You're right, better to invert it and put antarctica in the middle.

This is beautiful, especially with the colors on the top right - though I have a nitpick that it is missing an entire continent (probably because it doesn't show up in a list of countries): Antarctica Edit: I now realize it's only

Of course it's the intention of the user that matters here, I just see that these models give easy access to make extremely derivative works from existing artist's work - and I feel that's an unethical use of the unethically

It does just that though? Don't tell me nobody is surpised sometimes while prompting a diffusion model, that can only happen if a significant portion of creation happens, in a non-intuitive way for the user - what you could describe as

I'm thinking the same way, plein air painting is a nice activity. You get something nothing can take away from you, any kind of mark you make with your own body is yours. At least at the moment, using prompt- or inpainting-based tools

You can search the LAION5B CLIP-space and you find a lot of mickey in it, lots of fan art between photos of actual merch. If you search with a high aesthetic score, you'll find lots of actual Disney illustrations etc. in the neighbourh

What's in the plane is private, where the plane is isn't. Twitter (and Musk) has access to pinpoint each of their users with the same precision, I feel it's a poetic balance.

When the internet is flooded with crappy AI content, people will move to walled gardens even more, since they can afford the cost of moderation.

I'm looking forward to people finding ways to throw their sabots into the gears. Stickers on stop signs. AI only works because we give them easily interpretable data - the neck (bottleneck or metaphorical neck) is the data. And the dat

If you don't need a technical-co-founder, then nobody needs one - it boils down to: who can convince someone with money to fund the business? What if you have the AI and a domain expert? How do you stack up in funding against someone w

Imagine you're in an SME and your CEO, who doesn't know about how difficult things are to implement, asking chatGPT about certain topics and permanently, secretly believing the thing in parts. That's the real nightmare, not w

Imagine future use like a multidimensional search, instead of direct text match you get text + context match. Edit: I think the 'conversing' with the bot part will go away since people will become tired of holding a conversation t

Not just that, the technology allows for the seamless integration of ads into content that you'd like to read / look at. Product-placement (Edit: even elegant and subtle product placement) can be automated now.

Maybe the APIs for generating that AI content will include paragraphs to advertise their content free-form in the prose and not neatly separated to where you can block the ad. The tech allows for seamless integration of ads.

You can do that on windows, with GPU compute shaders and syncs - at least in that case on Linux, you can switch to terminal to kill the process. On windows, can't click, to kill a process you need the GPU to render your process managin

We'll need other systems to fact check and summarize all the bullshit these put out. The noise level will go up magnitudes.

You don't need AGI for that, just compute. As soon as you formulate the requirements to the model (objective function) and the dataset, methods can be iterated and found automatically, in principle. If it can program a desktop applicat
