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…

Learn to code.

I know how to code and that’s not gonna stop the robots from inevitably taking my job.

Not that I care all that much.

That's peculiar. I run a couple of big Discord servers and never heard anyone saying they have problems logging in.

That's because they couldn't log in to complain. Recreating the broken contact form effect.

They are servers for forums so that would be the natural place to complain.

First about 18 months ago they said I had an IP phone and could no longer log in (my carrier is Republic Wireless). When I contacted support and told them that I had been able to login with that number in the past they basically said "we're tightening up security, too bad so sad. get another phone number" Then recently I found that I was able to log in when I wanted to try midjourney (Republic changed something back…

Yeah, the phone # requirement renders Discord a non-starter. There is no benign reason why this type of service requires a telephone number.

Bots and spam.

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…

Like you mentioned near the end, all this has been possible with photoshop, with amateur level skill. Hollywood can CGI the entire Captain Marvel movie, so as far as state-level efforts go, AI can really only be an incremental improvement at best. I think this is all just trendy popular sentiment moralizing AI.

Scale and access (≈quantity) matter.

>make a hyperrealistic pornographic image of you with a gorilla[0] I don't understand this irrational fear. This can be done today, just need some minutes instead of some seconds to create a good Photoshop. Also, seriously this is the thing you fear? fake porn? there are much worse thing you can do with this tech, like phising, falsifications, etc. Not mentioning leaving millions of graphic designers out of job.

Unfortunately Anything that can go wrong will go wrong Photoshop is a skill, not very widespread as we assume. Typing something is literally at everyone's fingertips.

Photoshop is a skill possessed by more than enough people for the world to have already been transformed by Photoshops of famous people and anybody else graphic designers wanted to embarrass, if moderately-convincing images were that transformational a technology for adversarial use.

I agree that it's much easier to do low effort stuff to wind friends up, but universal access and low effort don't make it more likely to be impactful and believable.

This is completely wrong, the digital art industry is enormous and, mind you, pretty uniformly pissed off that this model has been trained off of their non public-domain work.

They're mostly posting incorrect claims like "all it does it make collages out of other people's art" though. It doesn't do that; the model stores about 1 byte per original image it's seen.

Think of that 1 byte as a hyper-compressed essence of knowledge necessary to make said collage. Then it will be correct. Those models would not exist without the labor of the artist community - which in this case was used without consent and without pay.

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

There weren't "uprisings" mostly because the destroyed jobs were replaced with others that paid better and were less "dangerous". There were some local minima (Detroit auto workers) where this happen only partially and we know the pathology this led to.

Is this replacement of jobs happening this time around? No. So violence there will be.

According to this post, it needs 6.9 Gb. So the 3070, 3070-Ti, 3080, etc. can all run it. Sadly, my RTX 2060 is below that limit...

Apparently the model decompresses, and it won't fit very well on the 8gb models... I'm willing to give the max settings a spin on my 3070ti, but I'm not very hopeful.

It works great on my 1080 (8gb). They did an awesome job making this work on mainstream hardware.
