This article is essentially a damaging self-fulfilling prophecy camouflaging as analysis. The world is full of turnarounds, and stories where "mistakes" turn out to be happy accidents: "maybe so, maybe not."

if you're into these sort of things, check out "Hainbach" on Youtube.

Phones and photography are banned in many Berlin clubs - they either lock your phone away at the entrance or put a sticker on the camera. That's why you barely see any footage from inside Berghain anywhere...

I've been thinking a lot about what constitutes "AI-native". In this "blog", I'm exploring this question by turning the blog post itself into something you can prompt and change as you read it.

The described step function changes are super apt and mostly overlooked by the pure hype crowd (although the step functions enabled by AI should really be what the main hype ought to be about!)

That said, once you get into the step function changes, the GPT-wrapper accusation might quickly become akin to a "AWS-wrapper" one, with traditional moats getting more important than AI-native ones.

We've had internet-enabled businesses without technical moats (but very real other moats, be it UX, social platform effects or a great b2b sales process) for the longest time, and might just see the same thing play out in AI native land

The way the author summarizes his own study in this thread borders on misinformation. You could actually take their findings and write the opposite headline, which would more accurately reflect their actual research results:

"Critics claim that models such as Stable Diffusion act like modern collage tools, recreating copyrighted and sensitive material.

Yet, our new paper shows that this behaviour is exceedingly rare, recreating copies in less than 0,00006% of 175M test cases."

Hoping for a quick sane ruling here. The whole thing is written in a way that clearly isn't interested in the fundamental reality of the technology, and calling it a "collage tool" is just manipulatively wrong.

What exactly are you struggling with? The main challenge with Midjourney is to open up a broader style pallete, while the out of the box vanilla results are usually amazing in v4.

It's surprising to see that there are liberal proponents of this. You don't have to be a raging libertarian to see the risks of unlocking this much financial reach for governments. We (in the West) may now mostly live under reasonable governments, but there's obviously no guarantee that this won't change (including towards your <current political opponents>), and implementing social credit score systems and other dystopian things would be much easier under CBDC than it currently is?

amazing work!

Curious how you cloned the voices - tortoise? I've previously tried Herzog, but couldn't quite train the German accent...
