lhenault··on Bumble releases open-source A.I. feature to help combat unsolicited nudes
That's commendable from them and a step in the right direction to address a real problem. Unsolicited nudes are considered as sexual assault, and illegal in many countries.

However, I wonder if that's genuine or some PR stunt, as it's "simply" a binary classifier using an off-the-shelf architecture (EfficientNet v2), and having the trained model being publicly released can now allow adversarial attacks.

lhenault··on Disney Combines CGI with Neural Rendering to Tackle the ‘Uncanny Valley’
To be fair they've been using StyleGAN2 and could probably get much better animations with alias free GAN (aka StyleGAN3). Watch the videos there : https://nvlabs.github.io/stylegan3/
lhenault··on The Unlikely Rise of French Tacos
Sorry, in France, we usually just say "kebab" rather than "döner kebab" / "gyro" (so if you go to Turkey and ask for a kebab expecting a gyro, you'll be surprised the first time).

But they usually come with pita bread, while "French tacos" are wrapped in wheat tortillas instead, use any kind of meat(s), have cheese, sauces, ...

lhenault··on The Unlikely Rise of French Tacos
As a French person who's been lucky enough to visit Mexico and taste amazing tacos there, I just want to apologize to every Mexican for this. "French" "tacos" are closer to the cursed child of a burrito and a kebab than a taco.

It doesn't have much in common with Mexican culture (nor French gastronomy) and is borderline cultural appropriation. If you want a taco-shaped kebab, rather try an Al Pastor.

> Pelonero had never been to Mexico, still hasn’t. “But I’ve watched a lot of series about tacos on Netflix,”

I guess he hasn't watched this one, or he wouldn't dare naming his things "tacos" :

And the "GigaTacos challenge" is just disgusting.
