    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
