.. the mods of most subreddits are public. This is a trivial thing to verify. It's as valid as any other information posted that you haven't personally inspected. I have no idea why you're so belligerent about this, but it's odd.


[flagged]


How am I supposed to do that? You don't accept other people's verification of information.


The person above you just did it. It's called 'show your work'. And it doesn't show what the parent says, at all.


Almost like if you read the followups, those few power mods created multiple alt accounts in the wake of the post.

But keep acting super weird about this, I guess.


Asking for proof is 'super weird' but 'conspiracy of reddit mods' is not?


No, a conspiracy of Reddit mods is not super weird.

Cliques of petty tyrants are nothing new on or off the internet.

What’s weird is thinking Reddit is somehow immune to human nature.


Sorry but 'human nature' doesn't preclude need for proof. Just because something seems plausible doesn't make it evidence that it happened.


There’s plenty of proof a Google search away. This wasn’t some great secret.


Yeah I have been asking for it and gotten either 'search for it, it is easy to find' or a runaround where people claim to have it and then don't. So, provide it or stop asserting that you have it.


It's not really discrimination to say "you have a potential bias on this particular candidate, you shouldn't be involved in the decision".


I would consider that discrimination, unless it applied to all religions. e.g. if you're a Catholic, you can't interview a Catholic, etc. But even that I don't think would legally fly because (IANAL) I believe religion is a protected class.


It's not discrimination because it has nothing to do with whether Mormons are hired. It has everything to do with who has a say in hiring them. BYU grads can still be hired, they just have to be hired by someone who isn't going to bias their decision with their personal beliefs.


You can't use this to make logos for any commercial product, and it's not safe to use it for hobby projects either, based on the current model license.


> You can't use this to make logos for any commercial product

Yeah good luck figuring out that a particular logo was generated with this particular model. And if someone does good luck doing anything about it.

With this amount of fear one wouldn't dare to cross a road without three layers of bubble wrap, plus written authorisation from a lawyer plus a feasibility study from a traffic engineer.


You've never gone through an acquisition or due diligence, have you?


Clearly.

Explain it to me what will happen with the generated logo at an acquisition or due diligence.


You'll be asked to produce documents verifying your ownership and/or compliance with any licenses for all intellectual property. That includes code and graphics (logos).


Sure. And what documents and paperwork do you expect if I the owner of the company drawn the logo myself with a bit of a crayon/inkscape/gimp/blender? Those exact documents will be produced.


I would expect a lawsuit if you gave them to investors, and jailtime if it was part of an IPO. Keep draggin down that bar in tech, I guess.


You also cannot just ingest people's media to train a for-profit AI image generation service, and well, here we are.

PS: not an AI apologist, just pointing the irony. Feels like those fan sonic characters "original content do not steal".



The current license makes this largely unusable for nearly any purpose. Really disappointing release from SAI.


I think this is just for pre-release, and they will release fully licensed for Commercial. It doesn't make sense to have a model like this that can do game changing text and logos... but then not license it for commercial. If they don't, that would be ridiculous.


This is an absurd moral panic. If someone mentally ill read a book that made them believe suicide was the correct option, would you support a censoring process for all books?


My apologies, but as a human language model, it is unlikely that ChatGPT would have much impact on human culture.


why not?

i'd say llm's represent a institutionalized reinforcement of bias (much like journalism) combined with some in-human autonomy.


I've been using Privacy.com cards for years to avoid this. Set a limit of 1 month on the card, and if I'm actually using the sub I'll fix/update it when the sub runs out.


> I personally think the first man down the ladder on mars should be a woman, and it would be great if it were her.

Probably not your intent, but this sounds incredibly patronizing.


I disagree, I think it's an awesome sentiment to want to get out of the way of women pioneering advances in space flight.


Is it patronizing to say, "I think the next president should be a woman?"


Yes of course. It implies that the most impactful thing your presidential candidate can do is have a female gender.


Nah. It could imply that there are many equally qualified people for the job, and having a woman do it is beneficial in its own right. Y'know, to show that it is possible in the first place, contrary to our entire history so far??


Patronizing whom?


This already exists for LLaMA, I'm sure it'll be implemented for StableLM as well.

good looks on the link! I was experimenting with script writing the other day and thought "gee, I really wish I could finetune on Beckett plays specifically".

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this same tipping point, but when I used to have ideas, I would look them up and discover that implementing them was probably out of scope. These days, I think "wouldn't it be cool..." and immediately stumble on a way to make it happen, by accident.
