Have you talked to the average 15 year old kid? Hell, have you talked to the average 50 year old? It will be the same as ever, a sea of absolute shit surrounding some true gems, be they from novel creativity or just excellent execution of well worn ground. The role of the trusted curator will rise and brands will gain more power. I am sure I will watch MY 15 year old's attempts, and maybe a few from my extended circl…

> It will be the same as ever, a sea of absolute shit surrounding some true gems Ah, I can see what's wrong there, just turn down shit randomness and increase the true gem sampling steps to proportionally increase the input weight of true gems and fix your output quality. Basically - if it empowers creative people, their output will be fed back in and parameterised.

Better, you ask your local AI agent to filter according to your personal preferences and general artistic qualities :)

As an owner of a Video Production studio, this kind of tech is blowing my mind and makes me equally excited and scared. I can see how we could incorporate such tools in our workflows, and at the same time I'm worried it'll be used to spam the internet with thousands and thousands of souless generated videos, making it even harder to look through the noise. A fun related experiment, I thought it was fun to see what ki…

EU courts fined google just this week. Way to prove exactly how uninformed you are. There has been no reason to ban meta or google in EU so far, but you can ask RT how good their operations are at the moment.

EU wouldn’t ban homegrown technology. They’re making up laws an an excuse to punish Google for not being EU based, it’s not that Google happens to be violating the law.

>EU wouldn’t ban homegrown technology.

EU would ban any technology that disrupts the labor market to an extent it leads to widespread protests among a segment of society. For how a somehow similar thing has played out in the last 40 years (instead of banning technologies, it has mostly been instituting quotas, paying subsidies and banning/taxing imports), you can look at its agricultural policy.

Reminds me of South Park when Cartman was pretending to be a robot and was made to invent movie prompts "Adam Sandler is like, in love with some girl, but then it turns out that the girl is actually a Golden Retriever. Or something.""

Or the "Two Brothers" skit from Rick and Morty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba9k5SWwE38

Once a capable AI that can make a "Two Brothers" trailer like this one below comes up, humanity has some serious issues to tackle, other than climate change ofc! :D

I love this! But after trying it a few times I got this result :). So fascinating. https://thismoviedoesnotexist.org/movie/the-terminator Brings up the age-old question of how much the learning in these models is just memorization. Though in cases like these it’s hard to tell.

Yep, that's because GPT-3 was trained on real existing data, and it's quite a challenge to make sure the story plot is 100% fake. When it's too close from an existing film, it just sometimes gives it the same film title. I have in-between GPT-3 prompts to avoid that as much as possible, but sometimes real movie titles slips through the cracks. Something I hope to improve shortly.

What a great project, you absolute legend!

AI is eating the world, and the vast majority of people are not paying attention. I don't know what artists, truck drivers, Uber/Lyft/taxi drivers, delivery drivers, programmers, doctors, judges, fast food workers, etc. are going to do.

Perhaps humanity would happily share the benefits of machine work and we can all spend idyllics lifes eating, laughing and loving while exploring the galaxy?

So "Childhood's End" without the aliens?

Large mining robots? Some dump trucks are already autonomous, I'm guessing excavators aren't far.

Do they stop being autonomous when they get a flat tire?

Currently, yeah, but people will certainly work down the priority chain.

Please make your substantive points without name-calling. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

It's not name calling to make a critique of an argument. Luddism is a real term that describes a particular philosophical tendency that places itself in opposition to what it views as a naive technophilia.

It's a putdown, and a cliché one at at. No one calls themselves a Luddite unironically.

Given Hollywood's proclivity to remake everything on a 20-year cycle, it seems completely appropriate to get a 2023 Terminator reboot in a 1920's style.

Here's "The Terminator by F.W. Murnau" from Stable Diffusion:
