why is everyone so mad about midjourney and stable diffusion anyway.

Nice thing about Stable Diffusion is it's there forever since they released the github project. Can't take it back if they wanted to. People can train their own models and release them on bittorrent or whatever.

The only thing I have heard from my fellow coders is how great ChatGPT is at writing tedious scripts quickly. You won't be able to code and maintain some hugely scalable website like Twitter with it, but anything that saves time and avoids tedium is welcomed by developers.

I don't think any of them are worried about computers taking their jobs, since the hardest part of our jobs is problem solving, scalability, dealing with non-technical people wanting to make impossible features, etc.

AI art is similar, but clearly there are some very real use cases where you can make money with no art skill. I feel like that would be much less likely with coding.

Writers were more prepared for this event to happen. Between two short stories made by Borges, library of babel the shows a world where every single thing is written, and Pierre Menard shows where, it's not so much the story, but also the context around a story that give it a lot of meaning.

And music, whooo, imagine telling somebody they have to make an original 4 note bar using only the thirteen notes of a single pitch, and despite how big that number is, it's kind of isn't (13*13*13*13 = ) 28'561 combinations. Most people don't put that music value into a single note sound. D isn't the happy note; G isn't the sad note. So the same note 4 times in a row CCCC, or F#F#F#F#, doesn't have that much meaningful difference.

And just remember this article by Peter David from 2011 exists


Quote:
Just a few years down the line, as computer technology becomes more and more sophisticated, the requirement for drawing ability will fall away. Storytelling–writing–will still be a requirement, because people will always want and need stories. But drawing? Faw. Clip files can be fed into scanners, artwork manipulated and tweaked so that it’s no longer simple theft but, instead, a new creation.

For that matter, Motion Capture may well be modified into cheap, “Stop” Motion Capture. All you’d need is the pattern for Spider-Man’s costume, plus someone to body model it for you, and you’ve got your wall-crawler.

The need for artists who can “only” draw will lessen and diminish.

So capitalist are using their accumulated capital to deskill production and proletarianize skilled labor and the solution is to further enclose the commons? Makes perfect sense to me, surely the capitalist won't use their wealth to purchase the newly enclosed commons and rent them back to the same skilled labor that original produced them. This time we'll surely be successful in dismantling the master's house with his own tools, yep!

Artstation update:

They've added the exact 'please don't scrape my art' tag that they said they were gonna add in their post yesterday
https://magazine.artstation.com/2022/12/noli-tag/




of course from a legal perspective this tag does literally nothing.
either AI training is fair use and they can ignore the tag or AI training is copyright violation and it's a violation even without the tag
and it's impossible to block right-click save-as either way

the community response is more protests that it's not turned on by default:

Why did OpenAI cripple ChatGPT so hard over the past week culminating in the last update?

How did they do it? I don’t know how these models work, so I’d love to know how they got it to go into those Nice HR tone spiels when refusing requests, and refusing what seems like all requests.

I just love every AI advancement in every domain that people used to think could "never" compete with human warms my heart. It forces us to realize there's nothing truly special about being the meat machines we call humans, no "soul" that cannot ultimately be replicated or even improved upon in silicon and wires.

That was the entire purpose of the free beta. They wanted people poking at it from a million different angles and getting it to say 'bad' stuff so they could hack up some ad-hoc solutions to all those openings and block them up somehow.
After this period they are going to charge for it as a business product, once they're confident that they've covered most of the edge cases and it won't tell people how to hotwire cars or cook meth.

A lot of it is probably done by just watching the input and injecting additional text as context, or monitoring the output and throwing out + re-running especially bad generations, but I don't know exactly.

it's not an ad-hoc solution - chat-gpt explicitly has as part of its architecture a reward model and a reinforcement learning scheme which trains the model to rank possible generated responses.
for the beta model, they used on the order of 30K prompts and responses and had humans rank them to provide annotations

they're going to train another model or fine-tune the current one off presumably a subset of the prompts and responses generated by the public beta

ok drat, that's more interesting then
their solutions for previous stuff like dall-e were way more hacky and ad-hoc
like when people complained that the dataset was obviously biased and the ai only made images of straight white males unless specifically instructed to make something else, they started secretly injecting stuff like ", a black woman" at the end of text prompts

Will you stop going crazy in there?
One interesting thing about ChatGPT is that its answers on certain topics make it incredibly clear that most of its data comes from content that's effectively ad copy. You can ask it questions like "Should I clean my home's ductwork?" and instead of something like "no, that's a scam, and the EPA says don't do it," it'll just regurgitate bullet points from SEO blog articles telling you to do it every few years. Same thing when asking questions about some really common solar panel scams.

You can prod it into giving you better information, but you really have to already know the endpoint you're looking for to get there.

Belatedly, it doesn't seem surprising that it's easy to antagonize people watching a career field that, for many of them, has involved decades of work, get pinched by capitalism and techbros doing capitalism and techbro things.
.....
That doesn't mean they're good, or that I'm supposed to just roll over and go 'well yep guess it was my turn' when the hellworld grinder comes for another aspect of my life. It just feels like any response any artist gives that isn't 'lmao you're right I should go gently caress myself' somehow gets twisted into this weird persecution narrative, as if they shouldn't be upset they're being devalued; hellworld doing hellworld stuff hurts people. That's the problem. I don't think the human grinder warrants cheerleading, regardless of how dramatic the response may be perceived to be.
They don't understand that the idea of getting paid for non-materially productive behavior (industrial agri etc) is a lie to get them to jump into the grinder.

They are already in it and getting exploited and discovering this is emotionally painful.

They see something have its market value decreased and automatically assume its real value has as well.

They see the market value of their products decrease and automatically assume their value as a human has as well.

This market value as human value is ingrained as part of their capitalist culture and divorcing them from it is painful.
