Exciting times.
The first mover who can surreptitiously replace cam girls doing stuff like drinking milk out of dog bowls while wearing dog costumes is going to make so much money from unsuspecting rubes who think they're actually paying strangers to degrade themselves.
"A fool and his money are soon parted"
I think you're unaware of just how much some people make on onlyfans. It's far more than a few dollars.
not to mention something like this will allow you to generate body types that are very rare, if not outright impossible, and you can animate them doing things that are also very rare, or outright impossible.
Perhaps synthetic porn will get there some day. But we’re far off from being able to do consistent scenes and the tools to create them.
So far we have
- multi modality - text, image, audio, video, math, code. At some point in the future brain scans will also become a cheap modality to train on.
- multi task - finetuning on hundreds of tasks at once and getting zero shot task capabilities
- multi memory - except for the limited buffer, the language models can use retrieval/search over an external corpus or knowledge base and in-batch memories. This opens up the possibility of large scale context, updating recent factual information without retraining; can also make a small LM perform as well as a huge LM without the memory
- multi environment - huge training corpus is great, but is fixed, while environments are dynamic. Agents interacting with games, chat bots, robots, REPL can explore endless scenarios interactively.
What would happen if we can translate videos into holograms that can be projected into the living room. In fact hologram virtual objects that can be felt even.
Everything is converging to the ultimate use case: porn and virtual sex.
A solution against population decline or population explosion might be to conjure up holographic sex objects. It will cost nothing to the participant, only their sperm or eggs submitted to a government affiliated contractor.
To increase population, the freemium user donates their sperm or eggs fulfilment center. To decrease population, the user notices nothing the fertile fulfillment center is tasked with rejecting or accepting constant stream of sperm and eggs.
Babies born out of this state system would literally own nothing and be happy. Their foster parents have access to all well being and health resources provided by the state. Divorce is at an all time low due to the fact that people marry solely for the purpose, as nobody needs to work for a roof or gas anymore. Every need, every high (state regulated ofc), every material need (permanent hologram tactile objects that looks indistinguishable from the real thing but fixed to a specific room or ultrasound speaker lined walls).
Humanity is chained to this Matrix like system where humans are harvested and where the participant only provides seed and in return receive everything from the state. Food, shelter, entertainment, simulation of meaningful work (euro truck simulator 2223), all is provided and you will own nothing and be happy.
Everyone is freaking out about this. Wouldn't it just be better if we just accepted it and got on with our lives?
When anyone can generate any video of any subject doing anything at all, we just need to come to grips with that fact. It's the new normal, and there's no going back.
Also noticed their “anime” prompt doesn’t look like anime, it looks like animated copyright free clip art. I can’t read the original Chinese prompt though, maybe it makes sense there.
