Compared to hosting other things? Nothing! It's great. Hosting my own service rather than using a free SaaS solution that is entirely someone else's problem? There's a significant difference there. I've been running Linu

A huge part of art is distinguishing between what "feels" right and what would be the case in reality. Even in the spaces I usually work in-- 3D animaton and film-- things in the background or maybe out-of-focus in the foreground

I'm sure some marketer has an email chain open with a developer asking if they can use it to help advertise bigger houses to TikTok users who film at home, or something like that. Or maybe advertise luxury products to people who are in

Not that same thing, though. Reproduction isn't the purpose of considering artistic decisions you've made-- it's to reflect on and refine your eye, ability to communicate things visually, and your trajectory as an artist. Tha

If it impacted their business significantly, it would restore some of the faith I've lost in humanity recently. Frankly, I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah I haven't put a new codebease on GH in years. It's kind of a PITA hosting my own gitea server for personal projects but letting MS copy my work to help make my professional skillset less valuable is far less palatable. Compan

I wonder how many people that are really mad about these guys or SE using their professional output to train models thought commercial artists were just being whiny sore losers when Deviant Art, Adobe, OpenAI, Stability, et al did it to th

Nah. Whoever decided to create the reality their counsel is dancing around with this disclaimer is the actual problem, though it's mostly a problem for us, rather than them.

If people drank only to get drunk bars would go out of business instantly. A single drink made with a rail liquor pays for the whole bottle. Like it or not, sharing alcoholic beverages is a social bonding experience for many people, and for

The main difference for my use case is what's usable about off-the-mark creative output to those who engage with it. With an LLM's hallucination, bullshit was made, bullshit was received, and that's that. If you figure out it

Baseless pessimism is exactly as useful as baseless optimism.

Yes: I also think we must vocally, expressly reject anything that I don't find to be completely necessary. Other use cases == doing it wrong.

Would such an attacker be stymied by this? It seems like automated email harvesting wouldn't be a big time saver for any attack that required a well-crafted anything. I don't know anything about that particular attack, though.

One of my biggest struggles in doing AI stuff on consumer hardware is heat. I noticed zero discussion of this so I assume it's an implementation detail on small systems that doesn't really factor into more robust setups. Is that t

by chefandy 2y ago
Yeah new to me, and I think I've had my fill. There are people saying things just as interesting that aren't shamelessly glib about it. As I said in my reply to your sibling comment: I'm an art school guy, so I'm well-v

Yeah I hadn't actually read anything from him before, and maybe this was just the wrong piece to start on, but this doesn't inspire me to find out. The points were interesting, but not nearly enough to justify being that glib when

That wasn't true in 2017, either. Though the author makes some interesting points, he conflates catalysts, causes, and cultural movements and just calls it all self-expression, and casually makes some rather eyebrow-raising assertions

I think you probably need to re-read what I wrote. I'm not against AI at all-- I use it all the time. I just don't think it's going to be qualitatively better than human creative output because how something was made matters

Well, I think that celebrity vs husband is not a good analog for human vs generated. I also think that in this case, origin has broader connotations than provenance, in that it includes context. What if the celebrity chef was your wife&#x27

Sure, they may well be quantitatively better. If you were to create metrics to measure the number of mistakes or weird spots or overly annoying things, it's quite possible that the output from the algorithm could score better than huma

Nobody price gouges unless market forces let them. It simply wouldn't work. And they also didn't create the situation that allowed them to price gouge. Yet, it's still price gouging. "But the market " is not a defe
