No disagreement. This is only relevant for the AI-bro fantasy of AI becoming exponentially smarter than humans.

I know this isn't a popular opinion, but $54m is not even full-sized peanuts. Both in the cocaine world, and in the crypto world. Not to speak of Oracle. Why is this interesting enough to write about? There is illegal money in crypto?

Love the tone of the article. Example: Our marketing folks would say the characters are more responsive and lifelike than ever before; our internal dev notes described it as "the characters won't bump or get stuck into objects in

The way I understand the paper, his is still a domain-specific tasks, and it is interpolating. What (according to the paper) transformer models are bad at, is out-of-domain extrapolation (which given that modern models are basically trained

It's a vicious cycle. As long as the punisher types are cops, the "right" people are disincentivized to join, whereas other punisher types feel welcome. :-(

Just one (of many) examples: I asked for scores in several different categories, and the total score was not what the individiual scores added up to. I mentioned this, the model apologized, and gave another total score (also wrong).

Why are transformer models so bad at math? They often fail at simple addition.

TLDR: transformer models (on gpt2 scale) are great (near-optimal) at interpolating between the cases given in (pre-)training, but as soon as we leave the training domain fail at extrapolation. Impressive results may be more due to the wide

Alphanullmeric said "ip shouldn't be a thing". Then CZL asked about the situation where "authorship is in doubt". To which I answered: You don't need no copyright to be a liar and a fraud. To which you answered

Lying isn't illegal, but "collecting money from anyone you can trick" is. It is fraud. What is so hard about this?

You are straw-manning. Imagine you encounter a public domain image (which by definition is not protected by copyright), you download it, and put it on your website. Perfectly fine. But if you write "I made this image" below it, yo

What does the creator's right have to do with lying? (1) Lying is bad. (2) Lying and "collecting money from anyone you can trick" is fraud. (3) Fraud is illegal, and that has nothing to do with copyright. You are massively st

In the early stuffs, Stable Diffusion 1 (not XL 1!) and such, if you prompted for stock photo style images, you regularly (~30%) got something resembling the Getty stock photo watermark in the lower right. Was quite annoying but adding &quo

"falling hunger during a time of rising population" I find it astonishing that Monbiot manages to mention China's famines in the 1950s and 1960s, but somehow fails to mention that most of the progress in the fight against hun

If I understand correctly, the older method you describe has been replaced by exposing a GPT model to some further training (as opposed to "pre-training") with successful conversations. I think this premiered with the InstructGPT

Yea, but he proposed shifting the phase of the physical signal (16.5khz) which supposedly matches the frequency of the imaginary signal. I still think it's unlikely to work.

I am sorry, but I really don't understand. With the same seed, and an extremely similar prompt, why would you get an entirely different image? If I take seed 9999999 (just example) and my prompts are (1) "very large gothic church

Please keep in mind that most (nearly all?) of our climate models only include rising carbon emissions from human sources. Thawing permafrost and warming swamps and burning forests and such will (very likely) produce additional carbon(-equi

if i understand it correctly, this is an a-priori mapping from font to style, the ml model doesn't interpret the font. I might be wrong tho, the paper isn't super clear.

I looked at this, and thought about it, and then I waited for an hour, and now I looked at it again, and I can't help but think this is useless. We can already weigh parts of prompts, we can already specify colors or styles for parts o
