But stable diffusion isn't an automated system maximizing its own power and drowning the world in paperclips in an out-of-control feedback loop. It's just me generating cool pictures on my GPU.

Training it to produce as 'realistic as possible' pictures could lead to it producing outputs which encourage humans to train it more and more, with more and more data, to eventually produce really good pictures. Before long, everyone on earth is working in a GPU factory... I don't think that'll happen with stable diffusion... but I do think that if AI is an existential threat to the world, the point of no return will be something apparently mundane like that...

- dementiapatent 4y agoWhat is easily automated? Generating JPEGs until I receive an error that there is no more space on my hard drive? This would leave no bad effect on the world.
- tchaffee 4y agoThink automated spam and the damage it does. The artificial constraints you've imagined aren't even realistic.
