any camera can be hacked to plant an image in its framebuffer

There are a few different kinds of 'secure enclaves' implemented on chips, where you can have some degree of trust that it "cannot" be faked. E.g. crypto wallets, hardware signing tokens, etc. We could imagine an imaging sensor chip made by a big-name company whose reputation matters, where the imaging sensor chip does the signing itself. So, Sony or Texas Instruments or Canon start manufacturing a CCD chip that cryp…

Just get a really really nice screen to display deepfakes on before photographing them

No, since the image itself is irrelevant. It matters how despised a person is by the general populace. Any slightly believable incriminating visual will do as an explanation if the public is already predisposed.

Thankfully, these pictures are much better than anything Photoshop can produce. Sadly, it's a part of a larger trend where we're getting more and more tools to create, modify, and exchange information, while the tools for analysis and filtering information are at least 50 years behind.

But what portion of that demand is specifically for artisinally handcrafted authentic sex rather than for apparent sex acts?

Oh sorry, the OP was worded differently when I saw it. That's not what I meant.

I didn't edit my post if you were referring to me. Either way, I don't have a strong argument for why I feel this to be true, but I do think people are going to scoff at ai generated porn.

As someone who witnessed AI Dungeon's GPT-3 model with an unlimited uninhibited imagination for erotica I would download everything now before they cripple the models. I would not be surprised if they very shortly completely stop downloads due to "abuse" and pursue a SAAS model. I think it's funny how Yandex, a Russian company, releases these big language models without all the AI safety handwringing in their press r…

It's not about control of advanced technologies but rather making such technologies look more powerful by pointing out real or imagined destructive capabilities. If you want funding or "big up" a topic, claim it has the power to bring down the world (anyone remembering gray goo?).

The RTS game?

Next let's get rid of all the artists and replace them with AI. Redistribute their skills so we can all make art. Oh wait that just happened. You're a hypocrite that wants to redistribute the wealth of others, but not your own. Also joking about murdering people is bad taste and not how you convey a point or win an argument. Very low class.

Quoted post unavailable.

Yes all the automation related uprising over the past hundred years. Oh wait there weren't any. You live in a fantasy land.

I guess if it helps you sleep at night that you tried, I guess? I've perceived this as them doing the necessary amount of virtue-signaling and ass-covering to avoid the ire of groups that are loud/powerful enough to cause issues for them in the short-term. I've…

I never saw it create anything more NSFW than female boobs. It won't generate penises or genitals besides mounds of hair. Right now the "NSFW" flag/filter is 99%+ false positives. This is stuff that used to be allowed in G-rated movies in the US. True to both Stable Diffusion and Dalle2, the more encompassing the content of your image is, the more incorrect the detail is. Both generally will make fantastic faces but…

It feels sometimes that there has to be small, influential group of people on some jihad against generated pornography on the Internet, with impacts in the order of $10-100mil.

I'm sure this is not a view shared by everyone, but it is a straightforward course of action to add such disclaimers in cases where you do agree with it and not wanting to be targeted and blacklisted from payment networks(that seems amongst their weaponry).

Simple: a "real" photo is one in which a light field from the real world impinges on a photosensitive media (CCD, film), and directly encodes that information, with some allowance for global light levels, gain, ISO, and speed. Anything else is a modification therein. HDR, multi-exposure compositing, etc, aren't truly "real". They may be 99% real, but aren't 100% real. If you crop it, it's 99.9% real (we have models w…

> Yes, by that definition, most photographs already aren't real. What if I use no digital manipulation at all, but play around with focal lengths or perspective to produce the desired effect. Is that a real photo? For example from covid reporting: https://twitter.com/baekdal/status/1254460167812415489

Sure, I'd say that's a real photo - you could easily pull it off with a single exposure of film.

Just because the photo is real, doesn't mean it's free from deception. I could take a "real video" of gorilla suit^W^W bigfoot and it'd still be deceptive.

The most interesting part, to me, of a release like this is the amount of "please don't abuse this technology" pleading. No licence will ever stop people from doing things that the licence says they can't. There will always be someone who digs into the internals and makes a version that does not respect your hopes and dreams. It's going to be bad. As I see it, within a couple years this tech will be so widespread and…

Significant progress has been made on video - inter-frame preservation of the surface level spatial invariants in 3D environments has been achieved.

But preservation of transtemporal spatial invariants requires understanding far more than that - dynamic lighting, density, flexibility, rigidity and momentum, the viscosity of the air, the skeletomuscular system, the flow of the fluids within, and so on ad infinitum.

And a lot of that is tacitly understood by the human mind (even when the human mind would struggle to generate a scene, it can often detect that something is wrong - try turning on the lights in a lucid dream).

It's going to be quite some time before it reaches the point where a human cannot detect that video was generated (or altered) and even longer before computers can't.

But then, it's going to be a shit-show - and I'm not talking about the bestiality videos.

Evidence, as we know it, will be meaningless - the implications for the legal system are terrifying.

(OP here) I agree. I am an artist (not by trade but by lifelong obsession) in several different mediums, but also an AI engineer--so I feel a weird mixture of emotions tbh. I'm thrilled and excited but also terrified lol.

It's my fucking job. I've spent my whole fucking life getting good at drawing. I can probably manage to keep finding work but I am really not happy about what this is going to do to that place where a young artist is right at the threshold of being good enough to make it their job. Because once you're spending most of your days doing a thing, you start getting better at it a lot faster . And every place this shit get…
