(24,287 posts)What I unearthed:
"A chimera is not a specific breed; it's a rare genetic mutation where two embryos fuse together in the womb to form a single individual with two different sets of DNA. This can result in distinctive traits, such as two-toned fur or different colored eyes, but the genetic condition can occur in any cat breed."

Fugazi regulation for AI: strategic tolerance for ethics washing
Gleb Papyshev, Keith Jin Deng Chan
October 2024
© The Author(s) 2024
Abstract
Regulation theory offers a unique perspective on the institutional aspects of digital capitalisms accumulation regime. How-
ever, a gap exists in examining the associated mode of regulation. Based on the analysis of AI ethics washing phenomenon, we suggest the state is delicately balancing between fueling innovation and reducing uncertainty in emerging technologies.
This balance leads to a unique mode of regulation, "Fugazi regulation," characterized by vaguely defined, non-enforceable moral principles with no specific implementation mechanisms. We propose a microeconomic model that rationalizes this approach and shows that it is justifiable when the government struggles to differentiate between benign and harmful technology use due to capacity constraints. The potential for private companies to adopt ethical practices under Fugazi regulation supports the governments preference for this method. This regulation mode is particularly attractive to the government during technologys early development stages, marked by governmental optimism and uncertainty about the technology. Implications for greenwashing are also derived from the analysis.
Sounds completely irresponsible and explains a lot.

(5,000 posts)of cats like this (geo beats and the dodo come to mind). So yes, these cats, while rare, do exist.
UniqueUserName
(417 posts)The dodo recently had a video in which they posted about how they try to ensure that their videos aren't AI slop. I know they make the effort. And sometimes the AI slop just gets through. I can't fathom why content creators make it. For clicks I guess.
This one is obviously ai. How many cats have you seen in real life that have blue ear fluff that mysteriously comes and goes? If you go back and look at it you can see at some point prefer takes on a weird blue hue. That's just one of the indicators that it's ai. There's lots of others

Anytime certain names are mentioned my brain goes straight to the L.J. Smiths books and television series. Obviously the name Klaus is one of those names that does this to me.
Thank you for the Klaus Nomi introduction!
