How long until the AI just generates the entire frame buffer on a device? Then you don’t need to design or program anything; the AI just handles all input and output dynamically.
The concern trolling and gatekeeping about social justice issues coming from the so-called "ethicists" in the AI peanut gallery has been utterly ridiculous. Google claims they don't want to release Imagen because it lacks what can only be called "latent space affirmative action". Stability or someone like it will valiantly release this technology, again and there will be absolutely no harm to anyone. Stop being so to…

So you would say that if FB fails to censor a video titled "vaccines cause autism" that drives engagement, they are more morally culpable for the content than if Google spends TPU cycles rendering the Imagen prompt input: "detailed video about why vaccines cause autism, scientific, realistic, in the style of a public health announcement" ?
IMO facebook should stop "engagement based" recommendation engines until they have the ability to stop them being abused. Change the platform to show chronological posts from things users have subscribed to. They could perhaps have a curated selection of content that FB employees have screened to be good for general distribution. There is a world of difference between someone manually seeking out and subscribing to a…

There is a difference in ease of use. I could never use photoshop to fake something like that even if I wanted to. Further, we have seen harm come from some of this already, there’s a pretty big online community that uses deepfakes to put people in situations they would rather not be in, the most obvious being porn.
> There is a difference in ease of use. I could never use photoshop to fake something like that even if I wanted to. You couldn't, but basically any VFX shop easily could. Point is, it doesn't make anything possible that wasn't already possible, it just makes it more accessible. That's an inevitability with technology, as time goes on. The counter is not to try and suppress it, that has never worked and never will.
It's always individuals who want to harm others in this particular way; and individuals don't throw around big-VFX-project amounts of money on petty revenge. But they'd certainly spend $20.
DDoS attacks got a lot (1000x) more commonplace once there were DDoS services that let you buy an hour of attacking someone for $20. Same idea here.

There is a clear risk from these sorts of models as they get better - I mean recreating specific individuals’ likenesses in compromising images (or even worse, video). We’re not at that point yet, but these things are getting better fast, so it’s only a matter of time. The problem is that there’s no way to mitigate those risks except to keep the model behind an inference-only API, or not release it at all - as soon a…
This is not new. Imagine not releasing tools like curl or nmap because it can be used for hacking. The issue is, as an industry and society, we somehow bought the "safety" and "harm" charade a little bit too much, and somehow think it's a reasonable argument instead of being completely insane.
It's interesting that these models can generate seemingly anything, but the prompt is taken only as a vague suggestion. From the first 15 examples shown to me, only one contained all elements of the prompt, and it was one of the simplest ("an astronaut riding a horse", versus e.g. "a glass ball falling in water" where it's clear it was a water droplet falling and not a glass ball). We're seeing leaps in random capabi…
The way I see it, input being confined to a "text description" is the next immediate problem that needs to be solved. I don't think we can rely on textual inputs for much longer as the human language is too imprecise and/or verbose. It's hard to imagine what exactly the optimal interface would be, but I'm thinking we'll need ways to dictate attributes for each entity being represented, the backdrop, and the view comp…

And copilot-like code, possibly Q1 2023.
"Generate the code base for an advanced diffusion model that can improve on the code base for an advanced diffusion model"

High definition is relative. Compared to the previous gen of AI videos, they are extremely crisp.
