This is a pretty good video about restoration options.

Injuries happen in nature. Three-legged tortoises are valid!

This author is a serious prude. They have an interesting definition of Otaku and makes it seem as if all doujin were porn.

Reminder that this is made by Ben Zhao, the University of Chicago professor who stole open source code for his last data poisoning scheme.

Here you go.

That's not by design, That's a failure state known as overfitting. This happens when you have the same thing repeated in your training set too many times, and it effectively gets "burned in". The whole point of generative AI is to create new things, why would you ruin a perfectly good system to accomplish the same thing as clicking "save as"?

It was Midjourney that had the Afghan Girl problem, BTW, not GPTs.

You're beginning to understand.

I guess I want free art, you should too. There is nothing wrong with wanting a tool to help people better communicate, inspire, create, and connect with each other in ways they may not have been able to before.

We’re all standing on the shoulders of giants. We learn from each other, and humanity is at its best when we can all share in our advancements. Calling this stealing is self-serving, manipulative rhetoric that unjustly vilifies people and misrepresents the reality of how these models work.

It took us 100,000 years to get from cave drawings to Leonard Da Vinci. This is just another step, like artists who used Camera Obscura in the past. It's important to remember that early man was as smart as we are, they just lacked the interconnectivity that we have.

I don't think there is some loophole that is against the spirit of the law, it works like this on purpose. In the US, fair use balances the interests of copyright holders with the public’s right to access and use information. There are rights people can maintain over their work, and the rights they do not maintain have always been to the benefit of self-expression and discussion. We shouldn't be trying to make that any worse.

I disagree with that article 100%. They’re missing the spirit of copyright law which is to protect artists that create original work. They already try to protect musicians and do this in music with sampling. But instead of one artist stealing parts of your song or the spirit of the song, they’re coming after visual art from every angle because it’s a computer and like 10,000 people doing that. We should be able to copyright our work and have to agree for it to be used, the end. It’s ridiculous and greedy of these huge companies to do anything else.

To quote the article:

First, copyright law doesn’t prevent you from making factual observations about a work or copying the facts embodied in a work (this is called the “idea/expression distinction”). Rather, copyright forbids you from copying the work’s creative expression in a way that could substitute for the original, and from making “derivative works” when those works copy too much creative expression from the original.

Fair use protects reverse engineering, indexing for search engines, and other forms of analysis that create new knowledge about works or bodies of works. Here, the fact that the model is used to create new works weighs in favor of fair use as does the fact that the model consists of original analysis of the training images in comparison with one another.

Just to be clear, I don't give a shit about corporations, but what you want will hurt all artists and give corporations the unprecedented legal tools to take down anything they don't feel like having around.

What part are you referencing here:

Also, how fucked up is it that they liken it to the little guy competing with big companies, that’s not a thing. If they used public domain art, I don’t think any of this would be an issue. Do we own our own voice, imagination, likeness? I say yeah, we do. The corporations shouldn’t have the rights to those.

I'm not really sure what this is about.

I recommend reading this article by Kit Walsh, a senior staff attorney at the EFF if you haven't already. The EFF is a digital rights group who most recently won a historic case: border guards now need a warrant to search your phone.

Also remember that AI training isn’t only for mega-corporations. We can already train open source models, we shouldn't put up barriers that only benefit the ultra-wealthy. If we weaken fair use, we hand corporations a monopoly of a public technology by making it prohibitively expensive to for regular people to keep up. Mega corporations already own datasets, and have the money to buy more. And that's before they make users sign predatory ToS allowing them exclusive access to user data, effectively selling our own data back to us. Regular people, who could have had access to a competitive, corporate-independent tool for creativity, education, entertainment, and social mobility, would instead be left worse off and with fewer rights than where they started.

Earth was like those planets at various points in time.

Beware, this is made by Ben Zhao, the University of Chicago professor who stole open source code for his last data poisoning scheme.

Luckily, AI is a public technology. That's why they're already trying their hand at regulatory capture. And they might just get it. Just like they're trying to destroy encryption. Support open source development, It's our only chance. Their AI will never work for us. John Carmack put it best.

This is a fighting game?

I can't believe you've done this.

The guy's a turd on Twitter. I think he's just not-so-secretly just not a great guy. There's probably a good reason he got fired.

Oh shit, I didn't know you posted here. I just posted one of your pictures earlier. Good stuff.

It's going to be PS4 at varying lower resolutions. It could have looked a lot better.

Nintendo's cheaping out on their customers again. Imagine having modern looking Nintendo games again?
