𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 18I'll be in SF next Sunday afternoon (2022-10-23) & probably Monday, maybe Tuesday, if anyone wants to hang out. Suggestions for new/unusual things to do also welcome.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 7A good example of art as conspicuous consumption/leisure. The lack of interest any of the coverage has in looking at the doodles up close or for more than an instant shows that everyone is only interested in the sheer profligate waste of human time/labor. If it was done by AI...

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 6Today's anime AI drama: it appears 4chan may've hacked & leaked in a torrent @novelaiofficial's model-checkpoints & website code? No clear confirmation in the threads yet. (I'd be wary of running since as a loudmouth anon points out, ckpts=code.)

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 18In randomized experiments of ads, people *do* stop watching entirely, and the buying effects are also extremely small. I've linked you both literatures on this.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 25(Look, I'm not saying terminology merits all the bikeshedding it inevitably receives; just that your life is now quantifiably better because I went with "the scaling hypothesis" instead of the alternatives like "the big blob of compute" or "one chonky is all you need".)
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 5Another subtle cognitive distortion I've been noticing: date intervals or durations. It seems like people are increasingly losing their grip on intuitive temporal durations, thinking in a Perpetual Now, and are increasingly surprised when I tuck in an explicit 'X years ago'.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 10Q. Does anyone have a batch of random samples from Stable Diffusion I can browse?
I mean completely random, just random samples from its distribution—not variations on a prompt or a random walk from a prompt or multiple decodes from a prompt, which is all everyone seems to have?

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 12I suggest "promptie", by analogy to "skiddie". People who can only ask the AI for stuff because they have no independent skills to program or edit.
"That Jack is such a promptie, he can't even fix that hand or finetune SD without the Colab."

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 8It was both, more or less. He and Colbert could be decent during the GWB years, but as soon as Obama was elected, all the comedians died (despite Obama continuing so many GWB policies!). They could go after the out-group, but not the in-group.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 3Why do you think that is necessary? Fashion doesn't have copyright on designs, much less 'style' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion_d…
What a nightmare it would be if someone owned 'styles' like 'anime', which is exactly where rentseeking would take such proposals...
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 11The 3 hacker genders:
1. "Can I run 𝘋𝘰𝘰𝘮 on it?"
2. "Can I run P2P on it?"
3. "Can I run NetBSD^WLinux on it?"

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 10Come to think of it, is this the first hacked/leaked neural net model that anyone really cares about using?
SD 'leaked' a week or two early but that hardly counts; the AID2 incidents didn't leak the GPT-3 models; nothing else comes to mind.
