For completeness sake what I meant by deception: > In order to process the murder of thousands of people, great pains were taken to deceive the victims concerning their fate. Jews deported from ghettos and concentration camps to the deat

It happened with equal systematic design for our own species, for which this article prompted me to spend ten minutes to read through this [0] again. Though to be honest, the German wikipedia article paints a way more visceral picture of th

That there can be a good utility model remains a postulate. How can you know that your choice of utility or trying to aim for utility at all does not have catastrophic consequences, sowing more misery through unintended consequences? How ca

Even without quantum effects, determinism doesn't enable us to do much with it, except statistical ensemble predictions. We can never know the initial state of a system to infinite precision, as is needed to predict its trajectory. [0]

Can you make a retina scanner good enough that it recognizes a retina correctly with 99.999999% accuracy? Retinas can change, get damaged.

I don't know but it also fails to disregard that the smartest people (whatever that means) can have executive function issues that are orthogonal to their mental capacity. Additionally, the belief that intelligence alone will improve t

But doesn't it say: > The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. So that's a required attribution if you want to follow the MIT license?

This is only my opinion but my opinion is asked for: I would consider buying if the book stated what model they were trained with and then whether that model sources its training data ethically via opt-in or public-domain. Same as I wouldn&

I think with endless escapism being a reality, people will get bored and focus on the real world again.

The 'rules' of making a picture are codified in the large pre-trained model, the 32 examples are just guidance on top.

She already has a great reputation, since she does works for Disney. That's basically commercial artist endgame.

As an artist you can spot parts though that have the same 'visual language' that are much larger than 2 pixels. E.g. how someone uses their brushes, how someone does texture on corrugated metal etc. Those are footprints as large a

If you're in the freelance art-sphere, the victims are also small artists who have been hustling hard to be able to live from their art.

The fact that it is a different form of compression doesn't change that it's compression. What is the argument here, that a numerical method should have the same rights as a person?

I'm an artist and I work in tech - I'd be very interested in working with the models if I didn't find the idea of using something made out of the labor of my peers repulsive. Call me a training-set vegan, any model made from

There are so many arguments here about big C copyright (Disney etc.) and how it is evil and that it shouldn't be an argument - but what I'm seeing is that small artists, freelancers are getting hurt by the output mostly at this po

I don't think this is freedom - as long as some company with a million time the resources that I have can train a better model, I'm only ever using the models someone with power gives me, no matter how small a device the model run

A digital photo of the Eiffel tower at night doesn't have the real Eiffel tower inside, only weights and pixels - still you don't have the rights to publish your photo of the Eiffel tower in France.

It's inevitable that someone comes up with methods to detect generated images, since a lot of political (Edit: and financial) capital hinges on that. If AI image generation is inevitable, then methods to analyze images wrt. known gener

It's the difference between a bus and hiking: With a bus, you can arrive at lots of places fast but you will never experience the place as the hiker does.

A good human driver also gauges the limits of their own experience and 'phase transitions' into a more cautious mode of driving. Is that something the algos can do? Infer the familiarity of the situation?

Probably because of false positives and removing radar, because "it's not needed".

I'm only citing experts on the matter (to paraphrase a quote: "all that is needed is access to a modern university's biology lab") but I think the reason we're not seeing attacks like that is that you cannot control

These kinds of experiments are going to be done either way - for example gain-of-function research on animal smallpox (which usually doesn't kill and can't infect humans) to make it lethal. Experts on the matter (I read a book rec

Interestingly it's the same with attribution requirements for art, but since it's not written words, nobody can claim: "this part is exactly my GPL code". But with art it's "this is exactly how I do texture on

You can claim it but the emperor is naked, except if the artist actually made generative models that you can run, then the model can produce new art - but I feel it still would have been made by the original creator, not by whoever buys the

If someone can design a company structure where you decouple your employees from their superiors entirely, it'll be inhuman but I bet there will be people who will try. The AI hype is just so strong.
