It’s very weird for a community that’s generally tech savvy. I think there’s a lot of manipulation going on. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that almost only anti-AI articles get posted but I’m also against baseless accusations so I mostly shut up about it.

I mostly agree with what you are saying but I do think sourcing it ethically is a pipe dream.

It’s impossible to get all that data from individuals, it’s way too complicated. What’s already happening is the websites are selling the data and they all have it in their terms of service that they can, even Cara the supposedly pro artist website.

The individuals are not getting compensated and all regulations proposed are aimed at making this the only option. If companies have to pay for all that data while Google and Microsoft are paying premiums to have exclusive access, the open source scene dies overnight.

It really seems to me like there’s a media campaign being run to poison the general populations sentiment so AI companies can turn to the government and say “see, we want regulations, the public wants regulations, it’s a win win”. It’s regulatory capture.

I’m also pro piracy and use it myself for all my media. I still consider it theft even if moral but I understand your point about it stealing from artist. I just don’t think any current regulation will help artists. Personally, I advocate for copy left licenses for anything that uses public data but I sadly have never seen any proposed law or government document mention it.

I know how AI works. I was using collage to show that it’s much less transformative than AI while still being accepted.

It also doesn’t copy bits. It has an internal network of bits and it shifts their weight with each images. It’s learning from the images akin to how a human would, not copying. This is far from a perfect analogy, there’s a mountain that separates a human brain from a neural network, it’s just that both processes would be copying under your definition.

If I write a reference book, I need to reference my source if I’m quoting things. Even if I saw it in 2 different books .

This is a tool to help and guide. In terms of LLMs, trying to get references out of it is just a terrible use case. It’s suppose to be verified at all times and clearly should never be itself quoted.

For images, this is like expecting each artists to reference what influenced them. Having unrealistic thoroughly invented expectations doesn’t mean the tech is failing or bad.

This kind of attitude has some weird “everything has to be true on the internet” vibe. I wouldn’t expect actual truth and references from reddit posts, I don’t understand why people expect it from a guided rng machine.

If I read a book into a podcast and change a few words, take credit and don’t give any to the original author is that ok?

If you read a hundred books and then built a podcast episode on what you learned from all those book, that would be okay and is a lot closer to what llms are doing.

Its just a combined data scraper with some random data.

That’s what AI is. 98% of machine learning is scrapping data and training models on it.

It’s asinine to compare AI with block chain. Block chain uses are very limited while my own 60 year old mother uses AI in her work. It depends on your work but there’s immense use cases for AIs, and most people that use it regularly can attest it’s a huge productivity boost even if it isn’t perfect and it has to be verified.

I also suggest you look up copyright laws. It’s clearly transformative. If collage is legal, how can AI not be?

Not to mention that we use AI already everyday. Any app that identifies songs, plants or insects uses AI. So does Google translate or your autocorrect on your phone (I’m not entirely certain about the second one).

If our government won’t force these companies to copyleft the models, the least they could do is not create a walled garden where only Microsoft and Google can afford to train models, something you are advocating without realizing. You are essentially being a mouthpiece for big AI companies and big data companies who are trying to shoot open source in the foot.

Individuals aren’t getting a dime, this is about if we can run these models on our PC or only through their subscription service.

Have you ever used Google translate or apps that identify bugs/plants/songs? AI is used in products you most likely use every week.

You are also arguing for a closed garden system where companies like reddit and Getty get to dictate who can make models and at what price.

Individual are never getting a dime out of this. In a perfect world, governments would be fighting for copyleft licenses for anything using big data but every law being proposed is meant to create a soft monopoly owned by Microsoft and Google and kill open-source.

Lemme is very pro-piracy so that’s kind of a silly statement. It’s also worth noting that AI is clearly transformative. Collage is literally legal, how could AI be stealing?

The problem is that it’s making the field hyper competitive by “stealing” jobs, but photoshop and photography did this as well in their time.

No one cried about translators losing their niche because of Google since just like generative AI, it benefits society as a whole in the end.

He said generally intelligent, In the context of the first reply using the term AGI. There is a difference between artificial intelligence and artificial general intelligence.

I make sure to only dream about Tesla’s (they actually work in the dream world)

Interactive dream worlds is essentially full dive vr. I guess you could just not use it, and while you’re dreaming about losing your teeth, I’ll be living through whatever movie I picked before going to bed.

So for those that didn’t read the article, it basically explains how LLMs have a negative connotation about AAE. When asked to associate words with AAE written phrases, it used words like “aggressive”. When given a normal English phrase and the same phrase but in AAE and then asked what jobs would suit this person, the LLM gave low income jobs for the AAE statement with broader options for the normal English one.

It’s a serious problem because people that naturally write in AAE are most likely getting worse results. It stems mostly from old rascist newspaper articles and similar things.

For those that cannot access it:

Disappear pressure

I’m usually very suspicious of anything related to hydrogen but this seems like a great way to go about it.

Appel also points out that his gels are environmentally friendly, and composed only of materials that are already approved for use by the US Forestry Service. When eventually washed off, the aerogel is handily broken down by soil microbes.

What a neat discovery. It’s something you can potentially spray on things to protect them and it just washes. I’m guessing it’s harder to manage once it gets cooked so to speak.

Avoid anything that comes in plastic packaging and distill your own water. You will still need to drink normal water but I can’t imagine any municipality is currently equipped to deal with microplastic so reducing your intake is probably a good idea.

Short of moving somewhere very rural and growing all your own food, it is close to impossible.

It’s a shame only the introduction is available, I was interested in reading the whole paper.

Edit: if anyone wants to read it, there’s the full pdf available if you search the title on Google scholar.

In my experienced, it’s never used in a voting manner, it’s mostly to acknowledge and smiley faces (usually always from the same people). Serving the same propose isn’t the same as being tailored for that purpose. For instance, I don’t recall being able to order posts by amount of emoticons on teams although I don’t know if you can do this with Nintendo’s version, I’m just assuming. The actual bulletin part of teams where you can post things gets barely any use in my experience.

Tbh I’m not a big fan of teams in general. I don’t have much experience with slack though.

They can “like” posts, which I found pretty novel in a business environment. It lets the employees vote on what’s important.

When dealing with fish, a bigger system with more water is usually more stable.
