Thank you too, this discussion really helped me in getting a more nuanced view on this whole topic. I still think OpenAI should be allowed to generate these kind of images, but just from of a selfish "I want to use this to generate la

> Well, precisely. What then is the AI company's justification for charging money to paint a picture of Harrison Ford to its users? Formulated this way, I see your point. I see the LLM as a tool, just like photoshop. From a legal st

No, it first generates the image and then another completely different component checks the image for adherence to the guidelines. So it's not your prompt that violates the guidelines, but the resulting image (which is different every

Sorry, but these images are exactly what comes to my mind immediately when reading the prompts. You can argue about intellectual property theft (though I find it funny that the same people that would boycott Disney for suing a fanfiction au

Yes. So advertising gets more expensive when targeting EU users. The users don't care, so there wouldn't be much public backlash. And the advertisers will either cut back / relocate their ad spendings or raise their marketing

Higher Prices? What is the "Price" of Instagram and Google Maps? But on the other hand, how would you put tariffs on these? The good thing is: If the EU finds a way to tax the money flowing from advertisers to big tech, consumers

You‘re right. I’m actually doing this quite often when coding. Starting with a few iterative promts to get a general outline of what I want and when that’s ok, copy the outline to a new chat and flesh out the details. But that’s still itera

To quote myself from a comment on sora: Iterations are the missing link. With ChatGPT, you can iteratively improve text (e.g., "make it shorter," "mention xyz"). However, for pictures (and video), this functionality is n

This sounds like something Elon twitters just before he alters the grok base prompt to make it talk positively about DOGE.

It‘s so sad that this happens all the time. People have valid arguments based on facts and then continue to tell stories based on their opinions and values.

How can you create a training set that will allow the LLM to answer complicated chemistry and physics questions but now how to build a bomb?

by planb 2y ago
Philosophy aside - how can an LLM be conscious without a memory or manifestation in the real world? It is a function that, given an input, returns an output and stops existing afterwards. You wouldn't argue that f(x)=x^2 is conscious?

So had the companies that crashed in the Dotcom Bubble. And still a pet food delivery service (like the infamous pets.com) can be a profitable and sustaining business now (> 20 years later).

Sorry for the late answer. My fingerbot just talks bluetooth and can be operated via ble locally. Just like your zigbee devices. That's because they are not "Tuya devices" they are simple hardware devices that can be remote c

Really you seem to be the one who's trolling here, or you do not understand why people use containers because you don't have their use case.

We're not talking about Dockerfiles here, but about images from a registry. How many times faster and more reproducible is "docker run myimage:1.0.0" compared to your solution?

The problem with Tuya is that they don't manufacture the devices themselves. Instead, they provide a standardized interface for all those low-cost manufacturers and get paid by them. If it were easy to fake Tuya requests or set up your

Look at it again without the knowledge of the last 18 years! And from the position of a Nokia employee back then. This is an extremely well made executive summary for that time.

While I also took the parent comment as sarcasm and see a valid critique in there, what's really ridiculous here is your comment. Determining age, race and gender from an image is possible in the majority of cases. It becomes problema

Your criticism seems somewhat misplaced. An open-source facial recognition library enables the peasants to wield the same tools that the monarchs already have at their disposal. The cat is out of the bag, and there’s no putting it back.

This is satire, right? The completely off-topic mentioning of your graphics programming skills, the overconfidence, the phrase "delve into"... Let me guess: The prompt was "Write a typical HN response to this post"
