I think it's quite simple.. It costs a fortune to use robots for anything novel and the chance of producing anything useful in practice is pretty low. What they've done here is cut their R&D budget because they didn't see any returns
Has anyone tried Nightshade yet? I don't have high hopes, but I'm giving it a go for shits n giggles & to see what the end result looks like. I've also been looking into what r/stablediffusion has to say about it. Warning; there are some (not all) people in there that sound like incels, but with artists instead of women;…
Towards that end, I found this to be an illustrative summary of someone's personal experience working with these AI tools. https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/1mtaogr/im_a_programmer_my_boss_always_tells_me_to_use_ai/
I found this article pretty informative, about how to spot AI fakes, and whether it's ultimately a losing battle (or not!). https://www.science.org/content/article/deepfakes-are-everywhere-godfather-digital-forensics-fighting-back One thing I found a little bit annoying was their reliance on perspective lines to help…
I haven't posted here recently because it's kind of obvious at this point; the bubble is popping. 30,000 laid off at Oracle, Copilot is 'for entertainment purposes only', etc, etc. Beating a dead horse with 5 legs and 2 necks at this point…
I have yet to see any real explanation for why the team was let go, and I’m somewhat hesitant to assume it’s because take 2 thinks gen ai is a bad bet. When I first saw Luke’s post I had that same thought of “oh good, it’s happening” but dug in a bit more. There’s responses and likes of his in the past that call out gen AI…
I found this to be wildly accurate comparison to the state AI industry is in. https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1bowvhn/me_and_the_current_state_of_ai/ If anything AI models are widely appreciated by anime pornographers, so maybe there is hope for humanity yet lol
from the comments lol: Community: Nvidia, how are scrambled eggs made? Nvidia: Scrambled eggs are made from wheat, and the hens have full control over the result. Community: Really, isn’t it made from eggs? Nvidia: It is made from eggs, but wheat is the main input for the eggs, wheat thereby acts as a control plane for…
Rather unsurprisingly, after the CEO chatted a load of shit, Nvidia have confirmed it's just doing the usual slop AI generation on top of the rendered image. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0EM1vKt36s Not that that wasn't obvious to anyone with eyes, but you know, they were lying calling it "generative control at the…
