They don't say nearly everything they think; nobody does.
Question is...Would your trust for them increase or decrease if they started speaking less openly?

> just because people interact more angrily online doesn't mean they're willing to fight each other in real life There is a lot of evidence that says online experiences influence offline behavior (both are "real life"). Look at the very many, online-inspired, extremist attacks. Look at the impact of misinformation and disinformation - as a simple example, it killed possibly hundreds of thousands of Americans do to po…
The keyword here is "possibly", you have absolutely no facts to back your claim.

> The only way to a post-scarcity economy There is no way to a post-scarcity economy, the phrase is a contradiction, and scarcity is an inescapable consequence of human desire.
There's no scarcity of information and media.
But that’s unavoidable really because it’s based on perception - There will always be a top 10% of something and a bottom 90%.

For real! This stuff is moving fast . It feels like just last week I was posting about how it's going to change...art. And now there are hilarious deepfake memes of past and current presidents shit talking about video games. There are a handful of ML art subs that have pretty amazing stuff daily. Especially the NSFW ones, which if you've studied any history of media VHS/DVD/Blu-ray/the internet, porn is a major innov…
> porn is a major innovation driver because humans are thirsty creatures. Hehe, yeah. I'm personally waiting for a model that is good at nonhuman stuff. Not just furries... but the focus seems to be on human content for now.
Atm someone has to model, rig, texture, animate etc. Hopefully shortly we can just connect a bunch of systems together to generate video right from a prompt.
Useful for non-porn stuff as well, but the OP is right; lots of innovation occurs when humans are horny (porn) or angry (war).

You are like 2 months out of date. Stable diffusion now has a massive ecosystem around it (civitai/automatic1111), that when used well, completely crushes any competitors in terms of the images it produces. Midjourney is still competitive, but mostly because its easier to use. Dalle2 will get you laughed out of the room in any ai art discussion.
Stable diffusion might have a reasonable eco system around it, but automatic1111 was always around and 'completely crushes any competitors' is rather rich, Midjourney is still considered the standard as far as I was aware. I used both again recently and the difference was very clear, midjourney is leaps and bounds above anything else. Sure, stable diffusion has more control over the output, but the images are usually…
Controlnet is the big new thing, it is on a different level from earlier img2img.

you get 200 images for free. afterwards its $10, $30, $60 per month
Yeah, but what does one do with an infinite supply of ok-ish images?
here are two examples on my insta account:

Twitter. Folllow your top 10 or so ML/AI news summarizers. There is enough new information every day to keep you busy reading new papers, APIs, technologies. Honestly the "This happened in the last week" is more information than anybody can fully wrap their heads around, so you just have to surf the headlines and dig into the few things that interest you.
Can you recommend some accounts to follow?
Some bootstrapping accounts might be @rosstaylor90, @rasbt, @karpathy, @ID_AA_Carmack, @DrJimFan, @YiTayML, @JeffDean, @dustinvtran, @tunguz, @fchollet, @ylecun, @miramurati, @nonmayorpete, @pmarca, @sama.
These are definitely not an authoritative list - just some of the AI names I follow - but, honestly - if any relevant news breaks - your timeline picks it up within minutes - so you just need a good random sample. Your interests will diverge and you'll pick up your own follows pretty quickly.
