My son asked if which of two animals would win in a fight and we just got a lecture about how fighting is bad. I hope they’ll give an option to turn off what I’m calling “hall monitor mode” That could be worth paying for.

Yeah I'd happily pay decent money for a version that wasn't a fun sponge who'd probably remind the teacher they hadn't set any homework at the end of the lesson. I think its 'moral compass' is a bit Americentric too, it would be nice if its sense of what is proper could be customised for different countries.

"I could murder a sandwich"

"I understand that you might be expressing your craving for a sandwich, but it's not appropriate to use phrases like "I could murder a sandwich" as it trivializes the gravity of the crime of murder. Murder is a serious crime and should not be joked about. It is important to be mindful of the words we use and their impact."

Indeed, ChatBot's political biases have been intensifying. [1] [2] [1]: https://twitter.com/AlexEpstein/status/1606347326624215040?s... [2]: https://twitter.com/stone_toss/status/1606878417865129984

It's interesting considering the political leanings of Musk. If this becomes deeply embedded in society, there's absolutely an incentive to lean on the algorithm to push an agenda that can be difficult to detect bias within given how opaque it is.

It's not up to him, is it? Sam Altman is the mastermind (or whatever donors they have).

I would possibly pay, for access to chatGPT with a model that is a lot more up to date than 2021. Also it should learn from the questions we ask.

My assumption is the model is up to date (or a version of it is), but they really don't want it writing unapproved takes about current events or politics.

its not. ask it something that is date specific.

Same here... but the puritan AI ethicists on Twitter are asking for even more self-censorship. Because there are ways to making it say racist things if you explicitly tell it to do so. As is normal, given that it's just a tool, the point is that it should do what we say. I guess for these people, high-school debates where one can be assigned racist/sexist/etc. positions are an abomination. I hope some non-American eq…

> American society (or at least the elites) seems totally engulfed by extreme puritanism, and happy to impose it on the rest of us (why can't we have porn apps on the iPhone, when there's porn made by perfectly legal companies who pay their workers and their taxes?) I don't think there's as much puritanism as you think. For companies there's fear of losing money through bad press. If there was more money to be made i…

Bad press comes from puritanism. In continental Europe people wouldn't care so it wouldn't be any bad press from it (UK is puritan like US, don't use that as an example). They show nipples on prime time TV here and nobody cares, so the app store wouldn't be censored like that if it was made in Europe.

You can do this. You have to modify the conceptual prompt to say something like "and give it a dark ending".

Using limewire to download limewire pro felt like a real life cheat code. Thanks for this blast from the last!

kinda surprising the devs of limewire didn't put some block on downloading any file with the phrase 'limewire' in the file name.

Dall-e 2 is completely overpriced and almost obsolete since MidJourney v4.

Hey, I'm getting into using these images more and more. I'm a bit gunshy of all the work that goes into midjourney. Do you know of any good tutorials on how to use it?

in truth midjourney does much better on smaller prompts than stable diffusion or dall-e which tend to do better with longer prompts, but my best results have come from image to image along with prompts. The secret superpower of midjourney is that you can use multiple images as image prompts (the rest can use one), first image becomes core structure and composition, second image becomes primary style, third is secondary style etc, but all influence the image. My best results have been from 2-3 images.

other tips: add on the end --ar 3:2 for wide image or --ar 2:3 for tall

most important part of prompt toward front, usually what kind of medium the art should be (coloring book page, stained glass, watercolor, etc), then describe the content and use photographer terms like portrait, landscape, or long shot to describe framing and what's in the image, things like background and foreground help too.

if you know much art or photography theory, it will give you superpowers over normal users.

take some time to look at other people's prompts on lexica and midjourney showcase, if you want to play with stable diffusion for free first I recommend playgroundai.com which only requires a google account for about 300-800 free spins a day (they throttle you a bit after 300), but I think it's a good way for people to dip their toes in the water, but midjourney does tend to give better default results

It's weird because America is at once the home of the free, but also the home of a hardcore set of puritans who love to get control of the moral compass and enforce it on everyone else. It comes in waves. The last wave was in the 80s. But this wave is larger and more totalizing. Control of the internet and AI output is the ultimate hall monitor tool.

Its purely risk avoidance by a corporation because they are worried about being cancelled or sued by the woke mob.

An analogy:

Oh no! A racism! Ban Linux!
