I've heard that the mobilized people are used as a sort of early-warning meatshield for the more veteran forces by from an intercepted call by Ukrainian SIGINT (ofc veracity cannot be independently confirmed), which gels with Russian B

If you browse LAION (e.g. using this [0]), which SD uses you find all sorts of owned IP there (shutterstock, artstation, fanart from deviantart and tumblr etc.) - because it's a research data set. LAION has a disclaimer that it does no

This is the niveau of comparing the performance of a fast-food employee taking a weird order to trying to enter it on a touch-screen panel.

You can write down an equation for evaluating a ray-traced picture with perfect mathematical precision, you just cannot evaluate the integral for any scene that is non-trivial. MC is the integration technique for it. Edit: so you know exact

Maybe VR will have no killer app, maybe the interfaces will be RR - remote reality. I think lots of autonomous system promises won't hold, you'll have people in the loop with VR headsets controlling an entire swarm of drones and v

The fundamental problem is, that captchas need to be generated - what you would need is a captcha generator generator. That way, a human could figure out how the specifically generated generator works within a certain amount of shots, befor

I feel the opposite way, it's not rational but when my work gives me all kinds of amenities like that, I feel like some sort of pet in a zoo. What are lunches and gyms and all kinds of dumb peanuts in contrast to health care and stabil

Also, what's lacking at is intention. If you click through a million suggestions for inpaints, you're not the artist but rather a customer, commissioning an artist. It's a step from artist to art director - the difference bet

Can you rotate a plutonium "carousel" fast enough and then make all the pieces crash into a wall, onto each other... Edit: Idk, something about flywheels, they can store a huge amount of energy and release it very quickly.

People will look at this and think: If this is possible, what other knowledge work can have its first 80% of work automated? It'll create free money to go harder for all kinds of other fields.

Pretty much all of knowledge work is on the table, I feel - this is a litmus test for how any other profession will be treated by the public eye in the future. With art, maybe artisans will get more work since people may want their picture

Nobody would be interested in it really, since everyone (would have) (edit) their own thing they want others to check out. It's like fan fiction collections online, or the 80% of deviantart that you really don't want to spend time

Same license treatment as the training data. Edit: Nobody cares about licenses since they don't want to be asked about how they licensed the training data.

It's not illegal, but if an artist does it, like deliberately copy another artist's style, as in more than a tribute but an attempt at carbon copy, that artist is almost shunned. So the nonlinear diffusion systems out there are to

Your post sums up my feelings very well and I feel that many people are quite jealous of people with artistic ability, not seeing the work it took to get there. Let's have a Butlerian Jihad.

One thing that is not mentioned here or anywhere really is the human skill of illustrating what you mean as a communications tool for making art, e.g. in engineering or in world-building or cooperation on art. You sit together with people a

I wonder whether that has its downsides though - with Google, Apple etc. being involved in development I wonder whether that hollows out the core of participating developers and functionally makes the project dependent on paid employees.

But in theory, someone controlling a walled garden could do the same that youtube does with any kind of content. If the app doesn't work in a transparent manner anymore, you can just shoehorn unblockable ads into it.

Physics can replicate electromagnetic effects with an extremely high degree of precision, it's almost trivial to replicate said effects. Physics has formulated models of how electromagnetism works and from that model, predicted other e

It's as much engineering as SEO. Though with the 'prompt engineering' it's the human brain trying to coax something out of the black box - ironically, an algorithm might be better at generating the prompts after being gi

In my mind a fitting analogy to building software is like designing and building a machine or a physical tool in mechanical engineering: like a CNC machine, a laser cutter with an optical system for processing etc. There are no rules in des

Everything is money. But! There are subcultures that are hard to monetize though, e.g. furry subculture since it comes with so much pornography. No brand wants to be close to that. At this point, as a furry artist, I feel it's refreshi

I'd be interested in how the calibration works, you need known samples for the energy and not all of them are easy to get.

I wonder whether The Myth of Sysiphus wouldn't be more apt for something like that. But I'd pick an academic text too, though I'm not sure which one. There are many textbooks outside of my expertise that could be just as inte

This kills the diabetic. Though seriously, if you make the pills, you do not need to put anything on it, you can include colorized patterns in the pill itself during fabrication. Any mechanical problems are pretty much nonexistant. The patt

So the only thing left is handiwork I guess. Engineering isn't different from art in any way, the constraints are just stricter.
