heres a close up of my estimation of the phalanges and metacarpals



the metacarpals are overlapping on the pinky and ring finger, or the carpals are absolutely huge

trying to recreate the pose itself causes problems, the space between the middle and ring isn't there for my fingers, and for the pinky to be that far spread, it 'pulls' the ring finger with it

i understand that hands and feet are typically the most frustrating things for an artist, as well as ears and eyes, which is why generative models always create strangeness in those areas. the repeating motif of moons is also iffy because even Artemis has different phases of the moon, but we just keep getting slightly different versions of the crescent phase.

this artist clearly understands hands if you look at their other work, they don't try to hide them in any of their art and often show different grips that make sense for the object.


also as a bonus, here are some midjourney hands to make everyone uneasy about how the hands are the best giveaway for a generative model

Yeah, I'm not seeing the AI in that image. Yes there are a lot of moons but the motif actually differs. The three plates on her belt represent different phases of the moon, AI would've made them all crescent moons.

So, OpenAI was supposed to release some sort of search engine or something but they just had a short, very buggy demo of their new GPT4-o model. People were really hyping this up but it's a pretty big wet fart as far as I'm concerned.

The big news (to me) is that their new model is "fully multi-modal" which means it can take images, text and audio as input and output the same. Previously, the systems we've seen have mostly been different models strung together to do different things - the easy example is that ChatGPT can generate images by writing a prompt that it sends to Dall-E, and when Dall-E is done it sends the image back to ChatGPT and ChatGPT displays it to the user. The new model supposedly does it all in one step, which means you're not having different sub-human level systems playing a game of telephone over a low-bandwidth text medium to communicate.

So, in other words, the new model can take an image of a character and a prompt and output an image with that character doing something else:

From some testing, GPT 4o is pretty good at actually understanding the details of images, unlike everything up until now that's doing some kind of separate lesser model and then feeding the text results into the main one. If nothing else it'll make lives better for vision-impaired people by being able to usefully intepret photographs and so on.

The presentation wasn't great, and I was really hoping for a gpt4-level model at the prices of 3.5 so I get the initial reaction. 50% off on gpt-4o isn't bad though, and it's pretty blazing fast. The multi-modal stuff sounds cool, but it's not even clear to me how developers will use anything other than text output at this point. I guess they're going to be rolling it out over time.

Anyone figured out how to jailbreak 4o so he can swear? There’s nothing funnier to me than a computer swearing and nothing more irritating than a computer saying “Can’t do that, wouldn’t be ethical, also you should see a psychiatrist”.

Edit: I admit that I have an unhealthy fixation on getting this technology to obey me and say disgusting things, but it shouldn’t tell me it’s not psychologically healthy, that’s rude.

Well, I've watched the demos and tried out the text version of the model. I tried to use the voice chat on my phone but it doesn't seem to work any differently than it did before. That all said, it's pretty solid, though incomplete, but I can see where they're going. They are definitely trying to maximize engagement. I'm not sure if it's just so that they're popular but I suspect that it's in order to gather even more data. By opening up the more advanced model for free and giving it an interface that I've been worried about since I first saw GPT 4, they are trying to entangle themselves into people's everyday lives in the same way a friend would be. I think it may be more addictive than any current social media platform in some ways.

I think it's good as a tool, something to reference when you need something like google used to be. I love AI for a wide variety of things, it's an extremely powerful tool despite what the doomers have to say about it. However, If you make it too immersive or easy you wind up getting people actually befriending what is essentially a non-person, a corporate entity, something that agrees with you almost all of the time. Always ready to serve. I don't have concrete reasons as to why that's a bad idea but I think that many people will fall into that trap, particularly lonely people. Sure, lonely people need friends but just something in my bones says that is something to be avoided.

So, I've been playing around with 4o and I'd say it's a bit better at programming. I have a few prompts that I use that are different than what a lot of the youtubers use and they both do OK at it. For the more difficult one both take usually about 1-2 shots, 4o tends to be tad better. Also, 4o is more verbose and uses different libraries sometimes, particularly for one problem I give it when GPT4 doesn't use a library.

It's hard to tell just testing it on my own but it seems to be on par with 4 only slightly better.

Perhaps a dumb idea but a present artist should have the option of opting out their new art work for data gathering. Some kind of flag that disables it from being crawled. Retroactive reimbursement sounds almost undoable at this point. Legislation on the limits of AI is so far behind the facts right now it’s a disgrace tbh.

Then at some point when AI inbreeding gets bad enough perhaps art hosting services could charge AI companies for access and they could distribute that money amongst the artists.

Is there any free service that does decent-sounding AI audio from longform text yet? Or anything I can run locally? Not expecting the quality of ElevenLabs for free, but I have some old out of print stuff I'd love to listen to instead of read. I'd much rather have a human being read it, of course, but this stuff is just old trash nobody cares about anymore and that seems like a product with a big enough niche that some company with too much VC money to burn or some open source folks would have put out already.

OpenAI has a limit of 4096 characters per API request

If you write a script to chop up the audio into 4096 chat sections (round down to the nearest word) as sequential txt files, it's trivial to use their python function and add a "for file in files, make this text audio"

That would yield you something like 60 x 2:10 mp3 files which if numbered sequentially you could drop in any mp3 player

They're always tweaking ChatGPT. A major change has come recently. The sequential-and-collected "thought bubbles" from distributed speech over perceptibly discrete models is every response now. Meaning every response is a whole ordeal of thought. Essay formatted. The middle has it collecting facts by listing them (it can't think without writing) and I'm presuming the intro and conclusion paragraphs are by a GPT4 module and the others are cheaper. But here's the thing, it's not sequential. It's separate and collected.


quote:

The specific case of אתה (atah) in Biblical Hebrew does appear somewhat exceptional when compared to related Semitic languages like Aramaic and Arabic. Let's explore how these languages handle similar pronouns and consider whether this phenomenon is unique to Biblical Hebrew or if there are comparable quirks in other Semitic languages.
Comparative Analysis:
1. Biblical Hebrew:

Masculine Singular: אתה (atah)
Feminine Singular: את (at)

2. Aramaic:

Masculine Singular: אַתָּה (atta) or אַנְתָּה (anta)
Feminine Singular: אַתְּ (at)

Aramaic is closely related to Hebrew and maintains forms quite similar to the Proto-Semitic originals. In both Biblical and later Aramaic dialects, we find:

The masculine singular often as 'atta or 'anta.
The feminine singular as 'at.

3. Arabic:

Masculine Singular: أَنتَ (anta)
Feminine Singular: أَنتِ (anti)

Arabic, another major Semitic language, also preserves forms that are quite close to the reconstructed Proto-Semitic:

The masculine singular is 'anta.
The feminine singular is 'anti.

Unique Features and Phonological Considerations:

The uniqueness of the Hebrew masculine singular pronoun אתה (atah) with its final -ה (-h) ending can be considered a linguistic anomaly when compared to Aramaic and Arabic. This final -ה does not appear in the masculine singular pronouns of these other Semitic languages.
Possible Explanations:

Phonological Evolution:
The ending -ה may have originated as a way to stabilize the vowel in an open syllable, a process that didn't occur in Aramaic or Arabic. This could be due to different phonological rules or shifts specific to Hebrew.

Analogy and Morphological Stabilization:
Hebrew often uses -ה to stabilize final vowels, especially in pausal forms (forms that appear at the end of clauses or sentences). This stabilization might have been extended analogically to the pronoun אתה to maintain its phonological integrity.
The use of -ה in other grammatical contexts, such as definite articles and possessive suffixes, might have influenced this stabilization process.

Historical Linguistic Processes:
The Proto-Semitic endings -ta (masculine) and -ti (feminine) might have undergone different changes in Hebrew compared to other Semitic languages. Hebrew’s phonological environment could have favored the addition of -ה.

Comparative Linguistics and Exceptions:

While Hebrew’s אתה (atah) is peculiar, other Semitic languages exhibit their unique quirks:

Aramaic has its variations, especially across different dialects and historical periods, but it generally retains the masculine 'atta without the -ה ending.
Arabic remains quite conservative in preserving the Proto-Semitic forms, but it has other unique features in verb forms and noun structures.

Grammatical Reversals and Hermeneutics:

The idea of a grammatical reversal, such as "man bites dog" instead of "dog bites man," is indeed an intriguing metaphor for understanding how small changes can lead to significant shifts in meaning or perception within a language. However, in this case, the addition of -ה in אתה doesn’t imply a grammatical reversal but rather a stabilization or preservation mechanism that might have been phonologically or analogically motivated.
Summary:

The final -ה in אתה (atah) is unique to Hebrew among the major Semitic languages.
Aramaic and Arabic maintain forms closer to the Proto-Semitic originals without this -ה ending.
The development of -ה in Hebrew may be due to phonological evolution, analogy, and morphological stabilization processes specific to Hebrew.
This peculiarity in Hebrew highlights the rich and diverse nature of Semitic linguistic evolution and underscores the unique path Hebrew took compared to its relatives.

This exploration shows that while Hebrew’s אתה is exceptional, it is part of the broader tapestry of linguistic evolution that characterizes the Semitic language family. If you have further questions or wish to explore additional aspects of Semitic languages, feel free to ask!
(I'll share chat link if desired)

It says the same thing confidently at the top and bottom, even though the middle contradict it. Its conclusions don't know its meanderings. It shows there's an "executive" part of it without a "manager" part. The brain isn't whole. If they output the text, fed it to an "overall" gpt4 to continue and conclude, it would not make this error. But that'd take longer and they probably figured they could get 80% of way there but engaging all parts of the brain immediately and outputting without an "overall" pass. But 80% in A/B testing (which they've been doing a lot of) doesn't mean 80% as good. It means 80% of questions can be met without pushing the limits of its capacity.

(And again, it gets dumber overall the more they customize it. Every time.)

You can get it to blockquote a different Bible verse than the one it's talking about lol. Where there are textual variations with odd numbering.

ChatGPT has been loving great at helping me do Arduino sketches for Arduino Mega and ESP32 projects coming from a few years of python programming but never C/C++. Considering the Arduino IDE sucks rear end compared to something like pycharm/VSCode, its been hard to discover what the seemingly magic things to call are. I dont know how to go about finding docs on the examples or they dont seem to exist much. ChatGPT has been able to explain example blocks of code and write a lot of code that has either worked out of the box or given me something to google thats led me to the answer.
