Me, turning on my PC every day after my main PC was bricked while rebooting for a Win10 update…

I’m too lazy to memorize alt codes

I took every coding class my highschool offered, and the only thing that drove me more crazy than this syntax was trying to use CSS.

Or just increase the size of the pen tool…

You’re a god amongst men around these parts.

It’s an unpopular opinion but I do agree with this. Google deserves to get a lot of shit for a lot of things, but even after how far downhill YouTube has gone it’s still the best hosting/streaming service out there.

Between podcasts at work and normal videos at home I probably watch more than 8hrs of YouTube a day with no issues. I may as well pay for it like I would Netflix, considering I get, like, 20x more out of it in comparison.

If there was a non-enshittified alternative, though, I’d gladly pay for it.

I have infinite respect for anyone that professionally works with assembly. That shit is wizardry compared to today’s higher level languages.

It’s what all the normies use. If they lose a major source of traffic over it, they might stop doing it.

It’d be nice if Google unlisted links that bring you to “install our app or you get nothing” pages

Eh, mostly true but there are good ones. From Software has a great track record, for example.

Definitely an exception to the rule tho

I was skeptical about all the hate Discord has been getting recently, but this settled it for me

And I provided evidence the article says something wildly different than what you want it to say, and all you have is “read it again until it says something else” lol

Also voting with two accounts is pathetic

“your evidence is cherry-picked but I refuse to provide any of my own, why aren’t you just trusting me??” very convincing

If it’s cherry-picked it should be easy to give me a single sentence, but apparently you can’t lol

Mhm, I’m sure that’s why you couldn’t find a single sentence about compositing images

DALL·E 2 uses a diffusion model conditioned on CLIP image embeddings, which, during inference, are generated from CLIP text embeddings by a prior model.

You’re either projecting or being dishonest

AI, unlike a human, cannot create unique works of art. it can old produce an algorithmically-derived malange of its source-data recomposited in novel forms

Find me a single sentence in that entire article that suggests AI art is composites of source data

You can’t, because how it actually works is wildly different than how you want to believe it works.

Coming from someone who claimed stable diffusion was a composite image

but it is still capable - by your own admission - of doing it

…

And if you are comparing LLMs and hammers, you’re just proving how you fundamentally misunderstand what LLMs are and how they work

And a regular hammer is capable of being used for murder. Which makes calling a hammer that evaporates before it can be used for murder “unethical” ridiculous. You’re deliberately missing the point.

And it still profits from the unlicensed use of copyrighted works by using such material for its training data

I just don’t buy this reasoning. If I look at paintings of the Eiffel Tower and then sell my own painting of the building, I’m not violating the copyright of any of the original painters unless what I paint is so similar to one of theirs that it violates fair use.

it is a composite of copyrighted work

It’s stable diffusion, not a composite. But even if they were composites, I’m allowed to shred a magazine and make a composite image of something else. It’s fair use until I use those pieces to create a copyrighted image.

it can old produce an algorithmically-derived malange of its source-data recomposited in novel forms

Right, it produces derivative data. Not copyrighted material.

By itself without any safeguards, it absolutely could output copyrighted data, (albeit probably not perfectly but for copyright purposes that’s irrelevant as long as it serves as a substitute). And any algorithms that do do that should be punished, but OpenAI’s models can’t do that.

Hammers aren’t bad because they can be used for bludgeoning, and if we have a hammer that somehow detects that it’s being used for murder and then evaporates, calling it bad is even more ridiculous.

And the same can be said about generative AI

If it’s not redistributed copyrighted material, it’s not theft
