Looks like it's already suffered from 'issue bloat' of people suggesting small changes in the issues and the maintainer not being tough enough to reject the changes
I can never read comments on any wolfram blog on HN because they're always so mean spirited. I'm seeing a nerdy guy explaining things from a cool new perspective I'm excited to read through. The comments almost always have some lens against him being 'self centered' or obsessing about cellular automata (who cares we all have our obsessions)
They've cut out things like viewing who liked a tweet etc (for cost savings I suspect) so the site is probably dirt cheap. Can't imagine ads don't pay for the cost of running servers at this point, and a headcount reduction might bring it to profitability.
You can make this without loras too (e.g. elon and AOC and many celebrities exist without extra steps). Wonder how this affects open source models in general
Everyone complaining about not having data access: Remember that without meta you would have openai and anthropic and that's it. I'm really thankful they're releasing this, and the reason they can't release the data is obvious.
I'd like to continue on the narrative here but the truth is kind of that tech itself hasn't really had much exciting things to report on in the ~2017 to now period. If I were in their shoes I'd probably switch reporting to anti tech as well.
Such a silly argument. Fixing topology is a nearly solved problem in geometry processing. (Or just start with a good topology and 'paste' a texture onto it like they develop techniques for here.)
Use SDXL instead of sd1.5. Also don't do negative prompting on "distorted, ugly" because everyone follows these guides blindly and the result is the same types of mode collapsed faces which people have learned to recognize as AI. Use loras instead (to make it look slightly amateurish, or just away from the cookie cutter AI style which everyone notices).
They're pretty clear about being pro safety to the extreme, and mass surveillance to protect american interests and abuse of LLM tech (e.g. open source misuses) are probably within the umbrella of ends justifying the means logic anthropic employs.
I kind of respect deepmind for simply keeping their nose to the ground and doing good work like this without overhyping it too much. More of the under promise over deliver engineering style than some of their competitors tends to do it
