-11-18T15:44:24Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxqrnf0gz3u304fywmd4fqnmmgy6gk9c837w0jnjlvla898peve4szyqnejtgf56h7yl4rzsyd3fza7nj6hajpdrvukwp0snathkd25t0jcxsyzy4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst9wg4uy4s5g2fj3dsttr4htqchhwp8sknfg3eldk3eshykfy3r6su6kq8a'>nevent1q…kq8a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think this last bit is interesting, because we tend to think of spin as a &#34;state&#34; of the electron while other things like its charge are a fixed &#34;property&#34; - at least, that&#39;s the mental model I came out of first-year undergrad physics with. But it seems like in part that comes from how those things were discovered: at first it looks like all electrons are negative but they can have either spin, so then when positrons are discovered, they feel like a fundamentally different particle. We say the weak interaction &#34;changes a down quark into an up quark&#34; but would it make more sense to say it &#34;changes the quark from the down state to the up state&#34;? 2025-11-18T12:12:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyxs3f8d8r3eyxtcgqskwcqk27f3694a9klc3040ansx292nsptcqzyqnejtgf56h7yl4rzsyd3fza7nj6hajpdrvukwp0snathkd25t0jcu3svvv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszts0czhxuap832cxqg379n4f2rrkz6tl428vjwz98a9krxj7zrxgky6wcs'>nevent1q…6wcs</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sure, but that totality of power is serving 47 million people.
