Is artificially generated CSAM that doesn't actually involve children in its production not an improvement over the status quo?

No, it's not. The underlying idea you have is that the artificial CSAM is a viable substitute good - i.e. that pedophiles will use that instead of actually offending and hurting children. This isn't borne out by the scientific evidence; instead of dissuading pedophiles from offending it just trains them to offend more. This is opposite of what we thought we learned from the debate about violent video games, where we…

>The reason why video games don't turn people violent is because video game violence maps poorly onto the real thing

I don't believe this is the reason. By practicing martial arts which maps well to real life violence I do not see an increase of violent behaviour. Similarly playing FPS games in VR which maps much closer that flat screen games does not make me want to go shoot people in real life. I don't think people playing paintball or airsoft will turn violent from partaking in those activities. The majority of people are just normal people are not bad people who would ever shoot someone or rape someone.

>You know what is that sexy in real life? Sex.

Why is any porn legal then? If porn turned everyone into sexual abusers I would believe your argument, but that just isn't true. If it were true that a small percentage of people who see porn will turn into sexual abusers I don't think that makes it worth banning porn altogether. I feel there should be a better way that doesn't restrict people's freedom of speech.

I really want to try this. Please add mobile iOS support!

I'm able to use this on my Iphone browser. Can you elaborate if you're facing any difficulties?

I don't see anything below the Hint button. And scrolling seems disabled.

When our c suite decides on an ad campaign and tells our artists to draw normal humans, those people have 3 legs or upside down teeth exactly 0% of the time. Humans have many many limitations, but with every model I’ve tested there’s a set of errors that would virtually never be made by any human.

No one is suggesting anyone take the first image out of a model without any human-based filtering.

Exactly. I have a catchphrase for this "AI generate, human mediate".

This revolution is allowing us to conduct the orchestra instead of playing each instrument.

I wonder why these AI repos' documentation are so bad compared to what we are used to in general. Where is intro/get started/example(commands)/config(docs) etc.

I believe it's a combination of the fact that most of these models are basically 'research dumps' primarily targeting other researchers and given this they are assuming a level of familiarity with related tools/libraries. So it's up to interested people in the community to take it the last mile/block/whatever to make it easy to use, address specific use cases etc. for use by a less academic/technical audience.

Yeah, generally speaking, it's not optimized for open collaboration (not even close .. pun intended).

What? No. Capitalism is a more specific system for organizing goods and services, wherein the means of production and distribution of those goods and services (buildings, land, machines and other tools, vehicles etc) are privately owned and operated by workers (who are paid a wage) for the profit of the owners. That's only been the norm for a few hundred years, and only in certain places. Also, capitalism is separate…

> That's only been the norm for a few hundred years, and only in certain places. Can you point to a system that worked well before that you'd like to go back to?

At the moment I'd rather not get involved in an online argument about which economic systems are better than than which other ones... especially not on a forum run by a startup accelerator, with a constraint that my preferred system has to be more than 300 years old.

I just wanted to point out that capitalism is in fact a specific economic system. It's not a law of nature, or another word for "markets" or "freedom", or a realization that some other system doesn't work.

I'd be curious how well the model still performs given such prompts. Disparate concepts, interpolation, n' all that. Surely it performs worse - but I bet it gets closer than you might think.

Here’s a comparison study on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/z3ferx/xy_... It does look like artist names have a significantly reduced effect.

Oh very cool! Indeed filtering the data results in outputs closer to DALLE-2.

Once I read an article about a guy who got arrested because he’d put child porn on his Dropbox. I had assumed he’d been caught by some more sophisticated means and that was just the public story. I’m amazed that anyone would be stupid enough to distribute CSAM through an account linked to their own name.

I imagine the problem with messenger is teenagers sexting each other.

You will find very few teenagers in messenger, most use snapchat instead.

print magazine, cinema, VHS, Internet

How much did porn actually contribute to innovation in any of those though?

Let me ask you this in reply:

Have you ever seen a non-porn DVD that had multiple camera angles (a feature defined in the standard DVD spec)?

I am a solo dev working on a creative content creation app to leverage the latest developments in AI. Demoing even the v1 of stable diffusion to the non-technical general users blows them away completely. Now that v2 is here, it’s clear we’re not able to keep pace in developing products to take advantage of it. The general public still is blown away by autosuggest in mobile OS keyboards. Very few really know how far…

>Demoing even the v1 of stable diffusion to the non-technical general users blows them away completely. What do the results have to do with "non-technical" people? I am blown away every time I run stable diffusion of the images I get out from it.

I'm not. I find them funny and amusing but that's pretty much it.

I just thought about this, so bare in mind that I don't know much of the technical implications of this, but: Couldn't we train a very good model by distributing the dataset along with the computing power using something similar to folding@home?

The term for this is federated learning. Usually it’s used to preserve privacy since a user’s data can stay on their device. I think it ends up not being efficient for the model sizes used here.
