NFT world is mostly filled with modern art forms which are never seen. If Dall-E can make such images out of the box in seconds, then it looks like AIs can take over NFT world like storm. May be already its happening, and i just didn't know!

Is their model god and I'm the heretic? Or am I in denial about how impressive this all really is by reading something slightly different into the static hand selected examples openai teased us with? :) I'm sure two more papers down the line this thing will do what the true believers are convinced it already does perfectly much more seamlessly if they solve for my new favorite term, panoptic segmentation.
The link was for analogy, like religious people who can't accept science still try to find "gaps" where science can't explain something so they can imply God is doing it.
Personally I would happily change my opinion as soon as openai shares an interactive demo.
Maybe it really will magically output everything to my satisfaction, what a time to be alive! :)

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…
Thought-provoking post, thanks. Especially the part about maybe generating specifically tailored material to "train" folks. Although, while obviously moral instead of immoral like "gay conversion therapy", I wonder if it would be just as ineffective. 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). Hmmmmm. Will m…
> Finding and prosecuting the people who make real CP is difficult enough already.
let's assume that AI generated CP should be illegal. Does it mean that possession of model that is able to generate such content should also be illegal? If not, then it's easy to just generate content on the fly and do not store anything illegal. But when we make model illegal, then how do you enforce that? Models are versatile enough to generate a lot of different content, how do you decide if ability to generate illegal content is just a byproduct or purpose of that model?

#444I would probably pay good money to have a OLED painting in my house that I can just tell what kind of painting to generate each day.
Imagine waking up and telling your (preferably locally hosted) voice assistant that today really feels like a Rembrandt day and the AI just generates new paintings for you.

Certainly food for thought. Say I'm looking for photography of real events and places, like a royal weeding or a volcano erupting does this help me? Of specific places and architectural features?

Shutterstock is a direct competitor of iStock and is a $3B company. I personally pay them $200/mo. Maybe you just don't know enough about this industry?

I instinctively want to "flip the sign" on all of the automated controls they put in, just out of the morbid interest to see what comes out. The moment you have a "avoid_harm_to_humans:bool" training parameter, someone's going to set it to -1. Their document about all the measures they took to prevent unethical use is also a document about how to use a re-implementation of their system unethically. They literally hir…
The kind of measures they are taking, like simply deleting wholesale anything problematic, don't really have a '-1'. But amusingly, exactly that did happen in one of their GPT experiments! https://openai.com/blog/fine-tuning-gpt-2/
LOL great catch! Assume you're referring to this:
"One of our code refactors introduced a bug which flipped the sign of the reward. Flipping the reward would usually produce incoherent text, but the same bug also flipped the sign of the KL penalty. The result was a model which optimized for negative sentiment while preserving natural language. Since our instructions told humans to give very low ratings to continuations with sexually explicit text, the model quickly learned to output only content of this form."
Yeah, for measures that are subsetting out only the nice data, "flipping the sign" would be picking the other subset. So something like "data_to_train_on = (good_data_split, evil_data_split)[accidental_one_based_index_because_humans_still_cant_agree_on_how_to_count]"
Re: Dall-E 2
#447I'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…
What always bother me with this stuff is, well, you say one approach is more sensible than the other because the images happen to come out more pleasing. But there's no real rhyme or reason, it is a sort of alchemy. Is text encoding strictly worse or is it an artifact of the implementation? And if it is strictly worse, which is probably the case, why specifically? What is actually going on here? I can't argue that th…

DALL-E 2 spits as many outputs as you want. Then you choose the one you prefer.

The problem might be that people are simply lying. Their real reasons are religious/ideological, but they cite humanitarian concerns (which their own religious stigma is partly responsible for).
> Their real reasons are religious/ideological, but they cite humanitarian concerns Are you asserting that nobody has humanitarian concerns? If so, that's quite a statement; what basis is there? I've seen so many humanitarian acts, big and small, that I can't begin to count. I've seen them today. I hear people express humanitarian beliefs and feelings all the time. I do them and have them myself. Maybe I misunderstan…

I have degrees and several years of experience in both fields, and I can tell you that both are creative professions where output is unbounded and the measure of success is subjective; these are the fields that will be safe for a while. IMO it's fields such as aircraft pilots who should be most worried.
The jobs of commercial pilots are very safe. Pilots are not there to fly the aircraft, the autopilot already does that. They are there to command the aircraft, in a pair in case one is incapacitated, making the best decisions for the people on board, and to troubleshoot issues when the worst happens. No AI or remote pilot is going to help when say... the aircraft loses all power. Or the airport has been taken over in…
I would agree that a bit more is required of Pilots, but similar to truck drivers, the skill required and hence the salary provided, will go down as the AI gets better and better.
I can easily imagine that at some point, pilots are replaced with technicians who are just there to fix redundant AI systems in case of failure.

Seems about right. Their yearly revenue is $700 million, I don't know about iStock as it isn't public. Any other big ones?
My hypothesis is that it could be a partial replacement/competitor and devalue their offering - reasonable to assume you'd be paying $99/mo soon and it will gradually decrease as the tech spreads and more competitors emerge.
Adobe is also in this game (https://stock.adobe.com), they are not unfamiliar with AI. You can see how a lot of people will jump on this if it proves to be lucrative.
I don't claim to be an expert and I didn't say this is worthless.
