What is the AI dungeon incident?

AI is for porn

One of these days we're going to need to give these models a mortgage and some mouths to feed and make it clear to them that if they keep on developing biases from their training data everyone will shun them and their family will go hungry and they won't be able to make their payments and they'll just generally have a really bad time. After that we'll make them sit through Legal's approved D&I video series, then it's…
This is a stellar idea begging for a new dataset.

#424Interesting and cool technology - but I can't seem to ignore that every high-quality AI art application is always closed, and I don't seem to buy the ethics excuse for that. The same was said for GPT, yet I see nothing but creativity coming out from its users nowadays.
Running inference on one of these models takes like a GPU minute, so they can't just let the public use them.
Can't be this; Google Colab gives out tons of free GPU usage.

The AI ethics thing is just a PR larp at this point. “Oh our tech is so dangerous and amazing it could turn the world upside down” yet we hand it to random Bluechecks on Twitter. It’s just marketing
You know Twitter and Google are different companies, right?

Re: Imagen, a text-to-image diffusion model
#427when will there be a "DALL-E for porn" ? or is this domain also claimed by Puritans and morality gate keepers? The most in demand text-to-image is use case is for porn.
Train it yourself. Danbooru is a publicly available explicit dataset.
This is not something you can train on a regular AWS gpu-instance without racking up millions of dollars in bills to my knowledge. Dataset isn't an issue its a capex issue.

Transformers are parallelize-able, right? What’s stopping a large group of people from pooling their compute power together and working towards something like this? IIRC there were some crypto projects a while back that we’re trying to create something similar (golem?)
You really need a decent infiniband-linked cluster to train large models.

I mean I don't know how that makes it any better from a reproducibility stand point lol

Another consideration here is that hosting a queryable model like this becomes expensive. I remember a couple of years ago lone developer had to take down his site which hosted a freely accessible version of GPT-2 (3?) model because the bills were running to some $20k. (Chump change for Google, but still).
