What’s the license on the images produced by this model?

I still don't understand what the value of specifying a license for generated images is - at least in terms of enforceability. How could anyone reliably, conclusively determine that an image was generated using a locally-run tool? I suppose in the case of DALL-E they probably save a copy of every generated image and can use some sort of reverse image search and find if/when the image was created. With StableDiffusion…

(still ways around that, though)

The usual modern Google experience: they won't tell you what you did wrong.

Openai isn't a Alphabet/google company

I didn't mean to imply that, only that it's the sort of behaviour they are famous for.

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?

No, the concept it was based on: https://www.britannica.com/technology/grey-goo

> grey goo, a nightmarish scenario of nanotechnology in which out-of-control self-replicating nanobots destroy the biosphere by endlessly producing replicas of themselves and feeding on materials necessary for life.

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.

Yeah, if we're gonna replace every fucking profession with a half-assed good-enough AI version, what're we even here for? We're sure not all gonna survive in a capitalist society where you have to create some kind of "value" to earn enough money to pay for your roof and your food and your power. IIRC there is some vague "it sure got real bad" somewhere in the Trek timelines between "capitalism ended" and "post-scarci…

Recognising that doing the former without the latter demonstrably hurts people isn’t being hypocritical. Hence all the talk of post-scarcity. Post-scarcity for me not for thee is very much a sign of the times though.

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

Maybe have the signed content include a timestamp and location? But... GPS can be spoofed I think.

As far as I'm aware countries fall broadly into two camps. Camp 1, USA for example, is concerned purely with the abuse of children, i.e., anything that depicts or is constructed of pieces of real children is illegal but other things such as drawings, stories, adults role playing, etc is not. Camp 2 outlaws any representation of it whether or not a child was involved. Nowhere will a training set featuring pictures of…

> Nowhere will a training set featuring pictures of naked children be legal. Appropriately from the recent news stories, but it's easy to imagine at least portions of such pictures being available for medical diagnostic purposes. I've sent pictures of my children to my doctor, so presumably in the future it's easy to imagine sending pictures to an AI to diagnose which would require a suitably fleshed out (pardon the…

I imagine the AI which diagnoses your children won't be the same AI your neighbours use to make pictures with.

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…

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…

"The West".

As if we're all one block, a single minded hive. Corrupted, degraded by a heavy capitalistic and egotistical mindset. It's fascinating to see and talk about our shortcomings isn't it? We are so inferior. The fact you wrote "The West" signifies you're one of "The Others". Someone possibly from Russia. Then you compliment Russia and degrade "The West" adding further strength to this hypothesis.

Using "The West", a simple minded sound byte that's been used in propaganda for centuries, a way of appealing to our ape-instincts to protect our tribe against others. "Us" vs "The Others".

You should make a little effort in seeing how ridiculous, infantile, and brainwashed it is to refer to countries that are not Asia or Russia as "The West".

Played with it for a bit in DreamStudio so I could control more of the settings. So far everything it generates is "high quality", but the AI seems to lack the creativity and breadth of understanding that DALL-E 2 has. OpenAI's model is better at taking wildly differing concepts and figuring out creative ways to glue them together, even if the end result isn't perfect. Stable Diffusion is very resistant to that, and…

And then you have Midjourney which would most likely be the best one at doing that specific request. The most crazily creative artistic of the 3.
