That's a lot of SpongeBob and My Little Pony characters. At this point, is it fair to say the attachment to kids' cartoons is a cultural (or pathological) phenomenon for under 30s?

Does anybody else find the irony in this statement absolutely amazing lol.
Re: 15.ai
#63This is really cool. It's a text-to-speech and the gist seems to be that they synthesize it from only a little audio. The results are clearly synthetic and need work. However what's cool is that there are a ton of characters (from popular shows and video games) and there are useful statistics like inferred emotion (which is also in the output). Honestly it's a big problem how a lot of AIs are like "black boxes" where…
In the case of text generation, we call this "Constrained Text Generation" and it is an active field of research. Without going into too many details (I have a paper out for review about this), it's pretty trivial to get "interactive control over how much or how little the AI generates" by a combination of filters on the LMs vocabulary, and effective selection of the various hyperparamaters in the decoder (top_p, top_k, temperature)...

I got RickRolled as soon as arriving to the page. :-)
Re: 15.ai
#65This is unrelated but what's with the fascination with HN users and My Little Pony? I've noticed this on a lot of posts in the past few months.
My ML professor at the university I went to was also weirdly obsessed with MLP.
Weeaboo/furry data scientists are always ahead of the industry - I seem to recall an effective decensoring model that was called "DeepCreamPy" and had almost 10K github stars before it was nuked and rehosted.
I'm convinced that learning Statistics is in a zero-sum game with social skills.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_Pony:_Friendship_Is_... explains in detail - between 2010 and ~2015 there was a massive overlap between millennial geek culture and unironic fandom of the rebooted My Little Pony show, especially among millennial men. One dedicated fan hub averaged almost 400k page views per day over its first 3.5 years of existence. And throughout it all, programming projects abounded, such as…
One of my favorite examples from that era: https://pjreddie.com/static/Redmon%20Resume.pdf And in case you were wondering what this little pony did next... https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=TDk_NfkAAAAJ&hl=en
Wait, the guy who wrote darknet IS THE SAME GUY WHO DID THIS RESUME?
AHHHHHHHHH

#67I appreciate the intent, and I understand that many people will do the wrong thing so this was probably an attempt to get such folks to actually read and adhere to the TOS, but the obnoxious consent dialog with a mandatory countdown turned me off. It’s probably not effective, either.
On desktop, maybe I’d open dev tools and remove it. On mobile, I won’t be bothered. I hate that this is what the web has become and I choose to simply miss out on websites that behave this way.

Weird, I read through the text because I care about how I’m allowed to use the things people are giving me – and by the time I got to the Accept button, it was enabled.

Dall-E 2 has customization. You can remove or add things etc. And for GPT you can also specify more details. Only a question of time until you can work with the ai on your art/thing. There are ai models which keep track of context and others which generate a plan of actions. AI is not a blackbox
OpenAI itself is a black box. Until I can reproduce their models or download them myself, and have unfettered access to them, it's just gatekept magic behind an API. So much for democratizing machine learning.

Unless this is a recent change, their mission isn't that:

I just want you to know that it was absolutely hilarious to hear (the first half of) this read in the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants.
