Since any reductions to copyright, if they occur at all, will take a while to happen, I hope someone comes up with an opt-in limited term copyright. At max, I'd be satisfied with a 45-50 year limited copyright on everything I make, and could see going shorter under plenty of circumstances.

I wish I could get through to people who fear AI copyright infringement on this point.

Interesting. I've seen plenty of mentions of the potential use of AI in medicinal imaging, but not in a context where time is of the essence. That's a particularly compelling use case.
"Still needs to be greenlit by the FDA" - has anyone read a discussion of how the FDA is handing AI medical applications? Considering how overwrought the approval procedure can be for more mundane medical technologies, I have little hope that the process is going to be efficient and effective.

Not a stupid question at all - the way you do it isn’t intuitive, and I hope gets made easier with further software developments. In the search bar near your username at the upper right enter, communityname@instancename, for ex. newcommunities@lemmy.world, and if it’s working right the version of the community that’s synced to kbin will show up. Catch is that right now it randomly seems to glitch, and fail or return nothing, so if doesn’t work at first you’ll just have to try again later. I’m sure the people running the site are aware of the issue and trying to get it sorted out, for now it’s one of the things to put up with a platform that basically started last month.

Yeah, you’d better have a through way to check if there are any systematic distortions that could have an adverse effect on its operation. I do get the privacy rationale for using synthesized data, though.

You could even do an image with a QR code to the kbin or lemmy address.

I had a feeling that the silence over the last few days was a sign that a huge amount of work was happening behind the scenes. I also think you’re doing an excellent job of communicating with us. Thank you for all your effort that’s allowed this community to grow.
I hope it’s the open release of SDXL - the beta on the Stable Diffusion discord is getting pretty impressive. In any case, I’d like a tea serving drone 😁.
I’ve been following the development of the next Stable Diffusion model, and I’ve seen this approach mentioned. Seems like this is a way in which AI training is analogous to human learning - we learn quite a lot from fiction, games, simulations and apply this to the real world. I’m sure the same pitfalls apply as well.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Discovery is difficult right now, advertising in places that are genuinely relevant is a real service.

I’m sure there is, though I’ve never looked into it. If it’s tap water, the approximate range for some of the minerals is usually on your local water quality report.
babelspace 1 year ago • 100%
I think I’ve experienced this a few times that I can recall.
babelspace 1 year ago • 100%
Yes. The content of various common minerals can vary by orders of magnitude across different sources. Though I pay attention to this less on its own and more in the context of brewing tea, since the water you use affects the outcome quite a lot.

That's definitely a better graph visually. (The image capability is cool, the graph I got on the earlier model was in text form). But I think it is wrong - "prepare (tinder, kindling, and fuel wood)" are all redundant to each other. Plus there's a direct link from "prepare tinder wood" to "maintain fire" - if this is a causal diagram indicating the sequence of actions a person needs to take, "prepare wood " should link to "light fire". I don't have a record of the exact prompts I was using, but I was working more with the fact that oxygen. fuel, and heat are all necessary but independent preconditions for a fire to start.

It's just one method to make tea. Some teas taste quite different from cup to cup (wuyi oolongs, for example), some are more consistent, in my experience. What I like is that it's easy to adjust depending on the outcome - one infusion is too weak or too strong? Brew the next one more or less.
This is the potential development in AI I'm most interested in. So naturally, I tested this when I first used ChatGPT. In classic ChatGPT fashion, when asked to make a directed acyclic graph representing cause and effect, it could interpret that well enough to make a simple graph...but got the cause and effect flow for something as simple as lighting a fire. Haven't tried it again with ChatGPT-4 though.

I enjoy brewing loose leaf tea gongfu style (in a small vessel with many infusions): it gives me just enough to do, and a pleasant stimulus to focus on, that it's very grounding.

Although AI will impart a pretty new flavor to it, I think whether or not AI gets used a tool to create more genuine value, vs being used to produce bullshit at greater scale and efficiency, comes down to human organizational factors that don’t have much to do with AI. Take the example of the recommendation letter: if the person writing the letter and the organization receiving it cares that content of the letter reflects real experiences, then I think AI writing assistance will be used to that end. If it’s just a rote requirement that needs to be ticked off, then lazy AI written letters will prove quite effective. Whether people care or not I think has to with the interaction of their own personal values with the structural incentives the organization. New developments in AI may highlight how those incentives are aligned or misaligned, but potential solutions have to do with a facet of human behavior that’s much more ancient.

This sent me down a rabbit hole of trying a lot more gibberish/unconventional prompts on Midjourney. There’s something fascinating about seeing such a complex response that’s clearly an unintended side-effect of the training process, even though the results have a pretty conventional “Midjourney look”.
Putting in your username is also an amusing exercise. This is what I get for babelspace The ‘space’ influence is pretty obvious, I think it’s associating babel > babble and babies, which I assume is where the color scheme and youthfulness comes from.
If anyone without a Midjourney subscription wants to see what their username looks like, I would be happy to run it for you.

I’ve seen the fedi search link before, it’s a great idea. That said, it’s currently no good for finding things on kbin - for example, try searching AskKbin, which has been quite active - you get almost nothing back. Hopefully it will be better in a few days.
babelspace 1 year ago • 100%
Aww. How did she get that name?
Like most who’ve joined kbin or lemmy, I’m actively looking for more communities to subscribe to. We don’t have a way to do a centralized search for these across instances yet, so I’m sure there’s some I’ve overlooked. What smaller technology related groups have you discovered that could use more publicity? So far, I like the spirit of Actually Useful AI - [auai@programming.dev](https://programming.dev/c/auai/): “Not allowed - anything else the mods consider “crypto bro”/“AI bro” success porn sigma grindset blogspam” 😆. Aside from AI, I’d be interested in finding active communities that focus on web development.

I really like what you’ve been posting so far. I’ve been working more with image generating AI -but I would have been interested in following information regarding more general/text focused AI on Reddit, except all the communities I checked were pretty bad 😂.
Some places I think you can promote it -
artificial@kbin.social
Any big technology community, there’s multiple on different instances
If we can find an article related to image AI, I can post it to the stable diffusion groups. I’ve been posting at stablediffusion@kbin.social.
babelspace 1 year ago • 100%
Awesome. Though I notice very little shows up from kbin.social; content I know is there is missing when I search for it. That may have more to do with the recency of the site growth or the cloudflare protection that was up a few days ago.
I [made](https://zavant.ai/creations/4112e8fe-59c4-457b-bef8-2a21e3183cf2) a large scale working QR Code scene that points to kbin.social. I used the new QR Code Control for SD 1.5 (released [here](https://huggingface.co/DionTimmer/controlnet_qrcode), and multiple rounds of upscale in img2img using it, controlnet tile, and the t2ia color control, starting from a QR code I made with [this QR code generator](https://quickqr.art/).

For example, here is one I just made that gathers general music communities across instances: music groups
babelspace 1 year ago • 100%
Good on you! Hope that a lot more people on kbin take this approach.
Right now, the search capabilities we have for findings magazines aren’t great, and aren’t usually going to show communities on similar topics across instances. If people make lists of related communities and posted them here, I think it would help people find communities they are searching for.
Just general groups for now. Kbin relative links: [music@lemmy.world](/m/music@lemmy.world) [music@beehaw.org](/m/music@beehaw.org) [music@lemmy.ml](/m/music@lemmy.ml) [music@sopuli.xyz](/m/music@sopuli.xyz) [music@kbin.social](/m/music@kbin.social) Lemmy relative links: [music@lemmy.world](/c/music@lemmy.world) [music@beehaw.org](/c/music@beehaw.org) [music@lemmy.ml](/c/music@lemmy.ml) [music@sopuli.xyz](/c/music@sopuli.xyz) [music@kbin.social](/c/music@kbin.social)

Assuming you don’t want to go to effort of training for a single image, I’d try inputting the image of a face in img2img mode with some Controlnet options to selectively retain elements of the image.

I like the idea of this community, and subscribed, but fyi that link doesn't work for me on kbin. This is the right link on here, I believe: https://kbin.social/m/auai@programming.dev - m rather than c.

How is Stable Diffusion connected to bad/short term orientated social media company policy changes? The ChatGPT connection I understand, even if I don’t think it’s the root cause. (Interest rate increases I think are more fundamental, even if AI is cited by companies as an influence on their choices.)

Great band. A pity I only found out about them after some of the key original members left - would love to see them perform live.
Dreamy, sultry folk/alternative hybrid. A excellent recent band that seems to have fallen through the cracks of people’s attention.
