Also interesting, "Header image originally generated with DALL·E 2 with caption “purple database icon lifted by crane”, Dall.E is going mainstream. What will gig economy artist do? How will this affect copyright?

AI generated imagery cannot be copyrighted: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/us-copyright-offic...

Certainly puts us in an interesting situation. It should essentially make all Dall.E generated imagery essentially public domain. Implications are interesting as more images begin to be used in published works rather than just as memes on twitter.

You can just photoshop / modify parts of the generated image and it could then be copyrighted

Yep, and as noted in the article here "slightly modified afterwards" probably covers that base. It'll also be hard to identify AI generated vs human created vs human adjusted as time goes on without flags to designate each as such.

The ruling was that the AI generated imagery can not be copyrighted by the AI. Anyone using a creative tool to create an image can personally have the copyright.

Because of DALL-E 2's license agreement do they have to always include that citation when presenting their logo?

"You must clearly indicate that images are AI-generated - or which portions of them are - by attributing to OpenAI when sharing, whether in public or private."

*SpiceDB Playground

"Dropping playground latency 90% by porting SpiceDB to WASM" is probably the title I should've submitted.

The entirety of SpiceDB (minus caching) runs under WASM, but the measurements are from the application of that to https://play.authzed.com

OK, I've updated the title now. (submitted title was 'Dropping latency 90% by porting SpiceDB to WASM')

You mentioned your uncompressed binary was 25MB. The compressed version still must be huge.

Did you look at using the TinyGo compiler? It should help some, and I'm curious what the difference is, and whether there were any blockers to using it.

I did actually briefly look into it! I was hoping it would work for us, but the first time I tried to perform the compilation with it, it failed due to issues with support for at least one of the dependencies we bring in. I don't remember the exact failure as its been a few weeks, but since the bundle size went to down a manageable (but still largish) 5MB once we enabled aggressive caching, fixing our code to work with TinyGo was deemed less critical.

I very much hope to get back to it soon and see if we can move over to it.

Clicked thinking this was something about getting a database of spice circuit simulations running in your browser.
