> I was ripping Loab apart, and putting her back together. She is an emergent island in the latent space that we don't know how to locate with text queries. But for the AI, Loab was an equally strong point of convergence as a verbal concept. And really, it was usually stronger!

It took them about 24 hours to come up with a merch store[1] for this character, too.

I suppose they might as well while they’ve got their 5 minutes of fame.

Or someone who's pressing buttons and has absolutely zero fucking ideas of what the underlying tech id and does

Reminds of most humanities.

That’s a very ignorant statement.

> But I can confirm Loab exists in multiple image-generation AI models

Or they're lying and this is just a stunt to generate buzz.

Italians have a precise word for that: "supercazzola". It's when someone voluntarily uses this nonsense bs to sell something or simulate some kind of knowledge.

That word makes me hungry

oh, really? it translates to "super cock sucker" :D

> She is an emergent island in the latent space that we don't know how to locate with text queries

That is definitely a tall statement short on evidence. We expect there to be countless islands in latent space - this is basically a related concept to grandmother neurons, although instead of "Jennifer Aniston neuron" we have this "Loab neuron" which has no particular obvious origin. But I don't think there is anything privileged or special about this cluster.

They forgot to mention how the metaverse created her, but now she has escaped into the real world!
