  • Something the art community has been waiting for for decades. Some blessed soul was finally brave enough to define what art is or isn’t, and it was the Pope! It has a spark, a soul.

    After years of hating on various communities, including most of the art ones, they might finally be onto something.







  • Imagine a book with very large pages filled with words and half words. When you ask it a question, it flips through these pages one by one and highlights words. The pages are interconnected in a way, so the word highlighted on one page help guide which will be highlighted on the next. It does this for every word, symbol or half word of it’s reply.

    By threatening it repeatedly while mildly changing the subject manner, they isolated the word groupings that represent pain and fear.

    They then take those words, highlight them and put them at the top of the first page which guides the rest of the highlighting and makes it act silly.







  • There are constantly new techniques being developed to speed up inference or reduce model size post training. There’s about a hundred different levers to pull that play on inference cost, and some of them don’t have much of an impact on quality.

    In the end, it’s probably simply because of competition. I don’t understand why everybody assumes they are running these at cost API wise.

    Edit: here’s a chart from ars technica. The cost of revenue is clearly lower than the actual revenue. They aren’t running inference at a lost or it would be higher. They aren’t profitable because they are spending all that money on capturing the market as quick as they can. For fucks sake, that includes all the free accounts as well running inference. How can anyone think a paying customer is getting it at less than cost?

    And yes, there have been advancement made. The cost of inference isn’t some static number that can never go down. Stop believing them when they tell you there’s no profit to be made. It’s the same playbook as a dozen other companies, they literally get rewarded for it when it comes tax time.





  • He’s saying AI is the product of capitalism and you’re trying to criticize capitalism by using one of its product

    This was the argument I was responding too mostly, I’m not actually saying not to use windows or ms paint, it was an exaggeration to make you understand how your point doesn’t really hold up if you put it in an other context.

    The level of granularity you use to judge one tech from an other is very different. For AI, everything gets dumped into one basket and judged by the extremes, everything else is looked at case by case.

    We are talking about making memes here, there’s less of a security issue about it than going to the bathroom.

    This is the equivalent of saying “You can use a camera to film someone naked without their consent, so don’t ever use a camera for anything whatsoever”.

    Imo, it’s just a knee jerk reaction. You see AI and you complain, you don’t actually think about it. You don’t wonder about how any other content you see was made or hold any of it to the same standards.
