This would be great for generating Minecraft levels from voice commands.

Depends whether you think models should be able to generate cp. It's almost impossible to even give an affirmative answer to that question without making yourself a target. And as much as I err on the side of creator freedom, I find myself shying away from saying yes without qualifications. And if you don't allow cp, then by definition you require some censoring. At that point it's just a matter of where you censor,…
Of course some level of censorship is needed, otherwise it can be used to produce porn involving real people without their consent (eg celebs)
we already have a lot of fabricated content like that using current photo editing technology (Photoshop) and it's not causing much legal nor moral issues

Google, Wikipedia, Siri, Alexa, the iPhone, etc.
Re: Dall-E 2
#425I'm only part way through the paper, but what struck me as interesting so far is this: In other text-to-image algorithms I'm familiar with (the ones you'll typically see passed around as colab notebooks that people post outputs from on Twitter), the basic idea is to encode the text, and then try to make an image that maximally matches that text encoding. But this maximization often leads to artifacts - if you ask for…
Do you think some of these techniques could be slightly modified, and applied to DNA sequences?
The problem is that with DNA sequences you dont have good training sets.
With text and images you can leverage “ground truth” data (verified by humans) to train your model.
The DNA sequences I would look for methods that don’t require good ground truth data.

> Of course there is a superimposing step, that just means it adds its layer on top of the photo you provide. That's all it means and that's literally what it is doing, that's all I tried to say, heh. It is not doing this. You are wrong. You are mistaken. You are confused. You do not understand what is happening. (People have tried to tell you this several times, but you're not listening. shrug One more can't hurt.)
I am specifically referring to the flamingo example: "DALL·E 2 can make realistic edits to existing images from a natural language caption." You provide the background image and a text prompt and it doodles on top of the image you provided as per their demonstration. I wasn't referring to the other examples down the page where it conjures up a brand new image from scratch based on your image input. It is great that y…
That sounds like "humanity of the gaps", retreating in smaller and smaller human only spaces.

No. If people are exposed to stimuli, they will pursue increasingly stimulating versions of it. I.e., if they see artificial CP, they will often begin to become desensitized (habituated) and pursue real CP or even live children thereafter. Conversely, if people are not exposed to certain stimuli, they will never be able to conceptualize them, and thus will be unable to think about them. Obviously you cannot eliminate…
Wow I didn't even think of this, that people could use this for something so horrifying. I'm relived that the geniuses behind this seem so smart that they even thought of this too and prohibit using the AI for sexual images. > Our content policy does not allow users to generate violent, adult, or political content, among other categories. We won’t generate images if our filters identify text prompts and image uploads…
Please tell me your being sarcastic…
This is arguably the most insipid and stupid crippling of a powerful tool for content creation I can think of. It’s worse than the adobe updates using every cpu core and locking up my machine once a week.
What counts as “political” hm? Want it to look like that Obama poster or perhaps you want a Soviet Union flag for your retro 80s punk… oops sorry “political”… let’s go to adult… hmm that’s even dumber is the model showing too much ankle? What about the obvious fact that this is just designed with a heterodoxy view of pornography and likely does nothing to stem the wildly various fetishes and other sexual proclivities that exist in the world…
It is effectively “we got squeamish and have done a bunch of stuff to stop you doing stuff that makes us squeamish, please don’t make us squeamish, we’re so worried we’re even checking for it in case you sneak something past us”…
They should comply with the law, try to prevent and also check for child porn… but otherwise just let users use the damn tool, if someone wants an Obama hope poster of a sexualised Mussolini jerking off onto a balloon animal… why the heck do they feel the need to say no to that. It’s a deeply repressive instinct that should be fought against whenever people start to “police” what is acceptable in artistic mediums.
I look forward to the reimplemented versions of this from efforts like EuletherAI and others.

#428>We’ve limited the ability for DALL·E 2 to generate ... adult images. I think that using something like this for porn could potentially offer the biggest benefit to society. So much has been said about how this industry exploits young and vulnerable models. Cheap autogenerated images (and in the future videos) would pretty much remove the demand for human models and eliminate the related suffering, no? EDIT: typo
When you combine advanced versions of this with advanced versions of GTP-3 you will not be able to tell the difference between AI and only fans. I'm not saying that AI will pass all Turing tests. But as far as having a virtual girlfriend/prostitute.
Yeah you will. It’s not going to be very good at reproduction of the same exact thing each time. In some of the examples you see the textures changing wildly and it’s a classic problem with these models. The same input does not generate the same output, so it will be obvious that it’s generated when you can’t get the “model” to look the same between two photos in the same “photo shoot”

I don't think it's necessarily certain villainy for those who fight that fight as long as they are fighting it correctly. There's a huge case to be made that flooding the darknet with AI generated CP reduces the revictimization of those in authentic CP images, and would cut down on the motivating factors to produce authentic CP (for which original production is often a requirement to join CP distribution rings). As w…
> exploring if possible to manipulate generated images over time to gradually "age up" attraction
If people already accepted that they need help, there are many good ways to treat people with unwanted sexual obsessions (trying to choose my words carefully here). I honestly don't think that it would help them to serve them more content.
However, I'd love to see some research to explore the possibility of involving machine generated content in psychological treatment. The core of your idea is IMHO brilliant.
Re: Dall-E 2
#430Something about this makes me nauseous. Perhaps is the fact that soon the market value for creatives is going to fall to a hair about zero for all but the most famous. We will be all the poorer for it when 95% of images you see are AI generated. There will be niches of course but in a few short years it'll be over for a huge swathe of creative professionals who are already struggling. Some of the images also hit me w…
The same thing was said when book printing was invented, that we would lose the fabulous scribes that manually duplicate books with a human touch, while replacing them with soulless mechanical machines. Or when synthesizers and computer music was invented, that they will displace talented musicians that know how to play an instrument and how now everybody without a musical education will be able to produce music, thu…
Or when human computers were replaced by electronic computers. In hindsight it was a good thing, many more people are working in computer related fields today.
