MrNeon··on Claude 2.1

In OpenAI's case their "\n\nAssistant:" equivalent is added server side with no option to prefill the response.

MrNeon··on Claude 2.1
Luckily, unlike OpenAI, Anthropic lets you prefill Claude's response which means zero refusals.

But WHO is sitting on massive wealth Smaug-like? Who? That is what I asked.

Name one Smaug-like rich person that is just sitting on massive amounts of wealth.
MrNeon··on YouTube slows down video load times when using Firefox
One feature it lacks is seek bar previews. There are thumbnail scripts but they don't use the available youtube thumbnails.

>For many millennia we were commoning, herding, living in symbiosis with game- and fruit-bearing wildernesses, etc. It's not since the enclosure of the commons that subsistence outside employment has been made, largely, illegal.

And I wouldn't in a thousand years want to have a quality of life as low as we had back then.

Do you think they look as terrible as what was possible two years ago?

If it at some point they go past looking terrible, will you think these in between "terrible" models were a waste of time?

MrNeon··on Segmind Stable Diffusion – A smaller version of Stable Diffusion XL
>As I have been preaching on HN, just don't use A1111 for SDXL.

Why, what am I missing by doing so?

MrNeon··on TimeGPT-1
You are unable to explain it, showing a clear sign of lack of understanding.

But maybe you have links to others who are able to explain it, not the Bitcoin paper which obviously does not lead one to think network security will subsume all available matter for compute.

MrNeon··on TimeGPT-1
You're the stubborn one who refuses to be clear about what you're saying.

Just fucking say it, what's with the running around?

Are you unable to explain it?

MrNeon··on DALL·E 3 is now available in ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise
>- it can get quite repetitive when you ask it for concepts

From what I've read in several places DALL-E 3 in ChatGPT uses the same seed for every generation which can exacerbate that problem.

MrNeon··on TimeGPT-1
Computation is not evenly distributed and changes with time in allocation. As a generality.

I will NOT grant you this. Please, give me actual technical details on WHY it requires ever increasing compute. You've said network security, what about it requires ever increasing compute.

MrNeon··on TimeGPT-1
Thanks for telling me that computation requires physical matter. That sure will help getting to the bottom of this. Now could you answer the question? What is it about the Bitcoin blockchain that requires EVER INCREASING compute.
MrNeon··on TimeGPT-1
I want specifics, what is it about the Bitcoin blockchain you think requires ever increasing storage and compute. Specifically.
MrNeon··on TimeGPT-1
That is... not how a blockchain works at all? Do explain what you mean by it requiring ALL space and ALL compute.
MrNeon··on TimeGPT-1
How high is the waste heat of maintaining the value of fiat currency?
MrNeon··on Expressive text-to-image generation with rich text
If you specify the color of an object in a Stable Diffusion prompt the odds of that color appearing somewhere else explode. Tools like Regional Prompter help a lot with this, and I think the 'region specification by prompt' mode works similarly to Rich Text prompting. Not even dall-e 3 is free from color/style leaking to other parts of the image yet.

MrNeon··on It’s infuriatingly hard to understand how closed models train on their input
Ha ha ha ha. No. OpenAI will never make pre-alignment models available.
MrNeon··on Uncensored Models
I think it gives him most of the favors.

Hard to argue against how popular works that have incredible violence are. Violence is an integral part of the fictional worlds authors build and our stories would be entirely different without it. Of course we want AIs that can engage with those topics.

Your quote says "help with writing" but you couch it as generating "an endless stream". Why would you frame it that way? Come on.

MrNeon··on Show HN: New AI edits images based on text instructions
Using RAM to hold unneeded layers was one of the first optimizations made for Stable Diffusion. The AUTOMATIC1111 WebUI implements it, not sure about others.

> Well, multi-million dollar fines are also very effective ;)

You cannot enforce fines without violence or control of the banks, which you would get through violence.

Most people think their view is morally correct and many think that gives them the right to shove it down other's throats. It doesn't have to come to blows, let people be.

> I really don't want to punch you or any AI researcher as it would be quite pointless

But you will HAVE TO. There is no other way to enforce legislation, threat of violence is necessary. If there is no violence refusal to comply to your legislation follows.

> From your messages, I infer you do not come from a truly democratic country[...]

You are completely and entirely incorrect. I am from the EU and I wish my country would stop abiding by the inane regulations set by the EU that you seem to love.

> At the very least, I know for a fact that every member of my family also feels the same, and that gives me confidence that the majority outside of the HN/tech bubble also feels the same.

> I don't quite understand your points here,

> This is how I experience art, and I'm sure a lot of other people experience it the same way: not as a product, but as art.

My point is you ARE defining what art is, you are saying it is not art unless the viewer goes through the same experience as you. Just... why.

Celebrities and artists were not removed from the data used to train SD 2.0.

2.0 uses a new text encoder trained from scratch and it just did not capture the same famous names as the OpenAI CLIP used in 1.x.

> For example, looking at some drawn art, I can pinpoint exactly what emotions the artist was trying to transmit

You can't test that ability and if you can't test it how are you so sure of it? You're guessing, you're making a narrative in your head, you cannot know if it matches reality.

You care about the author, great. Some don't give a rat's ass about the author. Are those people unable to appreciate art? If they are capable why do you insist on knowing intent being necessary for art?

> Not all people are blinded by the awesomeness of a new technology

Ah, well we are lucky that you, the one that sees, is here to tell us the TRUTH.

> Regarding legislation, I see I have struck some chords here

Yes, of course, it is violence. If you support legislation you support violence. There is no effectual legislation without violence. So if you think AI should be legislated get up and go punch some researchers yourself. Don't send others do the dirty work for you.

> I can very well get to define what art means to me.

Never meant to say otherwise.

> Process is actually very easy to infer if the art is made by a human, since the emotions that are being conveyed by the humans behind the screen are displayed directly on screen.

I couldn't disagree more, unless you have some method, some mechanism I know not of you are only guessing. It is good guessing because humans are more alike than not but still only guessing.

Often not even the artist himself knows the process.

I have grown to abhor legislation, if you want to aggress the users of AI tools then do it yourself without the help of the state.

I looked at the image and it feels like art in the terms that you put it.

What now. Is my inner experience of art not valid? How do we reconcile this?

MrNeon··on Artist banned, told to “find a different style”- AI-made art
> what really matters in art is the process

You don't get to define what is art. Art can and does move people who have absolutely no idea of what the process to create it was.

You have your way to experience art, it isn't the only way. In fact you have a limited ability to learn about the process, how much of it are you making up in your head?
