BYU and SLC anti-vice. We discuss the history of Charles A. Callis, his career in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and politics, and his final assignment before death, creating a sexual purity surveillance and counseling/therapy program for Mormons in the 40s. After his death, Spencer W. Kimball took the reins and vastly expanded the reach and purposes of the program, resulting in The Miracle of Forgiveness. Cleon Skousen was running raids on gay clubs and anybody else seen as commie enemies of god's country. The systems they created have adapted, evolved, and conformed to the times, but never gone away, as evidenced by the recent SL Tribue piece about BYU's retrenchment and culture of fear. Then we chat about Minority report, a Tom Cruise sci-fi flick with surprisingly profound concepts. We wrap with happy news about the first openly transgender congressperson in American history.   Show Notes:  https://mormonstudies.as.virginia.edu/gay-rights-and-mormonism/ https://mormonstudies.as.virginia.edu/gay-rights-and-mormonism/05-the-miracle-of-forgiveness/ https://mormonstudies.as.virginia.edu/gay-rights-and-mormonism/16-the-cure-2-0/ https://mormonstudies.as.virginia.edu/gay-rights-and-mormonism/07-salt-lake-city-gay-scene/ https://archive.org/details/spencerwkimballt00kimb/page/271/mode/2up?view=theater https://ourphoenixfoundation.org/includes/about.php https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergreen_International https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/topics/gay/individuals?lang=eng https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/topics/transgender/understanding?lang=eng https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2025/01/05/byu-blue-why-these-are-dark-days/ https://fairnessforall.org/the-utah-compromise/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Cleon_Skousen https://police.slc.gov/about/history/ https://lris.com/recent-developments/2012/05/salt-lake-city-vice-squad-disbanded/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_E._Talmage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_Smoot_hearings https://prophetsseersandrevelators.wordpress.com/2021/10/31/the-political-manifesto/ https://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/digital/collection/DE2/id/201100 https://news.google.com.au/newspapers?nid=Aul-kAQHnToC&dat=18961109&printsec=frontpage&hl=en https://www.uen.org/utah_history_encyclopedia/e/ELECTIONS.shtml https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Party_(Utah) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1896_United_States_presidential_election_in_Utah https://archive.org/details/improvementera3707unse/page/434/mode/2up?view=theater https://archiveviewer.org/collections/en/improvement-era#1934 https://mormonstudies.as.virginia.edu/david-o-mckay-diary-excerpts/w-cleon-skousen/ https://www.qsaltlake.com/news/2009/09/28/the-oppressive-50s/ http://www.nomorestrangers.org/timeline-of-mormon-thinking-about-homosexuality/ http://www.elisarolle.com/queerplaces/fghij/Jack%20Pembroke.html https://www.glapn.org/sodomylaws/sensibilities/utah.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_rights_in_Utah#Conversion_therapy https://books.google.com/books?id=rlC1DgAAQBAJ&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Brigham_Young_University_LGBTQ_history https://web.archive.org/web/20100122080551/http://www.affirmation.org/memorial/joseph_fielding_smith.shtml https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1981/04/elder-charles-a-callis-twentieth-century-missionary?lang=eng https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_A._Callis https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2001/04/them-that-honour-me-i-will-honour?lang=eng https://thesingleleaf.com/tag/charles-albert-callis/ https://rsc.byu.edu/prophets-apostles-last-dispensation/charles-albert-callis https://catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/assets/2d1fb5a0-211a-4908-baca-5e3dd9e145eb/0/178?lang=eng https://history.churchofjesuschrist.org/chd/individual/charles-albert-callis-1866?lang=eng Article Shannon brought up: The Role of the LDS Church in Utah Politics: An Insider's Look  https://www.mrm.org/utah-politics    MOGP: Minority Report: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181689/?ref_=tttrv  Where it's streaming: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/minority-report    Happy News: https://apnews.com/article/sarah-mcbride-congress-transgender-lgbtq-delaware-9cce7f778e6b57dfdb08986d7410404e?taid=677918364fe1660001b83485&utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter   Email: glassboxpodcast@gmail.com  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GlassBoxPod  Patreon page for documentary: https://www.patreon.com/SeerStonedProductions Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/glassboxpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/GlassBoxPod  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glassboxpodcast/  Merch store: https://www.redbubble.com/people/exmoapparel/shop Or find the merch store by clicking on “Store” here: https://glassboxpodcast.com/index.html One time Paypal donation: bryceblankenagel@gmail.com  Venmo: Shannon-Grover-10  

Host Sterling Bennett reacts to the San Francisco 49ers Week 1 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers including Brock Purdy continuing his record-breaking streak, Christian McCaffrey showing why he's the catalyst of the offense, and Brandon Aiyuk dices up Patrick Peterson. Also, Drake Jackson puts a claim to the DE2 job, Fred Warner leads the hunt, and Talanao Hufanga does his best Troy Polamalu impression vs. Kenny Pickett. Plus, Kyle Shanahan gets aggressive, how did Colton McKivitz fair against TJ Watt, and the 49ers send a message to the rest of the NFL.

Wir sind mitten in der heißen Phase des NFL-Sommers angekommen. Die Camps laufen auf Hochtouren, es wird um die Rosterspots gefightet und die Systeme sowie die Chemie verinnerlicht. Auf der Suche nach Chemie sind Bene und Julez aber nicht. Wie gewohnt geleiten sie durch die Folge und besprechen für euch die Vorkommnisse sowie Beobachtungen der einzelnen Positionsgruppen. Wer hat gerade die Nase vorne (gerade bei WR 4-6, CB2, DE2)? Wo sind wir noch etwas dünn besetzt? Neben diesen Fragen wird auch auf die Sperre von Kamara eingegangen, sich über einen „Experten“ echauffiert und on top kommt noch ein kleiner Ausblick auf das Pre Season Game 1. Die Folge isz vollgepackt und startklar für euch. Wie immer wünschen wir viel Spaß beim reinhören! ⚜️

In hour 2 of the show, Kyle reacted to the biggest sounds in sports with What Did You Say?!?!? and Kyle looks at a potential DE2 target for the Panthers this offseason and if it should be considered.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Playing with DALL·E 2, published by Dave Orr on April 7, 2022 on LessWrong. I got access to Dall·E 2 yesterday. Here are some pretty pictures! My goal was to try to understand what things DE2 could do well, and what things it had trouble understanding or generating. My general hypothesis is that it would do a better job with things that are easy to find on the internet (cute animals, digital scifi things, famous art) and less well with more abstract or more unusual things. Here's how it works: you put in a description of a picture, and it thinks for ~20 seconds and then produces 10 photos that are variations on that description. The diversity varies quite a bit depending on the prompt. Let's see some puppies! One thing to be aware of when you see amazing pictures that DE2 generates, is that there is some cherry picking going on. It often takes a few prompts to find something awesome, so you might have looked at dozens of images or more. Still, this is pretty great! Those are recognizably goldendoodle puppies, mostly in something approximating play position. You can see that the proportions in the generated images are not quite right, and some of the detail is off if you look closely. For instance, the front legs are too long here, the face isn't quite right, and the ears are a bit weird. Still, it's pretty amazing given that it generated this from scratch. Check out how realistic the grass looks. I also like that the background is blurred, though not quite in the way that a camera would do it -- the transition is too abrupt. Ok but the point of this isn't that they have a great image generation transformer, though it's clearly that. The key thing is is its magical ability to actually follow instructions or descriptions of images. Particularly interesting is compositionality -- can it combine concepts to generate something it's never seen before? Answer: yes! The concept of "kitten" is pretty simply, though note that a kitten can be rendered in a ton of ways, from line drawings to cute art to photorealistic. Pop art is more complicated: it's a celebration of everyday images, and one of the most commonly known versions is Warhol's collection of repeated images in a grid with neon colors that vary per cell. And it mostly gets those things right. What about weird things? You can put in any input and it'll do something. None of those are twitter worthy, but with some trial and error you can get things that are interesting. "Digital style" is one of the suggestions for getting better images. X in Y style is fun, that's a lot of the images you see out in the world. Weirdly it's pretty sensitive to exactly the order you put things in. Back to puppies, you get pretty different results depending on the placement of "surrealistic" even though the rephrasings seem semantically identical or at least very similar. One place where DE2 clearly falls down is in generating people. I generated an image for [four people playing poker in a dark room, with the table brightly lit by an ornate chandelier], and people didn't look human -- more like the typical GAN-style images where you can see the concept but the details are all wrong. Update: image removed because the guidelines specifically call out not sharing realistic human faces. Anything involving people, small defined objects, and so on, looks much more like the previous systems in this area. You can tell that it has all the concepts, but can't translate them into something realistic. This could be deliberate, for safety reasons -- realistic images of people are much more open to abuse than other things. Porn, deep fakes, violence, and so on are much more worrisome with people. They also mentioned that they scrubbed out lots of bad stuff from the training data; possibly one way they did that was removing most images with people. Thi...
